For all the lovers of a mafia romance with the "who did this to you?" trope. Luna The shadows still stalk my steps, even after two years. His voice still haunts my dreams, even after all this time. I swore I'd never dance with devils who paint their stories in blood again. Yet here I am, undone...

Now I’ve been dragged to the Elemental Fae Academy to control the powers I unlocked that night. So kissing? Yeah, that won’t happen again. Nope.

The MacTavish men are wild and passionate. They marry for love. I don't. I may be a MacTavish, but it's not an emotion I'm capable of, one I don't understand. So, if someone in my clan must agree to an arranged marriage, it might as well be me. The bride being pulled down the aisle to me is beautiful, and terrified. But she's got a stubborn tilt to her jaw that's making me think she's not giving up so easily.

Then, three men came to my rescue, snatching me up from what could have been my last night on this earth and treating me like a princess.

I know I shouldn't want the girl next door. It's not fitting for a single dad or a fertility doctor of my reputation. Plus, I need a nanny… last minute. She's the only one who can help me out.

And I'm suddenly accidentally fake engaged!?! So I'll play her fiancé.

Where I come from, there's no forgiveness for a whistleblower, even if I saved countless lives. Unemployed with a wrecked reputation, my only option is a pity job as a leadership consultant for a secret, government-employed team of assassins. After moving clear across the country, I thought I'd feel safe from the ones who want revenge for my so-called valor, but then I met him. Linc. The ghost in the shadows, who will never be seen for the hero he is.

My teammates can't know how much she tempts me. Her brother certainly can't know the things I'm imagining doing to her. We'll both keep pretending we're just having fun, even when she winds up sharing my bed in secret. We both agree it's harmless. Just casual. But when her old life comes calling, will I keep pretending, or will I put it all on the line?

Make a good first impression, they say, especially when you're desperate for work. How about when you walk into the interview for executive assistant at the Colchester Mountain Resort, and you come face to face with the ridiculously gorgeous, infuriating brute you just accidentally knocked over on the slopes? I should have walked out the second he called me Blunder Bunny. I shouldn't have stared at his muscles underneath his impeccable suit. And I definitely should have run the moment he made me almost beg for the job.

Houston, this was not part of the plan. Not even a little tiny bit. He's not my fated mate, yet here I am, pregnant regardless. Leigh It's not supposed to be possible, but I guess when your BFF is some sort of unicorn wolf with special powers, things tend to get a bit wonky. But that's not...

I had no choice but to disappear that night. It ripped my frickin' heart out. Now I'm moving my headquarters to Boulder with one objective: Win Mandy back. Damn, this is going to be hard.
