Tiernan de Haas doesn't care about anything anymore. The only child of a film producer and his starlet wife, she's grown up with wealth and privilege but not love or guidance. And when her parents suddenly pass away, she knows she should be devastated. But she's always been alone, hasn't she?

Jake Van der Berg, her father's stepbrother and her only living relative, assumes guardianship of Tiernan. Sent to live in the mountains of Colorado with Jake and his two sons, Noah and Kaleb, Tiernan quickly learns that these men now have a say in what she chooses to care and not care about anymore.

As the men take Tiernan under their wing, she slowly finds her place among them.

Because lines blur and rules become easy to break when no one else is watching.

One of them has her. The other one wants her. But he's going to keep her.

On the other side of town, in the dark glades, under the rain...

Macon is the oldest. Thirty-one. Ex-Marine. I don't think I've ever seen him smile.

Army is twenty-eight. A single dad with the most beautiful green eyes. He has no idea who he is, if not a Jaeger brother.

Iron will be in prison soon. You'd never think it to meet him. He's a nice guy, actually. But he can't stop reacting to everything.

Dallas is the one I hate. Twenty-one, cruel, and selfish. He takes and then throws away whatever's left.

And Trace is mine. Or he was for about two seconds. No one can tame him for long.

Not that I ever wanted to. It was fun, but now I need to go home. Back to my side of the tracks. Away from the swamps and these men. To my parents' big house. On my clean street. Where I'm never dirty or messy or hot. And I will. I'll leave first thing tomorrow morning. I just want to crash on the couch tonight.

Their house is dark and quiet, everyone else is asleep. Except for one. He sees me crying and comes at me from behind. I let him wrap his arms around my body and hold me tightly. His breath is on my neck, his fingers are in my hair, and he doesn't stop there.

I don't think it was Trace.

Jordan has nowhere else to go when her boyfriend offers to let her move in with him and his dad. Working a dead-end job, with her relationship sputtering, she jumps at the opportunity, expecting to help out around the house in exchange. What she doesn't anticipate is for her heart to race every time Pike pulls into the driveway, or to burn when their eyes meet over the breakfast table. He's kind and listens to her and protects her in a way no man ever has before. Her sister once told her there are no good men, and if you find one, he's probably unavailable. Only Pike isn't the unavailable one...she is.

As the days go by, Pike's finding it anything but simple to have his son's girlfriend living in his house. He can't stop thinking about her and holding his breath every time they cross paths. It feels like she's becoming a part of him. Except he knows they're not free to give in to this. How could they when he's her boyfriend's father?

They call it Blackchurch. A secluded mansion in a remote, undisclosed location where the wealthy and powerful send their misbehaving sons to cool off away from prying eyes.

Will Grayson has always been reckless, wild, and never been bound by a single rule other than to do exactly what he wanted. He learned long ago that being treated like an animal gives you permission to act like one. Back in high school, he might've enjoyed backing Emory into corners when no one was looking, but he could also be warm. And fierce in keeping her safe.

But the truth is, he has a right to hate her. Because it's all her fault. Everything. Devil's Night. The videos. The arrests. She's to blame--and yet she regrets nothing.

He never expected one of his enemies to come straight to him. But now he knows she's here somewhere. And as the security detail leaves and the door to the gilded cage opens, giving Will free reign of the house and grounds for another unsupervised month, he remembers with a smile...

Blackchurch houses five prisoners. And he's only one of her problems.

Erika Fane's boyfriend's older brother is handsome, strong, and completely terrifying. The star of his college's basketball team gone pro, he's more concerned with the dirt on his shoe than he is with her. But she saw him. She heard him. The things that he did, and the deeds that he hid...

For years, Erika bit her nails, unable to look away. Now, she's in college, but she hasn't stopped watching him. He's bad and the things she's seen aren't content to stay in her head anymore.

Because he's finally noticed her.

But Michael Crist knows the hold he has on Rika, how much she fears him. She looks down when he enters the room and stills when he's close. He knows she thinks only of him. When Michael's brother leaves for the military, leaving Rika alone and unprotected, he knows the opportunity is too good to be true.

Three years ago she put Michael's friends in prison, and now they're free.

Every last one of her nightmares is about to come true.

Sending Damon to prison was the worst thing Winter could've done. It didn't matter that he did the crime or that she wished he was dead. Winter thought he'd cool off in jail and be anything but the horror he was, or that at the very least she'd have time to disappear before he got out.

But she was wrong. Three years came and went too fast, and prison only gave him time to plan. And while Winter anticipated his vengeance, she didn't expect this. He doesn't want to make her hurt. He wants to make everything hurt.

Damon knows he needs to get rid of Winter's father, giving her, her sister, and her mother nowhere to run. The Ashby women are desperate for a knight in shining armor. But that's not what's coming.

It's time Damon took control of his future. It's time he showed them all that he will never stop being the nightmare they think he is.

Damon won't have to break into her home to do it.

As the new man of the house, he has all the keys.

Marymount girls are good girls. Even if they weren't, no one would know, because girls like Clay Collins keep their mouths shut.

Not that Clay has anything to share, anyway. Always in control, she owns the hallways, walking tall on Monday and then dropping to her knees like the good Catholic girl she is on Sunday. What she wants she has to hide.

Liv Jaeger crosses the tracks every day for one reason: to graduate from high school and get into the Ivy League. But Clay--with her beautiful skin, clean shoes, and rich parents--torments her daily and thinks Liv won't fight back.

At least not until Liv gets Clay alone and finds out she's hiding so much more than just what's underneath those pretty clothes.

Liv told Clay to stay on her side of town. But one night, Clay doesn't listen. And once Liv is done with her, she'll never be a good girl again.

They were perfect together. Until they met.

In fifth grade, Misha's teacher set him and his classmates up with pen pals from a different school. For the next seven years, Ryen was his everything. She kept Misha on track and accepted him as he is. They only had three rules: No social media, no phone numbers, no pictures. There was no reason to ruin the good thing they had going...until Misha runs across a photo of a girl online named Ryen. He knows he has to meet her. But he didn't expect to hate what he finds.

Ryen has gone three months without a letter from Misha. Did he die? Get arrested? Knowing Misha like she does, neither would be a stretch. She needs to know someone is listening to her. But really, Ryen knows this is her own fault. She should've gotten his phone number, or picture, or something.

As a mysterious vandal leaves messages in Ryen's school, she's possessed by the handsome new student who knows just how to hurt and heal her. But she can't stop thinking of Misha. He could be gone forever. Or right under her nose, and she wouldn't even know it...

Buried in the shadows of the city, there's an abandoned hotel called The Pope, surrounded by a mystery about the hidden twelfth floor and the guest who never checked out. Banks knows the local legend, but Kai Mori believes the myth around the hotel. He and his friends think they know her, think they can scare her, but Banks knows something they don't. Even though she struggles to hide everything she feels when Kai looks at her, the person he seeks is much closer than he'll ever realize.

She'll never reveal her secret. This Devil's Night, Kai will be the hunted one.

But Banks doesn't know what Kai had to turn into to survive three years in prison. He wants the hotel, its guest, and his life back. But the more he's around Banks, the more Kai realizes this new version of himself is exactly who he was meant to be.

Kai's seen her hideaway. It's time for Banks to see his.

My name is Tate. He doesn't call me that, though. He would never refer to me by a friendly nickname. No, he'll barely even speak to me. But he still won't leave me alone.

We were best friends once. Then Jared turned on me and made it his mission to ruin my life. I was humiliated, shut out, and gossiped about all through high school. His pranks and rumors got worse as time wore on, and I made myself sick trying to stay out of his way. I even went away for a year just to avoid him.

But I'm done hiding from him now, and there's no way I'll allow him to ruin another year. Jared might not have changed, but I have. It's time to fight back....

He's the guy she's supposed to avoid. She's the girl he won't let get away....

K. C. Carter has always followed the rules--until this year, when a mistake leaves her the talk of her college campus and her carefully arranged life comes crashing to a halt. Now she's stuck in her small hometown for the summer to complete her court-ordered community service, and to make matters worse, trouble is living right next door.

Jaxon Trent is the worst kind of temptation and exactly what K.C. was supposed to stay away from in high school. But he never forgot her. She was the one girl who wouldn't give him the time of day and the only one to ever say no. Fate has brought K.C. back into his life--except what he thought was a great twist of luck turns out to be too close for comfort. As they grow closer, he discovers that convincing K.C. to get out from her mother's shadow is hard, but revealing the darkest parts of his soul is nearly impossible....

Have you ever been so angry that hitting things felt good? Or numb to all emotions? The past few years have been like that for me. Traveling between fury and indifference with no stops in between. Some people hate me for it, while others are scared of me. But none of them can hurt me, because I don't care about anything or anyone.

Except Tatum.

I love her so much that I hate her. I hate that I can't let her go. We used to be friends, but I found out that I couldn't trust her--or anyone else. So I hurt her. I pushed her away. But I still need her. She centers me. Engaging her, challenging her, pushing her--it's the one last part of me that feels anything anymore.

But then she went and screwed everything up. She left for a year and came back a different girl. Now, when I push, she pushes back...and I'm not sure either one of us will ever be the same.

Two estranged teenagers play games that push the boundaries between love and war....

For the two years she was away at boarding school, Madoc had no word from Fallon. Back when they lived in the same house, she used to cut him down during the day and then leave her door open for him at night. Now he's ready to beat her at her own game....

Fallon can tell that Madoc still wants her, even if he acts like he's better than her. But she won't be scared away. Or pushed down. She'll call his bluff and fight back. That's what he wants right?

As long as she keeps her guard up, he'll never know how much he affects her....

Former tennis player Easton Bradbury is trying to be the best teacher she can be, trying to reach her bored students, trying to forget her past. What brought her to this stage in her life isn't important. She can't let it be. But now one parent-teacher meeting may be her undoing....

Meeting Tyler Marek for the first time makes it easy for Easton to see why his son is having trouble in school. The man knows how to manage businesses and wealth, not a living, breathing teenage boy. Or a young teacher, for that matter, though he tries to. And yet...there is something about him that draws Easton in--a hint of vulnerability, a flash of attraction, a spark that might burn.

Wanting him is taboo. Needing him is undeniable. And his long-awaited touch will weaken Easton's resolve--and reveal what should stay hidden....

AFLAME

All through high school, Jared Trent called the shots. He decided if Tatum Brandt would be happy or sad, fearful or free. He owned her heart, and he played with it like one of his cars. Never again.

Two years ago, Jared left town, and Tate's life is exactly where she wants it to be. Or that's what she tells herself...

Because two years ago, her heart also stopped beating, and no matter the success in school or the support of her friends, there's only one time every week she can feel that same rush in her blood: Friday nights on the track.

That's hers, not his, and to hell with anyone that gets in her way again. Especially him.

NEXT TO NEVER

Under the close watch of the men in her family, Quinn Caruthers has found it nearly impossible to spread her wings--or even date--without her three older brothers, Jared, Madoc, and Jaxon, jumping in to hover. And when a family friend--several years older--from her childhood still holds her heart, she knows they're going to be a problem. Lucas Morrow is a man, and knowing her brothers, he may as well be forbidden.

But Lucas left town and shows no signs of returning. Quinn knows she shouldn't wait for him anymore....

Until a package turns up on her doorstep with no return address and its contents reveal family secrets that threaten to turn her world upside down. She's never asked about the path of her parents' romantic history, but she soon learns their happy marriage had a very rocky and passionate start.

As she starts to see things around her with new eyes, Quinn will have to make tough choices about whether she'll keep waiting...or finally go after what she really wants.

Kade and Hunter Caruthers.

Brothers. Twins.

My cousins.

In a way, they're my family. Protective. Indulgent. My best friends. But there was something else there, too. That ever-present whisper that reminded me more as I got older that we didn't actually share any blood.

They used to be inseparable. We all were, but not anymore. I don't know why Hunter left or why he joined a rival team in Weston-that Rebel town across the river-to stand on the opposite side of the field from his brother, but Kade is out for blood now and Hunter has finally decided to engage.

Rivalry Week.

Parades. Parties. Pranks.

And the Prisoner Exchange.

Weston will send a hostage to our school, and they're taking me. I'm Hunter's for two weeks. In a dilapidated brownstone on a nearly abandoned street with almost no supervision.

Ten days in an enemy school. Fourteen nights in a town full of bullies with no curfews and no rules.

And Hunter has no intention of protecting his little cousin anymore.

The Pirates will come for me. How can they not? A Pirate never sits out on the fun.

But I never needed protection or rescue, because a Pirate never runs, either.

JORDAN:

Él me recibió cuando no tenía a donde ir.No me utiliza ni me hiere ni me ignora.No me trata como si no le importara ni cree que no me perderá, nunca me menosprecia. Piensa en mí, ríe conmigo. También me escucha, me protege y me mira de verdad. Puedo sentir sus ojos sobre mí durante el desayuno y mi corazón se acelera cuando oigo su coche llegar a casa después del trabajo.

Tengo que parar esto, no puede pasar.

Mi hermana me dijo una vez que los hombres buenos no existen. Que si encuentras uno, seguro que no estará disponible. Pero no es Pike Lawson el que tiene pareja. Soy yo.

La recibí porque pensé que estaba ayudando.

Ella solo tenía que cocinar algo y limpiar un poco. Era un acuerdo simple. Los días pasan, y esto se convierte en muchas cosas. Pero ninguna de ellas es simple. Tengo que dejar de pensar en ella, tengo que dejar de contener la respiración cuando me la cruzo por la casa. No puedo tocarla, ni siquiera puedo desearlo...Y cuanto más me cruzo con ella, más siento que forma parte de mí.

Pero no podemos hacer esto.

Ella tiene diecinueve, yo treinta y ocho. Y soy el padre de su novio. Por desgracia, los dos se mudaron a mi casa.

WINTER

Enviarlo a prisión fue lo peor que pude haber hecho. No importaba que él cometiera el crimen o que yo deseara que estuviera muerto. Quizás pensé que tendría tiempo de desaparecer antes de que él saliera o que se calmaría en la cárcel. Pero estaba equivocada. Tres años pasaron demasiado rápido y la prisión sólo le dio tiempo para planificar.

Y aunque anticipé su venganza, no esperaba esto.

DAMON

Primero lo primero: Deshacerme de su padre. Él dijo que la obligué. Dijo que su hija era una víctima, pero yo también era joven y ella lo deseaba tanto como yo.

Segundo: No darle a ella, a su hermana o a su madre un lugar al que huir. Las mujeres Ashby ahora están solas y desesperadas por conseguir un caballero de brillante armadura. Pero no van a tener esa suerte.

Es hora de que tome el control de mi futuro y que todos sepan que no tengo otra ambición que ser la pesadilla de sus vidas. Empezando por Winter.

WINTER

Sending him to prison was the worst thing I could have done. It didn't matter that he committed the crime or that I wished he were dead.

First things first: Get rid of her father. He said I forced her. He said his daughter was a victim, but I was a kid too and she wanted it as much as I did.

Second: Not giving her, her sister, or her mother a place to flee. The Ashby women are now alone and desperate to find a knight in shining armor. But they won't be so lucky.

Entre las sombras de la ciudad, hay un hotel llamado Pope. Está abandonado y lo rodea un misterio olvidado. Pero, Kai, tú crees en la historia del duodécimo piso oculto, verdad? Se dice que hubo un huésped que nunca se registró, pero tampoco se marchó de allí. Y crees que puedo llevarte hasta ese escondite, no es así?

Tú y tus amigos podéis intentar asustarme o manipularme. Y aunque luche por ocultar todo lo que siento cuando me miras, nunca le traicionaré.

Así que siéntate a esperar.

Quiero encontrar ese hotel y quiero que todo esto termine. Quiero mi vida de vuelta. Pero cuanto más cerca estoy de ti, más me doy cuenta de que este nuevo yo es quien debo ser.

Así que vamos, pequeña. No te acobardes. Mi casa está en la colina. Puedes entrar por donde quieras, pero buena suerte encontrando una salida.
