She’s smart, beautiful, and just my type. She’s also barely legal. The very definition of forbidden fruit. And I don’t just want a bite; I want to devour her. Now she is standing before me, her gorgeous eyes filled with tears. She’s in trouble....

HER: Me and my money-maker are only going to be young once. I give them three months to use my body however they see fit. Then they’ll pay me more cash than I could see in ten lifetimes.

She was mine for the taking. So I did. When I walked in on my beautiful new assistant changing outfits in my executive office's personal bathroom, I did what any ruthless billionaire in my place would have done. I kissed her. Punishingly....

The tangled vines of his mighty family tree are strangling me. There is no escape. I am locked away, captive to his twisted obsession and demands.

There is nothing more dangerous than a secret…. It is how the powerful survive. They spin their influence in the shadows as their sins corrupt the innocent. And I am one of them. The elite. The chosen....

Bellamy Carmichael was Darlington’s princess all through high school. I’d had a crush on her ever since arriving at Darlington Prep, only she never looked my way except for an occasional cruel putdown. But now, a decade later, the tables have turned....

Twenty Beautiful Lies stand before me. I can feel one’s hatred from across the ballroom. She loathes me and all that I stand for...that’s why she will be my choice, my belle of the ball....

I know how villains are made. I’ve watched their secrets rise from the ashes and emerge from the shadows. As part of a family tree with roots so twisted, I’m strangled by their vine. Imprisoned in a world of decadence and sin, I’ve seen Gods among men. And he is one of them.
