Monica does not abdicate. She will not resign herself to a man's will…even a man as strong as Jonathan. She's not weak or fragile, nor does she break at the first sign of trouble. Until she realizes she's falling in love with him, and that she’ll never be the same if she allows it. She breaks into a million sharp pieces and damages him in the process. But what can she do? Stay with him and untangle the mess of his life? Commit to his rules, his secrets, his troubles? No. She'll commit to a man, not a lie. She'll strip away everything between them, even if it ends them.

There are a few unbreakable rules in the game. Stay collected. Compartmentalize. Think your next move through. Never let your heart dictate your tactics. The heart is impulsive. The heart makes bad decisions. The heart doesn’t see the long game. The heart may have decided to get Adam back, but when the endgame comes, the heart’s going to be the one to break.

What kind of man would die to save his wife? The only thing that ever stood between me and madness was Greyson. And now, she's in trouble. She's falling into the hole that almost ended me.

I'm flying blind here…and every moment that passes brings me closer to losing her. She says I'm crossing the line, but she can draw a million lines around her, and I'll cross every single one to get to her, even if it destroys me.

Rachel knew exactly what turning thirty would be like. She had a plan, after all. First college, then a climb up the professional ladder. Love, marriage, children. All of it was on the schedule. The cheap Hollywood apartment wasn’t on the list. Neither was the string of heartbreaks. Or the effect her mother’s cancer had on her career. It’s hard to stay practical and on point when everything takes a left turn. Enter Sebastian, the nerd across the street. The boy she defended when he couldn’t defend himself.

Hollywood bad boy Brad Sinclair always gets his way, whether it's the role he wants or the bikini-clad model he has to have.

Cara DuMont isn't exactly thrilled when she gets assigned to be the nanny for the latest box-office king.

Enter Carter Kincaid, a bodyguard so crushingly sexy he takes her breath away. Carter's the best in the business, and Emily is - professionally speaking - off-limits. But when it comes to stirring his desires, she's making all the right moves.

Taylor Harden is a man on the edge. The edge of fame. The edge of untold wealth. The edge of utter humiliation. He built an unhackable system, and in front of everyone, it gets hacked. His reputation goes from king to goat in a split second. Boom. Like that. Some dude in Barrington, USA (AKA Nowhere) has locked down Taylor's code, and if he does not get it back, he is going to be wearing a monkey suit for the rest of his life. Except, this guy? This hacker from Nowhere? He is not a guy. Harper Watson is all woman. And she has a plan for Taylor, his code, and his body.

She really knows how to push a man. She finds the cracks and she goes right for them. She'll travel across the world just to break me apart, piece by piece, until every last secret is exposed and every weakness revealed. I swear to God, I love her so much I'll let her do it. I'll let her do anything. But when she hurts herself to protect me? That's a line in the sand.

I promised you a bed of rose petals. He grabbed my hand under the table, tightening his grip as if he were falling from a precipice and our connection was the only thing saving him from certain death. They were beautiful. You smell like apples. Roses were wrong. There was nothing soft about his tone, but his quiet words were for me alone. I want everything to be right for you. Caden, look at me. I caught his gaze and held it. He was confident. Arrogant. Sure he had a place in the world. And under that was the man who needed me to be that place.

Sarah’s the most valuable thing I have ever owned, and the only thing worth protecting. She knows about the evil in my past. She knows about the darkness in my heart.

I'm playing it cool, clean, and professional...until I meet Roman Bianchi. He's not an insecure nerd or an ego-hole like the other kings of Silicon Valley. He's charming and handsome. He's fun, funny, and smart. He's also in the office across the hall.

Antonio ist ein wunderschöner Killer. Er ist ein Wunderkind unter den Dieben und ein so gewalttätiger Mafiakiller, wie es ihn nie zuvor gegeben hat. Er ist im Begriff, den letzten Racheakt gegen die Männer, die seine Schwester verletzt haben, zu vollenden und seinen rechtmäßigen Platz an der Spitze der Mafia von Los Angeles einzunehmen...als sie auftaucht. Wie ein Raubtier, das seine Beute erblickt, wird seine ganze Aufmerksamkeit von Theresa Drazen vereinnahmt. Eine echte Dame.

Antonio ist ein Mörder. Er ist wunderschön und besitzergreifend; ein Meisterdieb und der knallhärteste Typ, den die Welt je gesehen hat. Theresa weiß das, aber es hält sie nicht davon ab, sich mit ihm einzulassen, und jetzt will sie ihn beschützen. Aber jedes Mal, wenn sie versucht, ihn zu beschützen, bringt sie ihn praktisch um, und je fester er sie umklammert, desto gefährlicher wird sie.

Theresa und Antonio. Sie sind durch die Hölle gegangen. Auf Antonio wurde ein Kopfgeld ausgesetzt, weil er einem Heiratsdeal den Rücken gekehrt hat und Theresa nicht die Absicht hat, ihn aufzugeben. Sie sind hingebungsvoll und stark, zu allem bereit.... Eine Liebe, die bis an ihre Grenzen getestet wurde. Doch dann taucht jemand aus Antonios Vergangenheit wieder auf. Jemand, der ihm alles geben kann, was er jemals wollte, und der sie bis ins Mark erschüttern kann.

Antonio is a killer. He's beautiful and educated, a prodigy of a thief, and as violent a badass as ever came off the boat from Napoli. Theresa knows it, but that doesn't stop her from getting emotionally and physically entangled with him, and this is how she got it in her head that she can protect him. But it's not her job to save him, and she's just not getting that. Every time she tries to protect him, she practically gets him killed, and the tighter he grips her, the more dangerous she becomes. It's almost as if protecting her the way he does is the one thing he should stop.

Theresa and Antonio. They've been through hell. Antonio has a price on his head for turning his back on a marriage deal, and Theresa has no intention of turning her back on him. They're devoted and strong, ready for anything.... And then someone from Antonio's past reappears. Someone who can give him everything he ever wanted and who can shake them to their very core.
