Monica James

My name is Peyton Lane, and I have no idea who I am. Six months ago, I woke from a coma with no recollection of anybody, anything. My family tells me that I'm a good woman, that I'm loved. It seems I've lived a full, rewarding life, but I would give all of it up in a heartbeat to remember who I was. My mind is a blank slate. Every moment in time wiped clean. But there is one thing I can remember, something I haven't dared to tell anyone about-a mysterious oak tree, a red ribbon, and a vision of drowning. I know the answers I seek lie buried at the bottom of a lake. And that's why I'm here in South Carolina. The memory I have is something I witnessed... So I wonder what it would feel like to remember...remember who I was, but more importantly...remember what I did.

The truth sets you free...but what happens when everything you believe in changes in the blink of an eye? All I ever wanted was for my fianc , Samuel Stone, to remember me. And now that he does...all I want is for him to forget. Through tragedy, I found myself and who I was destined to become. But more importantly, I found who I was destined to be with. With a single word, Saxon Stone changed my life forever. He taught me how to live again. But now that Samuel remembers and all secrets have been revealed, I'm left to wonder which life I'm meant to lead. Divided by my head and my heart, I'm torn between duty and desire. Samuel is my past while Saxon is my forever. The choice should be easy. But love never is....

My name is Lucy Tucker, and my life...it was perfect. I worked the dream job. I had the most incredible family and friends. My home, Whispering Willows, a ranch in Montana, was everything I could ever wish for. My adoring fianc , Samuel Stone, loved me unconditionally. I had everything a girl could ever want. But one fateful event shattered my perfect life. It's unimaginable how simple, ordinary words can change a person's life forever. For me those words were, "There's been an accident." I thought Sam was my forever, but that forever came to a close the day Saxon Stone, Sam's identical twin brother, came back. Saxon returned to Montana to help save Sam, however, the moment he entered my life, he turned my world upside down. But through chaos I somehow found clarity-clarity of who I was meant to be. As time progressed, as seasons changed, and as a fire began to burn, I soon realized that Saxon was there for another reason...he was there to help save me.

I am Valentina Ricci. But I wasn't born with a name. My mother, Sister Margarette, was a woman of God, but she soon forgot her vows when she was sent by her parish to provide spiritual guidance to death row inmate #39280. Many havesaid my mother and father's meeting wasn't fated in the stars, but rather, it was churned in the bowels of hell. Because nothing good would ever come from my mother falling in love with convicted and infamous serial killer Patrick O'Loughlin and having his daughter...me. The day he was executed was the day I was born. Again, another cruel twist of fate because I always felt like a part of his soul took over mine on that day. That can be the only explanation for why I do the despicable things that I do and like them...so very much. I am part monster, part saint. There is no salvation for a sinner like me. Saint Maria's orphanage was my home as a child. And it was nothing but hell until I met him... Lennon Shepherd. We found one another in the direst of circumstances, and I thought he was my forever. But forever came with an expiration date when he became the enemy. Our adoptive mother, Gianna Ricci, has trained us to be her weapons in a war we never wanted to be a part of. Now grown, Lennon and I are on opposite sides. The boy I've loved since I was ten years old is the man I have to kill because if I don't...he'll kill me. I am hunted. But I am also the hunter. This is war...

ust as this nightmare began, I once again find myself bound, destination unknown. However, this time, my kidnapper is the man who shattered my world beyond repair. Aleksei Popov-Russia's number one mobster, and the man I was sold to. His intentions for me are clear-submit, obey him, and call him master-but I won't surrender. I'm not like the other girls. Whether that's a blessing or curse, I've yet to decide. The problem is, my disobedience intrigues my captor all the more. When we arrive in Russia, the rules change. Saint, the man who was once a sinner, is my only salvation. What was forbidden now gives me hope that there is light in the darkness. He will risk everything to set me free. But behind these opulent walls, things aren't what they seem, and when the fine line between pleasure and pain begins to blur, only one thing matters-saving my soul. I will lie. Cheat. Steal. I was once an angel, but now...I'm a fallen saint, ready to inflict my own pain and burn this hellhole to the ground.

I was kidnapped on my honeymoon by three masked men. Blindfolded. Bound. Destination unknown. I was told to stay silent and abide by their rules. But they didn't realize I wasn't a victim...not anymore. The open sea was my backdrop for nine torturous days. During that time, glimmers of my fate were revealed by a man with the mysterious chartreuse-colored eyes. He should have scared me, but he didn't. He intrigued me. And I intrigued him. He punished me when I didn't listen, which was every single day. But beneath his cruelty, I sensed he was guarding a grave secret. I was sold. And in a game of poker, no less. My buyer? A Russian mobster who likes to collect pretty things. Now that I know the truth, I only have one choice. Sink or swim. And when one fateful night presents me the opportunity, I take it. I just never anticipated my actions would leave me shipwrecked with my kidnapper. He needs me alive. I want him dead. But as days turn into weeks, one thing becomes clear-I should hate him...but I don't. My name is Willow. His name is Saint. Ironic, isn't it? He bears a name that denotes nothing but holiness yet delivers nothing but hell. However, if this is hell on earth... God, save my soul.

Arrogant. Cocky. And oh, so hot. My one-night stand ticked all the boxes. He was there to help me get over my ex. And he did. Boy, did he help me-twice. There was only one teeny tiny problem...he was my boss. My hot, multi-orgasm giver, one-night stander is none other than my boss, Mr. Dylan Fox. In my defense, I didn't know he was my boss. But now that I do, he's acting like nothing happened. I don't know whether I should be relieved or smack him in that smug, gorgeous face. His alpha dog is probably high-fiving his d ck as he's the one in control. But if he thinks I'm going to roll over and play nice, he's got another thing coming. I, Baylee Young, take orders from no man. Mr. Fox is a total control freak. So it's time to bring some anarchy into his perfect world because two can play this game. And I don't like to lose. Game on...

All hope was lost until Zoey Hennessy walked back into my world, shaking it up beyond repair when she uttered two simple words. He's alive. She speaks of her brother, my Saint, the man who lost everything to set me free. I believed he was dead. I saw it with my own two eyes. But when Zoey proves he's alive and being held captive by a monster, I know what I have to do. It's time I saved him. The plan is dangerous, and there are no guarantees I will survive. But if this nightmare has taught me one thing, it's that I don't cower in fear. I am a woman hell-bent on getting back the man she loves, and nothing, no one will stand in my way. However, what I uncover can only be described as hell on earth. The darkness has finally won, and Saint is lost to me forever. Or so I thought. Aleksei Popov is anything but a hero, yet in this story-he's mine. Everything I believed in is about to be turned upside down, and with freedom within my grasp, I wonder how far I will go, and who I will sacrifice in order to set myself free.
