A recluse. A Billionaire. That's who I am. I haven't wanted or needed anything in a long time, especially not a woman. That is until my eyes lock on a beautiful woman who shines brighter than a diamond, standing on a platform, waiting for men to bid on her for a date as part of a charity auction event. It's something I wanted no part of until my business partner forced my hand. Now the only goal I have is to take what I want and what I want is Nessa Taylor. I'll make sure none of the vultures circling her get a chance. She's mine even if I have to play dirty to have her.

A wife. Happily ever after. That was never in the cards for me, not with a past like mine. Everything changed when Millie entered my life. The no labels I demanded on our heated encounters became meaningless when she threatened to walk away. There's only one thing a man can do when he realizes the woman he loves is going to leave forever.

I always get what I want and what I want is Amelie. One month after leaving, my only thoughts were of the woman I left to protect. Thoughts of her consumed me night and day, pushing me to work harder and faster in order to have her back in my arms. The need to protect her from my own blood, a father who would ruin me and anyone that means anything to me in order to further his political career.

Raven was a dancer at one of the clubs the Diamondbacks own. As their VP when things started going sideways with our manager, I came in and Raven stepped up to the plate, helping us out. I took one look at her and I knew she was special. She may have deserved better than me, but I wasn’t about to let anyone else have her. When her past catches up with her, you better believe I’m going to shield and protect her with everything I am. Because when a Diamondback claims his old lady—it’s forever.

As president of the Diamondback Motorcycle Club, settling down never occurred to me. I have my club, and that’s all I needed. My mind changed with one look at the dark-haired beauty in need of help. Persephone Chapman should have been dead; the fact that she has the grit and determination to survive is exactly what I want in an old lady. It’s more than that, though. It’s the softness in her touch and the way she makes even a hardened man like me long for more. She deserves to be cherished, and I’m going to make sure no one hurts her again. In fact, I’m claiming her as mine.

Wylde “Wylder” Hayes is on a mission, one that doesn’t include falling for his sexy new employee. Wylder’s out to make his new hotel and casino the hottest spot on the Vegas strip. He’s going to make it a success, even if rubbing elbows with the local kingpins is involved. One glance at Celeste has him thinking more about claiming her than chasing after money. Her sweet-as-sin curves, soft smiles, and lips that promise heaven have Wylder ready to make their night together one that neither of them will forget.

Patrick "Trick" Kelly has one golden rule. Never mix business with pleasure. That rule gets thrown out the window when Wren Taylor walks through the door of his tattoo shop and into his heart. She's sassy, smokin' hot, and his complete opposite. Wren has plans, though. She wants to be a social worker, and she needs to concentrate on getting her degree. Not the hot-as-hell tattooed bad boy who owns Sin & Ink tattoo shop. Some things just won't be denied, however.

A whirlwind romance that I didn’t see coming when I booked my vacation. One stumble into Decker’s arms and we're inseparable. Two weeks away from my family and the drama that encompasses everything to do with The Harts. With a watchful father and four overprotective brothers, I need a break. That doesn’t stop me from falling head over heels for the so-called sworn enemy, but they’re wrong about Decker. He’s so much more, and I’m going to prove that to my overgrown brothers.

Marlie: Tanner is a tall glass of water on a hot summer day. Handsome doesn’t even touch the surface, and the way he gave me his rapt attention at my best friend's wedding—it was unbelievable, until it was too good to be true. Yet he never called, and no girl ever wants to be forgotten. Tanner: After too many days to count of blowing up everyone’s phone, I’d exhausted all efforts and was nowhere near close to finding Marlie’s real number. Yeah, I screwed that up, but I’ll do anything I can to make things right and make her mine.

Deke Hart is a complete and total jerk, so why am I going to a family function as his fake girlfriend? That’s easy to answer. I owe him after he helped me out of a jam. There’s only one problem. He’s easy on the eyes. When Deke isn’t talking, he’s doing amazing things to my body. I have a past. Don’t we all? Am I letting it rule my future? Sure. Do I have a chip on my back because of it? Yes. Am I using Kelsey in more ways than one? Absolutely. What I’m unprepared for is that I’m the one going after Kelsey, when all it seems she’s wanting is to keep things platonic.

Keller is more than what meets the eyes, a single father, completely devoted to his son, Jace. Who also happens to be a student in my classroom, my eyes were wide open when Keller and I started our quote-unquote relationship. Too bad my heart didn’t get the memo.

Montana: I called him, needing someone to pick me up from a night of one too many margaritas. Little did I know Asa would give me the ride of my life. The only problem is we have to keep our relationship a secret from his family, along with my best friend, his sister. Asa: I’m known for being the jokester, the one who’ll never get married, the one that says every inappropriate thing at the wrong time. That all changes when Montana takes a chance on me. The personality that I used as a smokescreen is gone, and in its wake is a man that wants his woman.

The Hart of Stone Family is a tight unit; family is everything to them. It's finding love that will be an added bonus to these workaholic, fun-loving siblings. In each story, you'll see how Tanner, Keller, Asa, Deke, and Leena find their happily ever after, even if there are a few bumps along the way.
