Remi Ocean is broken. With her oversized hoodies, orange hair, and that "go fuck yourself" smile, it's obvious. And I know why. It's my fault. It's our fault. If I could stay away from her, I would. I'd let that night go. Let her go. Let the charges and the dismissal and the justice she never got burn up into ash. But I can't. Someone needs me. And me? I need her. But the good girl is starting to go bad. I'm starting to lose my mind. She's not mine anymore, and I can't let that happen. Something bad happened to Remi. And I'm the one who fucking did it.

She walks into our temple like she doesn't know she's already been claimed. Talks like she’s still allowed to have a choice. But I see through all of it. The arrangement was simple: Her body for our silence. Her obedience for our protection. But nothing about the way she kneels feels simple anymore. The borrowed clothes. The desperate eyes. The scent she wears like a ghost she never stopped loving. Camille’s scent. My sister’s shadow.

I’ve been lied to, used, and played. The Order took something from me. My property. Vivienne. And now, she belongs to another man…Macoy Daniels.

My brother is bleeding. My stepsister is gone. The ones responsible called themselves family. By blood, and now by marriage. I want to destroy them for what they've done. Burn everything they have to the ground. But first I need to find her. Ryth. The pathetic little mouse that scurried into our lives and made a home. I can't forget her; can't get her out of my head. She unleashed something dangerous in me. Something that drove me to ruin her. And ruined myself in the process. She was once a game to me; she still is...only this time it's for keeps.

"My princess; My Ryth. Now we're cornered by those who run the Order. And we're at their mercy. Only one man can get us out. The man who knows the truth about this place; Her father. Deals are made to free us. Only she doesn't know everything. She soon will; She'll expect my brothers to be standing outside the gates...Waiting; But I don't think they will. I'll be there to pick up the pieces. I'll make sure she's safe. Our little mouse. Our princess. Our stepsister."

Trouble. I hit it with my car… Then I carried her home. Taking care of her wounds with my own dark depravity. Her scars tell a story, burns, cuts…some old…but there are some wounds that are fresh. So fresh they tell a dangerous, intriguing tale. One I’m captivated to learn. When she opened her eyes she didn’t recoil like the others. Instead, she told me her name.

As I watch them disappear inside that Hell, I call for war, forcing every powerful man and woman in the city to choose a side. Mine...or Halestrom Hale’s. Only when those I love return from that place, they bring back a look of horror. What Carven tell me sends me reeling. With our backs against the wall, an unexpected ally rears her head: Vivienne’s older sister Helene. She might be more than my way to king. But she might just give me back my family. Together, we destroy all we can. We came for vengeance...and we won’t stop.

She's one defiant, forbidden, pain in my ass. One I can't touch. One I can’t train. But Vivienne is mine. Body. Soul….

If you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you may struggle with mental compulsions—such as ritualistic counting or "emotional checking." You may even believe that these compulsions will reduce your anxiety or prevent something "bad" from happening. But the truth is that mental compulsions can be debilitating, and greatly impact your life, your career, and your relationships. This workbook offers evidenced-based skills drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness to help you reduce rumination, worry, and other mental traps, so you can live with more freedom and vitality.

he was a liar. A deceiver. A seductress. And now Helene King is a Daughter of the Order. Under the guise she was headed for the place where Halestrom Hale held our sister she is forced into a truck. Only that wasn’t where she was headed. A new breed of evil rose. One that told us exactly what Hell waited for her. With the cold, hard bite of steel at my head, my last hope lays in the only man who can help us now.

Get ready for the epic conclusion of The Blood Ties Series. There is no place to hide now. No dark corner of this city where those who stand behind The Order can disappear. They are exposed, hunted…but they aren’t vulnerable…not yet. Protected by the most savage of us all…they bribe and scheme. But no matter how loud their threats are, they know there’s no way out of this. Because we have something they’ll never have. A reason to fight…Three of them actually. Ryth. Vivienne. And Trouble. The woman my brothers and I have fallen for.

Skylar carries two burdens: the power to summon the kingdom’s deadliest weapon—the Gryphon—and the secret that she, Duke Anathemark and confidant to the Crown Prince, is actually a woman. Serving as the king’s lethal puppet, Skylar must hide her identity until her unborn brother can claim his birthright… or risk being exploited in far more degrading ways than as a weapon alone. But as she aches for the prince who believes she is nothing more than his trusted friend, her facade becomes an increasing burden to bear. When an enemy princess arrives to secure a royal alliance, the ...

The boy with stories and an imagination that could take us far, far away. In our castle he was the prince, and I the princess. For the first time in my life I was safe, happy. I was loved. But every fairy tale has a villain, ours would be no different. I just never expected the villain to be me.
