I sent an anonymous email to The Ghost—a hacker who destroys scumbags for fun—detailing my darkest fantasy. He replied. With a phone number. Now he's texting me, saying he can make it real. That he's watching me. That he knows exactly what I need. I should run. Instead, I'm saying yes. The question driving me insane: Who is he? The question that's going to ruin me: Do I really want to find out?

He’s not ready to be a father. How do I tell him I’m pregnant after overhearing him say that? I keep putting it off because he’s too distracted with the mafia, or it’s not the right time. I tell myself that I’ll tell him eventually, but the more time that passes, the harder it is to get the words out. But then it’s too late. I’ve been lying to him for weeks.

My family is trying to marry me off to a monster. A much older monster who’ll pay extra for my virginity. There’s no way I’m going through with this so I do the only thing I can think of. I turn to the enemy for help. Kieran Sullivan seems to hate me for some reason. So when his brother, Ronan, suggests a fake marriage between Kieran and I, I’m hesitant. But I have no other choice.

He’s the monster responsible for my father’s death. Soon, he’ll be my husband. Marrying Ronan Sullivan is the last thing I want, but it’s the only way my family’s name will survive. I go into this marriage with one goal: Making Ronan pay for what he did. Only I never expected to fall in love with him.

Falling in love with Ronan wasn’t part of the plan. Neither was falling pregnant with his baby. The worst part is he doesn’t even know yet. How do I tell him when I don’t know what he wants? One minute he’s into me, jealous, overprotective, the next minute he’s pushing me away. He’s so focused on his mafia. It’s one thing after another. I can’t shake the feeling that when it comes to Ronan, this baby and I will always come second.

Getting locked in an escape room with three sexy Alphas as Lila goes into heat wasn't on her new single life to-do list, but who is she to tell the universe no?

She's an Omega that's sick of denying her instincts. They're Alphas that want an Omega to cherish.

Each one pulls me deeper into his world… deeper into his bed… and deeper into a war burning beneath the ice. But something is ...
