It was supposed to be a harmless kiss at a lavish debutante ball. A clandestine moment with a handsome stranger. But unlike his namesake, my Romeo isn’t driven by love. He’s fueled by revenge. To him, I’m a chess piece. Leverage. His rival’s betrothed. To me, he is a man deserving of poison. A dark prince I refuse to marry. He thinks I’ll accept my fate. Well, I plan to rewrite it. And in my story, Juliet doesn’t die. But Romeo? He perishes.

I had a plan to escape the friend zone. Step one: sneak into Reed’s room. Step two: sleep with him. But when the lights turned on, it wasn’t familiar blue eyes I saw. These were dark, angry, and full of demons. And they belonged to Reed’s much-older brother. Four years later, Nash Prescott is no longer the help’s angry son. I’m no longer the town’s prized princess. At 22, I’m broke, in need of a job. At 32, he’s a billionaire, in need of revenge.

The task was simple. Sneak into Potomac's most heavily guarded manor. Steal back my pendant. Slip out. Problem number one? America’s most unattainable bachelor caught me. Problem number two? He decided to keep me. As the help. Zachary Sun’s winter may be the coldest I’ve ever felt, but he makes my skin burn. Reserved, calculated, and savagely cruel, he thrives on the weaknesses of others. Little does he know, he just met his match. He may be American royalty. But this peasant will rise to become queen.

I don’t usually trap women with amnesia into marriage. But I guess there’s a first time for everything. When the woman of my dreams falls into my lap, I can’t help but wonder what else she can do in that position. She’s here. In my house. At my mercy. And she thinks we’ve been lovers the entire decade we spent apart. Briar and I have always been unfinished business. Now it’s time to seal the deal.

I wasn’t supposed to be on that roof on Valentine’s Day. Neither was Kellan Marchetti, the school’s designated freak. We met on the verge of ending our lives. Somehow, the tattered strings of our tragedies tangled and tightened into an unlikely bond. We decided not to take the plunge and agreed to check on each other every Valentine’s Day until school ended. Same time. One roof. Two restless souls. We kept our promise for three years.

Not every love story begins in the light...Sometimes, the prince isn't charming. The damsel causes more distress than she's in. Sometimes, the danger doesn't come from a magic spell. It comes from each other. Welcome to dark romance.

I love my boss. I love a man some call a monster. I love a man more accustomed to cruelty than kindness. But we both have our duties.

Ten years ago, I crushed Damiano De Luca’s heart, vowing false promises I never delivered. The revenge? Didn’t happen. The destruction? As if I could. Betrayal? Not. A. Chance. We were 18 when I left, taking my secrets with me. Now at 28, there’s no trace of the jaded mafia prince with the protective streak. He’s crueler. Colder. More calculated than ever. And he’s glaring at me from a funeral pew, looking at me and my wedding ring like we should be the ones buried six feet under. The war is back on, but I’m not that teenage girl anymore. This time, there will be blood.

He was supposed to kill me. I had done the unthinkable. I called the cops on him, on his family, but he let me live. We became friends, and then...we fell in love. Lucy Ives is a foster kid, running from her turbulent past. On her first night in New York City, she accidentally calls the cops on the mafia. But when their fixer comes to kill her, he ends up sparing her life in exchange for a favor - be his fake fiancé or die.

Minka Reynolds has never been liked, but she doesn't care. Struggling to earn custody of her little sister, she is on a mission to gain the only things that will get her there - money, a home, and a stable career. Unfortunately, she has none of those three, but she's close. It's just within reach...until she meets Niccolaio Andretti, the former heir to the Andretti mafia family, and everything she thinks is right becomes wrong.

Damiano De Luca: a curse with no cure. Before he ruled the De Luca family, before he became the man everyone feared, before he scoured an empire in search of me, he chose me to ruin. I was innocent. An untainted princess. The heiress to the Vitali mafia throne. And I was in the wrong place at the wrong time when I met the wrong boy. My name is Renata Vitali...and this is not a love story.

We were best friends, then we were enemies. Loved. Protected. Cherished. There was a time when Ranieri Andretti made me feel those things. That was before his family came after mine. He was supposed to forget me. We went our separate ways. It should have stayed like that. But now he's back in my life, and he's my new boss. I want to hate him. He's my ex-best friend. My tormentor. The head of the Andretti family. But no matter how hard I try...I can't stay away.

Dieses Dornröschen ist aufgewacht ... in einem Albtraum! OLIVER: Normalerweise locke ich Frauen mit Amnesie nicht in eine Ehe. Aber ich nehme an, es gibt für alles ein erstes Mal. Wenn mir die Frau meiner Träume in den Schoß fällt, kann ich nicht anders, als mich zu fragen, was sie in dieser Position noch so alles tun kann. Sie ist hier. In meinem Haus. Meiner Gnade ausgeliefert. Und sie denkt, dass wir das ganze Jahrzehnt, das wir getrennt waren, ein Liebespaar waren. Briar und ich waren immer eine unerledigte Angelegenheit. Jetzt ist es an der Zeit, das Geschäft zu besiegeln.

Ein gebrochener Prince Charming trifft auf eine in Ungnade gefallene Cinderella in dieser unwiderstehlichen Billionaire Romance. Sie ist sein süßester Wunsch ... und sein dunkelstes Geheimnis! Farrow. Der Plan war simpel. Schleich dich rein. Schnapp dir den Anhänger. Hau ab. Problem Nummer eins? Amerikas eingefleischtester Junggeselle hat mich erwischt. Problem Nummer zwei?Er hat beschlossen, mich zu behalten. Als sein Dienstmädchen. Zach Sun strahlt eine ungeheure Kälte aus, trotzdem spüre ich in seiner Gegenwart flammende Hitze auf der Haut.

Ma première histoire d'amour a connu une fin tragique. Ma deuxième a commencé avec son frère. Je n'étais pas censée être sur ce toit le jour de la Saint-Valentin. Pas plus que Kellan Marchetti, le monstre désigné de l'école. Quand nous nous sommes rencontrés, nous étions sur le point de mettre fin à nos vies. D'une manière ou d'une autre, les fils en lambeaux de nos tragédies se sont emmêlés et resserrés pour former un lien improbable.

C’était censé être une étreinte inoffensive lors d’un somptueux bal des débutantes. Un baiser volé avec un bel inconnu. Mais contrairement à son homonyme, mon Roméo n'est pas mû par l’amour. C’est la vengeance qui l'anime. Pour lui, je suis un pion sur un échiquier. La fiancée de son rival. Pour moi, c’est un homme qui mérite le poison. Un prince ténébreux que je refuse d’épouser. Il pense que j’accepterai mon destin. Eh bien, j’ai l’intention de le réécrire.

Je n'ai pas l'habitude de piéger les femmes amnésiques dans le mariage. Mais je suppose qu'il y a une première fois pour tout. Elle est ici. Dans ma maison. À ma merci. J'épouse un monstre magnifique. Un escroc. Le célibataire le plus riche d'Amérique.

Es sollte ein harmloser Kuss auf einem rauschenden Debütantinnenball sein. Ein heimlicher Moment mit einem gut aussehenden Fremden. Doch im Gegensatz zu seinem Namensvetter wird mein Romeo nicht von der Liebe angetrieben, sondern von Rache. Für ihn bin ich eine Schachfigur. Ein Druckmittel. Die Verlobte seines Rivalen.

Elle est son désir le plus doux... et son secret le plus sombre. La tâche était simple : m'introduire dans le manoir étroitement gardé de Zachary Sun. Récupérer mon pendentif. M'éclipser. Problème n°1 : Le célibataire le plus inaccessible d'Amérique m'a attrapée. Problème n°2 : Il a décidé de me garder… et de m'embaucher. Zach Sun a beau être l'homme le plus froid que j'aie jamais connu, il me brûle la peau. Réservé, calculateur et sauvagement cruel, il se nourrit des faiblesses des autres. Mais il est loin de se douter qu'il vient de rencontrer son égal.

Ich hatte einen Plan, um der Freundschaftszone zu entkommen. Schritt eins: Schleiche dich in Reeds Zimmer. Schritt zwei: Schlafe mit ihm. Aber als das Licht anging, sah ich nicht die vertrauten blauen Augen. Diese waren dunkel, wütend und voller Dämonen. Und sie gehörten Reeds viel älterem Bruder.
