Thalia Lopez always follows the rules. Being a life-long good girl has its perks: she’s got a full scholarship to college and her choice of graduate programs, and she never has to worry about getting into trouble. It also means she’s a twenty-two-year-old virgin, but it’s not like that matters. Of course, the one time she steps out of line, she winds up locked in a bar bathroom. The men’s bathroom. With a total stranger.

Silas and I agree on one thing, and one thing only: my ruthless, heartless, narcissistic jerk of an ex-fiancé needs to be taken down a notch. So we do what anyone would do: we pretend to be a couple.

Delilah Radcliffe and Seth Loveless have been breaking each other’s hearts for ten years now. Ever since she moved away to get married—and then divorced, in near-record time—they’ve practically got it down to a science, every time she comes to visit. They decide not to sleep together. They do it anyway. They fool themselves into thinking that this time, it’ll work. It never does.

Daniel Loveless and Charlotte McManus—aka Charlie—have been best friends since forever. Together, they’ve made it through everything from middle school dances to Daniel finding out he had a daughter, and they’re still thick as thieves. Faking an engagement, though? That’s… a lot.

Eli Loveless and Violet Tulane never did learn to coexist peacefully. From the first day of kindergarten until high school graduation, they argued, fought, and competed over anything and everything. They only managed to stop when Eli left their small town, and Violet heaved a sigh of relief. Now he’s back, infuriating as ever, running the kitchen at the high-end wedding venue where Violet works, and competing with her for a life-changing bonus.

There are probably worse things than being stuck in a remote cabin with the rugged-yet-grumpy forest ranger who saved my life in a blizzard. Getting mauled by a bear, for example, though I might prefer that to eating breakfast with Gideon Bell, the guy who nearly ruined my life when we were kids. It was twenty years ago. We haven’t spoken since. Our families still hate each other, and our lives are completely different. I’m not sure we’ve got anything in common besides childhood memories.

Getting laid off and dumped on the same day will screw up anyone’s plans, so June’s taking a few months to recover at her parents’ house while she licks her wounds and finds another job. Of course, getting stranded and spending the night at her brother’s best friend’s house—in separate bedrooms, because Levi is nothing if not a gentleman—wasn’t in her plans either.

I was hired to protect her, not make her scream my name. From dodging bullets in Afghanistan to working for the Secret Service, I know danger pretty well. Or I thought I did. That was before my latest assignment came with a whole new kind of danger. Her name? Ruby. She's the gorgeous as hell, opinionated, spitfire daughter of Senator Burgess. Her family's beyond strict, but for a girl who's so innocent, she's anything but sweet.

Eine Auszeit – die ist dringend nötig nach den ganzen Hiobsbotschaften der vergangenen Tage. Seit wir auf einer weiteren Gala von Wikinger-Alpha Fynn Hansen waren, ist nicht nur Adrian aufgewühlter denn je. Was wir dort erfahren haben, könnte nämlich das Ende meiner Rudelzeit bedeuten.

Ethan - He’s going to pay for what he’s done to me. No matter what it takes, I'm going to find him, and I'm going to destroy him. Jo - I'm not even a person any more, I'm a number, a statistic. Why would anyone do something like that to me? I just want this to end. I want to be normal again. In the shadows of a broken life, what does it take to find love? This standalone novella explores themes of rape, murder, suicide, violence, revenge, and love.

He's a rugged, battle-hardened soldier who spent four years in the Royal Guard, an elite military unit. I met the king and queen for the first time wearing leggings and a sweatshirt. But there's the way he looks at me. Like he knows every dirty thought I've had about him - and he likes them. There's the way my pulse skyrockets every time his hand brushes mine. I'm the ambassador's daughter. I know better than to mess around with a foreign head of state.

Marisol locks me out of my own concert by accident. She's wearing a suit at a rock show, searching for her lost law school textbook, has no idea who I am, and for the first time in years, I'm hooked. She's smart, driven, and utterly gorgeous. The sort of girl who earnestly believes in following the rules and hates when others don't. I'm a huge rock star, recovering addict, and general f--kup. Our relationship is for show and that's all. But with every smile, every laugh, and every breathtaking glance at her curves, I want her more.

Nothing’s more exclusive than Noire Underground. Serving the wicked and reaping rewards. Secrets. Lies. Soot and cinders. Rhythm. Blades. Games and gore. A knife like a claw and the strike of a needle. This hidden haven is a throne of chains.

Keine Geheimnisse mehr. Das ist das Motto, das ich meinem Alpha einbläuen will. Ich bin es leid, ständig hingehalten und vertröstet zu werden – es ist an der Zeit für Antworten. Und die bekomme ich ... mehr, als mir lieb ist. Allerdings gibt es da noch ein großes Fragezeichen, was meinen Wolf betrifft, doch die Person, die etwas darüber weiß, ist wie vom Erdboden verschluckt. Und der Einzige, der vielleicht Licht ins Dunkle zu bringen vermag, ist ausgerechnet derjenige, der mir gefährlich werden könnte. Im doppelten Sinn, denn die Rede ist vom attraktivsten Wikinger der Welt: Fynn Hansen.

Dass ich mal als Lebensretterin bezeichnet werde, hätte ich auch nicht gedacht. Und doch bin ich nicht stolz darauf, denn es ist das, was jede Omega an meiner Stelle tun würde. Der Alpha braucht meine Hilfe und ich bin für ihn da. Gleichzeitig gerät das Rudel etwas außer Kontrolle ohne seine starke Führung – aber dadurch komme ich meinen Betas näher. Sowohl im übertragenen als auch im wörtlichen Sinn. Und ... da gibt es jemanden, der meine ganze Welt mit einem einzigen Drink über den Haufen werfen wird. Nur so viel: Bestellt euch nie einen ›Midnight Whisper‹!

Fighting wildfires is dangerous as hell, but it's still the best damn job in the world. And women? They practically line up to slide down my pole. I never did like repeating myself. Not since she broke my heart into a thousand pieces, anyway. Clementine's that ex. The one I haven't seen in eight years. The one I thought I was going to marry until she dumped my ass while I was on active duty in Afghanistan.

Was haben Amy Winehouse, Christian Grey und Picasso gemeinsam? Sie tauchen in meinem Leben auf. Wirklich. Na gut, nicht wirklich. Aber man könnte die zweite Hälfte meines ersten Omega-Tages und des Tages darauf tatsächlich in drei Etappen mit diesen Überschriften einteilen. Oh und nicht zu vergessen, der Titanic-Moment im High Line Park. Auf jeden Fall kommen die Geheimnisse meines Rudels so langsam ans Licht – ich bin aber auch mittlerweile eine hervorragende Rudel-Journalistin geworden.
