Resultados para "The Heroes" en Acción y aventura

When a lethal spy meets a gentle Viking scholar in the Scottish Highlands, sparks fly—and so do bullets. Samantha "Smack" McAvoy is very good at two things: eliminating threats and staying emotionally unavailable. Fresh off a mission gone wrong, she's supposed to be healing in a remote Scottish inn. Instead, she finds herself protecting Finn Colpher—a gorgeous, book-obsessed academic who quotes medieval poetry to his golden retriever and apologizes to furniture.

Er mag gefährlich sein, aber ich kann dem Drang nicht widerstehen, ihn Daddy zu nennen. Ein geheimer Fetisch, den ich noch nie ausgelebt habe, zieht mich in einen Underground-Club. Meine neue Freundin und Kollegin ist dort regelmäßiges Mitglied und überzeugt mich, ihm beizutreten. Ich habe nicht gewusst, dass der Ort von einer irischen Verbrecherbande verwaltet wird. Am schlimmsten ist: Der Anführer der Bande interessiert sich für mich. Irgendetwas verrät mir, dass er es nicht gewohnt ist, ein Nein als Antwort zu akzeptieren.

I told myself I'd never return. But my sister's life is on the line, and Eva Novak knows it. She drags me back into her world with an offer I can't afford to refuse. Forbidden fantasies are waiting in her eyes, in her hands, in the ways she claims me. And she seems to be changing. Softening. Blooming around the thorns. Every wicked promise she whispers leaves me craving the one thing I should fear the most… Belonging to her completely. But loving her doesn't just risk my heart. It risks my family. It risks my life.

When Aksel Bergstrom ordered me to undress and put myself on display for him the first time, his instruction was sent by text, and he merely observed as I blushed and begged and climaxed. But now this bearded brute is here in person, stripping me bare and spanking my ass red for the slightest hint of defiance before tying me down and using my helplessly bound body shamefully. Because the bastard ravaging me like a Viking of old isn't some mysterious stalker. He's one of the Sons of Odin. And I belong to them now.

I think I've made a terrible mistake… The auction was supposed to be simple—thirty days of my life for enough money to save my family. What did I get instead? Eva Novak. An arms dealer. A coldhearted criminal. The most dangerously beautiful woman I've ever seen. She steals me away to a castle that belongs to nightmares, where the villagers in the town below cross themselves when she passes by and whisper warnings about women she's made disappear. Eva's touch makes me forget I should fear her, but she doesn't just want my body.

She might be able to hide from the rest of the world, but she'll never escape me. I am unworthy to even look at her. The first time I did, it sent her running, but my little fox is always on the run. Besides, I tend to have that effect on everyone. The difference is, this time there will be nowhere she can hide that I won't find her. My little fox isn't just running; she's watching. I've piqued her curiosity. She may think she's hiding behind her computer screen, but I know she has eyes on me. I'll do everything in my power to make sure her attention stays there.

It's time for me to start pulling my weight in the Suarez clan—to prove I'm worth more than the plays I make on the field or the dirt I dig up on rival families. I want to make Wolfy proud. And to not get unalived by Simon. So I volunteered what I had to offer, knowing my infamous genes could be used for uniting two powerful clans in marriage. After all, I'm the only not gay one in my family, so that alone should entice the super-babes looking to get busy with baby-making. I mean, as long as they don't ask me to do math or anything.

This Fae prince is going to be the death of me. He's a spoiled party boy whose only skills are flirting and—well, you know. There's a reason his "special" piercings are infamous... Not that I care. I refuse to get involved with that arrogant bastard. Especially since the shadow monster he barely keeps contained will kill us both if given the chance. But when he's assigned to the most important mission of my career, I can't afford to walk away.

Aria Valienne spent her life under the iron rule of a vampire clan that sees mercy as weakness. Now hunted, wounded, and desperate for freedom, she flees into the wild—only to be found by a hardened mercenary with sharp eyes and an even sharper blade.

My brother gave his life to help me escape the pack. Now after being in hiding for the last few years, I'm seeing shifters outside of their normal territory, and they're getting closer to my little patch of wolf-free paradise. If they find out I'm still alive, they'll haul me back and mate me to some random wolf, keeping me as a breeding machine to perpetuate our species. Forced imprinting is supposed to be forbidden, but if I know my pack, that won't stop them from getting what they want.
