Elite Seven

I was born with wealth, athletic ability, and looks that could melt the panties off a nun. I had a clear path to success. Until fate dealt me a cruel blow, leaving me empty and in need of purpose. My only focus now is to become part of The Elite-a secret society in one of the most prestigious colleges in the world. But everything comes at a price, and with The Elite, you have to earn your place. Lucky for me, being sinful is in my DNA. The only obstacle to full initiation is my task: seduce the unseducible, the forbidden, and lure her with the sins of the flesh. Easy for a man like me . . . in theory. She started as my task, but what happens when the lines between lust and love blur, and the need for power rages war with the need for her? Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak-they're for The Elite. This is my life, my chance, my legacy. I am Rhett Masters. I am Lust. Contains mature themes.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. But who said the devil was a he? In my world, she was out to cause havoc on all our lives. She'll use the one thing I care most about to control me-force me into her Elite world, filled with sin, deceit, and power. And under her spell, I'll lead a sinister brotherhood of seven at one of the most prestigious universities in New Orleans. Seven tasks set forth by the devil herself, promising nothing less than the forbidden fruit of power. What they don't understand is it will all end in bloodshed and regret. They call me the alpha. The one in charge. The one with pride bigger than any task I could be given. And my pride won't let me be anywhere but at the top of the food chain until she gives me what I truly want. My task is Meghan Benedict. She's too pure for me to touch, too good for me to ruin-and the only thing standing in my way to freedom. Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak . . . they're for The Elite. As they say, pride comes before the fall. I am Mason Blackwell. I am Pride. Contains mature themes.

I'm a motherless son to a father who hates me. Fury has lived and breathed in my black heart for so long, it's a part of my soul now. The only thing that's ever mattered to me is protecting my twin sister, Sabella, from my father's temper. So when the chance to join a secret society presents itself, there's no question I'll do whatever it takes to become a member and earn my place in the ranks of only the most Elite. With a taste for the deviant, I'm drawn to the darkest of desires, and no one ever leaves my bed unscathed. My task: seduce Patience Noelle, St. Augustine's sweetheart and the mayor's beloved daughter-then break her heart. Sinning is what I live for, and deviance is my passion. Failing has never been an option. But what happens when my sin becomes my curse-when destroying the only woman I've ever wanted is my key to protecting my sister? Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak . . . they're for The Elite. This isn't just my chance, it's my legacy and reckoning. I am Samuel Gunner. I am Wrath. Contains mature themes.

It was temptation that broke the sinner. People say I have everything. They're wrong. I may have looks, money, and privilege, but I don't have the one thing that really matters, the one thing I crave: a woman with eyes only for me. I'm searching for my woman-one who will fall to her knees because I'm her king. She'll wear the crown of my tarnished name, and long for me when I'm not near. And when I am close, she'll be naked across my lap, feeling the sting of my palm across her milky skin. You could say I'm a sinner because I'd do anything to have the perfect woman-compliant to my every need and whim-and I'm envious of every couple who walks around naive to the luxury they have. That's why I joined The Elite, the most prestigious brotherhood in the south. It's the one place that will give me what I cannot have. Only . . . the task assigned to me is too much for my jealous eyes. Accept your sin wisely, for the tasks given to earn your place are not for the weak . . . they're for The Elite. Those who envy have no peace. My name is Sabastian Westbrook. I am Envy. Contains mature themes.

My life has been served to me on a gold platter to be devoured by my silver spoon. My father has made sure I become a part of The Elite Seven. Where most candidates are chosen, I was given my place. Everything comes at a price, though. Luckily, I can afford any price-no one has more money than God. The Elite Seven have their initiations. My task is personal and beneath me-steal a car and send a warning. It'll hurt my best friend in the process, but we both made a pact going into this. There's no line we won't cross. My task makes an ugly turn and I nearly take a life. Such a small, unimportant person. Someone no one would even notice if she were gone. She's a problem my money, and now power, can easily sweep under the rug. It's what my father wants. It's what my brothers in The Elite Seven want. Yet when she finally opens those big, innocent brown eyes, I realize I've found what I've been searching for my entire life. I don't want my little problem to disappear . . . I want to keep her. Money is my legacy, but I want something money can't buy. I am Baxter Samuel Goddard, V. I am Gluttony. Contains mature themes.

I don't give a fuck. Not about money or fame, beauty or power. I've had all those things since birth, and trust me, they're a fucking snooze. I don't give a fuck about anyone, not even myself. Until my father proves evil can exist in the most holy of places. For the first time ever, something like interest stirs in my soul. He wants me to enroll at St. Augustine. Join The Elite. Court the virginal daughter of Archbishop Savoie. Prove that I'm worth the family name? I'll do it all. And I'll do it so well, no one will know what's coming. People are so quick to underestimate the wicked and lazy. They forget idle hands are the best tools for the devil's work. I am Rush Dempsey. I am Sloth. Contains mature themes.

I'm hungry. My greed is insatiable. I'm a slave to the need. The drive for more. For everything. Once I decide I want something, the greed for it consumes me. I want answers. I want justice. I want vengeance. I want her. My best friend and his sister-the girl I vowed could trust in me and whom I would always protect-dropped off the map two years ago. My own father pledged assurances that they'd been living a life they deserved. Lies. Hell hath no fury like a man willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill his promise. I may be a greedy sonofab*, but I'm also a loyal one. Cross me or my brothers, and I'll come for your throat. And my teeth are razor sharp. When I discover the corruption running deep within my own bloodline, I take a stand to right the wrongs. I had no idea their darkness would lead me to the light-to her. The Lust I have for her will keep me grounded. The Wrath for those who betrayed us will ignite the fight inside me. And the Greed for victory will consume our enemies in a tidal wave of Hell's fury. They say the three gates of Hell are Lust, Wrath, and Greed. Well, open up, motherf*kers . . . Daddy's home. I am Micah Dixon. I am Greed. Contains mature themes.
