Gun Ranch Owner Berrill 'Bear' Clayton is an accomplished beauty encased in steel. Her toughness isn't an act, but it isn't 'all her' either. She distances herself from love and intimacy, clinging to the Alpha Girl persona she believes enables her to forget the times she was too weak to save the people she loved. For Pope Apostolou, meeting the fiercely independent Bear was a necessary soother for raw emotions stoked by the return of an old threat. Pope believes that threat now has Bear in its cross-hairs. It breaks his heart to discover she's quietly torturing herself for a horrific night 6 years earlier-one that left 10 men dead-slaughtered after a night of debauchery…and betrayal. In order to triumph over this new threat, Pope will need to show Bear that she can trust him. Unfortunately, Bear has learned to equate trust with surrender-something she refuses to give to any man. Pope would indeed want her surrender when her heart becomes the one thing he wants to conquer. Conquered is a standalone BWWM Suspense Thriller.

The opinions of others had never much mattered to LuCarolyn Young. Then she met Rutger Eliades. Rough, brooding and undeniable, captivation was a given emotion with arousal hot on its heels. Lu had a past, though-one that defined her-one Rutger already knew way too much about. Anything beyond one night of no-strings sex, was out of the question and she very much wanted more than one night.Rutger Eliades was absolutely not a man to be toyed with, underestimated or tolerant of a woman with a past like hers, or so LuCarolyn assumed. Especially when she had a past that was about to come crashing in with a vengeance.

Princess Holland knew what men saw when they looked at her. She knew they couldn't see what lay beneath the beauty they favored. Something had died inside her long before the night that changed her life forever.The rage and sinister creativity that once ruled Slayte Miltiades was favored by those who had created him. That favor set him apart from the men he loved like brothers and connected him with the monsters he came to loathe. Those monsters moved among cultured circles, gained admittance to inner sanctums until they could strike quietly-savagely.Slayte was no longer part of that depraved world, but one never truly walked away. One never truly escaped the ghosts. Slayte embraced his ghosts just enough to keep them appeased. Then Prin Holland came into his world, and the ghosts were no longer meant to be embraced but destroyed.

"Nica...look, I don't want to treat you like that, alright? Like a one-night stand. What right do I have to upset your world that way?""Gib," exasperation hugged her voice and she found his honor as wonderful as she did infuriating. "Why does it matter if we both want it?" A warning bell tripped in the back of her mind and signaled that her boldness could come back to haunt her. She'd fret over that later. She'd had about all she could stand of relying on herself to douse flames of sexual need that arrived to torment her at the most inopportune moments. This night there was the promise of more and she wanted it.Gib's dark and devastating face still reflected traces of uncertainty when he leaned close to Nica. Propping her chin on his fist, he used his thumb to outline the shape of her mouth."I don't want to hurt you-" his words silenced when she moved suddenly.Nica had pushed the comforter down to her waist. "Do I look so fragile to you, Sheriff?"Gib lost the clear-headedness not to mention the will to voice any further arguments. His desire for her back built to a scorching ferocity. In moments, he was subjecting her to a crushing kiss.Nica couldn't decide whether she wanted to moan or gasp. His kiss stole her breath, leaving her with little ability to do either. He took her mouth with a potency that seemed capable of snapping her neck, but she had no cause to fear that happening.Gib kept one hand at Nica's nape, effectively supporting her there. Vaguely, Nica mused that he could encircle her entire neck in his palm, it was just that expansive. His strength wooed her like some aphrodisiac and she wanted all he intended to give her. She took pride in meeting his force in equal measure. In no mood to wait, she inched closer until she was nearly straddling his lap.Gib closed their remaining distance. Hands smothering her hips, he settled Nica to his lap with very little effort.The move sent a shiver along her spine. At a height of 6 feet, she didn't often meet a man who could make her feel dainty. Perhaps, she was betraying herself to admit she enjoyed the sensation. She didn't care. Her chances of meeting another man like Gib Taylor were slim. His appeal went far beyond his very pretty face and formidable body and she planned to indulge every fantasy she could think of.****************Bonded...The bonds of parenthood take shape as Rutger and LuCarolyn become parents with Slayte and Prin to follow.
