Alaska
I lie to one of the city’s most ruthless men.
And it feels so good.
Deception is a drug, and I’m quickly becoming an addict.
Each time we speak, Zuko has no idea it’s me.
The lie tastes sweet leaving my mouth.
I couldn’t stop now, even if I wanted to—which I don’t.
He thinks our conversations are more than just sex. He’s wrong.
The intimacy he feels is all a facade.
Until the day an embodiment of my darkest fantasies walks into my bar, and his unmistakable voice sends a shiver down my spine.
It turns out I’m not the one in control.
But when he calls tonight, and he will, I’ll be ready…
… with a lie.

Zuko
My job is to hunt. Dispose of problems like they never existed. And I’m incredibly good at my job.
It’s brutal and violent. But, then again, so I am.
I crave destruction. Death is merely a consequence of my dark pursuits.
And I won’t lose a wink of sleep over it, either.
Nothing bothers me.
No one affects me.
Except the vixen with the lilac hair.
When I reveal my true self to her, she laughs it off, enticed by the game we play.
She’s keeping secrets.
And I know all about prying information out of people.
She won’t like my methods.
But I’ll keep playing her little game until I decide what to do about her.
I can’t tell if she is destined to be my wife…
… or my next victim.

What makes us go back to our fears and dark desires, again and again, unable to escape?

I thought it was all over. That I was back in the human world, for good this time. Back in my apartment, with my friends, my job, my life.

But the heart works in mysterious ways and it won’t let me rest. When I find out that the Lost Boys might still be alive, I jump at the chance to go back to the island and save them.

Losing them would be unbearable, even though I ran away from them once before.

Only problem is, saving them means I’ll have to face my greatest fear, plunge into the unknown and accept what I did and who I am.

Can I do it?

Will it work?

And even if I manage… where do we go from there? Will love prove strong enough to save us all?

“You look good on your knees,” he tells me nonchalantly as he steps back and takes me in fully. I shift to my feet, standing to my full height before he gets any other ideas. “The next time I find you wandering around where you shouldn’t be, I will make sure you regret every moment of your spying.”

Blurb:

Leave humanity at the door.

Only godless heathens survive here.

 

— Saint —

Chryseum Reformatory Academy aka the Asylum.

This is where the rich send their f*cked-up sons and daughters, delivering them to a prison in the Catskills of New York.

The Asylum doesn’t cure. It camouflages, protecting old money from apples rotting on the family tree.

They call me a psychopath, a lunatic, unhinged.

But here, I am God.

Now, say your prayers at the door, pet, because this is my senior year, my school, my world.

Even God doesn’t step foot here.

 

— Willow —

I didn’t want to kill myself, not really.

I wanted help.

I wanted someone—anyone—to listen.

But I’m just a flesh-and-bone cry for attention.

Now, my father’s shipped me here, where evil and old secrets seep through the cold, stone walls.

An inky-haired guy with a devilish smile offers me protection, but his price is high.

Wear his collar.

Be his pet.

Give myself to him, body and soul.

 

**Author’s Note: Bloody Savage God is a 400+ page, dark academia gothic romance recommended for those 18+. It features mature themes including, but not limited to, an incendiary heat level, bullying, branding, collaring, and, like my other novels, struggles with mental illness.

Please read the content/trigger warnings carefully before reading, available either through the Look-Inside feature or on my website. **

Title: Her Devil
Series: Pendleton Prep Book 1
Author: H.L. Packer
Genre: Romantic Suspense, Dark Romance, New Adult Romance
Tropes: Secret Society, Academy Romance
Release Date: May 24, 2023
 

“What a Book!!! So many questions still to answer and I CAN’T wait for more.” ★★★★★ LoverOfBooks80


“Every turn of the page had me asking , “ what’s going to happen next “. Such a great read.” ★★★★★ Angela


I should have known that this was coming…
I’d done the right things, chosen the right friends, kept my grades up, primped and primed and smiled when I was supposed to, and then I escaped the clutches of the man they’d chosen for me. What. An. Idiot.
Or not, I suppose.
If I spend the year at Pendleton Prep, I can go back on my merry way. The problem is that life here is not exactly what I expected.
I’m not just another student, here to serve her time and get out. Oh no, that would never do. I’ve been wrapped up and served on a platter for the Devils of Pendleton Prep.
They’re hot, stupidly hot, and involved in something I want nothing to do with.
More than one of them has her set in their sights, but she’s already entangled in the world of the elite, they just don’t realise it yet. Where nine begin, only three will end… how far will they go to secure their place?


H.L Packer is, quite frankly, a busy bee.
An avid reader as a child, her love for all things written waned into adulthood, the excitement of real life things taking over. But when her life slowed down as she finished her office job for maternity leave, her husband purchased her an e-reader, and that obsession was rekindled.
Quickly she went from reader to reviewer, and then from reviewer to blogger; street teams and promo tours galore. When she began collating her own book boxes over at Romance Readers Book Box UK and had the opportunity to include her own words and worlds, the characters began talking.
Those cheeky characters quickly found themselves written down on the page, and her first series was in progress.
When she is not coordinating her worlds, you can find her running around after her free-spirited three children, and husband, or tending to the dogs, bearded dragons, and snakes that also reside with them.
A break can be found soaking in a bubble bath or enjoying a glass of wine, often still with a book in her hand.

Brutal Never Boys, #2

By Mona Black

A Dark RH Romance Peter Pan retelling

Amazon | Apple | Kobo | Nook 

 

 

 



 

 



 

After escaping Neverland and its mad lords, who in their right mind would ever wish to go back?

My memories from the island torment me. I am worried about Peter, Jas, and the other Lost Boys, no matter how badly I want to deny it. Coming back to my own world hasn’t given me the relief I’d expected.

I miss them.

I miss what we did together.

I miss being with these men who understand me, understand what I need and give it to me, no questions asked, no regrets, no shame.

Leaving them, I was aware I might be signing their death warrant, but I was selfish. I thought I was happy in the human world.

But the truth is, I don’t think I am. The only place I’ve ever felt safe and content and right in my own skin was with them, on the island. In Neverland.

So when Peter Pan appears below my window, I jump at the chance to go back.

Call me crazy.

I must be.

Will things be like before? Will I be able to help them? Will I face my fears? What about my feelings for them?

And their feelings for me?

Series: City of Sin Trilogy
Author: Delaney Foster
Genre: Dark Romance

 
 
 

 
fate
/fāt/
what is meant to be, will be.
a cord that can not be unraveled.
 
Makenna Taylor and Reid Landry are high school sweethearts. He was her first. Her only. They had life all planned out. Right down to the white picket fence and 2.5 kids. Then Reid joined the Marines, and from that day forward, life as Makenna knew it would never be the same.
 
She thought she was a simple girl with a part time job waiting tables while she worked her way through college. She thought she had the fairytale. She thought Callisto Suppato was just another man.
 
She was wrong.
 
Soon, she would learn that every family has secrets. Every stranger has a dark side. And love isn’t just a simple four-letter word. The curtain is pulled back, and Makenna’s world begins to unravel, thread by thread, to reveal something darker. Something she’d only heard about in the whispers of her grandmother’s living room. A world many know about but simply refuse to see.
 
This is not an MFM story. It is not a love triangle and there is NO CHEATING. This is the story of three people’s lives intertwined in the threads of fate and the timeless question that always remains unanswered: What if?
 
Author’s note: While the trilogy itself is darker, this book is more in the gray. Check content warning. The trilogy does end with an HEA but this book does not. You were warned.
 
 
He’s not the Prince Charming in my fairytale.

He’s the big, bad wolf.
Fierce.
Brutal.
Seductive, like the snake in the garden.
His secrets will destroy me.
If I don’t destroy myself first.

* * * * *

The angel wants to know what it’s like to dance with the devil, and I’m about to show her the way.
I don’t deserve her.
But I crave her.
I’ll devour her.
I’ll fight for her.
I’ll own her.
And when my enemies come after her, I’ll protect her.
Even if it’s the last thing I ever do.

*Where Souls Collide is book two in a trilogy. It is not a standalone. All books should be read in order.*

 


I am death.
She is life.


I am war.
She is peace.


I am disaster.
She is beauty.


She is my salvation.
I am her destruction.


Where Demons Hide is book three in the City of Sin trilogy. This is not a standalone. All books should be read in order.
*Check content warning.

Delaney Foster is a Louisiana native, not far from New Orleans, where eating, drinking, and dancing are pretty much a requirement for citizenship. She loves all things romance, a good mimosa, and Saturdays at the baseball park. She believes leggings are definitely pants and that there’s a little bit of magic in every pumpkin spice latte. In her heart, Mr. Darcy will always be the ultimate book boyfriend. And in her books, you will find sexy morally gray antiheroes and the strong women who love them.
