The only people I trusted were my brother by blood, my brothers by patch, and the crazy Irish-Scottish bastard I did jobs for. That was why, when the hot-as-hell blonde started trailing my brothers and me, I had to act. Maybe Ophelia Kline was working with the enemy—playing me with lies from that damn mouth. Or maybe she was innocent—caught in the spread of toxic rot. Either way, she was mine. And when push came to glock-in-the-face, I wouldn’t let her go. Because all good relationships start with a BOOM and a little kidnapping… right? This is a Happily Ever Alpha novella featuring crossover from the Hyde Series and Aurora Rose Reynolds' Until Series.

And an OTT hero who knows what he wants when he gets hit by the BOOM.

Mine to Have
Jade Sinner - 2016
***Max... I didn't ask for any of it. I didn't want any of it. I had a life. A playboy reputation and money to burn. But then it happened...all the things I didn't want... Most of my family gone—taken by a distracted driver. My father's multi-billion-dollar conglomerate thrust upon me. And her, Lacy, my niece (sort of), in need of a guardian. Here's the moral of this story (the only one): life doesn't give us what we want. Or does it? Three years later...Lacy's an adult and right under my nose, almost literally. No longer a girl, she's a woman with sexy curves and a way of taking over my every thought. I know it isn't right—she calls me uncle—but then again...maybe it is time for life to give me what I want. After all, she was given to me. She's mine to have. **These characters are not really related. Warning: This is a fun, dirty book about forbidden love with a predictable HEA. If you like that sort of thing, it's guaranteed to make you grin. There's no cheating, and it's embarrassingly hot. We took a storyline that everyone has heard and pushed it beyond its limits. Then again, this quick read might not be for you, but if it is, we promise not to tell your secret. If you decide to give Mine to Have a try, know you were warned! Max will have you calling UNCLE!
