Ivy Layne - 2018
    If you've been waiting to read about the notorious Winters family, this collection is for you! The Billionaire's Pet Abigail I was in big trouble. The biggest. Running out of time, I turned to him. Jacob Winters promised he'd solve all my problems. All I had to do was become his pet. With some men, that kind of deal might have been a nightmare. Jacob Winters was a dream come true. I was raised to be a lady, not a man's plaything. But with Jacob, I almost had it all; pleasure like I'd never known and protection from the danger stalking me. Was it greedy to want more? I had his body, but I wanted his heart. Jacob I'd wanted Abigail for years, I won't deny it. But I don't pursue married women, and her husband was a disaster waiting to happen. Everything about Abigail warned me to steer clear, including the lady herself. Some women might cheat, but not her. Abigail was too noble for her own good. Beautiful and untouchable. Then her husband was murdered and every dark shadow he'd held back came after Abigail at once. She was on the run, and I was the only man who could save her. Abigail was mine. I didn't want a girlfriend. I definitely didn't need a wife. I just wanted her. In my home. In my bed. I was going to own every inch of her elegantly curved body. I'd keep her for as long as I wanted her, and then we'd both walk away. What could possibly go wrong? The Billionaire's Promise For two years I held Vance Winters off… Right up until the day my fiancé dumped me for his mistress and Vance kissed me senseless. Vance Winters was six feet of dangerously beautiful mayhem. Wicked blue eyes, tousled blond hair, and golden skin covered in tattoos. Trouble. I should have taken one look and run in the other direction. I should have told him to take his job offer and shove it up his tight, perfect ass. I won’t lie. One touch of Vance’s mouth to mine was better than all four years with my ex. I was tempted. Tempted, but not stupid. How many women had I escorted from his bed in the two years I’d worked for him? Vance didn’t do commitment and I’d been tossed aside one time too many. There was no way I was going to throw my broken heart at his feet, even if I suspected the sex might be worth it. Then she showed up. Rosalie. Only three months old, and she changed both of our lives in an instant. I could resist Vance when he was just my billionaire playboy boss. But could I keep my heart safe as I watched him fall in love with his daughter? The Rebel Billionaire We said we could do casual. We swore we wouldn’t fall in love. We lied. Charlie I didn’t buy my house just so I could stare at the guy next door. I swear. It’s not my fault he mows the lawn with his shirt off. His tattooed muscles are an eye magnet. I can’t look away. The first kiss is an accident. One taste and I have to have more. We were supposed to keep it casual. When a client comes after me for turning him into the FBI, Lucas swears he’ll keep me safe. I’m not supposed to fall in love with him. I’m walking straight into broken heart and I can’t stop myself. Lucas My new neighbor is a nightmare. Or a wet dream. Charlotte Winters, the crown princess of the Winters clan. It shouldn’t be hard to keep my distance.
