The Club
Suzanne Steele - 2015
This is NOT a love story. It is however a dark erotic tale of a man who is severely damaged. A man who becomes very dangerous when it comes to his captive bride. There will be bloodshed and lives lost before Antonio Wayne ever lets Roxanne go.This is a very DARK read with triggers. It deals with human trafficking and all the ugly that goes with it. If you're sensitive to triggers I do NOT recommend reading this.Antonio Wayne: I pulled on my brother’s arm; screaming, as he forced me to board the plane to America. “I’ll be good, I swear I will.” “It isn’t about you being good; it’s about you staying alive, Hermano. You are all I have. I can’t afford to lose you to the drug cartel. I’ll send for you.” My heart broke the day my brother put me on that plane, but that was the day that I became a man. I vowed that day to never love again and it has served me well. I am now one of the most deadly and high ranking mobsters in New York City. Roxanne: I traveled the world as a cage fighter. Hey, no girl wants her face messed up, so my friend and I came up with an idea; only fight each other and throw the fights so that the ‘upsets’ would cause us to make more money. We were doing fine until we stole from the Ramirez brothers. My best friend is now the property of Ricardo Ramirez (Their story is in the book Rubia) who resides in Guatemala City and I am now the property of Antonio Wayne Ramirez, one of the most deadly and feared men in New York City. My husband is obsessed with me and will stop at nothing to keep me in his possession. Antonio: I vowed from childhood to never love again after growing up in the back streets and the jungles of Colombia. My brother put me on a plane to the US and I clawed my way up through the gutters to become the man I am today. My heart broke the day my brother put me on that plane, but that was the day that I became a man. I vowed that day to never love again and it has served me well. I am now one of the most deadly and high ranking mobsters in New York City. The day she stole from my brother is the day that she became my property. My captive very quickly becomes my obsession and I will stop at nothing to keep her. I am brutal, I am ruthless, I am vicious, I am cruel, I am savage, and I am a man who will stop at nothing to not only gain, but maintain control. If pleasure works then so be it. If stronger measures of pain need to be taken, then so be it.

Caveman
Jo Raven - 2017
Hot single daddy. Arrogant. Rude. Older. My boss. Totally off limits... right? Matthew Hansen is the kind of handsome that has grown women whispering behind their hands and giggling like schoolgirls. Dark, tall and mysterious, he’s a newcomer to our little town. He’s a gritty, grease-covered mechanic, and a single daddy. Sweet, right? Plus, he’s looking for a nanny – and I am desperately looking for a job. Sounds like the perfect deal. Only he’s a jerk. An uncivilized, hulking brute. Zero manners. Zero interest in making me feel welcome in his home. Downright rude. But oh, so sexy. And I need the job. I can do this. One thing is for sure: I can’t fall for the Caveman. No matter how sexy he is. How mysterious. How tortured. That’s the only rule – and one I’m about to break. ***This is a standalone, full-length romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger or cheating. For a limited time, I have included ZANE, a standalone novel, and MICAH, a standalone long novella, as bonus. ***(Librarian Note: This story is loosely connected (as a sort of sequel) to Zane (Inked Brotherhood, #3).)
