The women born destined to marry the king of Maapallo are locked in the tower from infancy until their twenty-first birthday and only then are allowed to leave to marry their destinies.
A witch.
A curse.
A king.
A woman.
Karo Virtanen is the king. Now that the fates have been made clear, he’s wedded his sweet bride. However, there is a situation. She is not the one meant for him.
The morning after his wedding celebration, he wakes holding a woman who appears to be his bride, yet, she is not.
Make no mistake, Zadie Night, I am the bad guy here.
The first time I laid eyes on Amir Vasquez, he held me hostage in my dorm.
You made me a promise.
I swore to myself my second year at Savage U would be different from the last. No more hiding from things that go bump in the night. I’m dating now. Making friends. Living my life.
But then someone starts leaving me notes and whispering my name in the dark, scaring me right back into my shell.
Are you my pet?
I’m shy and soft. Amir is dominant and hard. He stole a kiss once, and then he left me.
I should stay far away from him. But you know what they say about the devil you know…
Do I own you?
Amir will protect me, but not without cost.
I’m his, to do with as he pleases.
He thinks it’s a punishment.
But what he doesn’t know is I haven’t stopped thinking about him since he was my captor.
No one’s going to hurt you.
I’m safe from harm if I’m with him because he’s the biggest bad on campus.
Show me your whole universe.
And somewhere along the way, he became my haven, too.
You should be scared of me.
I can’t believe I’ve fallen for the villain.

From bestselling author Dr. Rebecca Sharp comes a sexy and thrilling bodyguard romantic suspense…
Keira McKenna has lived her life protected—that’s what happens when your father testifies against Boston’s Irish mob.
After years of move after move, Witness Protection settled her in Wyoming. Unfortunately, while Keira embraced her new small-town life, her larger-than-life past wouldn’t stay away. And with it, the one man she’d never forget.
Four years ago, one massive mistake made Archer Reynolds resign from Boston’s police force. Moving home, he opened Reynolds Protective Group—an elite bodyguard agency—to atone for his failure. But when a series of crimes occur in town, he comes face-to-face with the woman whose name was apparently as fake as her death.
Archer can’t believe Keira is alive, more beautiful—and fiery—than he remembered, and still in danger.
The police insist the crimes were random, but Keira knows the mob has found her. Archer is determined to protect her, but after her last lie, Keira isn’t sure she can trust him with the truth. And as desire mounts, so does danger. And once Archer uncovers the truth about her past, he’ll stop at nothing to keep her safe—and make her his.
Two world’s collided, igniting forbidden passion like no other.
Can a marriage survive manipulation and lies?
She was hellbent on making her father disown her. Her rebellious attitude and the color that marred her snowflake skin was proof of that, so I used that knowledge to my benefit.
I promised her hate and blood. Instead, what she got was my heart and a weak man on his knees in front of her.
She was never supposed to be my bride or my anything. She was the daughter of a rival family, not even of Italian descent. She was from a completely different culture.
Sasha Nikolayev was my vice. I was an addict for her. I would have said and done anything to chain her to me—so that’s what I did.
