"Run, roza," he murmured, his eyes flashing. "Run as fast as those legs can take you. Hide in the deepest cave on this mountain. Scream for your friends. Cry for help." He leaned in close, his voice dropping into a whisper so cold, so terrifying, it shook me to the very core of my soul. "Because when five minutes are up... I am coming to hunt you down. And when I catch you this time, Cherry-and I will catch you-there will be no more runs. No more fake names. No more mountain villages. I am going to drag you back to my estate, throw you into my room, and lock the doors forever. I will cage you so deep beneath my foundation that you will never see the sun again." He leaned down, pressing his lips against the shell of my ear one last time. "One," he whispered. Terror, violent and absolute, exploded through my veins. Lucian raised his palm, resting it flat against my shoulder, and gave me a single, gentle shove. "Two." I stumbled back, my feet catching on the wet pine needles before I turned and bolted into the dark, screaming inside my own head as I sprinted blindly into the deepest, blackest part of the forest. "Three." I ran.

Kadia Emerson has built a reputation on one simple rule: history doesn't care who wants to rewrite it. As one of the most respected freelance museum curators in the world, she's made a career out of questioning what everyone else accepts. So when an anonymous historical foundation offers her an extraordinary fee to authenticate a private collection hidden somewhere in Los Angeles, curiosity wins over caution.

As centuries-old secrets buried inside the world's largest private archive begin to unravel, professional admiration turns into undeniable attraction. But history has always demanded a price, and some discoveries were never meant to leave the shadows. Because the closer Kadia gets to the truth... the closer she gets to the man who would burn the world before letting it take her.

One night in Vegas was a mistake. Ten months later, it's the only thing keeping them alive. Dr. Victoria "Tori" Paisley is a woman of logic and medicine, but she made one very illogical move: she got blackout drunk in Vegas and woke up married to a stranger. That stranger is Donte Reed, a cold-hearted billionaire with a reputation as an arrogant "dick" and a brother who has already leaked their "happily ever after" to the press to save the family's corporate image. Tori doesn't want Donte's money-she just needs to save her seven-year-old sister, Esme, who is fighting a rare childhood lung tumor. When Donte offers to pay for Esme's life-saving surgery in exchange for Tori staying married to him for eighteen months, she has no choice but to sign her life away to a man she can't stand. But as the "sham" marriage continues, the walls between them begin to crumble. Behind Donte's icy exterior is a man who would give up a kidney to save the woman he's accidentally fallen in love with. Just as Tori realizes she's carrying his child and is ready to admit her own feelings, a shadow from Donte's past strikes with lethal intent. After a near-fatal "accident" leaves Tori with a fractured skull and a missing memory, Donte is forced to play a dangerous game. To lure out the psycho ex-lovers who want Tori dead, he must do the one thing that might destroy her forever: make her believe he's back to his old, cheating ways. In a war of love, lies, and obsession, can Donte protect his family without losing the only woman who truly owns his heart?

Orphaned at twelve after vampires slaughtered her parents, Tabby was taken in by Madame Dubé, a voodoo priestess whose teachings of ancestral magic shaped her into the bayou's fierce protector.
