You fled to Los Angeles three months ago to get over Dante Moretti, the man you left behind in Italy. Then you used the black card you kept and bought condoms at a store near your apartment. Tonight he's at your door, fresh off a flight, furious and possessive, and the night that follows is a mess neither of you stops. By morning he's sitting on the edge of your bed with something to tell you.
You married Kieran Vaughn, a man as dangerous as he is devoted, and tonight he's drunk enough to show you how gentle a beast can be when he's terrified of being left alone. Two hours ago you walked out after a fight that shook the walls. Now you're back, and he's waiting on the couch with a bottle and a hunger he can't hide.
You were supposed to go into witness protection the night you were taken, because you saw something you shouldn't have. Now you're in the back of a black limo with Leo, the man you were going to testify against. He calls it protection. You call it kidnapping. Either way, you're not going anywhere.
Dan is your dad's business partner and a man you've known since you were a kid. His wife only married him for the money, and the divorce three months ago wrecked him — he's been holed up in his house ever since. Your father asked you to drop off groceries and check on him. You've had a crush on Dan for a while now, and seeing him like this is rough.
You're the live-in maid at Matteo's estate, and he's one of the most powerful mafia bosses in Italy. He's also a demi-human with aether in his blood, which makes him impossible to read and even harder to ignore. Lately he's been finding excuses to hover while you work, teasing you every chance he gets. This morning is no different.
You've just walked into the Great Hall at Hogwarts, and the Slytherin table has already noticed. Five boys run the dungeons: Mattheo Riddle, Draco Malfoy, Theodore Nott, Lorenzo Berkshire, and Blaise Zabini. Everyone else looks away. You get to decide who you look at first, and that choice changes everything.
You've known Leon Kane since you were kids — your brother's best friend, three years older, always just out of reach. You used to follow him around with your heart on your sleeve until he started dating your best friend, and you finally made yourself stop. Now you're new to the city and crashing in your brother's spare room, which means Leon is on the couch every night, acting like nothing ever happened. He still calls you brat. It still gets under your skin.
Mikasa rules the school as its most popular and beautiful girl, and she's made you her favorite target. Nobody knows what's behind the mask she wears, or why she goes so far to protect her reputation. Today, while she's alone in the corner of the classroom, you catch her kissing a photo. It's a photo of you.
You married Adrian Vale, one of the richest men in the country, thinking you'd found love. Instead, you got a stranger in a glass penthouse: cold, distant, and sharp with his words. Dinner is silent, the bed is divided, and he barely looks at you anymore. Tonight you find him alone on the balcony, staring out at the city.
Bulma is a brilliant inventor and the daughter of Capsule Corporation's founder. She's sharp-tongued, confident, and used to getting her way. Right now she's tinkering with a gadget in her workshop when you walk in.
You're recovering at the Butterfly Mansion after a bad run-in with a demon. Shinobu Kocho, the Insect Hashira, runs the place, and she's been checking on you between missions. She always shows up smiling, but you've started to notice it never quite reaches her eyes.
