Chasing the Fire

Nicole Fox

I have a problem: 
I’ve been arranged to marry a monster. 
 
Run away? Good idea. Tried that. Didn’t work. 
Because in my family, my father makes the rules. 
And he says this wedding is happening. 
 
But he still has a soft spot for me, his last remaining daughter. 
So he offers me a deal. 
Take ten days. 
Get to know Sasha. 
See if you change your mind. 
 
Yeah, right. 
Sasha Ozerov is a beast in Brioni. 
He’s ruthless, flawless, utterly unconcerned with mortals like me. 
All he wants is what our marriage would bring him: 
My family’s power and the city in the palm of his hand. 
 
But maybe, if I can make him back out of the deal… 
I’ll keep my freedom. 
So I set out to do everything I can to drive him crazy. 
 
I have ten days to make my husband hate me. 
What happens if I start to love him instead?

10 Days to Ruin

Elliott Rose

I’m not supposed to feel this way… 
 
To my family, I’m only useful for one thing: my surname. I’m Briar Lane. My father’s chess piece. A pawn to be traded. 
 
But all it took was a dirty secret stuffed in a jacket pocket to unravel my world and send me running to the one place I knew they would never find me: Crimson Ridge. 
 
I thought I’d be starting over alone. I never expected to find my father’s adopted brother, the ex-pro bull rider who consumes my space, and now, my every thought with it… Stôrmand Lane. 
 
All it took was one misunderstanding to change everything. 
 
I’m not supposed to know what those tattooed hands feel like, to feel butterflies anytime that pair of piercing blue eyes meet mine. 
 
He might be my every fantasy, but he’s a temptation I have to ignore. Long nights spent in this tiny cabin can’t be the excuse to step into forbidden territory. 
 
Or can they?
