The man who has been my closest companion and now threatens to upend our carefully balanced world in pursuit of me. But the fourth man is probably the most terrifying. He wants to take the others away. He wants to tear the spinal column out my empire. Destroy my businesses. Destroy me.Why?Because the man who should have stayed dead wants me and he will stop at nothing until he's carved out my bloody, beating heart and left me broken.He should remember who he's dealing with...I'm not the girl he knew anymore. I'm Hades.This time when death comes for him, I'll make sure it sticks.¿¿¿Club 22 is book THREE of FOUR in the Hades series.

From the author of the Madison Kate series comes the next in the dark and delicious interconnected Hades series, another biting "why choose" romance in Shadow Grove.Five years ago, I made a choice that I haven't regretted a day since. I protected the single most important person in my world, my little sister.

Kept us out of the public eye, and kept us safe.Now a ghost from my past is threatening my position. Challenging me. Peddling their poison and breaking my rules. Stabbing at me in the dark.Blowing up my fucking club.But this last attack has taken it one step too far. They have no idea the lengths I'll go to protect what is mine. And Lucas? He's mine.They want anarchy? They haven't seen anything yet.

To the general public, the Tri-State Timberwolves were extinct.But that couldn't have been further from the truth. We changed, we grew, we evolved and came out stronger than ever. Now, I live, eat, sleep and breathe Timberwolves. I'll do anything to keep my empire safe and thriving.

"I never miss."Riot Night changed my life.Coming back to Shadow Grove turned it on its head.I've been hunted, stabbed, stalked, tormented, and used. Hate fueled me, lies tore me apart, and in the end, everything I thought I knew turned out to be fake.Except...Riot Night also brought Archer, Kody, and Steele back into my life. No matter how much I've fought my feelings for them, no matter how much I've hated them or how many of their deceptions I've uncovered-I want them in my life. I want to fight for them. All three of them.No one owns me.No one is taking them away.This is my life, damn it, and these guys are mine to keep.If a war is what it takes, then a war is what our enemies will get.

"Madison Kate Danvers was murdered tonight."Those words changed my life, and not for the better.They were wrong, of course. I wasn't dead. But I was set up.After being framed for a deadly riot, charged with a string of offences, and being made into an example by my politically minded father, I'm eventually released back into Shadow Grove. I could keep my head down, but I only have one thing on my mind.Hate.The boys who framed me are going to pay for derailing my carefully laid-out future. They're going to catch the full force of my revenge. Except when I arrive back in town, thanks to my father's shiny new girlfriend, I find all three of them living in my house, right down the hall.Archer, Kodiak, and Steele are secretive. Untrustworthy. Dangerous-and dangerously magnetic, too. But I'm not falling for their games. Not after what they did to me.Archer D'Ath and his boys messed with the wrong chick, and they're about to learn just how cold Madison Kate's hatred can run.

"Liar, liar, pants on fire."The words scrawled on the back of my newest stalker mail make my blood run cold. I have no idea if the lie is one I know I'm telling...or one that I don't.Since arriving back to Shadow Grove, I've been stalked, tormented, chased, and almost killed. I've been lied to, repeatedly, by the boys I was finally growing to trust-and more.Liar.That word haunts all four of us, but it haunts me the most. Someone knows more about my life than I do. Someone is taunting me with answers and teasing me with secrets. Am I desperate enough to fall for more deception? To fall deeper into this tangle of danger and heat?One thing is for sure: Archer and his boys made a huge mistake when they decided to keep me from the truth. They thought they could play me, but they're about to learn that they've met their match.No one stabs Madison Kate in the back and gets away with it.

"You'll always be mine."The latest taunt from my stalker reminded me I was nothing more than a possession to my father, to the Reapers, to Archer D'Ath. Even to Kody and Steele. Princess Danvers-the prize.His wife.Archer D'Ath's wife.I hate them. They lied to me. Over and over again. I knew they were lying, too, and I hate myself for letting it get this far. For falling for them despite what they did to me. For believing in the relationships I wanted so desperately to be real.Fake.It's all fake. And none of them will let me go. Archer and his boys think they control me. My stalker wants to possess me. I'm not an idiot-I know my newest allies are using me, too.That's fine.I'll use all of them. I'll use them to take back what's mine.My life. My freedom. My name.No one owns Madison Kate Danvers.

Dreams. Goals. Plans.You envision a dream, set a goal, and formulate a plan. I had diligently pursued all of these steps. I was on my way to obtaining my degree, engaging with breathtaking works of art, and unexpectedly falling into bed with my professor.Yeah, that last bit wasn't part of the grand scheme, but even I had to admit that it wasn't an unwelcome deviation.Ironically, despite my meticulous planning, attention to detail, and even despite my own deceptions, I ended up being the one deceived. Being manipulated and used.He didn't desire me for who I was; he merely coveted my connections.He yearned for me because of my access to his prized painting.And when he absconded into the night with the piece he'd been willing to betray me for, he shattered my heart.Except, he got caught, and in doing so he inadvertently revealed my biggest secret.My forgery.¿¿¿FORGERY is book TWO of THREE in the Valenshek Legacy series. This M/F romance is set in the Shadow Grove world but can be read independently of the other Shadow Grove books. Character cameos from other series are minor and inconsequential.

I'll end it. One more night, and I'll end it. Men like Dylan Grant never commit to women like me. I'm too weak, too broken, too tragic.Just one more night, and I'll walk away. Dylan Grant will never see me again.Or... that was the plan.

The streets run red with the blood of innocents and Rybet's heart is heavy as she returns to Lakehaven. Facing court and her mother's murderer will require more than just a brave face. She will need the skill, intellect and support of those who love her. Or what's left of them. Torn between love and duty, Rybet faces decisions she never thought she would have to make.
