My new assignment at work: test out toys. Yup, that kind.

Well, technically, it’s to test the app that controls the toys remotely.

One problem? The showgirl who’s supposed to test the hardware (as in, the actual toys) joins a nunnery.

Another problem? This project is important to my Russian boss, the broody, mouthwateringly sexy Vlad, a.k.a. The Impaler.

There’s only one solution: test both the software and the hardware myself… with his help.

It was almost impossible to heal when everyone was out to get you.

Shelby Rowe was stuck between two worlds—the one she wanted and the one everyone else wanted for her. As the daughter of a prominent family in Honey Cove, Shelby’s life was out of her control. Her friends, interests, and even her love life was controlled by others.

When a new girl moves to town, Shelby’s life was turned upside down as she gets a glimpse of what life could be like—no obligations, no pressure. As the Christmas break begins, Shelby is left stuck between what is expected and what she feels is right. Split in half, Shelby has to make decisions to correct her life and heal her spirit.

Will she allow others to control who she is? Or will she finally go out on her own?

BLURB

From the moment the man walked into the bar, I knew he was still in the closet. But that didn’t stop us from sharing an incredible night together. 

Our easy, one-night hookup went from no-strings-attached to a tangled mess on the first day of the semester, when I locked eyes with the mystery man from the bar... who also happens to be my new Art History professor. 

Lucas Mathiasson is everywhere I turn and the harder we try to resist, the closer we’re pulled together. Until our weekend in Vegas. Then all bets – and rules – are off. 

But lessons in love can’t be taught from a syllabus. They have to be experienced. 

And not all love is easy. Not all rules are meant to be broken. And not all men are created to live life in the open. 

Falling for my professor wasn’t part of the plan... but how do you let go of the man who taught you how to love?

ROWDY: 

You think this is a love story. You’re wrong. It’s a massacre. 

A massacre of who I think I am, 
where I come from, 
and who I thought I’d have a future with. 

One wouldn't have me. 
The other couldn't. 
Both stole my heart. 

You think you know me. You have no idea. 


REESE: 

He thinks I'm a lion. 
I'm really a mouse, 
afraid of the demons nipping at my heels. 

No one can touch me. 
No one except him. 
I don't fear his touch. 
I crave it. 

Darkness is my enemy, 
yet his shadow doesn't scare me. 

He's the only dark I'm not afraid of. 


When their pasts threaten to topple their future, can the lion and her beast prevail, or will the darkness overtake them? 


For maximum enjoyment, it is suggested the Black Ops MMA Series be read in order to fully experience the world and the characters that inhabit it.

When I rescued Scarlett De La Cruz from her tower it’s not like her prospects were looking so great. 

You’d think she’d show a little gratitude. Thank me for putting my ring on her finger and marking her as mafia property. 

My property. 

I’ll keep her safe. And the trade-off isn’t so bad. Most women would jump at the chance to sleep in my bed. 

Not Scarlett, though. 

My Cartel Princess has a big mouth and an even bigger attitude. But it’s her furious caramel eyes that keep me coming back for more. That and the way her body bends to mine like it already knows it belongs to me. 

Scarlett is my enemy. She’s also the one woman I can’t keep my hands off. 

But if I don’t keep my head on straight, everything I’ve worked for all these years will have been for nothing.

A man like me isn’t cut out to be a dad. 
And if this kid had another option I wouldn’t try to be one now. 
But for once I’m going to step up. 
I’ll right the worst of old wrongs. 
I’ll pretend this last name of mine is something decent instead of a legacy of hard-core criminals. 
I don’t know if I’ll ever be free of my sins. 
I do know it wouldn't be wise to get close enough to find out. 
Into this chaos walks Isabella Gentry. 
She was warned to keep her distance from me. 
I was the one who warned her. 
She’s beautiful. She’s headstrong. She’s spoiled as hell. 
And she’s my freaking roommate. 
Half of me wants to turn her world upside down in the cruelest way imaginable. 
The other half wants to worship the ground she walks on. 
This can go one of two ways. 
Either I’ll decide to be the worst version of myself. 
Or I’ll surrender the past in order to build a future. 
And maybe along the way I’ll prove something. 
That the guy everyone loves to hate might be redeemable yet...

Pas de Trois
Brynn Ford
(The Four Families, #3)
Publication date: January 12th 2021
Genres: Adult, Dark Romance, Romance

Blood taken requires blood given. But whose will spill?

The four families would seek retribution for the blood I spilled. They were coming for me and I couldn’t escape their wrath. But my master saved my life with unspoken promises of protection from their revenge. He was a man I thought I couldn’t trust, but I had no choice.

Secrets were about to be revealed that would change everything. Armed with the truth, I was ready to fight for a future with the man I loved that I never thought would be possible.

I was ready to fight for our freedom.

I was ready to take on power that didn’t exist before.

I was ready to transform from slave to queen and become the woman I had to be to survive.

There was more on the line now than ever before. Three lives hung in the balance. Decisions were being made about our fates for things that were beyond our control, but it was time for me to take destiny into my own hands.

There was hope for us where there was none before.

I would take it and run with it.

Content Warning: This book contains explicit sexual content, violence, and mature themes including scenes where consent is not sought or given. The author in no way condones such heinous acts, but rather seeks to immerse the reader in the true horror of the characters’ experience. This book also contains a traumatic birth scene. This is your trigger warning – reader discretion is advised.

Series Note: “Pas de Trois” is the third and final book in the Four Families trilogy. It is not a standalone and the books must be read in order. Start with book one—”Counts of Eight”—and then read book two—”Dance with Death”—before reading this book.
