J.L. Beck

It started with a single look...my obsession, my desire, and need to possess the sweet, and incredibly naive, Elena Romero. Dark raven hair and piercing green eyes. She would make a beautiful bride. Ten million dollars and a forced signature later and she was mine. Like a thief I came in the...

I made a mistake. At sixteen years old I fell for the wrong man. Callum Torrio. Ruthless billionaire. Dangerous villain. My best friend's father. At twenty one, I gave up hope that he would ever notice me. He’s twenty years older than me and an arms dealer for the mob. The smart choice...

Her daddy owes me half a million dollars, but I'm taking her in instead. She's an innocent in this evil war, but I can't let her go. One taste and I'm consumed with need. One taste and she's mine forever. I won't take no for an answer. I'll die before I let her go, and she knows it. ...

Three brothers set out for revenge, to avenge one man's wrongdoings. He killed everyone they ever loved, stole their world, and nearly killed them in the process. So as the three brothers waited and watched, they took his most treasured possession, his one and only daughter....

I made a vow to protect her when we were just kids. First, from the monsters hiding under the bed and then the ones roaming the world freely. My obsession with Dove wasn’t normal. It toed the line on psychotic, but my love for her overshadowed that....

Once upon a time she was my sister’s best friend. I’d always wanted her to be mine, that is until the night everything changed and my love morphed into pure hatred. Now I’m a vile bastard with a chip on his shoulder. Cruel black hate is all I know....

Two years ago, she ruined my family’s life. Maybe, she thought it was only a little lie. That she did the right thing, that the worst was behind her, that no one had gotten hurt. Oh, how naive the black haired beauty was....

Golden boy. Party king. Trust fund brat. That's what they call me—everyone's favorite disaster. They call her crazy, and broken. I call her beautiful, careful, haunted.

Fear. Rage. Pain. I’ve endured it all. Seen it all. I’m the bad brother, the evil one—the psychopath. I wasn’t born this way. I was made this way. Neglect, abuse, trauma, and pain really mess a person up. Then the day I never thought would come finally does. It’s time for revenge.

Aries: I kept my distance to protect her. My little stepsister with wide eyes and soft smiles—too innocent for a world like mine. But while I was locked away in darkness, he took my place. My name. My life. Her. Now I’m back. And I’ll burn this world to the ground to get it all back—even...

They say there is always a calm before the storm. A time when you think you’re safe, protected from the destruction that you know is going to come eventually. Harper was that calm. And I? I was the motherfucking storm. As kids, we were best friends. She was the light to my darkness. I used to...

Two years ago, she ruined my family’s life. Maybe she thought it was only a little lie. That she did the right thing, that the worst was behind her, that no one had gotten hurt. Oh how naive the black-haired beauty was. Fate has finally brought her back to me, to Blackthorn Academy. Once upon...

It was such a shame that she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She knew we would come for her. We had seen her delicate face that night, hidden in the shadows, and she had seen what we did, her gasp of horror giving her away. She was perfection, beauty, and oozed goodness, but that would...

Once upon a time, she was my sister’s best friend. I’d always wanted her to be mine. That is, until the night everything changed, and my love morphed into pure hatred. Now I’m a vile bastard with a chip on his shoulder. Cruel, black hate is all I know. My only focus is fucking my way...

On any day our paths would never cross. Then I was forced to go to the Ruthless Disciples. Every month they do something called the hunt. I didn't plan to ever attend an event, but I needed the money. I thought it was nothing more than an adult version of hide-and-seek. I had no idea how wrong I...

Shattered. Broken beyond repair. I’m the shell of the woman I used to be. The deeper I fall from reality, the worse things get. Only there’s one person who refuses to let me derail. Romero Pierce....

Notorious arms dealer Callum Torrio will do whatever he has to do to get the woman he loves back. A war between the crime families is brewing, and if they aren’t careful, they’ll end up right in the middle of it. Forced into hiding, Callum knows he must do whatever he can to keep Bianca and...

Money. It’s the root of all evil and I need it bad. You could call it the wrong place, wrong time. To me the day I met Enzo was the day the old me died. When he kidnaps me thinking I’m the daughter of his enemy, the only thing I can do is pretend to be something I’m not....

Betrayal cuts the deepest. I would know better than anyone. They never suspected me to be the villain. That didn’t matter anymore, though, because I didn’t just want revenge, I needed it....

My life used to be simple—quiet, safe. But then I fell in love with dangerous billionaire arms dealer Callum Torrio....
