I thought I wanted stability—security—someone safe. For two years, I convinced myself Asher—my polished, predictable, perfect boyfriend—was enough. Until the letters started. Cryptic. Obsessive. Meant only for me. Then, I meet Asher's twin. Maddox Cross. A name no one speaks. A convicted felon. Asher warns me to stay away, but Maddox peels me open, piece by piece, like he already knows my secrets. And when the truth comes out, I won't have to choose between two brothers. Because one of them will never let me go.

As the second youngest Ravage brother, I’ve spent my entire adult life rectifying our tainted family name and keeping my urges behind closed doors. Until my best friend’s little sister shows up at The Hunt ready to play, and I lose control. I tell myself it’s just a taste. Except, with her, I should’ve known a single taste wouldn’t be enough. And then the good girl I’ve known most of my life drops to her knees. For me. From that moment on, I knew she would only ever be one thing. Mine.

Some people say you should forget the past, focus on the present, and dream for the future. That’s what I intend to do, because I want nothing more than to move on and start a new family—and a new life in Greythorn—with Silas, Damon, and Jude. But the past doesn’t want to die, and despite our reign, there’s one person who wants nothing more than to see our Kingdom fall.

Ambrose King is everything I hate–ruthless, smug, and far too good at getting under my skin. He's my biggest business rival with a knack for stealing my clients. When my date doesn't show up at the couples retreat we're both at, the asshole convinces me to fake a relationship in order to secure the deal of a lifetime. I don't like him. I definitely don't trust him. And I absolutely shouldn't enjoy it when he wraps a hand around my throat, tells me to kneel, and calls me sweetheart. But I do. God help me–I do.

Their names are whispers in the hallways. Hunter, Ash, Ledger, and Samson. The Kings. Four of the most beautiful men I’ve ever seen, with cruel agendas and an even crueler reign over Ravenwood Academy. Wreaking havoc in our small, New England town, no one asks questions. For the most part, people ignore or avoid them. After all, they’re royalty here. Because one of them - the cruelest one - is the headmaster’s son. And my new stepbrother. They can try to torment me. They can try to break me. But they have no idea what I’ve endured.

Dr. Dante Kincaid is a world-renowned psychiatrist—and my boss. When a hotel mix-up forces us to share a suite on a business trip, everything changes. He's shrouded in secrets, always keeping his distance while he bosses me around in those pristine suits. When he tells me to lock my door at night, I should listen. But my curiosity about what he's hiding after dark is too strong to ignore.

Als zweitjüngster Ravage-Bruder habe ich mein gesamtes Erwachsenenleben damit verbracht, den befleckten Namen meiner Familie wieder reinzuwaschen und meine Triebe hinter verschlossenen Türen zu verstecken. Bis die kleine Schwester meines besten Freundes bei »der Jagd« auftaucht und ich die Kontrolle verliere. Jetzt, acht Jahre später, bricht mein Leben auseinander. Verführt von einer Einladung ins Ravage-Schloss, tauche ich dort auf, um Antworten auf Fragen zu finden, von denen ich nicht weiß, ob ich sie verkraften kann.

The Lords own me, and they are never going to let me go. At least, that’s what they tell me. Lord Alaric Cross. Lord Gideon St. Claire. Lord Sterling Beauchamp. Lord Theodore Wolf. Four brooding men who make my worst nightmares seem tame. To the public, they are titled aristocrats with royal lineage. In secret, they make up the Lords of Darkness—an ancient order that rules the underbelly of England with a lethal, iron fist, leaving skeletons in their wake. And as fate would have it, my father was the fifth Lord of Darkness. His sudden death means I am now a Lady of Darkness.

I tried to ruin the Lords before they could drag me into the depths of hell with them–and failed. Now, I’m reaping the consequences–vengeance by those same four, ruthless men who would like nothing more than to rid me from their order. Betrayal is funny that way–one proverbial knife in the back turns their cold, dead hearts even colder.

I would forever be grateful that Silas Huxley, Damon Brooks, and Jude Vanderbilt saved me from my own broken darkness. They were there to catch me—as friends, and now as roommates and lovers. Three enigmatic, brutal gods who would do anything for me—even kill. Because someone connected to Silas is planning our demise—someone with a past that doesn’t want to be found. Despite this, I know the guys will keep me safe. After all, I belong to them now. I’m confident the four of us can withstand anything. Until Jude disappears.

I never wanted to come back to Greythorn, MA. And I never thought I’d see Silas Huxley, Damon Brooks, or Jude Vanderbilt again—especially not after what happened. But here they are, in all of their grown, badass glory—brutal, tatted, muscular, and no longer the boys I knew at Ravenwood Academy—the boys I bullied relentlessly.

Hunter, Ash, Ledger, and Samson. The Kings of Ravenwood Academy. Their names still send shivers down my spine, for more than one reason. Back then, they didn’t expect me to fight back. But I did. And now I’m theirs. After making a pact with them, they help me get revenge on the one man who wronged me. Now, I have four ruthless guys willing to risk everything for me. The only problem is, I promised them everything I had in return. So while I may be the new Queen of Ravenwood, the Kings still own me, body and soul. And I’m not quite sure I’m ready to hand over my crown.

What does it mean to deviate from the "normal" path that society lays out for us?

Welcome to the audiobook version of Perspectives on Technology Skill Development, a collection of articles by leaders who recognize their organization’s success depends on their ability to consistently and predictably build tech skills. The speed of technological change and pressure to deliver innovations to the market means the old ways of “training” teams aren’t cutting it anymore.

I’ve spent years hiding my depraved deviances behind my roles as pastor and headmaster of Saint Helena Academy. When Julian—my former best friend—returns to my life, the tension between us is impossible to ignore. He’s married now, and I try to keep my distance. Until he confesses his secret: he wants me to sleep with his wife, Sophie, while he watches. It’s their arrangement, their game—and now, I’m the one they’ve chosen.

The idea of seeking a wife to salvage our family’s reputation starts as a joke…until it spirals into a desperate reality. Before I know it, I’m lying my way into a marriage of convenience with a woman who is everything I’m not.

Being the oldest Ravage brother means I've always been the fixer, handling everyone else's mess. But the one problem I can't solve? Keeping my hands off Zoe, my best friend's daughter. Hidden away in my remote cabin, writing is my escape until duty thrusts her into my life. Over the years, Zoe evolves into a tempting taboo—the one person I crave but can never claim, despite what she tells me about her inclinations. I vowed protection at any cost—even if it's from myself.

The Crawford family has underestimated me again. But this time, it's not just about vengeance; it's about safeguarding my future and protecting the family I hold dear. And Zeek—the sinister brother of my former best friend—has no idea what my sister is capable of. Justice must be served.

I am a prisoner in the place I once called home. Desolate. I am thousands of miles away from my mate. Waiting. Nothing will ever stop me loving my true mate, Phoenix Adair. Nothing. Not even Willow Creek's new alpha, my former best friend, Zade Crawford.
