Violet Vendetti was the Bottaro princess - was. She’d been betrothed to the Capo dei capi of New York, without ever knowing it. A deal made, is a deal kept, as far as the Vendetti Crime family is concerned. No matter that it was her father to plead for her safety offering up her hand in marriage amongst other promises. The Capo always comes to collect what is owed.

They’re the Vendetti crime familia, the most powerful mafia name in New York.... Matteo Vendetti is a man who gets what he wants. As heir to the Vendetti Empire and the capo dei capi’s throne, he’s only required to do one thing. He must get married to prove that he’s matured and is stable enough to take over. The stipulation doesn’t sound like much of a challenge until he realizes who his betrothed is. Violet’s the Bottaro Princessa, not just a random woman he met by chance in another country.

I’m a nobody...until everybody realizes who I am and who I’m related to. Then, it’s like a giant target that is painted on my back. They all think they can use me to climb the Rosewood High royalty ladder. They obviously underestimate me. I won’t cower down or give in. They can’t break me. But he can...without even trying.

Hospital work isn’t for the faint of heart. Becca Dillon knows that firsthand, having worked as a medical assistant in the cardiac unit at Rutherford Hospital for longer than she cares to think about. What she does care to think about is having fun, gossip, and... guys. Her favorite of the three. And why stick to one, when you can sample them all?

Not all lessons can be learned in a classroom. I went back to school to make something of myself - it was all about me. Until her...My teacher. One look in those sad eyes and every other reason for being in that classroom is erased. She’s lost. That much is obvious. Damn if I didn’t want to be the one to find her, to hell with rules. I wasn’t expecting to fall so hard and fast. Her struggle to discover who she’s meant to be stirs something inside me. When her past threatens to destroy what we have, I’ll do what it takes to keep her safe...and make her mine.

He was meant to be a distraction. Just one night, no strings, no promises. But things aren’t always that straightforward. As I find out when the man staring in my wild fantasies takes up residence at the desk next to mine, he demands more than I’m willing to give. He makes me crave things I said I’d never do again. But my resolve weakens, and I find myself craving a man over a decade my senior. Until our secrets threaten to shatter everything. Is this just history repeating itself, or could it be everything I’ve ever wanted?

Tyler: Football is life. Growing up, my family loved to cheer me on, and after my parents' accident, I vowed to be the best I could be to honor their memory. After a while, life starts to pile up - college, football, and helping out my brothers. I just need a small reprieve, especially if she's five foot five, brunette, and has legs that go on for miles.

My prim and proper world is turned upside down when he walks into my college classroom, demanding attention with a single look, his braces and glasses at complete odds with his defined body and bad boy tattoos. From the first moment we connect, it’s like he’s daring me to live the life I’ve always craved, a life on the edge...not caring what others think.

Trey was only meant to be a distraction, someone I’d never see again. Turns out, the man starring in my wild fantasies is also occupying the desk next to mine. My experience with men tells me that he can’t be trusted, but my heart, and body, tells me something different. His demands for more weaken my resolve, and I find myself craving a man that’s over a decade my senior. I can’t escape the memories of our sizzling night together.... I don’t want to. He could be different, but was I willing to repeat my mistakes to find out?

From that very first night, when Erica fell into my lap, I wanted her. More than anything. I’m addicted to her. Those curves, that smart mouth...but most of all, the darkness she thinks she keeps hidden in her eyes. I’ve spent weeks trying to break down her walls, discover what she's hiding, but I'm keeping secrets of my own. When she finds out the truth, there is no turning back. I can't demand that she hear me out, when I’ve no idea where she is.

The lies from Harvard Academy's Elite had fallen upon deaf ears. With the truth revealed, Sam was the only person I could turn to and trust. But a girl once so broken was only bent. I returned stronger than before. The de Lacharrieres could play their silly little games and spew their lies. One thing remained true, I was getting free of my father's clutches. Even if that meant having to side with the enemy. The four guys who broke my heart with little white lies would have to heal me with their ugly dark truths.

Everyone thinks they know me...but they’re wrong. Fearless on the outside - a lie. I’m a fraud, hiding behind a mask of perfection. My reality very different. The captain. The leader. The Queen Bee. None of it real - all just an illusion. Perception is everything and I use it to get what I want, when I want, refusing to let anyone stand in my way. Until he shows me that he’s not the man I expected. He’s not just the quiet one...the innocent one. But the one to finally tear away the mask and look beneath the surface.

I never should have looked twice at her, let alone touched her. She was my stepsister. Forbidden in every way. And yet, I fell, and fell hard. But nothing worth fighting for is simple, and it’s going to turn our worlds upside down. Our love isn’t easy. It’s complicated, messy, and pushes all the boundaries. But it’s ours, and despite the pain and heartache, it might just be worth it in the end.

I have a plan - keep my head down, stay out of the way, and graduate. If I stick to it, I can escape and finally be free of my father's suffocating grip on my life. My plan does not include four stubborn, rich hot guys that just happen to run Harvard Academy. Brent, Cole, Tristan, and Axel are the top of the food chain. All the boys want to be them, and the girls want to be with them - except me. The thing about spoiled rich boys...they'll do anything to get what they want.

From best-selling author Melanie A. Smith comes the first book in a new series of steamy contemporary medical romance standalone novels about life lessons that break all the rules. Some lessons are more fun when learned the hard way.... What’s the first rule of nurse’s club? That’s right: Never date a doctor. Which Sasha Suvorin has no intention of doing anyway, since she’s a nurse at Rutherford Hospital by day and working on her master’s degree by night. Who has time for dating, much less dating someone you work with? Bad idea much?

Losing her nearly destroyed me. Reclaiming her is something I've waited years for. I can see it in her eyes, feel it in her touch. The desire, the temptation, she needs me just as much as I need her. But there's something else there, defiance. She’s never forgotten me, after all this time, but has she forgiven me? Turns out she's forgetting one thing...she’s mine. I'm not letting go this time.

I had the life most guys only dreamed about: The house, the parties, the girls... until one girl showed up and ruined it all. She doesn’t belong here. Not in the bedroom across the hall. Not in my house. Not in my town. And certainly not in my life. It wasn’t really her fault...or mine. We were caught up in the sins of our parents. She thinks she’s strong, but she doesn’t have a clue as to what I’m capable of. My name is Savage after all. I will break her.... But uncovering her secrets just might destroy me.

Scott Sullivan is the epitome of a turnoff with his bad-boy attitude and player ways. But his games won’t work with me. I’d have run a mile already if we didn’t have to work together. But everything changes when a surprise package arrives for him and he’s forced to alter his lifestyle in the blink of an eye. I soon discover that his man-whore ways are just a cover because underneath the mask is a beautifully broken man craving a connection.

Craving her was wrong...losing her was a necessity. What we had was real, but it's over. Ancient history. She was under my skin, but I was under her dad's roof. He warned me to stay away, but I couldn't. We risked everything, and I lost it all, to protect us both. Now I'm empty, and it's all too clear what's missing. Or, rather, who. None of the women who warm my bed can ever fill the void inside my shattered heart.

I thought I had it all, until I met her...but she only exists in my dreams, so please don't wake me. We live a lifetime together in my dreams, but every morning when I wake up, she is gone. She's always there just beyond my reach. To me, she is more than just a dream. I just have to find her in reality, and then, we can be together forever. She is my dream lover. Some say true love in a dream is your mind compensating for the love you can’t find in reality. But I wasn’t looking.
