I don't like to be touched. I'm the hacker-geek-goddess of the FBI. When I'm hiding behind my screen, I'm a safe distance from everyone; isolated, powerful. No man has ever touched me, but when I'm captured by Colombian drug lord Andrés Moreno, I no longer have the right to refuse. He's scarred and scary, and his cruel brother Cristian has tasked him with breaking me. I try to fight, but I can't escape his strong arms and harsh discipline. He demands that I accept his touch, and my virgin body can't help but respond to his masterful manipulations.

My ordinary life as a college sophomore becomes extraordinary when Joseph storms into my world and sweeps me off my feet. Our intense connection seems too impossible to be real, like a wonderful dream. Until it becomes a nightmare.

I was meant to be theirs: Joseph, my sweet first love, and Marco, his sternly intimidating best friend. I know they're dangerous men, but being with them doesn't feel wrong. When they hold me in their arms, I feel safe, cherished. I'm still their captive, but I'm no longer certain if I want to be free of them.

My ordinary life as a college sophomore becomes extraordinary when Joseph storms into my world and sweeps me off my feet. Our intense connection seems too impossible to be real, like a wonderful dream. Until it becomes a nightmare. Drugged. Kidnapped. When I wake up, I find myself trapped in the arms of the man who was supposed to be my fierce protector. My sweet first love is a criminal, the son of a powerful mafia boss. And his best friend, Marco—the terrifying, heavily muscled man who abducted me—is a brutal enforcer.

I betrayed the cartel. Now, he’ll make sure I can never leave it. To keep me in line, I’ll be forced to spend my eternity with a ruthless criminal. If only I hadn’t harbored a traitorous, girlish crush for years. If only the way he makes me tremble wasn’t equal parts fear and desire. If only that stern black stare didn’t make my knees weak. It would be so much easier to defy him. My unyielding jailor. My husband. My forever.

Mit diesen vier Worten macht mir mein Chef ein Geschenk: Die Erlaubnis, die Frau zu entführen und zu behalten, die ich seit Jahren begehrte. Seit wir Teenager waren, habe ich mein Verlangen nach Sofia verleugnet. Obwohl ihr Vater an der Leitung unseres Kokainimperiums beteiligt ist, hat Caesar Hernandez sie sorgfältig vor den brutalen Realitäten unserer Welt abgeschottet. Sie war immer viel zu unschuldig und rein gewesen, als dass ich sie aus ihrem verzauberten Leben in mein verdorbenes hätte ziehen wollen.

Meine geliebte kleine Schwester wurde mir genommen, als wir noch Kinder waren. Mein sadistischer Bruder hatte sie verkauft, um Schulden der Familie zu begleichen. Damals war ich noch zu jung, als dass ich sie hätte retten können. Und zu schwach. Jetzt zeichnen zwar Narben meinen Körper, aber ich bin stärker als je zuvor. Mit meinem klugen Kätzchen an meiner Seite bin ich zu allem fähig. Samantha hat endlich meine verloren geglaubte Schwester Valentina ausfindig gemacht.

Valentina verabscheut mich ebenso sehr wie ich sie. Das hält mich aber nicht davon ab, sie zu entführen und sie für mich zu stehlen. Während der Jahre, in denen wir getrennt waren, hat Hass für sie an meinem Herzen gefressen. Das Mädchen, das ich einst geliebt habe, ist jetzt eine Frau, die glaubt, jemand anderem zu gehören. Ich strebe als berüchtigtster Drogenbaron der Westküste nach Macht und Kontrolle. Ihr offener Widerstand quält mich, und ich werde niemals müde, abwegige Bestrafungen zu ersinnen, damit sie nicht aus der Reihe tanzt.

Meine süße Gefangene mag es nicht, berührt zu werden. Sie wird es lernen. Sie hat nicht länger das Recht, sich zu weigern. Sie zuckt beim Anblick meines vernarbten Gesichts zusammen, aber die Art und Weise, wie sie wimmert und zittert, lässt in mir ein perverses Vergnügen aufkommen. Ich habe die kleine FBI-Agentin gefangen genommen, als sie versuchte, mein Drogenimperium zu Fall zu bringen, und das kann ich nicht zulassen. Meine hübsche Geisel ist etwas stur und hat einen scharfen Verstand, aber ihr kluges Gehirn ist meinem eisernen Willen nicht gewachsen.

Ich mag es nicht, berührt zu werden. Ich bin die Hacker-Nerd-Göttin des FBIs. Wenn ich mich hinter meinem Monitor verstecke, habe ich einen sicheren Abstand zu allen anderen; isoliert, mächtig.

Er hat eine Narbe und ist angsteinflößend, aber sein grausamer Bruder Cristian hat ihm aufgetragen, mich zu brechen. Ich versuche zu flüchten, aber ich kann seinen starken Armen und der strengen Disziplin nicht entkommen.

FBI agent Dex Scott is sexy as sin and completely off-limits. After what my bastard ex-husband put me through, I'm not interested in intimacy of any kind. But the chemistry between us is undeniable, and when Dex makes it clear that he wants to help with my research in the field and in the bedroom, I can't resist.

He won't relent until he breaks down all my walls, including the ones that protect my ravaged heart. 

Dexter Scott is in love. The only problem is, Katie is falling for another man. As his heart breaks, he turns to sex as his drug of choice to numb the pain. Can Dex learn to let go of his feelings for Katie, or will his obsession cause him to miss out on his chance to find true love?

Only I might get a lot more than I bargained for. It's not the gang that worries me most; it's domineering FBI Agent Kennedy Carver who makes me quiver inside. When I discover his unique sexual proclivities, I might have a bigger story than the Pagans: The Secret World of BDSM.

I've waited far too long to claim Carmen for myself.

Ever since we were teenagers, I've denied my desire for Sofia. Despite her father's involvement in running our cocaine empire, Caesar Hernández has carefully sheltered her from the brutal realities of our world. She's always been far too innocent and pure for me to drag her out of her charmed life and into my depravities. But Caesar chose to betray my ruthless boss, Adrián Rodríguez.

As the most notorious, sadistic drug lord on the West Coast, I thrive on power and control. Valentina loathes me as much as I despise her. That doesn't stop me from kidnapping her, stealing her away for myself. Over the years that have separated us, hatred has festered in my heart.

She flinches at the sight of my scarred face, but the way she whimpers and trembles makes perverse pleasure stir within me.

Samantha is mine to keep and protect. Mine to play with and punish. All mine.

Guarding my lovely hostage has become my obsession. I protect Marisol from the vicious men in my brutal cartel, including myself. I've kept the promise I made to my boss on the night of her capture: No one touches her.
