He’s the big bad wolf in a bespoke suit... There’s nothing Wes Thorne can’t have, no woman he can’t possess with a single crook of his finger, except for a sweet, innocent cowgirl from Colorado. When he first meets Callie, Wes knows his days of womanizing are over, she’s the one for him, but there’s just one problem. She’s in love with his childhood friend who just happens to be engaged to Wes’s little sister. What’s a man to do, but offer Callie her dreams of becoming an artist? He sweeps her away to Paris to seduce her and let her explore her artistic talents. He vows to make her forget all about her broken heart by showing her how wicked she can be with him. But when a dangerous art thief sets his sights on her, Wes won’t hesitate to protect the woman who holds his heart. She’s wanted nothing more in her life than to be an artist... Callie Taylor is a small-town girl but she has big dreams...and dark hungers. She’s never felt like she truly fit in with the cozy little community she was born into. When an intimidating, yet utterly gorgeous man shows up on her doorstep promising her everything she’s always wanted, she knows it’s too good to be true. The way he’s looking at her, like a wolf stalking little red riding hood, she starts to wonder if maybe she wants to be caught, seduced, and captivated by him. Wes is like no one she’s ever known. He’s brooding, intense, and yet there’s a softness inside him, a need to be loved, and it makes him irresistible. Surely one trip to Paris won’t hurt?

He’s a bull rider with a dark secret and even darker desires... Fenn Lockwood is in for the fight of his life after being tossed from a bull when he sees a beautiful bombshell red-head in a killer dress kick off her heels and runs to his rescue. Determined to find that gorgeous girl and give her a piece of his mind for nearly getting herself killed, he can’t help but picture doing other things with her too. When she shows up at his trailer telling him he’s some long-lost heir to a rich East Coast family, all he wants to do is lay her flat beneath him and give her something else to think about than the past. The past has only ever caused Fenn pain and he'd much rather kiss this feisty woman and show her just what it means to let a man tame her like a wild mustang. She’s a socialite who wants to be seen as something more than a pretty face. Hayden Thorne is rich, beautiful, and smart. But to the world, she’s nothing more than a girl whose only value is marrying and marrying rich. But she wants more from life, she has dreams, big dreams of running a business all her own and the only person who believes in her is her older brother Wes. When Hayden overhears that her brother’s best friend from childhood who was kidnapped and never seen again, may be living in Colorado, she drops everything and goes on a quest to bring back the Gold Coast’s long-lost golden boy. But when she comes face to face with Fenn for the first time, she falls hard and fast for the rough-and-tumble cowboy who knows just how she likes to play. When he removes his leather belt to bind her hands, she fairly melts. But the past is catching up with them, and old dangers are once again coming for Fenn. He may not be lucky enough to escape this time...

With his hauntingly beautiful eyes and god-like body, he invades her dreams, spinning sensual encounters that leave her aching and breathless. But he, like the others of his kind, is dangerous. With impossible speed and strength, wielding incredible intelligence and advanced technology, the Krinar control this planet and every human on it. Bianca should want nothing to do with Soren.
