Лайла Джеймс — новинки

They say happy endings come after marriage. But my marriage to Julianna was anything but pretty and happy. Our beginning was tainted with lies and deceit.

We were poison until we found the cure.

The truth liberated us from our hate, and we found our happy ending.

Or I thought so…

Leaving our past behind has proven to be difficult when we’re surrounded by evil. Gracelynn’s death still haunts Julianna and she’s trapped in a never-ending cycle of nightmares. And me? I’m shackled by the unspoken fear of losing her again.

Julianna’s father asked me: How far will I go to protect my wife?

As far as I need to go.

The world asked me: What will I give up for my wife?

Everything.

“Once upon a time…”

Hate consumed him.
Love wrecked me.
That night changed both our lives, turning our beginning into something toxic. We were poison together and there was no antidote.

Our story began like any other fairy tale ended.
With a beautiful wedding.
One kiss.
Two rings.
Three vows.
Killian Spencer became my lawfully wedded husband and I, his dutiful wife.

But he was no Prince Charming. He didn’t come to save me… and he vowed there would be no happily ever after.
And me?

Just like the legends I'd read as a little girl, I always thought I’d be the princess in my fairy tale.
Well, I was the villain of our love story.

“Till death do us part…”

I’m about to break a promise I swore I never would.

Maddox Coulter is every girl's wet dream: popular jock, rich enough to buy a town and a modern day casanova with a dirty smirk.

He’s also my former enemy turned friend turned lover.

I wish I could say he wants me, but everything’s so muddled under the fact he has no choice.

He needs me.

When one night of untamed passion has us dangling over the edge of something dangerous, we both know just how quickly a fall could break us. Forever.

But even with our hearts on the line, Maddox is keeping secrets.

I vowed to never give up on him, but I'm not sure he's the same man I fell in love with anymore.

I'm scared he'd leave my heart bleeding at his feet.

And worse, what if we go back to...

... hating each other?

Someone should have told me to never accept a dare from my nemesis. Especially one you want to sleep with.

Then again, it’s not like I would have listened.


Maddox Coulter. Reckless bad boy. Infamous playboy. My nemesis.

And now my best friend.

I know he’ll never leave me hanging, and he knows I'll never refuse a dare.

But that’s all this is. Nothing more.

Until it is…

For one of us, anyway.

I've always known he would be my downfall, but I trusted him to catch me.

Guess I was wrong again.

Now Maddox has gone too far, and I don’t know if I want to rein him in or push us further into dangerous territory.

The choice is taken from me, however, when he tells me those three little words that I crave.

Three little words I want from no one else.

"I dare you."

Except this time, it's no simple dare.

This one could burn us to the ground

I lived in the darkness for so long. No life. No choice. The Devil owned me, body and soul - but not my heart. It was the only part of me which could never be claimed... ...or so I thought. Viktor weaved his way into my heart and imprinted on my soul. He made it clear he was there to stay. Even when the darkness blinded us, he never left my side. What we share was sweet, untamed and wild. But it was forbidden, dangerous, and the outcome would only be painful. A game is being played. The arena is a bloodbath, and the Game Masters are brutal. In the end, only one will survive. Only one King will be left standing.

My life only has one purpose, and it's to protect them—my family. Whether I fight, maim, or kill the enemy, it makes no difference to me. If have to take a bullet for my family, I would embrace death with a goddamn smile on my face. When their safety is compromised, I put my life on the line and made a deal with the devil. I never questioned it, not even once... ...Until her. All it takes is one glance. With her pretty eyes now imprinted on my soul, the foundation my life has been built on is shifting. My loyalty has become hazy, and my life has a new meaning. There's a pull between us that's undeniable, and a carnal desire that…

I am going to find him and break him like he broke her. I made a vow to my Angel. I promised to let her fly…I promised to save her soul. And I never break my vows.

Ayla The darkness never truly left me. It’s always there, waiting for the right moment to strike. It’s been months since I ran away from the nightmare that was slowly killing me. I ran for my life, straight into the arms of a man who I thought would be worse than the nightmare I’d left behind. Little did I know he’d become my savior. But my happy ending was ripped away from me in a blink of an eye. I had everything…and I lost everything. Alessio I didn’t believe in angels. But then I saw her. I touched her. I kissed her. I made love to her. In return, she saved my soul. I was no longer unlovable, because my Angel found…

Alessio… Cold. Ruthless. Killer. I am respected and feared by all. I wasn’t put on this earth to love or be loved. I was put here to wipe out every last member of the damn Abandonato mafia, to pay them back for my mother’s death. When I find a strange girl hiding, beaten, under my bed, I don’t let her live out of compassion. She’s a trinket, my plaything. Ayla… I thought Alessio was only one more man who wanted to use me, hurt me, and throw me away. I don’t know what it is to trust anymore. I can’t find my heart under the pain. Alessio found it.
