Let the hot, winter nights ensue in this steamy dark romance from New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas, now with bonus material. Tiernan de Haas doesn't care about anything anymore. The only child of a film producer and his starlet wife, she's grown up with wealth and privilege but not love or guidance. And when her parents suddenly pass away, she knows she should be devastated.

A lány ugrik a lehetőségre, és vállalja, hogy cserébe segít a ház körül. Ám arra nem számít, hogy a szíve minden alkalommal egyre hevesebben ver majd, amikor a barátja apja, Pike behajt a kocsifelhajtóra. Vagy elpirul, amikor a reggelizőasztalnál találkozik a tekintetük. Pike kedves, meghallgatja őt, és úgy védelmezi a lányt, ahogyan eddig még egyetlen férfi sem. A nővére egyszer azt mondta neki, hogy már nem léteznek jó férfiak, és ha netán talál is egyet, valószínűleg elérhetetlen lesz. Jordan arra viszont nem számított, hogy pont ő lesz foglalt, amikor találkozik álmai pasijával. Ahogy telnek a napok, Pike egyre nehezebben viseli, hogy Jordan a házában lakik. Nem tud nem gondolni rá, és visszatartja a lélegzetét minden alkalommal, amikor az útjuk keresztezi egymást. Úgy érzi, mintha Jordan és ő összetartoznának. De tudja, hogy nem szabad engednie a kísértésnek. Hogy is tehetné, amikor Jordan a fia barátnője? Ráadásul a lány csak 19 éves, ő pedig 38… A szerelmük tiltott, de néha a bűnös dolgok okozzák az életünkben a legnagyobb boldogságot... Fiatal nőknek, felső korhatár nélkül!

Ale změnilo se vlastně vůbec něco? Vždycky přece byla osamělá. Protože Tiernan bude plnoletá až za dva měsíce, stává se jejím poručníkem otcův nevlastní bratr Jake Van der Berg. Tiernan se za ním a jeho syny Noahem a Kalebem musí odstěhovat do odlehlých coloradských hor. Všichni tři ji nakonec vezmou pod svá křídla a ona mezi nimi pomalu najde své místo. Také si však uvědomí, že hranice se stírají a pravidla se snadno porušují, když se nikdo nedívá. Jeden z nich ji má. Druhý ji chce. Ale on… On si ji nechá.

Čakali sme. Boli sme trpezliví. A teraz sa splní každá jej nočná mora. Erika Povedali mi, že sny sú túžby nášho srdca. Moje nočné mory sa však stali mojou posadnutosťou. Volá sa Michael Crist. Starší brat môjho priateľa je ako ten strašidelný film, na ktorý sa pozeráte cez prsty. Je príťažlivý, silný a úplne desivý. Hviezda vysokoškolského basketbalového tímu a teraz už profesionál, ktorého viac ako ja zaujíma špina na jeho topánke. Ja som si ho však všimla. Videla som ho. Počula som ho. Veci, ktoré robil, a to, čo skrýval... Celé roky som od neho nebola neschopná odvrátiť zrak. Teraz som skončila strednú a prešla na vysokú, ale Michaela som neprestala sledovať. Je skazený a nemravnosti, ktoré som videla, už nechcú zostať len v mojej hlave. Pretože si ma konečne všimol. Michael Volá sa Erika Faneová, ale všetci ju volajú Rika. Priateľka môjho brata vyrastala v mojom dome a jedávala pri našom stole. Keď vstúpim do miestnosti, sklopí zrak a zastane, keď som blízko. Vždy cítim, ako sa z nej valí strach, a hoci som sa nedostal k jej telu, viem, že mám jej myseľ. To je aj tak všetko, čo naozaj chcem. Až kým môj brat neodíde do armády a ja nenájdem Riku samu na vysokej škole. V mojom meste. Bez ochrany. Je to až príliš dobré na to, aby to bolo pravdivé, rovnako ako načasovanie. Pretože pred tromi rokmi dostala do väzenia niekoľko mojich kamarátov zo strednej a oni sú teraz vonku. Varovanie: kniha obsahuje citlivé témy: sexuálne napadnutie, opakované vyhrážanie, smrť rodičov, znásilnenie, zneužívanie detí, zmienky o inceste, únos.

She's the daughter of Jared Trent. He's the son of Madoc Caruthers... Kade and Hunter Caruthers. Brothers. Twins. My cousins. In a way, they're my family. Protective. Indulgent. My best friends. But there was something else there, too. That ever-present whisper that reminded me more as I got older that we didn't actually share any blood. They used to be inseparable. We all were, but not anymore. I don't know why Hunter left or why he joined a rival team in Weston, the Rebel town across the river, to stand on the opposite side of the field from his brother, but Kade is out for blood now and Hunter has finally decided to engage. Rivalry Week. Parades. Parties. Pranks . . . and the Prisoner Exchange. Weston will send a hostage to our school, and in return they're taking me. I'm Hunter's for two weeks. In a dilapidated brownstone on a nearly abandoned street with almost no supervision. Ten days in an enemy school. Fourteen nights in a town full of bullies with no curfews and no rules. And Hunter has no intention of protecting his little cousin anymore. The Pirates will come for me. How can they not? A Pirate never sits out on the fun. But I never needed protection or rescue, because a Pirate never runs, either. *PIRATE GIRLS is book two of the Hellbent series. It is a new adult romance suitable for readers 18+ and contains harsh language, violence, and sexual situations. Reading the Fall Away series prior to this is helpful, but not necessary.

Away games, back seats, and the locker room after hours.... Get ready! Clay: Marymount girls are good girls. We're chaste, we're untouched, and even if we weren't, no one would know, because we keep our mouths shut. Not that I have anything to share anyway. I never let guys go too far. I'm behaved. Beautiful, smart, talented, popular, my skirt's always pressed, and I never have a hair out of place. I own the hallways, walking tall on Monday and dropping to my knees like the good Catholic girl I am on Sunday. That's me. Always in control. Or so they think. The truth is that it's easy for me to resist them, because what I truly want, they can never be. Something soft and smooth. Someone dangerous and wild. Unfortunately, what I want I have to hide. In the locker room after hours. In the bathroom stall between classes. In the showers after practice. My head swimming. My hand up her skirt. For me, life is a web of secrets. No one can find out mine. Olivia: I cross the tracks every day for one reason - to graduate from this school and get into the Ivy League. I'm not ashamed of where I come from, my family, or how everyone at Marymount thinks my skirts are too short and my lipstick is too red. Clay Collins and her friends have always turned up their noses at me. The witch with her beautiful skin, clean shoes, and rich parents who torments me daily and thinks I won't fight back. At least not until I get her alone and find out she's hiding so much more than just what's underneath those pretty clothes. The princess thinks I'll scratch her itch. She thinks she's still pure as long as it's not a guy touching her. I told her to stay on her side of town. I told her not to cross the tracks. But one night, she did. And when I'm done with her, she'll never be pure again.
