Dark Paradise
Page 32
Quinton once got a second chance at life—but he doesn’t want it. The tattoos on his chest are a constant reminder of what he’s done, what he’s lost. He’s sworn to never allow happiness into his life…but then beautiful, sweet Nova makes him smile. He knows he’s too damaged to get close to her, yet she’s the only one who can make him feel alive again. Quinton will have to decide: Does he deserve to start over? Or should he pay for his past forever?
Reya Sinclair is the last person a man sees before he dies. As a Redeemer, she offers the soon-to-be-departed one last chance to atone for their sins. It’s a painful job, but it’s her only shot to secure her own salvation. She won’t let anyone stand in her way—not even a ruggedly sexy cop hot on her trail. Bound by her duty, Reya must shake him before he ruins her…but her heart can’t seem to let him go.
Detective Thane Driscoll has watched too many criminals get away. The man who murdered his father was no exception. Now Thane carries out his own brand of justice, even if it means compromising his soul. When a string of deaths leads him to a beautiful woman in black, he discovers there’s more to his father’s murder than meets the eye.
As fate brings them closer together, Thane discovers that only Reya’s touch can calm his rage. Racing to uncover an evil plot, they must fight together to stop the coming storm. But when the time comes, can Reya sacrifice her own redemption to save Thane?
One year ago, Ellie made the mistake of a lifetime: She fell in love with a man who is a bitter enemy of her people. A Red Dragon shifter, the handsome Kirin was at once forbidden and irresistible. Now Ellie’s mother has disappeared and everyone, including Ellie, believes that Kirin is responsible. His dangerous secret endangers her mother and makes Ellie lose faith in love forever…
Summoned home when his own father goes missing, Kirin must track down the very man who cost him his chance at happiness. When he discovers that Ellie’s father has vanished as well, Kirin knows that he and Ellie must combine his Dragon power with her magick to find the ones they loved and lost.
But as they feel their old desires flare up again, can their burning passion overcome their past—or the danger that the future holds?
Grace King fell in love with Jax Anderson, her big brother’s best friend, when she was six years old. Eleven-year-old Jax came to her rescue when some older boys were bullying her, becoming Grace’s knight in scuffed-up sneakers on the spot.
Eighteen years later, Jax is the town sheriff and Grace is the head baker at her grandmother’s café. They are all grown up—and still pretending there’s nothing between them. But when a heated argument at the Sleepy Sheep bar turns into a heated make-out session, the days of denying their attraction are over.
Now the whole town is buzzing about Jax and Grace, and not all the buzz is good. Grace’s family is no stranger to scandal, and when a new secret about her parents is revealed, not even Jax can protect her. As the rumors and accusations fly, can they hold on to their new relationship?
