Gray Hartson is coming home after years of playing to sold-out stadiums around the world. The tattooed singer is determined to build bridges with his sick father and reconnect with the family he left behind. But then he meets her . . . the beautiful waitress with the smart mouth who makes him laugh more than he has in years. One small problem. She’s his ex-girlfriend’s little sister. The only woman he can’t have. Maddie Clark was an awkward teenager when Gray left. Now she slings hash in a backwater diner, her dreams of being a famous concert pianist left in tatters. Don’t ask her why. She’ll never tell. Strong women do what it takes to keep a roof over their heads. Until he walks through the door and complicates everything. Their attraction is wrong. But foolish hearts never listen to reason. Maybe he should write a song about that.

All I wanted to do was run away, I never expected to crash into his arms… After leaving the city life behind to escape my loveless marriage, I moved to small town Havenbarrow for a fresh start. What I didn’t expect was to find myself drawn to the town’s black sheep. They called him troubled. Cold. A man with a dark past. What everyone seemed to miss about Jax was the splashes of light in his eyes. The random acts of kindness he performed when no one was watching. The way he made me smile and laugh. Jax helped unpack the baggage I’d been carrying around with me. He was patient with my pain and gentle with my scars. He was the stillness during my hurricane. Yet when both of our pasts come back to haunt our present days, we realized quickly that sometimes love stories didn’t end the way we’d hoped. Sometimes you were left with only the damage from the storm. A painting, a panic room, a thief, and her lover … whose job is to catch her. There are three things you need to know about Anna. 1) She’s a bounty hunter with adrenaline junkie habits, 2) She’s the “awkward” twin, and 3) She’s a thief – kind of. Darius designs security systems for Cipher Security, and the strange and remarkable woman he met the night the painting was stolen is as intriguing a mystery as his hunt for the thief is. But the lady has no filter, and she knows she can’t lie to the man who looks like a Disney Prince and kisses like fairytales are true, so she runs from the one person who may actually see her as the heroine of her own story. My biggest mistake was seeking out Noah. He wants to own me. Ruin me. He took me to his home, a community he rules called ‘The Family’. Just so I could become his wife. When I find out who he truly is … who I’m supposed to be… I run. But this man is no man you could ever run from. This man will come to claim my heart… forever. Beyond His Control is the sequel to the exciting Dark Romance & Psychological Suspense Under His Rule by New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Clarissa Wild. This is the last installment in this duet. WARNING: This book includes scenes that may be disturbing to some readers. Derrick I'd been fighting all my life. Making it my career choice seemed...logical. Sticking to what I was good at seemed...illogical as often as I ended up in the ER. Then my occupational hazard began to feel like more of a perk when I met, Katy. She was a night nurse at the ER I frequented. She could barely hide her contempt for me, which naturally made the curvy brunette with long wavy hair all the more irresistible.

There's no way it would work. I was on the run and still healing from a relationship with a 'roid-raging powerlifter. No way was I going to give it a go with someone trained to cause pain for a living. Then my ex tracked me down. And suddenly, having a fighter in my corner didn't seem like such a bad idea. I used his body to forget the pain until the line we drew was buried under muddied water. I used to believe in three things: That true love only existed once, heartbreak couldn’t kill you, and everything happened for a reason. But if that were true, I never would have watched Daniel McCray get married to another woman, have a beautiful baby girl, and pass away before my very eyes. Everything I believed was a lie. Until I met them. |
