As the youngest Ravage brother, I’ve spent too much time partying and drinking away my life. Now that I’m sober, I’ve learned to channel my need for control. And I share my knowledge online, as a masked persona. The last person I expect to message me is Layla, the daughter of the man my mom married.

Behind the mask, I teach her the art of surrender—and she’s eager to learn every lesson.

If a no-strings hookup is required, then I'm the perfect guy. When I meet Danny, I can't believe my luck. A sexy wolf shifter who's also a fireman? Who runs from relationships just as fast as I do?

Without even realizing it, we become friends. Friends who do everything together. Everything with Danny is perfect, but when I start to yearn for more from my hookups, I know something needs to change.

My people have been hunted to extinction by dragons. I am the last of my kind. Forever running. Forever alone. Then I met him. Dangerous. Carnal. Dragon. And utterly magnetic.

She's determined to move on from her toxic past with a fresh start in a new city, but starting over isn't as easy as it sounds. Anthony "Nuney" Nunez is young.

But then my ex-girlfriend hired a mind-bender to mess with my memories, and well, it's no surprise that romantic notions flew out of the window for me.
