Tainted Love Collection 1

Wild

Cade

After six years, I'm back in the town I swore I'd never return to—and back to Lanie, the woman I never stopped loving. I know she has every reason to hate me. I left without a word, without even a goodbye. But I had my reasons, ones that still haunt me. My scars that run deep, reminders that a man like me isn’t worthy of someone as kind and good as Lanie. But now I’m back, staying away from her seems impossible.

Lanie

Cade's sudden disappearance shattered me. I spent years trying to erase the memory of his lips, his touch, and the future we almost had. But now he's back, and every emotion I buried is clawing its way to the surface. I want to hate him, to protect myself from the pain he left behind, but my heart has other ideas. Can we finally face the past together, or are we doomed to remain broken?

Dirty

Daryl

Nothing could have prepared me for Trish. From the moment I saw her, she stole my breath with her natural beauty and quiet warmth, pulling me in like gravity. I keep telling myself she’s off-limits, that I have to stay focused. But I can’t seem to stay away. Her emerald eyes, killer smile, and irresistible curves are impossible to ignore, even when I know getting close could put us both in serious danger. I’ve got a job to do, and I can’t afford any mistakes—especially not one that leads me straight to her.

Trish

The instant Daryl walked into the diner, he awakened something in me I thought was gone forever. His tall, lean frame and icy blue eyes spark desires I haven’t felt in years, and his intense gaze promises things I can barely imagine. But when I uncover the truth about why he’s here, my world shatters. Giving my heart to a man like him could destroy me… yet my heart doesn’t seem to care.

Hard

Blake

After a brutal breakup, I swore off real relationships. One-night stands and no-strings flings? That’s my game now. But then a curvy siren stumbles into my arms at a costume party, sparking something I thought I'd buried for good. When she vanishes, I can’t let her go, tracking her down to offer an arrangement I thought would keep things simple. Yet one taste of her sweet lips, and I’m hooked. One night won’t be enough—I need her for a lifetime.

Annie

Blake’s offer is dangerously tempting, and the chemistry between us is undeniable. But my past isn’t so easily shaken, and letting him close could reopen wounds I’ve tried to heal. Still, the way he makes me feel has me questioning everything. Am I willing to risk it all for a future I thought was out of reach? One that just might include him?
