A Dark and Sexy, Enemies-to-Lovers, Step-Sibling Romance from USA Today and International Bestselling Author, Rachel Leigh.
Rome Cromwell isn’t just football royalty in our town.
He’s a heartless monster out for revenge,
And I’m the ordinary girl with his target on her back.
One year ago my knight in shining armor stepped out of the fog and rescued me.
With a simple thank you and an “I owe you one”, I was on my way.
Little did I know, that was only the start of our deranged story.
Now our parents are married and we’re living under the same roof.
My new step-brother presents himself as a masked villain with strikingly good looks and a hypnotic appeal.
Girls want him.
His friends want to be him.
But I only want to run from him.
I see beneath his cracked facade into the heart of the beast.
Rome blames me for the fight that left his football career in shambles.
And he hasn’t forgotten I’m in his debt.
Now his claws are digging in so deep, I fear I won’t survive.
It’s not long before I realize,
Rome no longer wants to save me.
He only wants to own me.
To break me.
Piece by piece by piece.

Wilder Cromwell is pure temptation in a delicious package.

He’s also my student.

He’s more than just a face in my class.
He’s the man who came to my rescue on one of my darkest nights.
Wilder has become a safe haven against my husband’s monstrous brutality.
Being with him is an escape from the cage my life has become.
With him I’m adored and I’m safe—two feelings I’ve never felt before.
But one mistake, on one unforgettable night, changes the course of my fate.
Or maybe, it just put me on the path I was always meant to be on.
Wilder and I might be wrong to the universe, but in his arms, nothing has ever felt so right.

BEAUTIFUL DEVIL
Two sports collide when a feisty sideline cheerleader meets her match in an arrogant hockey player who is more than just his bad boy reputation.
I fell for the wrong Devil…
Hayes Madden was never on my dance card. He’s an egotistical jock who plays for the Devil’s hockey team —not to mention, he’s my boyfriend’s biggest rival.
His sculpted abs and charm do nothing for me. Besides, I’m a cheerleader, not a puck bunny.
When a very graphic video of me and my ex is sent to the entire student roster at Rosewood-U, rumors quickly spread and, to my surprise, Hayes is my unlikely knight in shining armor.
Before long, I find myself falling for the hidden side of him he doesn’t let anyone else see.
It’s time for me to learn if this is all a strategic act of revenge against his nemesis, or if Hayes really is the beautiful devil I’ve fallen for.
