Penelope Sky

I owe him a debt. A big one. The payment can't be settled with money or favors. He only wants one thing. Me. Every action gets a reward. A button. Once I fill his jar with three hundred and sixty-five buttons, he'll let me go. He'll let me walk away. But I have to earn every single one. By submitting to the darkest, cruelest, and most beautiful man I've ever known. ** TRIGGER WARNING ** There are some dark and disturbing scenes of abuse and punishment.

My father has chosen me to succeed him in the family business. But if I want the job, it comes with stipulations. And one of those stipulations is to never mix business with pleasure. AKA, don't sleep with anyone on the job. My father leads by example, and not once have I ever seen him get involved with anyone, not even his beautiful assistant. That was an easy rule to follow...until Axel. Axel is an expert distributor, someone who knows how to get our product past the ruthless regulations mandated by the government. My father has never had a partner, but he makes an exception for Axel because he's good at what he does. But the second our eyes meet...there's fire. He's by far the most handsome man I've ever seen, and his I couldn't care less attitude makes me weak. But I put up boundaries and reject his advances. But this man doesn't stop until he gets what he wants.

I was twenty-one when the gypsy read my future: As punishment for your crimes, you will only love one woman...but she'll never love you back. I didn't believe a word of it. Until I met Sofia Romano almost ten years later. I fell hard for this woman. Would die for this woman. But she left me. Now years have passed and Sofia needs a husband. Her father is gone and her mother is trying to marry her off to a man that can protect their family, protect their company. She's looking for someone powerful. Check. Someone rich. Check. Someone handsome. Double check. Now it's my chance to have the only woman I've ever loved...and I'll make sure she feels the same way. I have a lifetime to make that happen.

London is a lot more useful than I anticipated. She gets me what I need like a pro. With her by my side, I feel like I can do anything. My need for revenge is dimmed. My anger is contained. But her brother is still a problem. She wants me to let him go. I'm not sure if I can.

Till Death Do Us Part.My father has a lot of enemies, and after his terminal diagnosis, he has to marry me off to someone powerful enough to protect me after he’s gone. He chooses Maverick De Ville—a man that terrifies me. Rich and handsome, he doesn’t need an arranged marriage, but he does need something from my father—and marrying me is the only way to get it. We equally detest the situation—but there’s no other option.He's not what I pictured for my husband. He’s cold, calloused, and cruel. He rules his men with an iron first. He says very little, especially to me. But he’s made one thing very clear. “When people look into the darkness, they see shadows, but I see monsters. And I kill the monsters that hunt my sheep.” His job is to protect me—and he does that very well.But the longer I spend time with this enigmatic man…the more I like him. My wellbeing is his first priority, and he supports me in every way imaginable. He’s the foundation where I stand. He’s the eyes in the back of my head. The wolf that protects me. And then he becomes the man in my bed…We agreed this was a business arrangement with no emotional attachment and he’s committed to upholding those terms. I thought feeling nothing for my husband would be easy, but I find myself falling for him with every passing day. Now I want something more than a marriage.I want love.Pick up the first installment of this dark romance bestseller 2023 now by clicking the BUY NOW button at the top of this page.

I knew a relationship with Cauldron wouldn't be easy. But I underestimated just how challenging it would be. How can you love someone that refuses to love you back? How can you love someone that betrays you not once, but twice?

All this time, I thought Cauldron was the answer to all my problems. But nope. Now he's a much bigger problem.

I'm working off my buttons. But I'm also giving them away. The more I fall for Crow, the more I want him to do the things that I want. Dinners, dates, and evenings at the beach. Everything comes at a price, and quickly the hoard of buttons I worked hard to earn are depleted. Will this go back and forth forever? Or will someone run out of their buttons first?

I found out my husband of three years had cheated on me and his mistress is the one who told me—because he didn’t have the balls to do it himself.I move out and get a new apartment, a job as a bartender, and try to move on with a broken heart. I wonder where it all went wrong, if I hadn’t been enough for him, if I’d been stupid for marrying him in the first place.I’m at work one night when he walks inside—the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. He sits at the bar and a forest fire burns between us. I was depressed the moment before he entered, but the second I look at his blue eyes, I forget the dumpster fire that my life has become. I invite him back to my place and it’s the most passionate night of my life. I expect to never see him again.I just want him as an anti-depressant—but he wants me all to himself. I just got my heart ripped out of my chest so I want something easy and no-strings-attached, but he wants all the strings because he’s hooked.I don’t get much of a say in the matter, and that’s not surprising when I learn why—because he’s the Butcher. The crime lord of all crime lords, the boss that overshadows all of Paris, that makes everyone abide by his rules—or pay.And now I’m his.

Two years of bitter loneliness have passed. The woman I love is now the woman I hate. I lose myself in beautiful women every night and tell myself that fortune reading was nothing but a scam. But then her mother asks me to marry her. I say yes. Now this woman will be mine forever. Maybe the prophecy really is true. I’m committing to a woman that will never love me in return. But it was better to be her husband than allow someone else to take my place. It was better to conquer her body every night than be lonely with someone else. Much better.

New York Times bestselling author Penelope Sky pens another dark and suspenseful masterpiece. Fender and Magnus have moved on from the camp. But someone else has moved in. The Cult. I see his wicked smile in the theatre. I see it in the apartment across from mine. I see it everywhere. Before I can run, I'm taken. And when I wake up...I'm in the middle of nowhere. The man who's taken me claims to be a demon. And claims I'm his angel. What happens when he finds out I don't have wings? I'm not the only prisoner in this forest. There's a little girl too. Her name is Claire. She's beautiful, happy, wonderful. It's my responsibility to protect her--and I will give my life to accomplish that. She says her father will save us both. She says he's powerful, formidable, that he'll burn this entire forest to get to her. I hope she's right. *** Claire is unharmed throughout this story. There is no violence against children of any kind. ***

My husband is cruel, ruthless, and despicable. I hate him with every fiber of my being. The only reason I haven't killed him or tried to run away is because of the promise I made. I sold myself to save someone I loved...and this is the price I have to pay. I was sitting alone in a bar when the most handsome man walked inside. Striking blue eyes, cheekbones as sharp as glass, and a muscular body fit for a war. He was gorgeous. I couldn't take my eyes off him. When he bought me a drink, I didn't say no. I'd been unfulfilled for so long, and I wanted a real man for the night. My husband had his affairs so why couldn't I? I noticed the peculiar ring on his right hand, a diamond carved into a skull. If only I'd known what that meant, I would have known who this man was. The Skull King. A man more cruel and ruthless than my own husband.

I sacrificed my relationship with Bartholomew to tell my father the truth—and he shot me. Bartholomew sacrificed everything to save me—while my father wouldn’t have hesitated to kill me if he didn’t get what he wanted. I made the wrong choice—lost the man that actually cared for me—and I can’t live with the consequences. I beg Bartholomew for another chance, but those pleas fall on deaf ears. After I made him look weak in front of his own men, there’s no way he could ever give me another chance. He should be able to trust his woman, his ride-or-die, the way he trusts his men. You only appreciate something when it’s gone—and now I realize I’ve lost the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Now that I have nothing left to lose, I decide to take down my father on my own. I coerce Victor into helping me, since he owes me, and I know the best way to get my father to drop his guard is by convincing him I have no ties to Bartholomew—by becoming engaged to Victor. Word travels fast, even all the way to Paris, and when I walk into my apartment I feel the seething hostility from my old lover before I see him. Bartholomew’s stare is deadly, his jealousy like poison in the air. “Looks like we have a lot to catch up on, sweetheart.” Pick up the next installment of this dark romance bestseller 2023 now by clicking the BUY NOW button at the top of this page.

With Roan out of the picture, I've taken Croatia and eastern Europe. Now it's time I take Italy as well. I just need to get rid of the Skull King. What better way to accomplish that than by using his daughter against him -- who happens to live right here in Paris. But my problem goes south the second I lay eyes on her. She's the perfect solution to all my troubles. All I have to do is put a knife to her throat to get what I want. The Skull King will cave. Italy will be mine. But that's the last thing I want to do.

And like always, that man fixes all my problems. But little do I know, the Aristocrats are out for Adrien. My ex continues to ignore the warnings that Bastien gives, only giving them out of a courtesy to me. It's not my problem, and if Adrien wants to get himself killed, that's his prerogative.

When Bolton asked for the open marriage I was revolted by it. But then I met Theo…and I didn’t know men like him could exist. Now he wants me all to himself. Do I forgive him…or do I stay?

I married you because I was in love with you. Those words have echoed in my mind ever since he said them, and despite the way my heart races for him every time he steps into the same room, I can't say it back. Not after he hurt me. Not after he betrayed me. Every time I feel us come close together, my heart pulls away. Every time I fantasize about our future children and growing old together, or just living in the moment during a romantic evening, I picture Cassandra walking by...replacing me. Axel wants to repair our broken relationship and be what we once were, but my resentment is constantly in the way. He says he has something to tell me, a secret I must take to the grave, a secret that could change my life forever... He says my father forced his hand, forced him to hurt me, forced him to march in there with Cassandra just so he could break us apart. Then he gives me an ultimatum. Believe him and give this marriage a real chance. Or don't believe him...and leave.

Axel betrayed me. As hard as I tried to keep him out of my heart, he broke through it like shattered glass. Even though my father didn't approve and our relationship would always be a secret, I didn't care. He was worth it...until he wasn't. Six months have passed, and that's exactly how long it's taken me to get over what he's done. I never see him at my father's estate. My father never mentions him. Like he never existed at all, he's wiped from the face of the earth. Until my father tells me he's going to stab Axel in the back and replace him with someone new. I know what a mistake that will be, but my warning falls on deaf ears. We finally come face to face for the first time. His ingenious plan knocks my father off his feet and he takes the business for his own. If my father wants it back, it's going to come at a price. A price that he won't have to pay--but I will. And that's to marry him.

He’s the only reason I’m still alive. I love my sister dearly, but she’s one of the reasons I moved across the world to Paris. I’ve been taking care of her since I was eighteen—and I don’t want to do it anymore. She comes for a visit during winter break, and of course, I’m pulled back into her shenanigans. But this time, it gets us trafficked into a labor camp. Now we’re in the wilderness, surrounded by a snow and nothingness, processing the drugs dropped by the Colombians. The weakest worker is sacrificed in the Red Snow every week, and if I don’t keep up with production I’ll be the next one to hang. I’ve tried to find an escape route—but there’s nothing. But then I meet Magnus—and he changes my odds. He’s my guard at the camp, but I can tell he’s important based on the way others treat him. He’s kind to me, bringing me extra food, books, and hot cocoa with little marshmallows on top—because that’s the way my mother used to make it. Unlike the others, I know he has a heart, but I can’t understand why he works in a place like this. He finally agrees to help me escape—but he wants something in return for risking his reputation. Me. Pick up your copy now by clicking the BUY NOW button at the top of this page. It’s also available for FREE in Kindle Unlimited.
