LEAVE ME BEHIND meets THE HANDMAID’S TALE in this star-crossed dystopian romance by the author of LOVE SICK, Deidra Duncan. In the ruins of a nation, two enemies risk everything for a chance at justice… and each other. After the Fracture, nothing is safe—not love, not truth, and certainly not women. In the ashes of the fallen United States, the New American Order has seized power, silencing dissent and enslaving the vulnerable. To stop the spread of their evil, Sophia Reeves has given everything to the Defiance, a resistance force battling the NAO, but now, her general has another become a contact for an enemy officer-turned-spy. She understands the sacrifice this order requires. Association with a Blood Colonel is a death sentence—especially for a woman. He’s just a name at first. A whisper in the dark. But week by week, Lucas Scott becomes something more—dangerously unreadable, brutally efficient, and far too human for a man embedded in a regime that breaks people like her. Sophia expects cruelty. She prepares for betrayal. What she finds is a man haunted by secrets, driven by grief, and willing to burn the whole world down for a hope he’s barely clinging to. Their alliance is a fragile one, forged in shadow and drenched in danger. But as the Defiance grows closer to victory, their missions become deadlier, and the line between duty and desire blurs. Beneath the shadow of escalating war, Sophia and Lucas must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice for a cause that might already be lost—and for a love they were never meant to find. Hauntingly raw and achingly romantic, UNTIL I DIE is a story of rebellion, redemption, and the unbreakable will to love in a world that has forgotten how.

The job is just three simple rules: Protect the mafia don’s granddaughter, make sure she has whatever she needs, and don’t go to bed with and wake up accidentally married to her. On second thought, there’s a chance those rules aren’t so simple after all… I’ve worked and bled my whole life to get to where I’m at as a captain in the Scaliami Syndicate. I’ve pulled no punches. I’ve suffered no BS, not from anyone. Now, I’m supposed to play bodyguard to a gorgeous, innocent, and very much off-limits mafia princess during her trip to the States. Lucia Scaliami is out of bounds, ill-advised; verboten. Not to mention, betrothed to some other mafia don’s a-hole of a son. Looking at her could cost an eye. Touching her could destroy an empire. I’m supposed to be keeping her safe. And I’m pretty damn sure I’m not supposed to wind up in bed and in-matrimony with her. Whoops. Now, what happens in Vegas isn’t staying there. It’s coming home on her finger, and it might very well put me in the ground. But I don’t care. I’ve seen what I truly want from this life. And I’ll be damned if I let her get away from me. Looking for the perfect blend of steamy and sweet? Some heat with your feels? This is just what you need! No cliffhanger, and a perfect happy ever after. This is a standalone story. The books in the Scaliami Crime Family series can be read in any order.

I’m torn between a hero I don’t know, and a monster who makes my knees weak. I come from Bratva royalty. But this is no fairytale, and I’m no princess. Right now, I’m a bartering chip. I’m being pushed to marry the cold, hardened kingpin boss of the Scaliami crime syndicate to smooth over a wrong I didn’t commit. He’s known as a savage. A cold and calculating villain. He’s a monster, and yet he’s also captivatingly gorgeous. He’s twice my age. He makes me think forbidden thoughts I’ve never had before. He makes me crave things I shouldn’t. Years ago, I fell for a hero. But now I’m losing my mind for a villain. One is the fantasy. The other is my future. And the lines between them are blurring by the second. But there’s more to this than meets the eye. The walls are closing in. My own criminal family wants me to play the double agent. Outside forces want to use me against him. But he just wants me. He wants me to scream his name. He wants to make me his in every possible way. And God help me, I want him to. Looking for the perfect blend of steamy and sweet? Some heat with your feels?

I was born into a dark kingdom. I’m a mob princess—a pretty little flower in a gilded cage. No boys ever climbed my tower. No men ever got through the walls built around me. No one, except Vincent Cave. My bodyguard, my shadow. My gruff, silent, watchful guardian angel. A teddy bear to me, but a savage to anyone who’d seek to harm me. First he was my innocent crush. Then, it wasn’t so innocent. Eleven years older, and utterly gorgeous. Eyes that make my knees weak, arms I could get lost in, and lips that mine wanted to taste since I knew lips could do that. I’m back after three years away at boarding school. I thought that would cure me, but there’s no cure for Vincent Cave. Not when three years have made him hardened, and growlier, and even more irresistible. When the danger he always shielded me from comes calling, it’s Vincent and me, alone, on the run. I’ve grown up. He’s noticed. It was just a crush. Now, it’s just dangerous. Looking for the perfect blend of steamy and sweet? Some heat with your feels? This is just what you need!

Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts. Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other's arms.
