The pulse-pounding conclusion of The Deviant Kings series from New York Times bestselling author Gina L. Maxwell. Each book in the Deviant Kings series is STANDALONE: * The Dark King * The Rebel King * The Vicious King

Cuando Sarah J. Maas y 50 sombras de Grey se dan la mano: llega la nueva fantasía spicy que te obsesionará The Dark King. Para Bryn Meara, un viaje gratuito al exclusivo y ultralujoso hotel Nightfall de Las Vegas era una forma inmejorable de escapar de los escombros en los que se había convertido su desmoronada carrera profesional. Sin embargo, despertarse tras una noche de martinis y lujuria y descubrir que se había casado con Caiden Verran, el solitario multimillonario que poseía el hotel y la mayor parte de la ciudad, no es el premio gordo que esperaba. Al parecer, su misterioso y sexy marido es otro que el rey feérico de la Corte de la Noche, un mundo secreto escondido tras el velo de Las Vegas. Pertenezcan a la luz o a las sombras, los feéricos no tienen nada que ver con los personajes de los cuentos de hadas, y ahora han convertido a Bryn en un peón que utilizan en sus oscuros juegos de poder. Y Caiden es el más peligroso de todos: un cóctel embriagador de pecado y apetito salvaje e insaciable. Bryn debería huir. Pero cada noche de pasión la sumerge más en ese mundo extraño y siniestro, hasta el punto de que ya no está segura de si querría irse... aunque pudiera.

All work and no wicked play makes Tiernan a very unsatisfied king... Of all the Verran brothers, Tiernan is the least suited to wear the Night Court crown. The Rebel Prince is happy with no responsibilities or accountability—just the freedom to pursue his own dark, lush pleasures in Sin City. Including his secret hunger for a certain smart-mouthed, fiery redhead. Only, the possibility of having Fiona is stripped away when Tiernan is thrust into the one role he never wanted: king. As king of the Dark Fae, wanting—let alone pursuing—anything with a lower-caste fae like Fiona would shift from fun...to forbidden. Now war is emerging from the shadows of Vegas, and Tiernan is caught between who he’s meant to be and who he wants. And somewhere in this maelstrom of lust, love, and rebellion is the key to the Dark Fae’s survival...even if the cost is more than he can imagine.

“Neon Gods meets Fifty Shades... Deliciously dark and sexy!” —#1 NYT bestselling author Helen Hardt I thought a weekend away would be the perfect escape. Until I woke up married and trapped...by the king of the Dark Fae. For Bryn Meara, a free trip to the exclusive and ultra-luxe Nightfall hotel and casino in Vegas should’ve been the perfect way to escape the debris of her crumbling career. But waking up from a martini-and-lust-fueled night to find herself married to Caiden Verran, the reclusive billionaire who owns the hotel and most of the city, isn’t the jackpot one would think. It seems her dark and sexy new husband is actual royalty—the fae king of the Night Court—and there’s an entire world beneath the veil of Vegas. Whether light or shadow, the fae are a far cry from fairy tales, and now they’ve made Bryn a pawn in their dark games for power. And Caiden is the most dangerous of all—an intoxicating cocktail of sin and raw, insatiable hunger. She should run. But every night of passion pulls Bryn deeper into his strange and sinister world, until she’s no longer certain she wants to leave...even if she could.

Journey back to Neverland, NC with NYT & USA Today Bestselling Author Gina L. Maxwell as she turns your favorite villain into the hero you never knew you needed. THEY CALL ME HOOKI''m Captain of the Pirates; a villain by design and a loner by nature.I don''t need anyone. More than that, I don''t want anyone. Especially Officer John Darling who insists on seeing the good in everything, including me. If there was ever any good inside of me, it was snuffed out long ago.I''ve avoided him for years, but now I need his help to save my brother''s life and take down Fred Croc, the monster from my childhood and my current employer.Now Darling is undercover in my crew, living in my loft and forever working out shirtless. Taking Croc''s operation down from the inside is dangerous as hell, but Darling''s probing gaze and the natural way he defers to my dominant side might just be the end of me.But I''ve lived in the dark for too long, and no amount of light can save me. Not even one as bright as Johnathan Darling.HE CALLS ME DARLINGI''m a Task Force Officer with the FBI; a protector of the innocent and a man in love with a villain.Before I was even old enough to understand it, I had a crush on the broody teen called Captain Hook, following him around like a puppy and hoping he''d show me the slightest bit of attention.He never did, though, not for years. Not until I became his only viable option for getting his crew member back and throwing Croc behind bars. Now he can''t ignore me, and he can''t hide the desire burning in his eyes when I sink to my knees, eager to serve my Captain however he needs.But secrets are hard to keep in close quarters, and when I discover the darkness lurking in his past, eradicating the evil in Neverland is no longer my only mission.

I''m not always the hero. Sometimes I''m merciless. My whole life I''ve been the good guy—loyal friend, helpful son, dedicated firefighter—but in the bedroom I''m someone else. That''s where my inner villain likes to come out and play. With a kink as taboo as mine, it''s too risky to play with anyone who doesn''t crave it like I do, so I''ve gotten used to depriving that side of me. Then I see her. She''s the most beautiful creature I''ve ever seen and my darker half recognizes itself in her mysterious brown eyes. She''s everything I could ever want and thought I would never find. Our arrangement may seem twisted to everyone else, but the sex is explosive—and soon my soul demands to own every part of her. We come from different worlds that want to tear us apart at every turn, but I''ll be damned if I let them. I will fight for our future, and I will be...merciless. Reader Advisory: Merciless deals with forced fantasy between consenting adults. Readers sensitive to non-consensual sex fantasies should be advised. Each book in the Playboys in Love series is STANDALONE: * Shameless * Ruthless * Merciless

Ex-Army Ranger Erik Grady lives for his job as a Boston firefighter. So when he’s forced to choose between mandated therapy or a permanent desk job, Erik reluctantly agrees to see a shrink. Only the good doctor isn’t quite what he expects. Hotter than a four-alarm fire? Check. The kind of woman that can heat his blood in and out of bed? Check and check. His unforgettably wicked one-night stand? That’s one helluva check... Psychologist Olivia Jones can’t believe her eyes—or the spike in her heart rate—when Erik walks into her office. Her wickedly hot hook-up is definitely not playing by the One Night Stand Rules. She has very good reasons for keeping her distance, especially when it comes to delicious firefighters. And now he''s playing dirty...just so she’ll date him. But Erik needs Olivia’s help—which means she can handle whatever heat he throws her way. She''s a professional, damn it. And if that means dating Mr. I''m Too Sexy For My Bunker Pants, she’ll do it...and see just how much heat this fireman can take.

The situation hits critical mass when he''s placed on leave until an appointed therapist declares he''s stable. Frustrated, he stops at a liquor store where he helps an adorably flustered blonde with mile-long legs out of a tough spot, and suddenly a bottle of Jameson isn''t the only thing he wants to take home. Olivia Jones is a psychologist by day and, recently, a dating failure by night. After another crappy date, she swears off men until a chance encounter with a sexy stranger ignites a spark that leads to an unforgettable, anonymous night of passion. That is, until Erik shows up in her office on Monday as her new client, holding her missing red thong. When Olivia insists that he transfers to another therapist, Erik agrees on the condition that she goes on three dates with him. But Erik isn''t the only one dealing with past wounds. Helping each other heal and opening their hearts isn''t easy, and to survive, they''ll have to face the flames of their pasts together. But a love this strong is worth risking the burn. This is a new edition of the previously titled book Hot for the Fireman, featuring updated content and gorgeous new cover. Fall in love with Erik, Livvie, and the whole Rescue 2 crew all over again. This book is currently a standalone, but more books in the Boston Heat series are possible in the future.
