A nova trilogia de Maya Banks, autora best-seller do The New York Times, aborda três irmãos inesquecíveis arriscando tudo para salvar seu clã e seu legado ‒ e para entregar seus corações ao amor. Ewan McCabe, o mais velho dos irmãos, é um guerreiro determinado a dizimar seu inimigo. E o agora é um momento oportuno para a batalha, já que seus homens estão prontos e Ewan está preparado para pegar de volta o que lhe pertence; contudo, uma tentação de olhos azuis e cabelos negros adentra seu castelo e sua vida. Mairin pode ser a salvação do clã de Ewan, mas, para um homem que sonha com vingança, os assuntos do coração são um território insignificante para conquistar. Filha ilegítima do rei, Mairin tem uma propriedade valorizada que a tornou o centro de um jogo de interesses ‒ e reticente no amor. Seus piores medos vêm à tona quando ela é resgatada do perigo só para ser obrigada a se casar com seu salvador carismático e autoritário, Ewan McCabe. Mas a atração por seu novo marido robustamente poderoso a faz implorar por seu toque surpreendentemente gentil; seu corpo ganha vida sob aquele controle sensual. E, conforme a guerra se aproxima, a força, a alma e a paixão de Mairin desafiam Ewan a derrotar seus demônios ‒ e se entregar a um amor que vale mais do que vingança e dinheiro.

#1 USA Today and New York Times bestselling author Maya Banks continues her suspenseful and sizzling Slow Burn series with this fourth book—a mesmerizingly sexy tale of a strong, brilliant woman who encounters the one man who makes her lose all control. Eliza Cummings fought free of a monster who terrorized her when she was an innocent teenager and helped put him away for good. She took a job with Devereaux Security Services and devoted every hour to taking down the very thing she’d nearly become. No one, not even those closest to her, know her darkest, shameful secrets. But now the killer has been set free on a legal loophole and it’s only a matter of time before he comes for her. Eliza''s only choice is to run and lead the monster away from the people she loves. Wade Sterling has always lived by his own rules, a law unto himself who answers to no one. He’s never professed to be a good man, and he’s definitely not hero material. Wade never allows anyone close enough to see the man behind the impenetrable mask—but one woman threatens his carefully leashed control. He took a bullet for her and the result was more than a piece of metal entrenched in his skin. She was under his skin and nothing he did rid himself of the woman with the courage of a warrior and who thinks nothing of putting her life before others. But when Wade sees a panicked and haunted Eliza he knows something is very wrong, because the fool woman has never been afraid of anything. And when she tries to run, the primal beast barely lurking beneath his deceptively polished façade erupts in a rage. She may not know it, but she belongs to him. This time, Eliza isn''t going to play the protector. She was damn well going to be the protected. And as long as Wade breathes, no one will ever hurt what is his.

The desire that exploded in Mastered continues its conflagration in the second novel in the Enforcers series—from the New York Times bestselling author of the Surrender Trilogy. In Drake’s shadowy world, his enemies would exploit any weakness he had in order to bring him to his knees, and so he’s never allowed himself to care about anyone...never exhibited any vulnerability, and it made him a force to be reckoned with. Until Evangeline—his angel. A woman who slipped past his defenses like no one had ever managed. She was his to protect and ultimately, to do that, he had to do the unthinkable and drive the only good thing in his world away. Devastated and destroyed, Evangeline doesn’t know what made Drake turn on her in such a shocking manner. She only knows she’ll never be the same. He once freed her from all her inhibitions, only now she is a prisoner to never-ending pain. But when Drake finds her again, she realizes there is more to his world than she ever imagined, and she must decide if she can once more trust—and submit—to the man who holds her wounded heart in his hands. And he must convince her of just how far he’ll go to regain her love and forgiveness.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Surrender Trilogy and the Breathless Trilogy knows what makes readers hot. Now she turns it up in Mastered, the explosive first book in a new series of a desire too dangerous to resist. What he wants, he takes with no remorse or guilt. She stood out in his club like a gem, unspoiled and untouched. A lamb among wolves, she clearly didn’t belong. Drawn to her innocence he watched as she was surrounded by men who saw what he did—but no one but him could touch her. He summoned her to his private quarters. He sensed her fear. He also recognized the desire in her eyes. And he knew she wouldn’t leave before he possessed her. She had no need to know his secrets. Not until he had her under his complete and utter control. What he wants, she isn’t sure she can give him. The moment he told her want he wanted, she couldn’t resist. Instinct told her to run, but her heart said stay and walk the fine line between pleasure and pain. Though she wasn’t sure she could ever completely surrender, the primal part of her wanted to try, even knowing this man could break her in ways she never imagined. Because once he possessed her, he owned her and it would be too late to turn back. She can only pray that he doesn’t destroy her in the end.
