Hannaford Prep: The Complete Series
by J. Bree
Hannaford Preparatory Academy, the nation's most exclusive school, offered me a full-ride scholarship and a chance to escape the dangerous streets of Mounts Bay. But at Hannaford Prep, no scholarship student has ever survived freshman year. These privileged rich kids don't understand the primal need for survival that courses through my veins, the blood-soaked throne I've fought and killed to claim. And with more deranged killers stalking me than I can count, this 'opportunity' might be my grave. They think they can break me. They're wrong. No one touches the Wolf.

by Tate James
Betrayed. My best friend, my right hand, the man I trusted above all others. Zayden de Rosa declared his love for me, pursuing me until he shattered the walls between us. Then the man who claimed to love me proved to be a traitor. A shocking twist I never saw coming in this explosive dark romance saga. Abandoned. My fierce lover… I let him die, erased his existence so he could move in the shadows and stay safe. Now he’s out there alone, with no idea what’s happened. All he’ll know is that I’m not where I’m supposed to be—a truth that might cost him his life for real. I have to trust him to survive on his own. He never saw that coming. Framed. My lighthouse. My lover. My Lucas. I love him so damn much, and while I might be guilty of some crimes, the worst seems to be hurting him. The majority of what they arrested me for was a damn lie, but not that one. Hopefully, the light he promised me will sustain us through this time of intense suspense and danger. We never saw that coming. Enraged. My ex is at the heart of this all, orchestrating one assault after another. He didn’t break me before, and he won’t break me now. I am Hades. He’ll never see me coming. Timber is book four of four in the Hades series, a gripping dark romance thriller. This book contains scenes and content that may be triggering for some readers, and it is advised to proceed with caution. If you've come this far in the series, you're already well acquainted with the nature of the Hades plotline and can make your own educated guesses about the thrilling conclusion.

by Tate James
THE GUILD is a gripping new dark romance series, born from the gritty Shadow Grove world. While familiar faces from the MADISON KATE and HADES series may make appearances, their cameos are not essential to THE GUILD's standalone storyline. A **honey trap** is a stratagem where an attractive person entices another into revealing information or doing something unwise. For those who ascend to the upper echelons of the mercenary guild, it's more than just a job. It's not a hobby, a career, or a fleeting pastime. It's a sacred calling. A brutal honor. Being in the Guild is our very existence... or our death. Not everyone is forged for this path. The work we do is far from pretty, certainly not glamorous, and devoid of morality or goodness. The crushing weight of our sins can break even the strongest. And when they crack, they become a threat. No one truly leaves the Guild. You either negotiate a new role, or you're eliminated. But who, you might ask, can kill a killer? Who makes the boogeyman run and hide? Men like me. The Guild is my life. My unwavering love. My entire existence. Anyone who dares to threaten that, is eliminated. No questions, no hesitations, no mercy. Until her. *** **Content Warning:** *The Guild* series is a dark romance and contains scenes that may be uncomfortable or disturbing for some readers. Reader discretion is advised. The main characters are not "good guys," and their moral code significantly deviates from typical romance heroes. Do not expect heroic standards; they will fall short. *HONEY TRAP* is book one of three in *The Guild* trilogy. While part of the interconnected Shadow Grove universe, *The Guild* series can be enjoyed without prior reading of the MADISON KATE or HADES series.
