Ruthless Devil by Eve L. Mitchell

Man in front of windows at night

Onyx Santo.
Cold-hearted, harsh, and a brutal adversary.
They call him a Devil. I call him my nemesis.

His designer suits, expensive shoes, flashy car, and cruel intelligence can’t hide what he is underneath.
Empty.

He fooled me once, and I swore he’d never get a second chance.
There is nothing he can do to redeem himself in my eyes.
As my most hated rival, the only time he makes me smile is when I’ve bested him in the boardroom.

But someone far worse is out to get me. Perhaps…even hurt me.
The police have no leads, and I have no idea who it could be.
I do know one man who doesn’t play by the rules. One man who could protect me.

I’d rather live in fear than ask for his help.

*Ruthless Devil is a full-length stand-alone, billionaire, office, enemies-to-lovers romance that is intended for mature readers, and ends with an HEA. If you are not a fan of morally grey alphaholes, or heroines who aren’t afraid to tell them to stick it where the sun don’t shine, then you should keep scrolling.

This book will contain themes that some readers may find triggering or offensive, such as dark themes, sexual/violent content, excessive swearing, and smoldering heat.

Fight for It by Lauren Greene

illustration of two people boxingFalling in love is the easy part…

MIA: I’m not quite sure I’d be standing outside a Krav Maga gym right now if it weren’t for toxic masculinity. From my sleazy boss down, the men in my life don’t have an ounce of chivalry between them — so I figured if you can’t join ‘em, beat ‘em. Problem is, the last thing I want to do with my sparring partner is punch him in his sexy, brooding face. Instead, I’m finding myself obsessed with what’s behind that gorgeous but cryptic exterior. I want to find out what makes him tick. I want to watch him come undone…

But it’s been a long time since I’ve trusted anyone. And with good reason. I came here to learn self-defense — so why are my walls crumbling around me?

SHAWN: These newbie chicks are all the same. Ready to stick it to the patriarchy…for at least fifteen minutes. But when this wide-eyed and clearly terrified rookie squares off in front of me, I can’t help but be struck by her. Like, literally. In the shin.

And okay, there’s some chemistry there too. Something about Mia’s body makes mine want to misbehave — and that’s the last thing I should be doing with a woman as stunning as her. Because Mia deserves better than me. Everybody does.

So why is she so hard to push away?

Featuring a hero with the body of an avenger and the heart of an angel, and the curvy, independent woman who wins his heart, Fight For It is filled with tenderness, personal growth and a whole lot of spice.
