The Fated series

Cassidy All I wanted was to get back home for Christmas, but an unexpected snow blizzard derails my plans. That is until my knight in shining armour arrives.   Devon Spending Christmas with my vacuous excuse of a family is not how I want to celebrate the holidays but when a damsel in distress needs rescuing along the way, suddenly it doesn't look too bleak.   For one night, I have her all to myself. Maybe we'll both get more than we wished for this Christmas?

Sophie Downtrodden. Side stepped. That's how we end up in this world, isn't it? I'm just the assistant. The woman. Not man enough to stand up and be counted. But they don't know me, the real me, the one hidden in the depths. I might be the personable face of the company, the smiling one at the charity events, but there are skeletons in my cupboard and ghosts that follow me around.   Carlos She's smart, sexy, powerful. I can see it. Even if they can't, or won't, acknowledge it. She doesn't know the depths of our families' connections yet. But I want her, and I'm willing to go to any lengths to get her. But will she stand by me when she knows the truth of who I am, and the darkness I carry? When the ghosts of our pasts catch up with us.  

Jess The quiet lull between Christmas and New Year is barely more than a memory already, and it's only New Years Eve. And, whilst I wasn't looking for love, when he bumbled through that doorway, I knew there was something special about him. A spark. A connection. Something that not even I could deny.   Andrew A last-minute change of plans. Family that can't be bothered. Doesn't that say everything you need to know about the start of my New Years Eve? It was a chance encounter with a woman, one I'd like to get to know more… intimately. One night is all she wants, it's all I'm offering. But what happens when one night isn't enough? When Fate intervenes and twists our time together, casting light on things that have been hidden for years, will she stay? Can I keep her safe?

Tia I'm drowning. Barely keeping my head above water. The weight of expectation is dragging me down as I attempt to break free. One moment of selfish weakness haunts me, anchoring me to this life. And now he's here. My weakness; tempting and delicious.   Cian My fists are all that keep me going; all that keep her safe. Fighting is all I know. But when those fists take me away and thrust me into another world surrounded by enemies who are pretending to be friends, I falter. When fate intervenes and my heart is on the line, which one will I choose?

Elena The Academy. The most prestigious school around, with the biggest price tag to go with it. It was a dream. Until it became a nightmare. One moment. One person. That's all it took to bring my entire world crashing down around my ears. A world I'm not sure I'll be able to put back together.   Anton Anger bubbles beneath the surface. A constant simmering rage that can never be sated. It's been like this for a long time. As long as I can remember. And now she's here. Under my feet and under my nose. Poking the bear and kissing the damage. But I don't know how to reconcile the hatred with what it's becoming.   The past is out to get us. A ticking clock that neither of us can outrun. Will we burn when the world crashes around us? Or will we rise like the Phoenix?

Elena He was the devil without the disguise. He never pretended to be anything other than the wolf he was, and I fell for it. Hard. Now, I'm tangled in a web of deceit, not only of his making, but mine too. A favour. Something owed. A promise that would come back and bite me on the ass.   Anton I don't know when it happened. When it changed. When that initial combination of mild infatuation and burning hatred somehow morphed into my obsession. When did it spiral out of control? Was it when she first let me hold her hand? Or when my lips graced the reverence of her skin? Was it when she was naive enough to let the wolf into her inner sanctum? Hard to say, but now I'm there. I'm not letting go. Can I keep the girl I should have let go? Or does fate have other things in store for us?

Elena A deal with the devil. How far wrong could that go? When there's more than your heart at stake and lives are on the line, hopefully, not too far.   Anton Lies. Deceit. Treachery. It's not something you learn to live with. Not in my life, anyway. Not something I have to, or ever will. My wrath won't be tempered. When it's all on the line and the cards are on placed on the table. Which way will the dice roll?

Niamh They say the truth will set you free, don't they? So why does it feel like we're in a bigger mess now than when we started? Him and I. Me and him. The Lies may be behind us, but is the truth any easier to unravel? Tino When you're being pulled in two different directions, and your loyalty is being questioned, something's got to give. But it won't be me. I know who I am and what I want, and I'm not afraid to stand up and fight for it. But can we make it through? Or will the fractured truth break us too?

Niamh Mysterious and mine. He doesn't know it yet, and I have no idea if he even feels the same, but it's a risk I'm willing to take. Tia may have set me on the path to healing, but he's the one that came for me. That saved me. Tino Tiny and terrified. Two words I can honestly say I've never been interested in, until now. All the women of my past have been strong, confident, articulate. And yet, the one that keeps me awake at night couldn't even bring herself to look me in the eye. But somethings changing, she's changing. And the more I see, the more I want. Can we make it out of the lies we end up entangled in? Or do others see more than we bargained for?

Christmas with friends. What could possibly go wrong?    It's been one hell of a year for The Fated Series couples. Get ready to catch up with Cassidy and Devon on their one-year anniversary and their first full festive period together.    Cassidy  An overnight trip with the boyfriend, a few days with the family, and a get together of epic proportions with new friends and old. This is going to be a Christmas break to remember.  With our new company ready to move forward, this could be the last break in a while, and I'm keen to make the most of it. Let's just hope it doesn't end up being a rerun of last year...    Devon  There's a little secret burning a hole in my pocket, and I can't wait to share it. I'm going to wine her and dine her and make her mine forever, if only she says yes.  Hopefully my family take it for the good news it will be, if it all goes my way. Otherwise, this could be a Christmas for the books...

What lurks in the shadows is even more horrific than I could have imagined.   The only thing worse than having a bad reputation is having no reputation at all. So, as invisible as I am, I can't say no when the La Famiglia heir drops an invitation to party in my lap. Even if that party is rumoured to be more dangerous than the man himself.   Tino holds all the keys to my future status at The Academy, and all I need is an opportunity. But is his world more than I can handle? He seems to think I could be the light at the end of his tunnel, but all signs point that we'll both end up in the dark…   Fans of M Robinsons angst ridden emotional duets and Tracy Lorraine's dark and driven heroes are falling hard for Shattered and Torn. Please note, this is a tragic, yet beautiful, and heart-breaking love story. It does not have a Happily Ever After (HEA) or even a Happy For Now (HFN). The hero in this book gets his HEA in the Love on the Line duet; Broken Lies and Fractured Truth.

With her family away, a quiet Christmas at home was just what Vittoria had planned, until a certain someone drops a last-minute change in her lap.   They've never made anything official, and a sexy Christmas with her boyfriend could be fun, but what about the family he's avoiding for her?
