Tarnished Empire

A sizzling series to cross off your never-ending TBR list.

1. FRACTURED FREEDOM by Shain Rose

SYNOPSIS

Is it so bad that I tricked my older brother’s best friend into being with me? Maybe. In my defense, it was Dante Reid—my crush, my first love, and the one I ended up pushing away.

Our paths split in opposite directions. I went to college on one coast while he returned to work with the US Army on the other. The end. Or so I thought.

After graduating and attempting a bucket list of self-discovery, guess who shows up to bail me out of a bad situation? Dante freaking Reid—this time with more muscles, more tattoos, and more demands:

He wants me to move in across the hall from him to supposedly keep me safe.
Report my whereabouts to him.
And be careful when I’m crossing off my bucket list.

As if I’m in danger and need protection. I don’t. Unless it’s from him.

Because Dante has been my downfall before… And living next to the guy I gave myself to a long time ago may actually end in my complete devastation.

2. CORRUPTED CHAOS by Shain Rose

SYNOPSIS

My enemy doesn’t make the rules… Even if he’s my boss. Cade Armanelli might be an infamous hacker with billionaire status who operates better alone, but I earned my spot working alongside him... Whether he likes it or not.

It’s precisely why I’m on the first plane to an undisclosed location for our cybersecurity team retreat. I’m ready to prove to our company that I can handle anything… Except sharing a cabin and a bed with my meticulous, elusive boss.

He’s antisocial. Ruthless. Enemy number one. Unfortunately, he’s also number one in tatted, dark, and dangerous. I quickly come to find that not only are his hacking skills perfection, but so is his performance in the bedroom. Not that it matters. I have a job to keep, a heart to protect, and our nation’s data to secure.

Cade can’t help me with any of that. He’s a distraction, one I have to avoid… Even if it means I’m spray painting a red line down our bed and keeping my boss on his side.
