My Kindle Unlimited TBR for September-October 2024

 My Kindle Unlimited TBR for September-October 2024

USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tracy Lorraine brings you this dark bully college romance collection that includes Luca & Peyton’s duet: The Vengeance You Crave and The Destruction You Desire— from the lies that destroyed them to the shocking truth no one believed.

All it took was a cruel twist of fate and nearly six years for Peyton to come back to face me.

Six long years after I called her a liar.

After her lies shattered what we had.

After everything we planned crumbled.

But I’m not the wounded boy she left behind.

I’m a damaged man hell bent on vengeance.

Darkness consumed me after she left. And she’s about to get a taste.

The thought of destroying her turns me on.

I know my desire for her could be my destruction, but that won’t stop me.

Nothing will. Except maybe the brutal truth of what really happened all those years ago.

I’ll never forgive myself for not believing her… I just hope maybe she can.

**Includes a bonus Epilogue!**

USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Tracy Lorraine brings you this dark bully college romance collection that includes Leon & Macie’s duet: The Devastation You Reap and The Retaliation You Deliver— from the twisted lies that torment them to the dangerous truth that could set them free.

Secrets destroy from the inside out. They twist you up and leave you tangled— alone with only your dark and depraved thoughts. Thoughts that turn into plans.

Plans to retaliate. I’m going to reap devastation on those who wronged me. Starting with the angel who could have saved me… but damned me instead. It’s my turn to use her.

She might have forgotten me… but all I can do is remember. And when I’m through with her, she’ll be as haunted as I am.

Always so naïve, she plays right into my twisted game. Thinking this was about her— and not about the retaliation I desperately crave.

Setting the truth free will poison everyone I love. Good thing I already hate Macie… and myself.

Nico: I knew I had to have her the second I saw her. Being the owner of The Executive Club, I've met my share of beautiful women but none as beautiful as her. I was enamored with her from the second she walked into the room. She is innocent, naiveté, and sex all rolled into one. But I have a side to me that she cannot know about. I'm the future Don of the Marchetti famiglia, and my hands aren't clean. I have secrets I'm keeping from her, but I know she's hiding something from me too...

Ocean: Three. The number of things that were a priority when I ran away. Get as far away from my past as I could. Find somewhere safe and somewhat decent to live. Get a job that paid me enough money so I could live my dreams of becoming a ballet dancer, in time. It’s how I ended up here, a stripper at The Executive Club. I had heard the whispers about Nico Marchetti, but I ignored them. That was my first mistake. Because now he has set his eyes on me and whether I like it or not, want him or not, he plans on making me his, on keeping me. But we both have our secrets. And it’s only a matter of time before they are revealed. But I will do anything to protect mine. Because nobody can know the truth of who I really am. Not when my life depends on it.

I’ve never believed in coincidences. I am a man that believes in facts. It wasn’t a coincidence that my papà was the last person to see Ocean before she disappeared. The deeper I dig into her past, the more I find out about the girl who turned my world upside down. I may be a liar, but Ocean lied too. But now I know who she truly is... and what she is capable of.
She may have run and hidden once but it won’t happen again.
Because she is mine and if I have to burn the whole world down, just to find her, I will.
And when I do?
I will make her wish her family found her instead.



It’s funny how a single moment can change your life. And in my case, it’s been a series of moments. I spent months running from my family, intending to build myself a better life. Then I met him. Nico Marchetti. The devil in a designer suit. He caught me in his web, consuming me until I had no choice but to fall in love with him. But he didn’t love me back. That much was clear when his father approached me and told me the truth.
I knew he was powerful but how did I not see the real him? I was stupid. Young and naive. But not anymore. I see him for who he really is.
I hid once and now I will do it again.
I can only hope Nico never finds me and the secret I am hiding from him.
Because if he does... My life will be over.

Everyone in Heston Lake is obsessed with Heston U’s hockey team except me. I’d rather do a live reading from the spiciest romance on my bookshelf than talk hockey.

I could ignore my college town transforming into a sports bar during hockey season, but there’s no escaping the players fueling their obsession. My twin brother…and his best friend on the team.

#22. Alex Keller. Talented winger. The handsome hotshot player every girl on campus dreams of.

And my fake boyfriend for the next two weeks.

His idea, not mine.

I doubt he knew I existed—until he stops the football team from teasing me. All it takes is a pet name and his strong arm around me. Playing along is my only option.

I’m ready to go back to my side of the divide between nerds like me and athletes like Alex, but he refuses. He’s determined to protect me for real, even if our relationship is fake.

The only problem is…he’s too good at pretending. Our act fools everyone—including me.


Note: Trick Play first appeared in the Billionaires and Babes anthology. This version has been expanded with additional content.

Chase is ready to turn over a new leaf and leave his Hollywood playboy antics behind. He asked the universe for a chance at real love and is confident that Noa is his swift delivery. The only problem? It's near impossible to move forward when there is still a spotlight on the skeletons of his past.

Noa's focused on one thing and one thing only—and it does not involve a whirlwind summer romance with megastar actor Chase Ford. Armed with a paintbrush and a new blank canvas, she's determined to paint the perfect family picture for her and her four-year-old son.

It only takes one chance encounter. One tabloid picture. One publicity scheme to set the record straight.

Their ruse turns real.

Knowing he found the girl of his dreams, Chase is ready to fight for their chance at forever, but he's about to face the cruel reality Noa already knows too well—not all loves are created equal, and sometimes perfect isn't enough.

Kennedy

I’m the only woman on staff for the Windy City Warriors, and after years of putting up with a sexist lead doctor, I’m desperate to land my dream job with a new team next year. All I have to do is maintain my professional reputation for my final season in Chicago.

But a Las Vegas run-in with the team’s shortstop threatens it all, leaving me with a fuzzy memory and a ring on my left hand.

Now, not only am I legally bound to the most persistent man I’ve ever met, but thanks to Isaiah’s scheme to save my job, I have to pretend the whole thing was a planned elopement and not a drunken mistake.

Isaiah Rhodes is reckless, impulsive, and frustratingly charming. He’s also my brand-new husband.

They got the saying wrong. What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas… sometimes it follows you right back home.


Isaiah

As the shortstop for Chicago’s professional baseball team, I’ve had my fair share of fun. But that all ended the day Kennedy Kay became a single woman.

I’ve crushed on the team’s athletic trainer for years. I’ve flirted to no avail, so imagine my surprise when I woke up in Sin City with a ring on my finger and my favorite redhead in my bed.

We agree to stay married for one baseball season, just long enough to keep her job safe, but in my mind, I’m using our time together to prove to her I’m husband material.

Kennedy might be reluctant to join in on our game, but it’s one I refuse to lose.

So come on, wife… play along.

Eden:

Where I come from, there’s no forgiveness for a whistleblower, even if I saved countless lives. Unemployed, with a wrecked reputation, my only option is a pity job as a leadership consultant for a secret, government-employed team of assassins.

After moving clear across the country, I thought I’d feel safe from the ones who want revenge for my so-called valor, but then I meet him. Linc. The ghost in the shadows, who will never be seen for the hero he is.

I should probably be intimidated by the most lethal assassin PALADIN employs, except the monster has the kindest eyes when he's looking at me. Still, the question remains of who I should fear more…

The ones who are after me or the ones who promised to protect me.

Linc:

I love the way she screams my name, but I like how she whispers it too.

I vowed to never get attached, but Eden has a hold on me that no one has before. She’s the light and until her, I didn’t realize how lonely the darkness is.

Forget PALADIN’s rules. I refuse to let her go. I’ve finally found what’s precious to me and now I have to keep her close, defend her fiercely. She’s mine to pleasure and protect.

And whoever keeps threatening Eden’s life, is going to lose theirs.
