Temptation (The Hunted #1)

Only once in my life have I lost my words at the sight of perfection - on a rainy autumn morning when I first met James Hunter. Or rather, when I literally ran into him. I had never seen anyone so handsome in my entire life. The stubble along his jaw line. The way he caught me in his strong arms. The way he stared at me so intently with his dark brown eyes that swirled with secrets.

I felt it in a rush. That I wanted him. That I needed him in my life. I’m not naïve. I could tell in two seconds that he was out of my league. And not just because it looked like he had stepped out of the pages of a magazine. Well, that and the fact that he’s my professor.

Trust me, I know I need to forget about him. But how could I possibly when every time I see him in class it feels like he’s daring me to cross the line?

*I don’t know how much longer I can resist the temptation.*

Addiction (The Hunted #2)

I never meant to fall in love with my professor. But it’s too late to turn around now.

You see, our story is only beginning. There are just two simple things I need to focus on:

1.Getting James to take me back, and

2.Making sure no one finds out about our affair.

Spoiler alert: I’m going to do the first one. But the second thing? I just hope to God that this love is the real deal because I’m pretty sure I’m about to be kicked out of school.

Eruption (The Hunted #3)

New York was supposed to be our fresh start. Our happily ever after. But James is hiding something from me.

Secrets from James’ past, his scheming ex, and unsupportive parents make it hard to breathe in this city that barely feels like my home.

I thought I wanted to marry him. I thought he was the man of my dreams. I thought we’d be happy as soon as we got away from all the rumors. But now? I don’t think I ever really knew Professor Hunter. And I can’t walk down the aisle until I know the truth.

Devotion (The Hunted #4)

One day before the wedding of my dreams, and I’m stuck in a city that is no longer my home. Alone. Heartbroken. Lost.

Could the past few years really mean so little to James? I’d do anything to protect him. He’s my whole future. My whole life. I don’t know if there’s a me without him.

But there’s only 24 hours until our wedding. There’s no time to repair the damage. And even if we could, Isabella is still out there plotting. The world is still against us.

I was just a student. And he was my professor. We were never meant to be forever. I thought it was everlasting love, but it was doomed from the very start.

The Light to My Darkness (The Hunted #5; The Light to My Darkness #1)

My relationship with my husband has been splashed all over the tabloids ever since we first started dating.

What should I have expected when I took New York City’s most eligible bachelor off the market?

But no matter how long I’m with my husband, I can’t shake the feeling that a stroke of luck brought me here.

That I don’t deserve the life around me. And I swear, if one more paparazzi takes a picture of me I’m going to freaking lose my mind.

I needed to prove to myself that I’m not worthless. So I wrote a novel under a pen name, but I’ve been rejected by so many literary agents I’ve lost count.

And I’m so consumed with this idea that I need more out of life that I never had a chance to see the real story unfolding around me.

The story that would threaten the life I took for granted.

A Whirlwind of Color (The Hunted #6; The Light to My Darkness #2)

One great love. That’s what every heart craves. I was lucky enough to find mine when I was 19. But I wouldn’t describe myself as lucky now.

My husband looks at me like I’m the light of his life. We live in a penthouse apartment that overlooks Central Park. My closet it filled with designer clothes and more pairs of shoes than I can count. I have everything I could possibly want at my fingertips.

And I’ve accomplished my dream of writing a novel. I wrote my love story. Every kiss, every touch, every memory compiled in a manuscript. The pages make my heart ache, my tears flow freely, and my cheeks hurt from laughter. My whole life is written on these pages.

I have the perfect husband. The perfect family. The perfect life.

But I don’t remember any of it.

This Is Love (The Hunted #7; The Light to My Darkness #3)

I fell in love with Penny as soon as she fell into my arms. I wasn’t a believer in fate, but she convinced me. And every day she convinced me just how special our relationship was. It was us against the world. And I foolishly thought our love was indestructible.

Now I know that love isn’t about light and darkness or whirlwinds of color. Love can’t be defined in such simple terms. When you lose it, all of that becomes clear.

I don’t know how much longer I can breathe in a world where I look into my wife’s eyes and only see a stranger. I’d do anything to get her back. But this is one thing I don’t know how to fix.

This is the end to our love story. I just hope to God it’s not the end of us.
