Wicked Souls Series by Morgan Elliott

Gemma:. I had a plan. I needed to stick to that plan. It’s what you do when you’re on the run, hiding from the ones who want to see you dead. Getting involved with Declan McBride, aka the King of Vegas, isn’t part of that plan. It would be my luck to run from one monster straight into the arms of another. Just because he looks like a god, it doesn’t make him any less of a villain. Right? Declan. Blood, my hands and soul are stained with it. I don’t recall a time they weren’t... moreGemma:.

I hate the only man I've ever loved. Balor Murphy stole everything from me to save my family's honor. For five years, I've denied his very existence. A cruel twist of fate brings that denial to a screeching halt. Someone is watching me. Someone who wants me dead. He taunts me with cryptic messages and violent paintings. My brother’s best friend swears he can protect me. But how can I trust him? He slaughtered my only dream. How could he be the one to save me from a nightmare?

With a name like mine, it’s no wonder people fear me. I am the seductress, the maneater, the femme fatale. Labels I wear with pride. Women call me the protector while men curse my very existence. But when three Russian princes blow into my town, everything changes. They think I’m weak and incapable, they’re about to find out just how wrong they are. But the more time I spend with them, the more I want them. I crave them the same way I crave their blood on my blade. Two birds, one stone... moreWith a name like mine, it’s no wonder people fear me.

Juliette:. Six years ago, I found out the man I loved didn’t love me back. Not only that, he thought I was a mistake – a regret. There was no way I could tell him I was carrying his child, so I ran. I left behind everything – my family, my home – just to escape him. To be free. Now, I’m raising our son on my own, far from the past I left behind. I’ve built us a life here. I’ve moved on. Or so I thought. But fate has a twisted sense of humor... moreJuliette:. Six years ago, I found out the man I loved didn’t love me back. Not only that, he thought I was a mistake – a regret.

But how do I fix things when I don’t even know where to begin? I’ve searched the world and found nothing. It’s as if the woman I love never existed. That is, until I’m forced back to the one place I’ve been avoiding for years. Home. And that’s when I see her. But Juliette isn’t alone.
