I was supposed to be a wife. A mom. A business owner. And I was... until an armed robber sticks a gun into my face. The man who saves me? Javier Mondello. My former high-school crush. A tattooed-troublemaker-turned-Adonis overnight. A blast from the past too good-looking for his own good.There's no denying it; the chemistry between us is all-consuming-electric. But when danger finds me again, when a crime of opportunity takes a twisted turn, I can't decide which fate is worse: falling into the arms of my hero...or finding out what he's really up to.

Lucy: I've always held my own. I'm determined. I'm happy. I'm strong. But not right now-right now I'm weak, pathetic.I screwed up. I screwed up in a way I can't fix. I destroyed someone. I stomped on a heart. I broke the one rule all women should live by. There's no coming back from it. Yet, I can't seem to find the strength to stop. Nicolai-that name, it ruins me.I tried to stay away. I fought so hard. I knew what he was, who he was. I knew what he had done. But I can't seem to stop.

Okay, that might not be the headline in the newspaper this morning, but it's the reality of my current situation. It all started a month ago when I received a call from my best friend, Kinsley. She'd gotten a new job in Chicago and needed a place to stay. I've known the girl since I was five, so I figured there wouldn't be any harm in having her stay at my place for a while. Ha! Total disaster. Now instead of going out every night with my teammates, I'm couch surfing and sketching endless portraits of my best friend... but that's the least of my concerns. The disaster, you ask?

Broken doesn't describe him. His demons now define him.Brody-that's the name that left my lips so many times, the name that stole my heart, the name that made me into the woman I am today, the name that eventually shattered my world so completely. He built me up, with love and desire-and then his darkness tore me down. Now he's gone, out there trying to fight a battle that isn't his to fight. He'll die. No truer words have ever been spoken.Everyone tells me to walk away, to let go. I can't fix him. I can't save him. I can't keep hanging on.But how can I let go?

I never meant to break the Untouchables. And I'll do whatever it takes to piece them back together. Even it means embracing what I most feared. I'm going to become one of the elite. I'm going to live like an Untouchable. And not even Isabella will be able to break me. Ever. Again. But while I'm focused on outsmarting Isabella and fixing my mistakes, I forget that the stakes are so much bigger than who's the most popular at Empire High. I'm playing with life and death. I should have seen it coming. After all...he'd betrayed me before.

Some things are best left alone. I know this. I should stand by it. That would be the safest option. But, well, I just can't do that-because the thing I should leave alone...is everything. It's the reason I breathe. It's the reason I keep putting one foot in front of the other. I need help. I know it, but nobody wants to step up. The case is too hard. There's nothing they can do.And then I meet them-bikers, the Knight Brothers.They can give me the help I need. They have the resources. But there's a problem: Lincoln Knight.I can't stand him. I loathe him. I despise him.

My name is Finn. I'm the broken one, the one everyone worries about, the one who'll probably never have it all together. I'm the quiet one. My eyes don't smile. My heart doesn't love. I was hurt the most, and I'll never recover.Those are their words. They aren't mine. The truth is, nobody really knows who I am-not a damned soul-and they probably never will. I'm tired of people feeling sorry for me. I'm tired of living under the Knight command, keeping the reputation. Maybe, just maybe, I'd like to be something else-because screw the Knight name.

Eliza Herman (a.k.a. The World's Worst Cupid) has spent her entire life carefully avoiding her calling as a Descendant of Eros. After all, happily-ever-afters are nothing but a myth.

Before long, Eliza is rethinking her stance on romance-until things start going terribly wrong with her enchantments.
