VICIOUS by L.J. SHEN (SINNERS OF SAINTS, 1)

"He was toxic, poison, and he was going to kill everything beautiful in my life if I let him. He was the storm to my cherry blossoms."

The man who comes to Emilia LeBlanc in her dreams also haunts her in her nightmares. Baron "Vicious" Spencer is a brilliant lawyer. A skilled criminal. A beautiful liar. A bully and a savior, a monster and a liar. And since her mom was the live-in caretaker for his family's estate in high school, there was no escaping his wrath―until she had no other choice.

To Vicious, Emilia is completely off-limits. A starving artist. His best friend's ex-girlfriend. Pretty and evasive as a cherry blossom. When they were younger, she barged into his life unannounced and turned everything upside down. She discovered his darkest secret, and he made her pay the price. Drove her out of town. Hated and wanted her in equal measure.

It should deter him from chasing her to New York a decade later, but it doesn't. So she still hates him―big deal. She'll have to get used to him.

Because this time, he isn't going anywhere unless he's taking her with him.

Includes the prequel to the Sinners of Saint series: Defy

When young teacher Melody Greene accepts a job at All Saints High, she is surprised to find eighteen-year-old quarterback Jaime Followhill is determined to make her his. Lines begin to blur when Mel, who plays by the rules, falls for Jaime, who's sure she's his endgame.
