Betrayal cuts the deepest.
I would know better than anyone.
They never suspected me to be the villain.
That didn’t matter anymore, though, because I didn’t just want revenge, I needed it.
Leaving my old life behind, I knew I could never return, but there was something… no, someone I had left behind.
Scarlet.
Kind. Innocent. Fragile.
She was a light in the darkness of my life.
Back then, she was always meant to be mine, even if having her meant breaking every single rule.
Innocent Rose, an all-new forbidden, standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author Darcy Rose is available now!
Rose is my daughter’s best friend, and for years I’ve watched her grow and blossom into a beautiful woman.
I’ve wanted her for so long, but I’ve been very good at disguising that with my concern for her well-being.
Until the day I offer to let her move in and I realize I’m not as strong as I thought I was. I want to claim every inch of her, and I won’t be as gentle as she deserves.
Rose might be innocent and completely off limits but I never was a rule follower.
Rose will be mine, and I’ll do anything to ensure it.
Jimmy’s always been the one who protected me—at any cost. I was content to let him clean up my messes. And when he kept his promise to get us out of our hometown and living the lives we always dreamed of, I was happy to pretend everything would be okay… for a while.
While Jimmy was able to leave the past behind, mine felt like a tattoo I could never scrub clean.
Jimmy thinks he can fix me—he tries, and tries, and tries.
Sometimes love isn’t enough to heal all the wounds from the past. Sometimes even your savior thinks you’re not worth saving.
And he’d be right… until everything changed.
Jimmy

“I feel like a small cornered animal being stared down by the big bad wolf. Too bad this wolf doesn’t know who he’s messing with.”
“She’s like a siren and I’m caught in her dangerous melody.”
“Impossibilities only exist to prove the possible, and we, Mia”….” are most definitely possible.”
Oh, my goodness! Ever since I heard about this book I have been dying to get my hands on it and Wild does not disappoint!
Wild follows the story of Mia and Hollis and will suck you in from the very first page. When we first meet up with Hollis, he is the bad boy musician your parents warn you about. He’s cocky, arrogant, and so sure of himself. But, the more time you spend with him, the more you discover there’s more to this playboy than meets the eye. And when Hollis meets Mia, all bets are off. Mia is the untouchable and off-limits daughter of musician, Josh Hayes. And while Mia loves her dad and family more than anything, she’s desperate to prove herself and make it on her own. She knows she should stay away from bad boy Hollis, but she can’t help but find herself drawn to him like a moth to a flame. In the end, neither one of them stood a chance…
Wild captivated me from the very first page and I easily devoured this story in a single sitting. After the first interaction between Mia and Hollis, I knew I was done for. Their chemistry was instant and I couldn’t get enough of their banter. I loved the bad boy, forbidden romance, and rockstar vibes that this story delivered. Hollis exceeded my expectations and there is nothing like watching a musician fall. The romance between Hollis and Mia may have taken these characters by surprise, but it was pure and sweet and I loved every second of it. Now, as with any good love story, there have to be a few bumps in the road, and the bumps in this story certainly tugged at my heart.
In the end, I fell hard and fast for Hollis and Mia. Their story had everything I was looking for and I certainly can’t wait to see what adventures Hollis’ band has in store for us readers in the future.

I’m what some people call the bogeyman. Most people have the good sense to be afraid of me. Unfortunately, my best friend’s little sister is NOT most people.
She’s not afraid of me at all. But she should be. She doesn’t know the secrets I’m hiding.
Look, Lucia Demarco is a handful. She’s stubborn, gorgeous, a magnet for trouble, and sets my blood on fire.

The point is, she’s been poking her head where it doesn’t belong and now some idiots are about to find out why they call me the reaper.
I hear former hitmen make the best bodyguards. True story!
I’ll keep my word and keep Lucia safe. And I absolutely refuse to give in to her sunny smile or sharp wit.
I can be strong. Or will I risk just one taste?
