Publication date: February 3rd 2015

Surrender to desire with 12 books by the hottest names in dark romance, including bestselling authors Pepper Winters, Anna Zaires, and Lynda Chance.

CD Reiss – Spin
I wanted to write something high octane, with life or death stakes. I also wanted to take a nice girl and find out what would happen if she fell in love with a criminal. Who would affect who? Would she clean him up or would he desecrate her? The jury is still out

Jenika Snow – A Beautiful Prison
I have been a dark romance reader for some time, absolutely love the genre, and have been an avid fan of the authors included. Having my story, A Beautiful Prison, amongst such great talent and stories is incredible.

Pepper Winters – Destroyed
Destroyed was, and still is to this day, the hardest book I’ve had to write. It took a lot out of me. The characters didn’t behave and the plot line went in a completely different direction than the one I intended. I fought it every step—which made it incredibly hard to write. However, the book went on to hit the USA Today Bestseller, Indie Choice, and earned me a publishing deal with Grand Central (Hachette) publishing. So even though it took so much out of me, it gave back so much more.

Skye Warren – Trust in Me
One of the things I love about dark romance is how new it is, how nebulous the boundaries. With every book, I wonder what other barrier I can cross. What’s next? 

That’s what happened while I was writing Trust in Me last year. All my books, at their blackened hearts, are romances after all. So there was a hero… and a villain. It was almost a love triangle, except the reader knew how the story would end. The good guy gets the girl, every time. Doesn’t he? 

This is fiction, and dark erotica at that. If there’s any place a villain can find a happy ending, it’s here. And what does redemption mean anyway? When do you deserve a second chance? These are the questions explored in TRUST IN ME.

Kendall Ryan – Unravel Me
Unravel Me consumed me. I wrote it the fastest I’ve ever written a book… in just 16 days. It was INSANE! And I still love that story. It’s about a woman who’s a PhD student writing her thesis on amnesia… her subject is man with amnesia whose been admitted to a mental hospital

Anna Zaires & Dima Zales – Twist Me
Anna - I’ve been fascinated by captivity-themed romances from an indecently young age. Old Harlequins, 80s bodice rippers – they were all an inspiration for this book. I wanted to explore a captivity story in a modern setting, with a heroine who was fully conscious of the wrongness of the situation—and thus, Twist Me was born.

The character of Evan Arden was inspired by a lot of things, including many of my friends who have served overseas and come back different than they were before. Evan suffers from PTSD in a big way, and I’ve attempted to bring those feelings to the reader. The original inspiration was a simple request for a story about a man and his dog, and Evan’s Great Pyrenees, Odin, definitely plays a big part in the series.

Amber Lin & Shari Slade – Three Nights with a Rock Star
Shari Slade: If I remember correctly, Amber Lin and I were tossing around story ideas for solo projects and somehow got on the subject of callused hands. As you do. Logically, those callused hands led us to a rock star and a Sunday school teacher and a sex contract. That isn’t logical? It is for us. It’s how we ended up with super-sexy Three Nights with a Rock Star. 

Amber Lin: I looked through our old brainstorming emails. I won’t share the whooole thing, and it probably wouldn’t make sense to the general public anyway, but there was this part where I said: “God, callused hands are amazing. Really big ones. With nimble fingers.”

And then Shari replied with “Callused hands are an excellent place to start. So, yes!!! Let's do a rock star and a nerdy girl BECAUSE REASONS.”
So off we went!

Pam Godwin – Deliver
A local news story about a sex-trafficking operation made me fearfully aware that this is happening in our own backyards, behind the gates of our own communities, in family-friendly suburbs. To raise awareness, I set Deliver in a Texas neighborhood with unsuspecting villains and a victim who could be your best friend, your brother, or your son.

Lynda Chance – Marco’s Redemption
I really had no rhyme or reason for writing Marco’s Redemption—a scene came to me (the bathroom/dress scene toward the end of the book) and I just developed the characters around that scene.

Gemma James – Torrent
Torrent is the product of two ideas. I actually have Skye Warren to thank for the second. She put out a call for submissions for short stories about criminals. I wanted to write a story for that anthology, but the idea became too big for a short, so I merged it with an earlier story I’d begun, and thus, Torrent was born.

These e-books would cost over $40 if purchased separately. This set will only be 99 cents for limited time
