Elena

Anna has achieved her goal--total ownership of me. I'm irrevocably in love with her, and nothing can sever our bond until death. However, this dreamy honeymoon is cut short when Anna realizes that no matter how far she runs, her demons will never leave her. Someone wants to exterminate her entire family, and they are succeeding--killing the Stonewells one by one, with Anna next on their list. The enemy plans to use me to get to Anna, yet she won't let go and will do anything to make sure I'm safe.

Anna

Elena is mine—every inch of her, including her soul—tied to me forever. We are bonded until death, and I will follow her into the afterlife. When I hear that most of my family has been slaughtered, I know soon it will be my turn on the chopping block. I have to protect Elena, but she's also under my watchful eye. No matter how hard or far she tries to escape, I'll keep bringing her back to me. Now that I have my sweet wife, I wish I had faced my past instead of running from it. But no matter what, wherever I go a path of blood will follow because I have something to live for: my sweet Elena.

Zane

My irritation for my sisters' sudden marriage was still present, but I joined Zara and Zuri on a much-needed vacation at Zara's behest to help her tackle the Galloways' sinister business dealings that risked jeopardizing the seven families. My sisters had all fallen victim to love at first sight—a spell from which my family seemed unable to break free. But when I locked eyes with Bella Ford, one of their victims up for sale in a sex trafficking auction, I knew I'd do anything to save her—even if it meant burning down this small town. With Zara and Zuri's help, we became the highest bidder for Bella. What she didn't realize was that this wasn't just a rescue mission…I was keeping her forever.

Bella

One minute I'm grocery shopping, the next I wake up, being pulled out of the trunk of a car, bound and held prisoner for a sex trafficking auction. Somehow, I've become entangled in Galloway's seedy schemes. When rescued by the Blackburn sisters, it seems I've left one prison only to be thrown into another. Zane Blackburn, one the darkest sisters of the Blackburn family has taken an interest in me. She won't let me go. She says she's keeping me... forever.

Zuri

Always needing my help, Zara called on me. What I didn't expect was to run into Zoe Hart. My family often claimed there was such thing as love at first sight— and when my eyes met hers, I realized how true that was. In an instant, I was struck by a whirlwind of emotions for a woman I'd just met. It felt like the heavens had opened up to reveal a woman so tender yet so strong. I couldn't bear to be away from her, even though I barely knew her. Zoe has a tough exterior, but underneath lies a heart of gold. When she runs away from me, I'm determined to find her and nothing will stop me from getting what I want.

Zoe

Tasked with the job of delivering Emma's final paycheck from the library to Truth, a shady strip club owned by the Blackburn's, was not an ideal situation. Yet, it presented an opportunity to ask Zara about Emma—I hadn't heard from her since she married Zara and I missed her deeply. With my terrible social skills, Emma was the only friend who ever truly understood me. Growing up was a fight for survival day in and day out. I don't back down from a fight but recently I had grown tired of battling simply to exist. When my gaze locked with those of Zuri Blackburn, something stirred deep inside me—feelings of love and passion that I had never experienced before. But I knew what I was getting into; the Blackburns represented darkness and I had no desire to return to that world. Still, Zuri wouldn't let me go—she kept grasping onto me with increasing intensity until she possessed all of me.

Elena

Anna Stonewell, the dark and mysterious heartthrob senior at my prestigious university had just asked me out. Every woman was enamored with her, gay or straight, Anna was the epitome of seduction we all wanted a taste of. Despite being a poor sophomore student here on a scholarship - struggling to make ends meet while working part-time at a local diner and trying to keep grades up to par - I still felt blessed when she asked me out for a date during my shift. Our date was wonderful, like something out of a dream, and it felt like I was falling in love. But there was one problem. This wasn't a normal date. Anna had been watching me, learning about me, obsessing over me, planning our future together - and tonight, she executed her plan. To keep me forever. Anna Stonewell wasn't only dark, beautiful, and mysterious, she was dangerous. Very dangerous. Unknowingly, I had signed a death deal by agreeing to this date with Anna; because now I'd be staying with her until my very last breath.

Anna

It's time. The Stonewell's, my family, are retiring from our life of crime. We're leaving Michigan and disappearing off the radar, never to be seen or heard from again. Although our money is now clean, our past is far less so; death, destruction, sex and drugs have marked our history. We have enemies out there who'd like to see us wiped from record. But before we go, I stay behind to fetch my future wife: Elena Allen. From the moment I saw her in one of my lectures a year ago, I was hooked; sweet and beautiful, she stole my heart right away. It might appear as though I've ignored her since then but that couldn't be further from the truth - I've been watching her, learning all about her loves and desires; by now, I know Elena better than she knows herself. Tonight, I'll need to find a way to get her to agree to a date with me - just one - and then it will be forever. She'll come with me to my private island as my wife... because there's no other answer I'm willing to accept.

Zara

As heiress to lead the seven families and a renowned hitman, I was requested by my family to marry and produce an heir, despite the fact that I'm a lesbian. Tradition is everything in the Blackburn family; it's been this way for generations--which is why we're the most powerful of the seven families. When our power is threatened by the Galloway's over our lack of producing an heir, my father orders me--along with my three lesbian sisters--to find wives and start families. I had no interest in this predicament--until I locked eyes with Emma Moore, the most beautiful creature I'd ever seen. The Blackburn's are known for finding their future spouses through love at first sight, something I never believed was real until now. Though she clearly wanted to escape my presence, I understand why. My world is full of bloodshed and sin, yet that won't stop me from keeping Emma forever: she's mine.

Emma

Rumors flew that the infamous Blackburn sisters were seeking out wives, and I could scarcely believe it. The most powerful and deadly crime family in Michigan had sent out invitations for a meet and greet as they searched for women to marry and strengthen their family bloodline. I didn't expect an invitation—but when Mya, my best friend and roommate, forgot hers, I dashed to present it to her. My eyes met Zara Blackburn, the oldest of the four sisters and by far the most beautiful and dangerous. I was no stranger to the underworld these women ran, as I had worked hard to escape its dark embrace. But something about me captivated Zara, and she made it clear that she intended on keeping me for herself - as her wife, no matter how much I tried to flee.

Zariah

Zillian Blackburn—my father's death has made headlines all over the press. I've returned to Detroit with my sisters to pay respects and tie up loose ends, only for war to break out among the seven families. Zara is the chosen leader, and there's a bounty on her head should she be killed. It'll take the entire Blackburn family standing as one to win this battle. But then luck strikes me at the worst moments when I lay eyes on Cassie Brown—the owner of a small coffee shop in downtown Detroit. My love for her remains strong, no matter how hard I try to fight against it. If anyone finds out that she's my weakness, they'll hurt her to get to me, and I swear I'll burn this city down if anyone harms my future wife.

Cassie

On an ordinary day, I’m running my small coffee shop when Zariah Blackburn saunters in and turns my life upside down. The most dangerous of the Blackburn sisters, Zariah exudes a cold and calculating nature as she takes whatever she wants. Including me. Now, I'm in the middle of a battle between the Blackburns and the seven families and all I can do is hope that I survive this war. Zariah's act appears genuine on the political stage, yet there is a dark side hidden beneath her demeanor. Despite trying to resist, I'm completely drawn to this woman. Can I withstand someone as dangerous as Zariah Blackburn? Or more importantly, will I make it out alive?
