Shame

Growing Up & Facts of Life

A mafia romance about love and loss by Rachel Van Dyken, the number one New York Times bestselling author of the Eagle Elite series.\n…When you awaken in the morning's hush 
I am the swift uplifting rush 
Of quiet birds in circled flight. 
I am the soft stars that shine at night. 
Do not stand at my grave and cry; 
I am not there. I did not die. 
— Mary Elizabeth Fyre\n"I'm sorry for your loss." I would rather be tortured for an eternity than hear those damn words from one more person, as if Claire, my dead fiancé, was a cell phone or car keys. 
How about, I'm sorry your life is over. 
I'm sorry you want to die too. 
I'm sorry you see her in your dreams and wake up only to relive the nightmare. 
I'm supposed to be the strongest of them all. Ash Abandonato, ruler, assassin, made man, brother, friend—instead, I hurt everyone I touch in hopes that they'll feel even a sliver of the pain that bears down on my shoulders. 
I didn't lose. 
It was taken from me. 
And it's all her fault, Annie Smith. 
I daydream about her death. 
And then I close my eyes, and I see her soft smile. I feel her touch, her kiss—it was a mistake what we did that night, but I can't take it back, and now she's under my father's protection—my protection. 
My worst enemy. 
The woman I'm the most attracted to. 
I can't decide if I want to strangle her or kiss her, and now that she's stuck in my life, my only goal is to make her feel the same loss I do and destroy her in the process. 
I'll trick her with my touch. 
Seduce her with my kiss. 
And in the end, when my enemy is at her most vulnerable—I'll bring down an entire Empire and continue my reign as King. 
Bow down, I'll say as I bring the Five Families to their knees. 
Blood in. 
Never out. 
Damned.

Romantic Suspense

#1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken delivers a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy with this hilarious, standalone new adult romance. Have you ever hated someone so much that you actually wondered if prison would be worth it? I have. And I had to bear witness to Mark's cocky smile for four miserable years watching girl after girl tumble in and out of his bed while he had nothing but scorn for me. After we graduated college and, thank God, finally parted ways, I thought that I was done having to deal with the enemy. And then I got fired, sending me careening right into a local bar-and Mark's bed. My nightmare came true as we both soon realized that we would be fighting for the same job at Emory Enterprises. We had to live together under the same roof, and as the challenges got weirder and weirder, we got closer and closer-united by the trauma that is CEO Max Emory. When I signed up for this internship, I envisioned coffee runs, not gecko sitting-long story. Soon one thing led to another, and somehow my enemy quickly turned into my best friend. But what happens when the games are over? Furthermore, how do I tell the guy I used to hate that he owns my heart when I wasn't even aware I'd given it away? Prison time or Mark? A few days ago, I would have chosen prison. Now? He's all I see.
