Wicked West Rejects Books

I was warned these three boys would be the death of me. I never meant to fall for the worst of them... Fresh starts don't come around often for a girl from the streets of this city. But a fortunate chain of events has delivered me to the center of wealth and power. And in the midst of three very different, very formidable cousins with the world at their feet. Gage, Micah and Conner were determined to be my enemies. So I braced for a war. But they underestimated me. I earned respect from one of them. Friendship from another. And I found love with the third. Or so I thought. Everyone who insisted Gage Silvestro was heartless had to be wrong. He was just misunderstood, my unexpected soul mate. I was fooled. And I suffered for it. A night of terror and tragedy became a crash course in how easily love can turn to hate. Eight years have passed since Gage told me to go cry in a gutter and then disappeared. Now he’s back in the form of a ruthless mob boss who stalks my every move. I’d have to be crazy to give him a second look. Then Gage nearly lost his life while saving mine. And I learned the truth. Our real enemy has been pulling the strings all along... **From NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Cora Brent, HATEFUL is a twisted love story loosely inspired by a classic tale. The first book in the Wicked West Rejects series, it may be read as a stand alone. **

It began as a DARE between two lifelong enemies... Micah Lyonne is the worst man I know. As children, we were constantly thrown together by our powerful parents. And we always despised each other. He was supposed to be the heir to a billion dollar empire. Instead, he lives in the shadows and chooses a life filled with violence. Meanwhile, I’m the mayor’s ambitious daughter with a long list of responsibilities. Micah sneers at everything I stand for. And I know better than to dance with danger. But when the inked, volatile Micah comes to my rescue one night, I’m forced to trust him. It’s a night when I let my guard down. It’s a night when I reach for him in a way that will change me forever. It’s a night when I understand what it means to crave a man who is the opposite of the safe future I assumed I wanted. The two of us make no sense together. We won’t let that stop us. He’s all I want and he’s decided that I’m his. Together, we turn all the rules upside down and set the world afire. Until someone decides to make us pay… This enemies-to-lovers story set in a Wizard of Oz-inspired gritty, contemporary world is definitely NOT a sweet, slow burn with perfect characters. It's full of hate-to-want-you energy with a volatile collision of two people who NEVER expected to end up together. Micah and Tess will take you on a journey that is messy. Dirty. Dangerous. Angsty. Passionate. With an HEA that makes it all worthwhile.

The NFL King and the Mafia Princess ignite the pages... Conner Wiseman was once my only friend. Until a cruel accident made him forget me. All through high school I watched him, the boy of my dreams. Longing for him to see me standing there. Then one night he noticed me in a big way. But only for one night. For that, I hated him. So I decided to make him hate me back. Fast forward ten years and now Conner is the city’s most beloved football hero. While I’m known as the cold-blooded heiress to my father’s criminal empire. But the grim truth about Conner’s legend hides behind his golden boy smile. And I’m trapped in a violent high stakes world I despise. Maybe the past was always going to catch up to us. We have unfinished business. An old score to settle. Now Conner thinks he knows what he’s getting into with me. He doesn’t. I thought I knew how to keep from falling for him. I didn’t. Because he has always been my weakness. And I will be his downfall. After all, a story like ours could never be simple. No, this will be the messiest one of all... *WISE is the third installment of the Wicked West Rejects trilogy by NYT and USA Today bestselling author Cora Brent. May be read as a stand alone.*
