The Rule Breakers Series 4-Book Bundle
by Jennifer ChancePerfect for fans of Monica Murphy, Tracy Wolff, and Lauren Layne, these seductive novels from award-winning author Jennifer Chance introduce four irresistible alpha males who make their own rules: a smoldering rock star, a sexy biker, an unbreakable soldier, a wealthy playboy. Now the whole red-hot series--Rock It, Fake It, Want It, and Risk It--is available in one convenient eBook bundle. ROCK IT Lacey Dawes is a total pro at the talent agency where she works, but when Dante Falcone picks her to be his interim tour manager, Lacey can't believe her luck. The rock god has starred in her fantasies since she was sixteen--and remains her secret crush to this day. Although Dante is grateful for his adoring fans, being surrounded by a cadre of corporate types backstage is wearing thin. Then sweet, sexy Lacey shows up. Yeah, she's organized, smart, quick to get him what he wants before he knows he wants it--but Dante's hungry for more. FAKE IT New grad Anna Richardson works hard--so hard that she's given up having a romantic life. She's even convinced her friends that she's dating an amazing guy, but now Anna has a wedding to attend and needs to produce the hottie. Enter Jake Flynn, her infuriating, motorcycle-riding, jaw-droppingly gorgeous neighbor, who's more than willing to fake it for a weekend. Soon, though, the thin line between fantasy and reality fades. Jake's starting to feel the heat, and judging by Anna's sweet blush, so is she. But if she takes a ride with him, their adventure never has to end. WANT IT For Erin Connelly, being a good girl isn't such a bad thing. She's working at a Boston art gallery and staying out of trouble--until her deadbeat mom winds up in the clutches of a Mexican drug lord. Now the only person who can save her is the one man Erin has no business asking for help: Zander James, the sexy-as-sin army ranger who just so happens to be her ex. However, with a treacherous enemy lying in wait, the electrifying tension between them may just be Zander's undoing. Because while he may be able to keep Erin alive, he can't promise to keep his hands off her. RISK IT As dominating in business as he is in bed, Rand Sterling Winston IV always gets what he wants. And he wants Dani Michaels--even after she scams him into paying triple for her friend's painting. So when the part-time thief rebuffs his advances, he gives her a choice: a night in jail or an evening with him. Dani has never met someone like Rand, and she's more than a little intrigued by his no-strings, no-holds-barred proposition. But as their encounters grow increasingly intimate, Dani uncovers a vulnerable side to Rand's steely exterior and opens her heart to the ultimate risk.

Rule Breakers, Soul Takers (Hell Runners #1)
by Jacqueline JayneFor more than a hundred years, gifted humans of the uber-elite, ultra-secret Hell Runners Society have sworn to rescue lost souls from the First Ring of Hell. Thousands of misguided spirits have been saved and sent onto Heaven without one Soul Saver ever questioning the Society’s authority. Until now. Prudence Luckett trained almost her entire life to earn the prestigious position of Soul Saver. Just like her father. But once Jack Luckett became Chancellor, he wielded his power to prevent his daughter entering Hell’s First Ring. Her career stunted. Without explanation. Bent on circumventing her father’s orders, Pru swallows her pride and approaches Hell Runner’s only-ever demoted Soul Saver with a proposition. Though as arrogant and stubborn as he is sexy, she’s certain he’s like her—desperate to regain his good reputation as she is to create one. Jesse Thorne rescued more souls than anyone else in the Society’s history, but lost everyone’s respect the day his former partner decided to punt the rules. Though forbidden by the boss, his partner chose to remain behind the Gate and search for the Legendary Door connecting Heaven to Hell. Jesse didn’t agree with his decision, but he kept his friend’s secret. The backlash resulted in accusations of negligence for leaving his partner behind. Worse still, he suffered a total shunning by all the other Soul Savers. All, except one. The Chancellor’s irrepressible and smokin’ hot daughter, offering him a chance at redemption. He accepts Prudence as his new partner and together they storm Hell, saving more souls than ever. Their bond is immediate and charged with delicious sexual tension. But at the instruction of a council elder, she drinks holy water. The result is a new and powerful weapon—she burns demons with her sweat. And Jesse. Possessed by a demon as a teenager, a stain remains that marks him as one of Hell’s own. The stain enables him to see hidden demons, but Prudence must keep her distance if he wants to maintain his secret. And his skin. No kissing. No touching. No future. Complications arise when his old partner returns, swearing he can find Heaven’s Door, but the ancient prophecy requires use of all their unique gifts, including the love growing between Jesse and Prudence. Against the rules, they help search for Heaven’s Door and navigate the dangers of Hell’s deeper rings. The deeper they go, the more secrets are revealed and the deeper they fall into love. In a showdown that locks horns with the Chancellor and the demon from Jesse’s past, they find the key that will open Heaven’s Door. And the chance to free Jesse from his eternal curse. But will the pull of Heaven pull them apart, separating them forever?
