Marcus Thorne wears several masks in his life-playing retired pirate, Captain Hawk, is his favorite, but if his secret is discovered, he could die. Captivated by his enemy's daughter, Marcus kidnaps her, but in turn, she captures his heart... until he discovers Isabelle is one of Napoleon's spies with the power to endanger his life and the lives of his friends.

After her release, Isabelle can't stop thinking about her masked abductor and how he'd stolen her heart before ridding her of his presence. Betrothed to a man who strangely reminds her of the man whose kisses set her ablaze, she marries him, only to discover he's not who he seemed to be and is withholding secrets. But then, so is she.

Fiery Chains , Dark Shadows MC (Book 2) by MackenzieMadden

Chloe has always believed that she can only rely on herself, especially when everyone else always leaves. Relationships mean letting someone in and she's not willing to open herself up to that kind of pain, not without some kind of proof that it will last. When the Dark Shadows MC offers her protection from the danger stalking her, Chloe finds herself stuck with the gruff Road Captain, Hawk. He's silent, rude, uncompromising, and she's positive that he can't stand her...but Chloe also can't deny the way her heart races when he sets his steely gaze on her. Hawk learned early not to trust those who were supposed to care for him, finding solace and family among the brothers of the MC who saved him when he was a teen. Watching over Chloe is just supposed to be another way to repay that debt to the club, or so he keeps telling himself. But as the danger surrounding Chloe escalates and the lines blur between them, Hawk faces a choice between remaining guarded and alone, or letting Chloe in. In a world where trust is a rare commodity and danger lurks in every shadow, Chloe and Hawk must confront their deepest fears and decide if love is worth the risk.

Honesty with the truth of lies by jontaedem

Zoey never planned on wearing a crown-she only planned on stealing one. The palace was supposed to be her biggest con yet: win the Prince's heart, play the perfect bride, and disappear with more riches than she could count. But between the Queen's sharp suspicion, a shadowy figure sneaking through royal halls, and a masked voice whispering threats through her phone, the game is getting far more dangerous than she bargained for. And then there's Tae-her only ally, her biggest headache, and maybe the only man who actually cares if she lives long enough to pull this off. The closer the wedding gets, the deeper Zoey finds herself tangled in lies, secrets, and enemies who are always one step ahead. But she isn't giving up. Not when she's this close. Because in the palace of England... love might be a trap, loyalty might be a lie, and survival might just cost everything. ⸻ Hope you enjoy 😊
