The Powers That Be Series

Gable

If ever there was a man who looked exactly like the kind of man that father had warned me to stay away from, then that man would be Gable Powers.

Complete with a terrible reputation; a foul mouth that sent shivers down my spine with what they uttered in my ear; and a sinfully sexy body covered in ink, Gable was a solid ten out of ten on the bad-boy scale.

I couldn’t stand him the first time I met him.

You would have thought that the second encounter would have been better. Instead, it was much worse.

Calling him a jerk would be a huge understatement.

So why can’t I stay away from him?

Loch

No longer the ugly duckling, I have already gotten over him.

Being completely different however draws his attention, and I just don’t know what to do with that.

How could he just take what he wanted and leave, without so much as knowing how I felt about it?

He was my worst mistake and I hated him for that.

Ryker may have been a perfect gentleman, but I had learnt my lesson.

I knew he had a foul mouth and liked things dirty.

He may have fooled everyone into believing that he was a gentleman, but I knew him better.

Ryker was a wolf in sheep’s clothing and I wanted to see him destroyed.

That’s however until I realized that what I truly wanted was him.

Drake

Drake Powers may have been the most handsome and sinfully sexy man that I had ever seen, complete with the inked body, but he was also the biggest jerk that I had ever met in my entire life.

I simply could believe the dirty filth that came out of the bastard’s mouth.

An arrogant and controlling bad boy, I should have run as fast as I could when I still had the chance.

I always had a feeling that Drake had a secret which he carefully guarded.

Although I desperately wanted to uncover it, staying away felt the right thing to do.

Too bad I’m not the type to listen.
