Sinners of Saint Series by L.J. Shen

Step into the sharp, addictive world of the Sinners of Saint series by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author L.J. Shen. From enemies-to-lovers angst to teacher-student scandal, this iconic series delivers raw chemistry, devastating secrets, and heroes who love as hard as they burn. 

Book Blurb:

Book 1 - Vicious :

"He was toxic, poison, and he was going to kill everything beautiful in my life if I let him. He was the storm to my cherry blossoms."

The man who comes to Emilia LeBlanc in her dreams also haunts her in her nightmares. Baron "Vicious" Spencer is a brilliant lawyer. A skilled criminal. A beautiful liar. A bully and a savior, a monster and a liar. And since her mom was the live-in caretaker for his family's estate in high school, there was no escaping his wrath―until she had no other choice.

To Vicious, Emilia is completely off-limits. A starving artist. His best friend's ex-girlfriend. Pretty and evasive as a cherry blossom. When they were younger, she barged into his life unannounced and turned everything upside down. She discovered his darkest secret, and he made her pay the price. Drove her out of town. Hated and wanted her in equal measure.

It should deter him from chasing her to New York a decade later, but it doesn't. So she still hates him―big deal. She'll have to get used to him.

Because this time, he isn't going anywhere unless he's taking her with him.

Includes the prequel to the Sinners of Saint series: Defy

When young teacher Melody Greene accepts a job at All Saints High, she is surprised to find eighteen-year-old quarterback Jaime Followhill is determined to make her his. Lines begin to blur when Mel, who plays by the rules, falls for Jaime, who's sure she's his endgame.

Book 2 - Rukus:

"...I live for you. I breathe for you. I will die for you. It. Has. Always. Been. You."

No one has ever made Rosie LeBlanc feel more alive than the man who serves as a constant reminder that her clock is ticking. Dean Cole is her forbidden, shiny apple. A stubborn fallacy against her blunt, raw truth. Because Rosie has an illness. Cystic fibrosis. Sometimes she conquers it, but sometimes it conquers her. She knows she's more than her diagnosis, but she also knows she will not live a long, happy life with it. And the last thing she wants to do is start a relationship she knows is doomed to end in tragedy.

Least of all with her sister's ex-boyfriend.

But the truth is, Rosie saw Dean first. She craved him first. She loved him first. And now, eleven years later, he's come waltzing back into her life, demanding a second chance. He sees her walls, and he's determined to smash them down, even with his own demons at play.

He wants to be Rosie's white knight, whatever it takes…but he might just be too late.

Book 3 - Scandalous:

"I always enjoyed the broken in the fairy tales better. The apple always looked shinier because I knew it could destroy me."

Hard, cold, and calculated, Trent Rexroth rarely speaks, and when he does, it's with disdain. When he does, Edie Van Der Zee's stomach flips and her world tilts on its axis. But when he does, his words aren't meant for her.

He is thirty-three. She is eighteen. He's a single dad and Edie's father's business partner. She's a high school senior and his enemy's daughter. Even without any of that, Trent is emotionally unavailable―and yet, when Edie comes to intern at his office, she finds herself feeling everything she shouldn't for him.

But the two of them are doomed from the start. The writing isn't just on the wall―Edie's father wants dirt on Trent to cut him out of their business, and is blackmailing Edie into getting it for him. She's lying, stealing, plotting Trent's downfall, all the while fighting the forbidden heat between them.

She can't stay away. And as it turns out, neither can Trent.

A scandal is the last thing the Van Der Zee family needs. But a scandal is exactly what Edie's going to give them.

Book 4 - Bane:

"Snow White waited for the prince. You'll be the one saving yourself in this story."

Last Jesse heard, Roman "Bane" Protsenko, naked surfer and habitual pothead, was extorting the rich and screwing their wives for a living. Which is why she's more than a little surprised to find him at her door, looking for her friendship, her services, and most puzzling of all―looking humbled.

Her scarred heart calls to his, but Jesse is on a boycott. Literally. After all she's been through, she's cut boys from her life permanently. The problem is, Bane is not a boy. He's all man, and she's falling, crashing, drowning in his sweet, perfect lies.

Because to Bane, Jesse Carter―hot as hell, cold as ice―is just a means to an end. He made a deal with her oil tycoon stepfather, and she's collateral, a plaything for him to kill some time with on his path to power. She might be one tough nut to crack, but Bane has the teeth for it.

At least, until he finds that inside her damaged shell, Jesse has claws, too. And when she digs them in deep under his skin, Bane is no longer sure who he really is…or if he ever wants to let her go.
