About this listen
Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.
I used to fantasize about meeting a masked madman who would love me endlessly and obsessively. He would look after me in a world where no one else did. He would manipulate all the strings that held up my life until I had exactly the one I wanted.
And then one night, I met him. Only he wasn't the hero I always imagined he would be.
When we left the forest together that night, I thought I'd escaped the villains relatively unscathed, but my true villain was the man whose arms I felt safest in. He was the one who would tear me apart.
Now I know the only way to save myself is to stay far away from Killian Walsh. But no matter how fast I run, he won't stop chasing me.
He knows the best thing he could do for me is set me free. But he's too selfish to do it.
He calls me reckless, but I think he's crazy. Killian Walsh will let the flames consume us both before he will ever let me go.
Brutal Ambition is a full-length secret society romance for mature listeners. This story is a spinoff of the Coastal Elite series but can be enjoyed as a standalone. The timeline of this book coincides with the fourth Coastal Elite book, Surrender.

Story
It’s complicated. Two years ago, he broke my heart when he left me to do his father’s bidding. After months of crying, I finally accepted he was gone and wasn’t going to look back. That maybe he’d never loved me at all. I never wanted to see Luca again. Now, a cruel twist of fate has signed me over to him in a heartless deal. I’m his. He thinks he did me a favor, but I feel like I’ve been given a death sentence. He doesn't want to get married because he still loves me. No, he did it for money. More power.

Story
Beck Wolffbrandt is not good for me—he's not good period. He is unhinged; without abandon. His darkness calls to the depraved parts of me, relieving me of all rational thought processes. I can't help but want all the things he thinks he can't offer me. My pursuit of him quickly morphs into a dangerous game I'm not sure either of us can win. I'm willing to risk everything to show him what we could be. Including my life.

Story
Hockey guys are off limits—and yet, one has set me in his sights, and I have no chance of escaping. Camden Church is the guy I should’ve stayed away from. But when he mistakes my identity, I don’t correct him. I let him break all my rules. It’s a night I’ll never forget—not that he’ll ever let me. If my brother discovers our secret, he could jeopardize Camden’s pro hockey career and end it before it’s begun. Camden thinks I’m going to rat him out, but he’s wrong. I’d rather let him drag me into ruin than admit my most hidden desire: I like the dark, twisted things he does to me.

Stone was my best friend. My protector. My everything. Until he wasn’t. Kids like us didn’t have the best life, riddled with trauma, bounced around in a system that didn’t want us and couldn’t handle us. In our darkest hours, we had each other. Until we didn’t. We tried to hold on to what little we had. Maneuvering the rough waters of our circumstance. Until I couldn’t.

Pretending to date my handsome new housemate was already a bad idea, but then I discover he’s no ordinary guy—he’s a mobster in hiding. And in this story, he’s not the hero, but the wicked villain. Rowan Miller isn’t used to hearing the word “no.” I guess when you’re 6’5, gorgeously tattooed, and sculpted like a Michelangelo masterpiece, women tend to throw themselves at you. But in a small town like Darkwater Hollow, a reputation as a womanizer will catch up with you—and your business—eventually.

It's scary how much life can change in an instant. One minute I'm preparing for a new school year in my San Diego town, and the next I'm being ripped from my childhood home. Making the cut from my father's death two years ago that much deeper. Not only am I being forced to leave a place that reminds me so much of him, but I'm being forced to move hundreds of miles across the country to a city I've only learned about through Mom and social media.

The last thing I expected when I married at twenty-two was to remain a virgin at twenty-four. My husband didn’t want me; he married me out of obligation rather than love, and I thought nothing could hurt worse than that. But my solution, marriage counseling, was only the beginning. The first time I saw Shane, I knew I was boarding an express bus to hell because my husband never made me feel a flicker of that spark, and that was before we shook hands.

The first time I saw Shane, I knew I was boarding an express bus to hell because my husband never made me feel a flicker of that spark, and that was before we shook hands.

Story
Reign Thorn was my best friend turned enemy. But we both know this thing between us is more than just a rivalry. I remember the exact day Reign and I ended our childhood friendship. One terrible accident, and I was to blame. That same year, everything fell apart while my friendship with Reign became a rivalry of epic proportions. He was the boy who held my hand when I lost my mom—the boy who taught me the love of the game. Then suddenly, he was gone, and in his place was a calculating, ruthless opponent, both on and off the ice.

Story
You’ve heard of these groups–the secretive ones that only the crème de la crème are invited into, the ones outsiders speculate about for centuries–I’m the second in my family invited to attend, but to them, I’m fresh meat. New blood. New money, too. They think they’ll elbow past me, that I’m here for their amusement, for them to walk all over, they’ll find out soon enough that I’m not. I may look like one of them, with my designer bags and clothes straight from the Parisian runways, but I’m not.

Story
It’s been six years since my last confession. Once, I was an innocent. My life was a rose-colored dream with four best friends by my side: Eternity, Heath, Angel, and Saint—my big brother and my hero. When Eternity was murdered, everything changed. My family put me in hiding to protect me. But no one can hide forever. Now I’m back, attending a tiny Catholic college and attempting to move on with my life with the help of the sinfully tempting priest, Father Salvatore. I never expected to find Heath, Angel, and Saint roaming the halls of Thorncrown University, thirsting for vengeance.

I can’t stand when the character is supposedly ridiculously beautiful and extremely smart but then no evidence of the said intelligence… every single action is filled with idiotic inner monologues and stupid actions… no sign of intelligence anywhere….this grinds my gears I’m like was it necessary? We didn’t need to know the actual major… so, goes without saying that I hated that they focused on STEM major but she hardly studied… Killian seemed to study more than her… I wish she was studying a humanities major or something… it just felt like just major to impress… because who says “chatter excitedly about space stuff” no one in STEM I can tell you that….I don’t know… I haven’t read a ton of Sam Mariano’s books and loved almost all of them but this one is tough to get through only chapter 19 in and I think there’s 51. I wish there was more his POV because her POV irritated me to no end…the inability to think, constantly leaving her head how is Killian thinking she’s anywhere near strong? Like the holier than thou behavior she has was ridiculous… the repetitions? she’s always scared and she “doesn’t say anything” then she tells her roommate? She’s not a good friend, even individually a good person…oh let’s not forget how so freakin childish and for someone who’s not her boyfriend she needed a lot of reassurance and it was weird AF! And the stupid lies, she’s in a sorority? Like it’s not hard to find out she’s not one 🙄 (scientist don’t do this, they’re more analytical and have independent thinking Brynn is not. I would have respected her more if she was undecided for a major… I don’t know why I’m irrationally irritated by her “biology” major and she’s falling over herself being stupid and her main thing is trying to fit in a sorority… never heard of biology major or anyone in STEM really caring that much about clothes and belonging to vain sorority especially with her reasoning to why she joined the college) the deer in a headlights look every chapter was not cute at all! And the whining!!! Oh the whining!!! The complaints…. she wants the rich guy, so obvious! 🙄 the pretending was so obvious it was annoying…
oh and She doesn’t want anything going to her roommate but lies that she’s going there…? Seriously? Like she’s not connecting anything… they’re both dumb! There’s no connection just two people thrown together really…
I really Needed to hear Teddy Hamilton more…just can’t imagine having Teddy Hamilton and he’s not narrating more… the horror!’ Clutched my invisible pearls…
I’m disappointed…
