Dear Readers,
As I sit here reflecting on the journey of creating this story, my heart is filled with immense gratitude for each and every one of you who have taken the time to dive into this world. Writing this book has been an incredible adventure—one full of late nights, countless cups of coffee, and an abundance of emotions. To know that you've chosen to spend your precious time with Logan and Bethany's story means more to me than words could ever express.
This story is about love, ambition, trust, and resilience, but most importantly, it's about finding yourself in the chaos of life. Bethany and Logan's journey wasn't always smooth, but neither is life—and that's what makes it so worth living. Through their struggles and triumphs, I hope you found pieces of yourself reflected in their experiences, and perhaps even some hope or inspiration to carry forward in your own story.
To those of you who have rooted for Bethany and Logan, laughed with them, cried with them, and maybe even yelled at them a little along the way, thank you. Your investment in these characters breathes life into them, making all the hard work worthwhile.
This book is only the beginning, and I am thrilled to tell you there is more to come. The twists and turns, the love and challenges—Bethany and Logan's story is far from over. The next chapter in their journey will unravel truths, deepen relationships, and test their strength in ways they never imagined. I cannot wait to share it with you.
Thank you for your support, your kind words, and your belief in this story. Whether you're a seasoned romance reader or just stumbled upon this book by chance, your presence here is a gift I'll never take for granted.
Here's to love, to courage, and to the stories that connect us all.
With all my heart,

DELUCA
Eleanor never imagined her simple act of friendship would lead her into a whirlwind of danger and deceit. When her mother's battle with cancer reaches a critical point, Eleanor finds herself accepting a seemingly straightforward arrangement with her only friend, Giuseppe DeLuca. In exchange for financial support for her mother's treatment, Eleanor agrees to travel halfway around the world to marry Giuseppe's enigmatic brother, Francesco.
However, just moments before the wedding, Eleanor discovers that her groom is not the average millionaire she had been led to believe. Francesco DeLuca is, in fact, the formidable leader of the Sicilian Mafia. What was supposed to be a two-week charade-during which Francesco would help his friend smuggle guns into the country-takes a dramatic turn when Francesco falls for Eleanor the moment he lays eyes on her.
As Eleanor struggles to navigate the treacherous waters of her new life, Francesco grapples with keeping his criminal empire a secret while proving his love and commitment to Eleanor. Their budding romance is tested by the dual threats of betrayal from unexpected quarters and the danger lurking in Francesco's clandestine world.
Caught between love and loyalty, Eleanor and Francesco must confront their darkest fears and deepest desires. With both their lives and hearts on the line, can they find a way to protect their newfound love from the forces that threaten to tear them apart?
SECRET SERVICE
When Gwendolyn Cavanaugh's guard, granted to her by the United States Secret Service, is brutally killed by what is thought to be an emphatic stalker, her father, The President of the United States, hires a private bodyguard - Alaric O'Sullivan, to pretend to be her boyfriend until they find the killer.
Alaric is not a man of honor like Gwendolyn thinks. He is a man from The President's not-too-patriotic past, but with his willingness to cross the line between good and bad, The President trusts Alaric to find the stalker and deal with them in a less-than-ethical way.
Alaric had never expected that while pretending to date the President's Daughter, he would grow real feelings for her. Deciding he will stop at nothing to protect her, even if that means crossing the professional line.
Vidal
After her mother's death, Camilla Hale has settled into a predictable, monotonous life working as an assistant for Kevin, the son of one of New York's most renowned defense attorneys, Kevin Sharpe. When Kevin takes on a powerful new client, Aleks Andreev, Camilla is pulled into a world of danger far beyond anything she's known. Amidst this chaos, she meets Enzo Vidal-a man whose quiet intensity immediately draws her in.
Enzo Vidal has spent years as a skilled hitman, navigating the treacherous underworld of New York under the mentorship and friendship of Francesco DeLuca, one of Italy's most dangerous crime bosses. The two share a deep bond, built on loyalty and mutual respect. But when Enzo is assigned a task that seems too simple- determine if Camilla is truly Francesco's half-sister-he finds himself unexpectedly drawn to her, struggling to keep his professional and personal lives separate.
As Enzo's feelings for Camilla grow, he's caught in a web of conflicting loyalties. He has to make the choice: follow his heart or his loyalties.
As secrets unravel and Camilla becomes entangled in a dangerous game she didn't ask to play, Enzo must decide if he's willing to risk everything for love-or if the threat of street politics will doom them all.
HIS TO RUIN
Davina James thought she'd escaped the worst of it.
After years trapped in an abusive relationship with a rising New York crime lord, she finally breaks free-disappearing into the shadows of Las Vegas with nothing but a duffel bag of cash and a promise her brother made years ago: If you ever decide to leave him, I'll be here.
Desperate to survive without exposing her past, Davina takes a job as a bartender at La Rosa Nera-the most exclusive strip club on the Strip. What she doesn't know is that the club is owned by Lucian Accardi, a man far more dangerous than the one she fled.
Lucian rules the Las Vegas underworld with silence and blood. He watches everything. Misses nothing. And the moment Davina walks through his doors, he wants her.
Soft-spoken. Bruised. Hiding something.
Lucian sees it all.
And worse-he decides she's his.
But claiming her comes with a price. Davina's brother is the detective hunting Lucian's empire from the inside. Her past is a powder keg waiting to ignite. And Lucian? He doesn't do love.
He does possession.
Twisted loyalty. Forbidden attraction. Power. Control.
In this world, survival means surrender.
And surrendering to a man like Lucian Accardi might just ruin her... or set her free.
