[preview] "The Stripper and the Mob Boss" ❦ A sickness of Anastasia's sister leads her towards a huge debt. When her friend comes to her with a solution that would make her go from rags to riches, Anastasia immediately accepts even if that meant stripping. Everything was running smoothly until she was met with the scary notorious mafia leader, Valentino Romano.

Who are you?" she asked, fear clear in her eyes as she stared. He smirked. "Mr. Romano. Now, open your legs."

Southern boys are supposed to be charming, right? Wrong. Because when Leighton moves onto her family friend's farm for the summer, she finds that their son, Nick, is anything but charming.

But they're stuck there for the summer, and while the farm is bigger than her home in the city, it's not big enough. Forced into being together, his resolve begins to crack, and sparks begin to fly. Through it all, she realizes that maybe, just maybe, his southern charm is there after all.
