Enemies To Lovers Romance. BOOK ONE. In Edward Larsson's world, control meant everything. After his father passed down the family business into his more than capable hands two years ago, he stopped at nothing to get what he wanted. Power, greed and success was his mantra, and nothing would stop him from living it. Until Delilah... Like Edward, Delilah was fighting tooth and nail to make something of her father's business. But for very different reasons. Delilah's father was sick and to afford the healthcare he needed, she had to pull the dying company from the ground to its old ways. So when a chance of a lifetime was thrown her way, she couldn't believe her luck. One she could not afford to ruin. The only problem? Edward wanted in too, and he didn't care who he hurt in the process. PLEASE NOTE: Chapters 40 onwards are paywalled as part of the Exclusive Chapters program Warning: Love in the Dark contains swearing, sexual situations and adult themes. 17+ recommended.

(Sample. Watch out for the official book release on January 31, 2015!) The women in Brianne Montgomery's family have a curse. And she isn't going to be the first one to break it. At the age of fourteen, she decided she will be married before she was thirty. Her life seemed perfect. Her parents were happily married. She has a wonderful brother who looks out for her. The only thing she hates about it is Travis Cross, her brother's annoying best friend, a.k.a. the boy who sleeps in the guest room and her worst enemy. Her life took a sudden three-sixty, with a tragedy that made her lose everything she held dear in her perfect life. But amidst all that, Travis swore that he will protect Brianne for the rest of his life. Soon, their hate relationship turned into an unbreakable bond of brotherly love and friendship. But their dependent and comfortable friendship will always be complicated because although Travis promised to protect her at all times, at all costs, there's a beast inside him that craves for Brianne like a drug. And Brianne isn't always immune to Travis's charms. But she already lost so much and Travis has become the most important thing she couldn't afford to gamble with. This romance novel starts when the characters were fifteen years old and followed their lives into adulthood and all the complications in it including sexual tensions and raging hormones, dealing with family, death and teen peer pressure... all of which make up the deep and unbreakable connection of Travis and Brianne. A relationship so beautiful, they're afraid to risk it for anything... not even for love itself.

I can't afford to have her blood on my hands." Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind. The slaughter. Bodies everywhere.
