After unknowingly saving a mafia boss from a botched bank robbery, Kiara accepts an offer to work for him as a translator, not realizing love may become part of the package. ***** Though Kiara Payne may be a genius when it comes to languages, what she knows of the real world largely comes from books and movies. But after foiling a robbery on her first day as a bank teller, Kiara finds herself thrust into a world of danger, her life resting in the hands of the infuriatingly sexy Italian mafia boss Milo Di Vaio. In exchange for her safety, Kiara agrees to serve as Milo's translator, accompanying him across Europe as he tries to clean up the mess his late brother left behind and save the reputation of the Di Vaio crime family. Cold, ruthless, and sinfully beautiful, Milo is hard to resist but even harder to love. As tensions rise and secrets are spilled, Milo and Kiara are both forced to question everything they thought they knew. Does love outweigh loyalty? And if so, is it worth dying for?

What will happen when the younger sister of the fighting world's leading underdog, Nico Chavez, lands a coveted PR internship for celebrity clients? For the past few years, Celeste Chavez has been living in her older brother's shadow as he's risen to fame as a top fighter. Celeste can't wait to embark on her own professional life when she lands the PR internship of her dreams. But when Celeste learns that her client is none other than Ethan Grable, her brother's biggest opponent and the reigning King in the Ring, she'll be forced to choose between family ties and career aspirations. Ethan Grable isn't like most of his opponents. He didn't start by fighting in the streets. Ethan is the son of a former professional athlete and has lived a life of privilege...not to mention an insurmountable pressure to succeed. His spoiled-rotten, party boy reputation is his outlet, and he has no problem playing into it. When Ethan finds out that his summer PR intern is a gorgeous young woman, he has zero complaints. But when he finds out that Celeste is actually Nico Chavez's younger sister, he has a choice to make. And knowing Ethan, it's not going to be the honorable one. Will Celeste choose family loyalty over professional opportunity? And will Ethan choose honesty over playing with fire? Can be read as a standalone fighter romance, or as a follow-on story to 'Against The Ropes' and 'In His Corner.'
