Alyssa Monroe built her life around giving - warm coats, hot meals, and second chances. Her non-profit, The Monroe Foundation, is the city's holiday heartbeat. To raise more funds, she announces a playful challenge at her annual gala: 𝙒𝙝𝙤𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝘿𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙢𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙢𝙚, 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙. She never expected Christopher Green to win. He's the city's coldest businessman, feared in the streets, and the last person she wants tied to her name. But when he drops six figures and shows up ready to play the part, Alyssa realizes there's more to him than rumors. He's chaos where she craves calm, temptation where she promised control-and somehow, the one person who makes her heart feel like home again. Because underneath the lights, the charity, and the snow, she learns one thing for sure 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜.

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇- He told her one thing "you ain't see shit if you wanna keep that pretty face connected to your body." She was never supposed to cross paths with Giomani "Gio" Blackwood, suit-wearing, gun-toting underboss of New York's most feared family. But one wrong night put her in his world, and Gio don't believe in coincidences. Now she's tied to the man the streets call a monster. And the craziest part? The more she learns about him, the harder it gets to hate him. Cold. Calculated. Fine as hell. Gio runs everything - and when his father steps down, he's coming for the throne. But love and loyalty don't mix in the mafia. And in Gio's world, you either with him... or you against him. Ain't no in-between.

Zahara Wells never believed love could feel like punishment-until her father's debt became her price. When the Brewsters come calling to collect, she expects threats, maybe violence... not a proposal. Now bound to David Brewster III, the cold and calculated heir to Miami's most dangerous family, Zahara is forced into a world of money, blood, and silent wars. Her job? Play the perfect wife, smile for the cameras, and remember she's only there because her father owed him. But David doesn't want her obedience-he wants her loyalty. And the longer she stays, the more she realizes his touch feels less like control and more like protection. Still, in a world built on power and payback, falling for the man who owns you might be the deadliest mistake of all. Because nothing in the Brewster empire comes free. Not money. Not loyalty. Not love. Only The Contract. Coverrr by @TrenchLordTales <3
