Can be read as a Standalone. || Book 1 of Fatal Alliances Series ************ Sofia Reyes has fought her way to the top of New York's legal scene, hiding scars she can't fully remember. But just as she's about to claim the promotion for Junior Manager she's worked so hard for, her best friend, and her boss's fiancée, Kiara, disappears. This forces Sofia into a marriage she never asked for; an alliance bound by secrets, contracts, and survival. Xavier Kingston is everything she loathes: ruthless, cunning, and impossibly arrogant. Yet behind his cold, calculating exterior lies a hunger for something real, something neither of them dares to admit. As Sofia navigates their fake marriage, the line between duty and desire blurs dangerously. Their chemistry ignites, but the truths Sofia uncovers: about the law firm, Kiara's disappearance, and her own hidden past, threaten to destroy everything. In a world of billion-dollar deals, betrayals, and forbidden glances, love might just be the deadliest game of all. **Cover image by Freepik**

It was hard hating someone so much you start to obsess over them. Then again, it really was a small line between love and hate. Jason: I knew he saw me. His blue eyes wide and lips parted. So fucking beautiful. I was supposed to hate him, but the second I saw the unmistakable lust in his gaze, I was gone. Charlie: Out of all the things I had expected to come across in my life, Jason Pierce getting head wasn't one of them. That would've been totally normal at a Highschool party if it wasn't for the fact that it was from a guy. Shit.

"They say that legends are born and legends are made. I believe that the word 'legend' is simply one of many labels people are classified by." Zitel Kleinhart. Everyone in the Medubi family opines that Granny T is an eccentric, old woman who is clearly a foot into her grave. With her greying, but well kept afro and her boot cut jeans from the eighties, she swaggers around town, or at least thinks she does. With the effects of the coronavirus hanging over everyone's necks like the sharpened axe of a seasoned executioner, life only seems to get worse. Contrary to popular belief, Granny T is not senile. And when tougher times arise, her wit and ingenuity keep her loved ones safe and out of harm's way.
