There are many lines in this world we shouldn't cross: the line between right and wrong, the line between ethics and morals, the line between love and hate... There are many lines that are drawn out for a reason, but they're also drawn out thin, making it impossible to not slip to the other side at least once. ------------- Hannah Hale has never been one to cross the lines. She's never desired to. When her best friend Olivia forces her to sneak into a club one night, she's already crossed the line of right and wrong. Getting caught at the wrong place at just the right time throws Hannah into a whole new world that she never knew about. A world that causes her to cross every line possible. Ace Russo is the heir to the Sicilian Mafia. He's cold, evil, and ruthless. Most importantly, he has no problem crossing the lines. When a drug deal in America goes awry, he's forced to cross the line, and border, by kidnapping a witness and holding her hostage in Sicily. The question is, should lines ever be crossed?

Fifty thousand dollars in exchange for three weeks of sheer commitment and consented submission. It was a simple proposal from the employer to an employee until feelings got in the way. Being a college student and the legal guardian of her two siblings, Arabella Lincoln has a lot on her plate. Money has always been the issue; more bills and expenses every single day, with only meagre part-time wages to cover it all. It was supposed to be pure business with no strings attached; do what he says, and get paid in the end. That was the agreement, and Arabella knew it was like a road to her way home. But what if there's more to him than he lets on? What if each layer she peels off renders her tied to his myriad shades of mystery pulling her closer like a super magnet? He's like a tornado, wrecking her up. But then he's like a touch of sun, thawing the frozen river in her after a long excruciating winter. Drawn to her world of normalcy and simple joy he never knew existed, Adrian Castle discovers more about himself, about her, and letting go becomes more painful than anything he's ever felt in his entire existence. But business is business. He needs to walk away when the deal is done. He's the last person to provide her the love and security she deserves. He's the danger. Will he let her in knowing full well that she doesn't belong to his world full of darkness? The world he so badly tried to escape.

Annalisa McKnight was anxiously searching though her bag for her cell phone. ''No no please' she begged she was starting to get nervous because she couldn't find it. 'I can't lose that phone 'she thought to herself. It was a birthday gift from her mother just days before she passed away, and Annalisa cherished it dearly. Not because of its technical features but because it was the closest and last of her mothers memories. Realizing it must have fallen out in her last class. Spanish, she quickly zipped up her, bag it threw it over her shoulder and headed back to the schools entrance, in hopes that one of the caretakers would allow her in. For once it seems like luck was on her side, she saw her Spanish teacher, Mr. Ariaz's car still parked. She took a deep breath and walked into the familiar but now quiet corridors then headed to her Spanish class. The door was partly open and she was just about to knock when the weirdest noises coming from inside the room stopped her. Reluctantly she pushed the door open and her eyes widened in shock.
