But when his friend, and business partner, suggests that his daughter, nineteen-year-old Olivia Davis, should babysit for him things begin to change. Brett notices how Olivia isn't the baby he once held years ago anymore, and that she had matured into a young woman who was perfect, inside and out. What happens when attraction comes into play? It's wrong, they both know that, but is it enough to stop the burning desire they feel for each other?

Liam Knight, a 28-year-old assigned as a personal bodyguard for his boss's sister. Phoebe Black, a 27-year-old who's only ever known how to be independent, and focus on herself and her business. At first she resents him, and hates him being around. But somewhere along the way she begins to grow fond of his flirty personality, and enjoys his company. And when they give in to the temptation of one another, will one night of hot-headed passion be enough? Or will it become more?

Deadly assassins Allegra and Ace have been trying in vain to kill each other for years. With a mutual enemy threatening their mafias, they find themselves in an unexpected alliance, and soon discover killing each other isn't the only temptation they need to resist... ****** Allegra Grey is poised to be the next great American mafia leader, and she's more than living up to the name. A skilled assassin, there's only one target who's ever gotten away from her-suave, sinfully handsome Ace De Luca, heir to the Italian mafia and the Greys' biggest rival. When both mafias are faced with a dangerous threat, they're forced to work together to protect their families, and unexpected sparks fly. Allegra definitely isn't one to sleep with the enemy, especially an arrogant womanizer like Ace. But there's an undeniable electricity between them and Allegra's not sure it's all hatred. Ace may be bad news, but Allegra's never been afraid of a little danger. As the fire they're playing with grows to a scorching blaze, one thing is clear: trying to kill each other may have been difficult, but resisting this intense chemistry will be impossible.
