What would be simple for most people: go to their dream college, get a good education, pursue the career of their dreams, and fall in love along the way- is complicated for Raegan Donovan. In high school when college is talked about and applied to, it feels like distant endeavors. You don't actually consider getting in or paying for it yet because it feels like a fantasy. So when Raegan gets into her dream school she's over the moon- until she gets her first tuition bill. A financial burden she can't possibly put on her family. But Stanford Medical School doesn't come cheap and she finds herself stepping through the threshold of Temptations Exotic Dancers Club...and leaving as Ginger, their newest dancer. Now Raegan has a secret and is struggling to find time for anything besides keeping it and school. If she focused on anything else, her secret might slip through the cracks and break her families hearts. What would her family and friends think if they find out they know nothing about the person they care about most? Enter Orion Miller, business mogul and Bay Areas Hottest Bachelor. Orion pushes his way into her life, whether she is ready or not, and Raegan is forced to let someone in and see a side of her nobody knows. But Orion isn't the only one vying for Raegan's attention.

----- In serious need of revision! ----- Wanna-be journalist Kate Santoro would do anything for the scoop. Anything. Including finding her way into an underground club exclusive to only those in the Genovese mafia and the beautiful women they employee. What could be more perfect? She would stick to the shadows, snap a few videos, and write the biggest story New York has ever seen, therein making her a legend! Easy as pie. Until she gets found. A series of blatant lies and lucky breaks later and she is mistaken to be one of the workers underneath. While many might be terrified of this predicament Kate couldn't be more excited. The freedom to roam the area and talk to the members of the infamous brotherhood will leave no rock unturned. All she has to do is keep her cover until the night is over and the workers go home. What a fantastic position she is in! There are just two problems. One being him. Alessio. The Don, the Godfather, the Capo di tutti capi (the boss of bosses) who has taken a keen interest in Kate. Even that is something she could probably handle for one night. Except problem number two. They don't leave. Not at the end of the night, the end of the week, or even the end of the month. Alessio's interest in Kate threatens to expose her, something she would surely die from. He knows she doesn't belong but it's not as though she could have just waltzed in, right? By the time Kate realizes that not even the greatest scoop is worth the price, she is in far too deep to call it quits now. ~~~Praise for When The Sun Goes Down~~~ Natasha427: "It was so captivating that I may or may not have spent the last several hours holed up in my room frantically scrolling down to read more.
