Café Rouge is the small french cafe that Lola's father has poured his heart and soul into. She'd never thought, he'd acquired it through...darker means. The Italian mob to be more precise. Now it's collection time and Lola's paying the price. Trading herself for her father's life-Lola finds herself in the hands of the incredibly frustrating, confusing and very good looking mob son's boss-Carlos. She's convinced that with Carlos there's nothing more than what meets the eye; a cold-hearted, killer but could she be wrong? Warning: First chapter goes fast since it was taken from a One-Shot. I will be editing this along with the rest of the book much later so bear in mind the story does get better :)

For those unwilling to let the Carters go, this is future/past/present one-shot chapters of the characters from all 4 books.

She is new in town with an abusive father, so when she meets the Alpha werewolf she decides one dominant male is enough for her - so she runs from him.

She is a stranger to him. He is a stranger to her. She's simple and nice. He's a playboy. Will he ever change? They were both at a bar that same night. And when he thought it is going to be just another ordinary bar night, -- he's wrong, and everything is going to change. One dare -– and their paths crossed for the first time.
