"The Caregiver and the Mob Boss" ❦ Avelina makes her money by taking care of those who can't take care of themselves. When she is handed a case about a man who had needed a personal caregiver, she accepts. One thing Avelina never anticipated was the dangerous lifestyle he lived. Not only that, but she didn't expect for him to be so incredibly good-looking. Adrik Zolotov, the Russian mobster that everyone called "Mad Hatter". His insanity and crave for blood left him the most feared man of all. All he wanted was power and those around him to fear him. For a man recently diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, everyone believed him to be emotionally incapable of ever loving anyone. . . Imagine their surprise when he meets Avelina. ❦ "Mr. Zolotov, I have to make sure you bathe before I leave. It's apart of my jobs protocol," she said softly. The truth was that he made her feel nervous. There was so much coldness and evil in his eyes, it left a chill to run down her spine. "Fine," he stated before walking over to his bathtub. Her eyes followed his movements as he pulled off his shirt causing her to lick her lips and quickly look away. She could hear the sound of more clothes falling onto the ground until the sound of water running littered her eardrums. "You assist when asked, isn't that right?" He asked. Slowly, she opened her eyes to see that he had already gotten into the shower. "Yes," Avelina answered. "Bathe me." ❦ Dangerously far from cliché

She nodded solemnly. "With my girl charm and my pretty dress. But now I just feel like a hot pile of creamed corn." I dragged a hand over my face. "You need water. And sleep." "I need closure." "Sunshine..." "No," she said, standing straighter and stabbing a finger into my chest. "You don't get to look like that and make me feel feelings and then just go all mysterious and noble and disappear like a sexy hitman Batman." "Sexy hitman Batman?" "I had a lot of wine." "I noticed." ●・○・●・○・● She bakes cookies. He breaks bones. Everyone in the city fears mafia boss Dominic Moretti-everyone except Tessa Bloom, the relentlessly cheerful café owner next door to his front business.

Dominic doesn't have time for distractions-especially not sweet, sunshine-eyed distractions with flour on their noses. But when Tessa finds herself tangled in the underworld he's spent a lifetime controlling, protecting her becomes more than a duty. It becomes personal.

Mikhail Melnik was the top realtor in all of Texas. He loved what he did and excelled in every avenue with his older brother by his side. Matvei Melnik was significantly rough around the edges when compared to his angelic younger brother, but the varying strengths they brought to their Realty and Construction business made it the success it was. Matvei handled the building of the homes, while Mikhail handled the selling. They had a well oiled machine running and for years everything was status quo. The two had work figured out to a tee, but their love lives were in shambles. Mikhail was too much of a lover and gentleman for the women he encountered and Matvei was a hit it and quit type of man. Mikhail wanted more and Matvei took joy in easy and noncommittal flings. They got the shock of their lives when Alyssa Jacobs stormed into their office one afternoon angrier than all get out. Mikhail was enamored the moment their eyes met and he heard her very southern voice. Matvei immediately knew he'd hate her for the feelings she pulled out. Sometimes love doesn't look like how society tells you it should. Sometimes love has its own narrative that is unique, flawed but special nonetheless. However, regardless of how love looks you know it's good when it's hopelessly devoted.

A Don with no concept of what love entails stubbles upon a Nurse who sets his heart straight.
