Not knowing he was the future Don of the Italian mafia, she asked him to marry her when she was just 12 years old. He promised to find her in 10 years and marry her. It was an empty promise but curious to find out how she grew up, he looked for her and from the first time he set his eyes on her, he knew he could never let her go. But she's promised to another, will her let her go or hold on to her and risk going to war with the Spanish mafia. "You are way too young to be thinking about marriage so how about this, 10 years from now I'll find you, and if you still want to marry me, then we'll get married" I said just to dismiss her "10 years? You promise you'll find me?" She asked and I nod "Okay. You better come or I'll find you and lock you up" "I will"

I agreed to tutor the hockey captain. Now I'm stuck pretending to be his girlfriend while he tries to convince me he's not as bad as I know him to be. My one goal is to graduate and get a job. Preferably without a mountain of debt. My current obstacle: Dallas Hawking. Captain of the hockey team, brawler, entitled douchebag. He thinks he's God's gift to women. Probably expects me to worship the ground he walks on. But he's paying me to tutor him. And to be his fake girlfriend. It's just one semester. What could possibly go wrong? A few months and then I don't have to ever see him again. Right? Welcome to UNI! This is the first book in the Pucking Lions series. A perfect place to start.

Princess Aulette Vezel has spent her entire life trapped behind the walls of Calimstone. As the future queen, her destiny was decided long ago. She will inherit a kingdom. She will marry for political gain. She will sacrifice her own desires for the good of her people. At least, that is what everyone expects. Then a new jester arrives at court. Warren was never supposed to notice her. Yet the first time he sees the princess kneeling on a palace floor, helping a frightened maid gather fallen fruit, something inside him changes. A princess should not have done that. A future queen should not have cared. But she did. And from that moment, Warren cannot look away. Against all reason, he falls. Hard. Fast. Completely. Determined to know the woman hidden beneath the crown, Warren boldly inserts himself into her life-teasing her, challenging her, and shattering every rule of royal etiquette along the way. He becomes the one person brave enough to tell her the truth, the one person who sees the loneliness behind her perfect composure. Aulette should hate him. In fact, she tries. Yet with every stolen conversation, every secret meeting, and every reckless smile, the infuriating jester begins to break down the walls she has spent her entire life building. For the first time, someone sees her not as a princess. Not as a future queen. Just as Aulette. But love has no place in a kingdom built on duty. As political tensions rise and neighboring kingdoms demand alliances, Aulette finds herself promised to a prince she has never known - a marriage that could secure peace for thousands. A prince for the kingdom. A jester for her heart. Caught between obligation and desire, Aulette must choose whether to follow the path written for her or risk everything for a love that was doomed from the very beginning. Because a princess may belong to a kingdom. But her heart never asked permission.

A princess to be wed A criminal turned Jester A love-story against all odds *Probably not historically accurate please don't attack me*

His hands itch for another game of cards, just one more round is his life motto. If he isn't losing money from the round table, he's losing it to his unstable mother.

She's always itching for another anxiety pill but she tells herself she's more than just her anxiety, it doesn't help that her father being in and out of jail helps. She lives her life a hundred miles an hour to match her constant heart beating until she sees him, a cigarette hanging between his lips and cards in his hands. This is Jaiden and Imogen's story. These characters are from my book called Locked Eyes, I recommend you read that first. Book 1- Locked Eyes Book 2- Gambling Love {All Rights Reserve}

[MAJOR EDITING] Aside from her breathtaking beauty and desirable personality the young spy Isabella Garcia is far from lovely. She's intelligent, dangerous, deadly, and positively any villain's worst nightmare. She's placed on a mission going undercover to win the trust and love of the most feared Don, Lorenzo Russo. Only to take down the powerful mafia he's built from nothing. She's determined to take down the handsome, cold, arrogant boss regardless of the tempting lustful desires. ...Or so she thought after one night takes a turn leading the original plan through stressful obstacles. What will happen when the hate and pretending between the two turns into forbidden love? Who will Isabella betray at the end, her agency or her love? ______ His hand remains on the back of my neck, the cold glass brushing my lips, and I drink. The bitter, acidic, tart fruit flavor overpowering the sweet cake. Lorenzo's light eyes darken with fierce, anger as he watches me swallow the wine then finally parting the glass away from my mouth. The cup almost shattering in his hold before letting it go onto the wooden table. His thumb grazed my lips, staining red with the leftover wine. He scans his finger then brings it to his mouth, his blazing look remaining back on me. My stomach is twisting. My universe is spinning with insanity. He speaks low so only we can hear, "Try that again Isabella and I'll have you wishing I poison you." Started 3/5/21
