Dakota is married now, softer, and trying to live clean, but Von still remembers every secret, every lie, and every touch. Between fatherhood, old wounds, and a body nobody ever found, love becomes the most dangerous thing they ever kept.

Blake Myers was supposed to be a lawyer, not a stripper. But when every door slammed in her face and debt doubled, she found herself dancing at Play Bunnies Den. One rule: No falling for the clients. Then Roman Ferrari walked in. Powerful. Cold. Death wrapped in a tailored suit. Roman doesn't chase women, he owns them. But when Blake dances for him, something cracks. She's fire he can't control, temptation he can't ignore. One dance turns into a dangerous obsession. One night drags her into his world of blood, secrets, and sin.

Ava Sinclair is desperate. Her father's rare illness is bankrupting her, and time is running out. In a last-ditch move, she joins Velvet Circle-an elite underground agency where powerful men pay fortunes for one night of total control. Xavier Blackwood doesn't do love. He's a billionaire who treats women like transactions: hot, hard, gone by morning. No strings. No repeats. Until Ava steps into his world. One contract. Fifty thousand dollars every time he calls. No feelings. No questions. Just her body on demand. But obsession creeps in fast. His hands can't get enough of her curves. Her moans start sounding like surrender. And the money can't drown out the truth they're both avoiding: What happens when "just sex" becomes something neither can walk away from? A raw, steamy, addictive billionaire romance packed with dominance, possession, and heat that burns everything down.

State of Affairs ⚖︎ "You missed a talking point on page four, Governor," I said, sliding the briefing file across his heavy mahogany desk. Tennyson didn't look at the file. His dark eyes stayed locked on my mouth, completely devoid of the golden-man charm he'd just fed to a crowd of thousands. "Lock the door, Milan," he murmured, his voice low and exhausted. "You have a press briefing in ten minutes, sir. And your wife is waiting in the lobby." He stepped around the desk, invading my space until the scent of cedar and expensive bourbon swallowed me whole. His hand brushed my waist, his thumb pressing possessively against my hip. "I don't care," he breathed, his facade finally shattering. "Lock the damn door." 🏛️ To the world, 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐲𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐬 is untouchable. He is the state's golden man, a devoted husband, and a man with a spotless reputation. Everyone worships the ground he walks on. Everyone except his executive assistant, 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐊𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐚. Milan has a strict two-year plan: survive the Governor's temper, secure her recommendation letter, and catch a one-way flight to Washington, D.C. Her job description: hand him his black coffee, fix his crooked ties, and treat the most powerful man in the state like a normal human being. But her immunity is exactly what breaks him. Behind the heavy oak doors of his office, Tennyson sheds his perfect mask. He is cynical, ruthless, and spiraling into a dark, desperate obsession with the only woman who doesn't want anything from him. He becomes addicted to her warmth and slowly to her. As late nights at the office blur into a secret arrangement, Milan thinks she has the situation under control. But she doesn't know that Tennyson's public life is a PR lie. She doesn't know that the Governor has absolutely no intention of letting her go. 'Cause what the Governor needs, the Governor gets.

I'm outside. Snow poured from the sky. The type of heavy snowfall that blanketed the ground and would harden overnight. He didn't have long before the area would be impossible to navigate. The clock was ticking. Christmas was fleeting. The love she had for him a flicker of light inside of the darkness. It was complex and yes, wrong from a moral standpoint, but her love felt so real to his body that he could feel it searing hot inside of his veins. He 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙ed her more than the air he breathed every single day. Therefore, he set out into the snowstorm with his eyes fixed on the glowing light of her bedroom.

Where she falls first, but he falls harder. Viviana Diaz was never supposed to exist- -not to the dark world her father served, and definitely not to 𝒉𝒊𝒎. Hidden behind the walls of the Diaz estate, she learned early that silence keeps you safe... and obedience keeps you alive. Then came Dominic Orsini. The man she was forced to marry for reasons she was never told. But the moment he meets her eyes, something in him shifts. He senses it-the fear she hides, the bruised truth she won't speak. And for the first time in his life, control isn't enough. He wants to protect her, even if it means burning down the world that built them both. What starts as an arrangement becomes something far messier-raw, consuming, and impossibly real. Because loving her isn't safe. It's war. This isn't a fairytale. It's what happens when two broken souls fall for each other anyway.
