When a scandal forces hockey star Amelia Bennett into a fake relationship with guarded photographer Harper Lane, neither expects the headlines, or the feelings, that follow. What starts as a PR stunt begins to spark into something real, threatening to expose more than just their hearts. *** She's the world's best hockey player. She's a heartbroken photographer with nowhere else to go. And they were never supposed to fall in love. At 24, Amelia Bennett is the most talented hockey player on the planet-chaotic, impulsive, and the last Bennett standing without a ring on her finger. After a very public scandal threatens her sponsorships and reputation, the team's PR crisis plan is simple: clean up her image fast. Step one? A fake relationship. Something that should be easy, right? Harper Lane has no interest in fame, or falling for another golden boy-or girl-with a spotlight stitched into their skin. After catching her long-term boyfriend cheating, she's sworn off chaos and charm. But when her best friend Audrey begs her to stay with Millie temporarily, Harper finds herself in the middle of a media storm-and somehow agreeing to pretend to be Millie Bennett's girlfriend. It's only for the cameras. Just long enough to fix Millie's image. Just enough to keep Harper's ex boyfriend off her back. But fake smiles turn into real moments. Cold shoulders warm under shared blankets. And the girl Harper was warned about-the reckless, beautiful mess, is nothing like the one who makes her tea when she's anxious and kisses her like she means it. In a house built on secrets, one accidental love story is about to make headlines.

On a quiet Christmas Eve, a man the world barely knows is reminded why his name was once feared. Alessandro Vittorio DeLuca is not just a businessman.He is a ghost of the underworld.A king who walked away from bloodshed... and built a life for his family. Until that life is destroyed. One brutal night shatters everything he tried to protect-his wife murdered, his son taken from him, and his two daughters dragged into a hidden world of trafficking and underground auctions run by powerful criminals who have no idea who they've just crossed. They made one mistake. They took the daughters of the Devil of Mercy Street. Now, Alessandro returns. What follows is not a rescue mission.It is a war. From burning warehouses to offshore black-market auctions, from shadowy cartels to secret empires built on human lives, Alessandro begins a relentless hunt across continents-unleashing a level of precision, brutality, and strategy the underworld has not seen in decades. But he is not the only one playing the game. Behind the scenes, a mysterious figure known only as The Broker controls a global trafficking network so vast, so hidden, it has never been touched. Until now. As bullets tear through the night and alliances crumble, two young girls refuse to be victims. Trapped inside the system meant to break them, Aurora and Sofia begin fighting back from within-learning, planning, and turning fear into resistance. Every move leads to one inevitable collision. A storm of fire.A battlefield in the shadows.A final reckoning where kings fall and empires burn. Because in this world, there are only two kinds of men: Those who rule in the dark...And those who survive it. And when you take everything from a man who has nothing left to lose- You don't get revenge. You get annihilation.

KISSING IS THE EASY PART is published by Wattpad Books. Please order from the link in my profile. *** Being beautiful might as well be Flora Morgan's only talent. Some of the words she hates include economy class, second-hand clothes, and budget. She likes fashion, dating, not being on time and getting what she wants - until she meets Sean, who is like the clock striking midnight; he erases all her magic power. He is as mature and sophisticated as the dark roasted coffee he drinks, while she is like a lollipop: colorful, dazzling on the outside but empty calories and artificial sweeteners on the inside. The attraction is instant, but getting a kiss is only the first step. To keep their fire burning, they must accept each other's differences and decide if what they're building is strong enough to survive trials, jealousy, expectations, and the fear of becoming someone they no longer recognize.
