Carina Romanov is a 27 year old business woman. Her Russian parents, Boris and Nadia Romanov, adopted her when she was 5 from an orphanage in New York. Ever since then she has called Brighton Beach her home. She had seen and heard many things through the years but what made Carina a favorite was the fact that she was loyal and trustworthy. She never revealed any of what she'd been privy to. When her parents decided to retire she took over Romanov's, their restaurant, remodeled it and made it an even more popular spot among the locals, especially anyone in organized crime. When Carina was 10 her mother told her that she would be betrothed to someone in Russia. Dimitri Alexandrov. Their families had been connected for many years and because Carina had been in this type of life for years it was not a shock to her. For 17 years she would get letters, phone calls and sometimes packages from Dimitri but she'd never met the man. She was always told that one day he would just show up and her new life would begin...but until then she would have to settle for images that the sound of his voice would invoke, learn to trust him to keep her safe and forgive those closest to her for keeping her in the dark regarding her adoption. She would soon be in danger from things she didn't even know about, from people she didn't even know and a biological father who wanted her dead. *All characters are purely fictional.

BOOK ONE OF THE STAR-CROSSED SERIES. Available on Amazon and FREE on Kindle Unlimited! Breaking the rules is never without consequence. And that's what Dominic Reed was to me. A devastating consequence. It seemed harmless when we met. He needed a nanny, and I needed a job. Badly. I was the only thing keeping food on the table and lights on in our not-so-happily-ever-after home. Dad had split, and Mom was always blitzed out to forget he was gone, and I was all my little sister had left. I thought working for Dominic Reed would be easy. I thought very wrong. It was the exact opposite of easy. In fact, it was impossible when he was my boss and I was his employee, and fate decided it didn't care about professionalism or boundaries. It didn't care that I was ten years younger. It didn't care that I'd built the entire foundation of my adult life on the fact that love was poison and men were the devil. And it certainly didn't care about the wedding band around Dominic's finger either. No matter how off limits he was to me or how wild and rebellious I was to him, our chemistry was heroin, and it demanded our submission despite how hard we scrambled to stop it. And I needed to stop it, because it wasn't just my heart in jeopardy if I fell in love with Dominic Reed. Apparently, it was my life.

But I wanted more out of him, I wanted him moaning my name in pleasure. So I'll do whatever it took to get what I wanted. Then I whispered in his ear " You know it ain't nice not to moan, so will you moan for me?" I said sounding so innocent but seductive at the same time. His face was full of pleasure and arousal. I am doing a fucking awesome job! I have just accomplished one of my goals. I go back down to the mark and start sucking on it, to see if he'll moan. When he did it made me shudder. Gosh I was getting off track! Focus, Liyah Focus! One of my hands travel down to his abs, surprising him as I pushed my hand into his jeans. He gasped like I did something wrong, which I didn't. I grabbed hold of him and started stroking him slowly. When I bite his neck he moaned so loud I thought I went death. But it was so cute to see him panting and moaning. I stopped and pulled myself off him. I got my hand out of his jeans and got off the bed, achieving my goal. He looked so confused when I stopped stroking him. Before I could leave, he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me back onto the bed. " I want you to finish me" he growled in a deep husky voice . (A/N: This a part from the story!
