With his mom murdering her best friend and his dad's itch for becoming the next drug lord, it was all bound to happen one day, but that one day changed young Erik's life forever. Having to basically take care of his little sister, growing up wasn't easy. Now twenty-four and rough around the edges, it's no surprise that Erik has his hand in the game. As always, the fast, easy dirty money is too hard to turn down and with having two hard headed parents, it all comes naturally to him. He's a Natural Born Hustler and the games has just begun.

When prostitutes mysteriously start to disappear off the streets of California, the L.A.P.D. calls out their best field agent.

Or will she be killed before the case is even solved? As Mama always said: Never trust a pretty face.

It was love at first elbow to the nose. When skirt-chasing TV star, Liam Black, gets thrown out of an unknown actress's apartment, he is impressed by the Z-lister's surprising amount of self-respect. (She's a Z-lister and he's Liam Black, after all.) After some subtle stalking, Liam learns that the woman is ambitious Hollywood attorney, Gemma Vaughn, and he becomes intent on making her the Amal to his George Clooney. The cold-hearted lawyer, however, has zero interest in Liam, whom she believes to be a walking STD. When Gemma is forced to accept the trouble-making celebrity as a client, her worst nightmare is realized: he begins to grow on her - kind of like a fungus. Will Gemma be able to keep their relationship strictly professional, or will Liam break down her walls and compromise her heart (and maybe her health)? Note: This is an excerpt only.
