"If I'm going down, I might as well pick my poison. I pick you." *** A Cobalt Bay Billionaires story. *** She couldn't be sure whether he was her predator or protector... but she was doomed to love him either way. *** It was a summer they will never forget. Young and naive Cassandra Collins finds herself offered up as interest for her cousin's debt to a powerful man who craves her as fiercely as he resists her. Wary but tempted, she struggles to get through the summer without stripping herself of her virtue, and losing her heart to Sebastian Vice-a man so beautiful and broken, he will hurt her as much as he will love her. Under the blazing sun and amidst the sultry heat of their forbidden desires and secret fears, will Cassandra find the love that will change her life forever? Or will she face the punishment of falling for a wicked Vice? Wrought by secrets and scars, this is a story of two people who hunger darkly and desperately for a love they are strangers to-a love that endures, hopes and sets them free. *** WARNING: This story may be a little steamier than my usual ones. There might be scenes and concepts that are objectionable to some people so heed this warning before you start reading. I don't think it's erotica but let's just say some parts are steamy. If you don't mind it, go right ahead and read on. :P *** Copyright © 2013 by Nina Tippett. All rights reserved.

Can Kat deal with the possessive and demanding Raphael after years of trying to avoid the attraction between them? Who knew that one kiss could change everything? ** "Ooooh get your hands off me!" I hissed as Raphael carried me over his shoulder and into one of the bedrooms. "I mean it! You stupid barbarian!" I yelled and tried to wriggle my way out of his tight grasp and I opened my mouth to yell when one of his large hands landed on my bottom. Hard. "Ow! What the hell is your problem? And get your hand off my butt!" I hissed as Raphael kept his hand on my bottom. I could hear him chuckle and I struggled and pounded my fists against his back viciously and growled angrily when he didn't seem to be affected by it. I let out a huff as I landed on the bed. "Listen here you stupid oaf! Let me out of this room!" I demanded and glared at the handsome devil in front of me. "Didn't your parents ever teach you that it is rude to shout Katerina?" He said silkily as he watched me. I crossed my arms, "They did, but I figured since it's just you, it doesn't matter." He raises an eyebrow and stalks closer towards me. Without a word, his head leaned in and slanted his lips over mine. With that, I was kissing Raphael Doukas.
