All her life, Mary Imogen Suarez was led to believe that she should end up with Parker Adrian Palma. Na dapat, kay Parker lang siya. Na si Imogen ay para lang kay Parker. But the problem was, Parker never looked her way, at least, not the way she wanted him to. For him, she's just the best friend-and a reminder of something he badly wanted to forget. For years, she lived with the knowledge that Parker would never like her back. Akala ni Imo, hindi na siya makakaahon sa naraaramdaman niya para kay Parker-until she met Saint Iverson Gomez de Lianño. Saint was a breath of fresh air. He's attentive, and he made Imo feel loved and appreciated-something she never felt during all the years she loved Parker. But when things started to fall in their right places, Parker decided to finally look her way. What would Imogen do? Would she brave the storm to be with Saint? Or would she tread the strings that connect her with Parker?

Hector Diego Chavez is determined to rise in the mafia world, and Alexis O'Conner is just another pawn in his game. But she refuses to bow to the man who now owns her. In a world of power, betrayal, and deadly desire, will she become his weakness-or his greatest obsession? ------------- Highest Ranks #1 in Mafia #1 in Arranged Marriage #1 in Hot #2 in Steamy
