He leaned back, looking at her face again before his fingers slid under her chin, lifting it so she had no choice but to meet his eyes. "You love me." He said, shaking his head in mock sympathy. "& that's the most reckless thing you could've ever done." His grip tightened slightly under her jaw, not hard enough to hurt, just enough to remind her that he could. His thumb grazed her jaw, slower this time, respectful. "Love doesn't make me weak, baby. It makes me more dangerous. Because I love you back, meaning I now have something to lose." He leaned in until his lips hovered just above hers, their breath mingling. "& I don't like that. Not having shit to lose is what kept me untouchable, now I got a weakness & now we gotta die holding hands because you ain't doing this shit without me & I ain't doing it without you. So, Naytiri, you sure you wanna bleed for me?"

Serenity-known as Sin-is a stripper trapped under the control of the cartel. Von, deep in the streets, plays both sides without knowing their lives are already tangled.

India Manory thinks life in Queens, New York will never change. It's the same routine, same bullshit she has to put up with. But can one faithful month change her whole perspective on life itself? "Same people, same expectations. There's no room for change. Change is just another way of saying 'Hey this is how things are whether you like it or not. Get used to it or get the fuck out.'" I kicked the dried up mud off of my black and white Converses. "Let me change your mind." Chris pulled his lips into his mouth, extending the length of his cheeks bones and causing two indents to form on the sides of his freckled face. "How do you suppose you're gonna do that?" I furrowed my brows and faced him, seeing his promising expression which intrigued me. "Give me a month. I bet I can change your life." A sly smirk tugged on his full lips. "For better or for worse?" "Only one way to find out."

Elite Connections started off as a business proposal for Arya's senior project. She had been nicknamed the matchmaking friend throughout high school and decided to plan out an idea company, not knowing that this proposal would carry her through college and become the most exclusive matchmaking service in the world. What made Elite Connections stand out compared to the other services is that it was fully anonymous, there was an income minimum for both men and women, and the match was all based on compatibility tests. Arya believed that blind love did exist which is why none of her clients are allowed to see each other until they're walking down the aisle at their wedding. After receiving the stamp of approval from tech mogul, James Christensen, business had skyrocketed to the point of having a year long waitlist for potential clients. With a one hundred percent success rate it was easy for Arya to raise her service package minimum to fifty grand - the most exclusive package being priced at half a million dollars. Everything in Arya's life was going perfect. That is until James Christensen's grandson, Ethan, enters Elite Connections to be matched.
