He lit his cigarette, I lit nothing. He drank alcohol, I drank water. He smirked, I smiled. He didn't love me, I didn't love him. He and I together wouldn't last a day. And then the game started... He said he found me intriguing, unique, and interesting because I didn't swoon over him. "You and me Grey, let's play a game. We'll date and in three months time I promise you will fall for me. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways." It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

What if you one day fell in love with a boy you weren't supposed to? What if that boy was your employers son? Seventeen year old Ember Rhinehart has been raised to become a CIA operative. Training ever since she could walk, she knows sixteen languages and has black belts in mixed martial arts, karate, and jiu-jitsu. She never knew her parents. Being enrolled into the CIA's top-secret operative development project (called Project N), she was taken from her parents due to the unstable household they ran...or so she is told. She doesn't know much about them. Not even their names. She's trusted the CIA her whole life. The agency sent her to one of their designated foster homes for more agents-in-training enrolled in Project N. Fed her. Protected her. Educated her. Cared for her. But, when Ember is assigned to keep watch on the First Family, she has to deal with so much more than being caught on a mission. With a spoiled teenage daughter and two sons (one of which is addicted to sex and alcohol), the McGallen's aren't the picture-perfect family America believes them to be. But, one day, Ember falls in love with President McGallen's mysterious third son that nobody knew about from a past relationship. He shows up at the White House and is immediately brought into the family, but his appearance is surrounded by scandal that could ruin the McGallen family's campaign for good. With a second election on the horizon, will Ember be able to help the McGallen's clear their name? Or will she lose everything, including McGallen son #3?

After a late night fight between Alex Summers and her ex goes terribly wrong, her parents ship her off to spend a stress-free summer in Los Angeles. But the second she steps off the plane, Alex stumbles into California bad boy Elias King, a too-hot-to-handle heartbreaker with a taste for trouble. ***** When Alex and Elias find themselves stuck living under the same roof, their sexual tension's undeniable, but their differences set them on a warpath to destroy each other. Elias bets he can steal her heart and seduce her in thirty days, while Alex swears she can keep him one-night-stand-free and have him sober by the end of the summer. All's fair in love and war if you're playing by the rules, but this time around, there are no limits.
