"A smile will get you far, but a smile and a gun will get you farther" -Al Capone. Federal Agent Alex Turner deals better with guns than boyfriends, and prefers it that way. Her emotional range is bleak, but her aim is damn near perfect. Thinking saving the world is a far easier task than dating, Agent Turner springs at the opportunity to prevent young scientist Marcus Gibbs from selling his biological weapon to the highest bidder. With her goal in sight, and Marcus eating out of the palm of her hand, an obstacle she doesn't see coming interferes. Meet Jeremy Hunt -- the distractingly handsome CEO of Sunscape Biotechnologies, and Marcus's boss and best friend. A man who is accustomed to getting what he wants, Jeremy's never been one to take no for an answer, which has Agent Turner realizing for the first time that her wit might get her farther than her weapon. With no protocol or training to reference when it comes to matters of the heart, she worries that this might be her hardest assignment yet. ------------------------------------------ MESSAGE TO READERS: This book has been reduced to a preview in preparation for its publication!

"That's exactly how I told you not to do it," Asher groaned from his seat beside me. "You're never going to win her over that way." I rolled my eyes, ground the rose petals between my fingers and kept my eyes on the chandelier so I wasn't glaring at the dance floor. "Who say's I'm trying to win her over?" "Well you obviously wouldn't have fucked up so much if you weren't trying." --- Evan Reed was a force to be reckoned with. A jerk with a smile that could leave you breathless, a gaze that could send your heart racing with equal parts fear and equal parts thrill, and a record sheet that could send your mother crying--the last thing Vegas wanted was to get involved with him. But when she's suddenly thrust into a whole new situation she wasn't ready for, she didn't have a choice but to depend on the one guy who could get her out of it. And that of course was the badass she never, ever wanted to fall for.

❝It was love at first sight. Until reality struck like lightning and burnt up everything leaving me with nothing but scars.❞ Moving to a new school is tough, but moving across the country to a new school is even tougher. At sixteen years old, all Jasmine Heller wanted to do was start fresh: new friends, new wardrobe, and maybe, possibly, a new boyfriend. But, things don't always go as planned. Before the first week of school is complete, she's already confessing her undying love to Caleb Finn, the most popular guy in school, became a target to his exes, and banged her head into a classroom door while slurring 'Is that you Justin Bieber?' Not being able to go through with the mortification she suffered because of Caleb Finn, Jasmine moves back to her old town. Two years later, Jasmine is forced back home while carrying a heavy heart and a mission to get back at everyone who watched her suffer Caleb Finn's wrath. Kiss & Tell - Copyright ©
