He's the Alpha... but she's in charge. Rhys and Calla are the eldest children of rival city leaders. They have no reason to interact, until fate forces them together. When a member of Rhys's camp is filmed attacking an innocent person on land claimed by Calla's family, Calla is brought in to manage the PR disaster. Used to being the top dog, Rhys resents taking orders from an enemy, attractive though she may be. Rhys isn't just an obnoxious, billionaire playboy to Calla; he's one of her prime suspects. Not only is she convinced he's guilty of the attack, she also believes he kidnapped her best friend. They may hate each other, but as they're forced to work together and trust each other, their chemistry becomes undeniable. With heinous crimes continuing-all pointing towards Rhys and his family, it's not long until tensions in the city yield to violence. The only way they'll make it through safely is with each other's help. But if their families find out about their forbidden relationship, their jobs and social standing-and even Calla's life-will be at stake. Rhys must make the choice to defy his family... or risk Calla becoming their next victim.

The deeper Hadley falls into sexy crime boss Max's web, the harder it is for her to leave him. But when she comes face to face with the truth about his dangerous world, she has to make an impossible decision; stay with the man she's fallen in love with or say goodbye forever. Season 2 of Sex and the Billionaire Crime Boss *** Hadley finds herself at a crossroads after the revelation that charming billionaire Max is more involved in his family's crime dynasty than she realized and capable of shocking violence. Torn between her intense feelings for Max and the fact his criminal lifestyle goes against everything she believes in as a lawyer, Hadley decides to end things. But getting out of Max's world isn't easy, and cutting off their relationship isn't a clean break. Soon, Hadley uncovers more troubling questions linking her family's hidden past to Max's and finds herself dodging a mysterious man following her. As she's pulled back into Max's criminal enterprise, she wonders if Max is the only one who can protect her from the danger that seems to get nearer every day. But in such close proximity, can Hadley temper the fiery attraction that still burns between them? And with Max guarding her safety, can Hadley manage to guard her heart? *** "Are you walking away from me, Hadley?" His question pierces straight through my heart. Max has turned my world upside down. Every moment with him ignites a passion I didn't know I could unleash. He's made me feel protected like no man ever has. But he's also capable of far more violence than I ever imagined. Max had a choice. What he chose goes against everything I believe in. I look up at him as he waits for my answer, his face unreadable. "Yes," I say. I almost add that I don't have a choice, but that wouldn't be true. We all have choices. Max made his, and now I've made mine.
