Read at your own risk of cliffhangers, tears, and being angry at me ;(* Fame, wealth, youth, and beauty is the dream life for most women. For 19 year old Daphne Evers, it's a reality. Heiress of her father's multi-billion dollar empire, she finds herself constantly drowned in the spotlight of attention and men who only seem to like her for the money. Despite her good looks and high class status, she remains the selfless, innocent girl her mother taught her to be. It's no secret that almost everyone envies the beautiful girl. But the question is...how far is someone willing to go to get what Daphne was born into? The answer is kidnapping. When her father's night of media and glory is crashed by ski-masked men with fake guns, Daphne finds herself tied and thrown into the back of a van. Being held hostage for ten million isn't that scary, not really. Not when the kidnappers are complete amateurs. But when Daphne finds herself thrown into the arms of one of the most wanted and notorious criminals in the country, that's when things start to go wrong.

18 year old Florence Remy has three things that mean the world to her: Twizzlers, her best friends Ade and Clancy, and her parents' coffee shop the Espresso House in downtown Brooklyn, New York. As a small business amongst huge corporations, Florence and her parents struggle to make ends meet. However, they remain optimistic and happy. The coffee shop may not bring in much, but it's enough to keep them on their feet. But what happens when a group of dangerous Brooklyn mobsters force Florence's parents into giving them co-ownership of the shop? Crime boss and leader Wolfe Sterling takes a great interest in the tunnels that lead past the Espresso House cellar. Dirty business is what he's best at and dragging people into his dangerous (and illegal) activities are no bother. But things go sideways when he also takes a strange interest in Florence. And it really doesn't help that he's hotter than freshly brewed coffee...

"You'll be fine?" I shrieked. "You just got freaking stabbed! You're letting out more blood than a girl on her period! You are not going to be fine! I have to call the police. No wait, I have to call an ambulance! Oh my God, why didn't I think of that before? Stupid, Genevi-" "Stop talking!" he growled, turning away. I wrung my hands together in panic, trying to calm myself down. "I can take care of this, kitten. Leave me alone. It's just a small wound. Not like I haven't been stabbed before." he muttered the last part. "What?!" "Leave." he growled. I stared at him, unable to close my mouth. I had never seen someone get stabbed before. Heck, I had never seen someone get into a fight before. Ever. The only violence I had experienced was in movies. It was unfortunate for me that I found out how I would react in a danger situation like this. And by react, I mean completely flip the hell out. *LANGUAGE WARNING*
