Amy Weston had expected many things when starting her investigation into an underground slave smuggling ring. Being mistaken for a duke's fiancée by his own mother was not one of them. Now she has to fend off not only gangsters, but also etiquette teachers intent on teaching her how to be a proper lady. Yet surely, that won't last long. After all, it's only a misunderstanding, right?

The rich. The powerful. Those are the men Amy has always despised, because the only thing they've ever done is use her. So...what is she doing with HIM? Lord Patrick Day, descendant of a noble line, with enough arrogance for ten kings and the looks to go with it, is exactly the kind of man Amy hates the most. And yet, now he is the only hope she has. A sinister conspiracy. A young woman, hurt and broken. And a powerful man, who was never, ever meant to be with the likes of her. Together, can they take on the darkest depths of the London underworld?

Madison Rosales is not your typical 22- year-old. While everyone her age is out graduating college? She's only getting started. While everyone is out partying? She's out working.

Being responsible is the only thing she knows and her family comes before anyone else. Including herself. Until her best friend, Vanessa, suggests she focus on herself for once.

Growing up surrounded by toxic relationships has her believing that there is no good man. That is, until one trip to New York has her coming face to face with Maxon Blake. Will he be the one to change her mind? To change the course of her life? Or will he get tired and leave like everyone usually does? **** Maxon Blake is a 24-year-old hotshot Wide Receiver for the New England Patriots who has his own issues with women. After being cheated on, Maxon believes there are no good women in the world. Sleeping around is something he's done for the past three years. That is, until his eyes land on Madison. The moment he sees her, he's a goner. No other woman has grabbed his attention in so long that it scares him. There is just something about Madison that draws him to her that he can't seem to pinpoint. So Maxon sets out on a mission to get closer to Madison and explore their chemistry. Except Madison doesn't seem to care. About him. About anything. Or anyone. But Maxon is relentless. He didn't get to where he was by giving up easily, so he decides to be patient. Give her time and she'll come around. Only, Madison will be staying with him for a week. Will that be enough time to convince her that there is something between them? Will she even believe him? Or will she leave? Forgetting about him like everyone else.

"Hey, that just rhymed" Parker chuckled and I glared "I think we have bigger problems to deal with"I rolled my eyes at his stupidity "Oh yeah...right" he said sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck "We need to talk to mom and dad" I demanded and stormed downstairs.

"I love you, Ashton" I whispered to his sleeping face, being careful so he doesn't hear. Quickly kissing him on the cheek, I run away knowing that he can't know, and he will never know. I'm in love with my bestfriend. "Diana?" Ashton's voice stops me. Tears threaten to fall down, but I push them away. "Yes?" "Could you please call Mel?" He replies. I nod and walk away.

His hand carressed my cheek as he pulled his head back slightly. This was like nothing I had ever felt before, unexplainable. His mere touch was driving me crazy, my thoughts blurred. Mate. He was my mate! I, Jesse Mary-Anne Drake has my mate! Christan Issac Drake.. could my life be better- Drake. My clouded thoughts immediately came clear. Stepbrother. He is also my Stepbrother.
