Jia Lee is a self-made top model, a modern day femme fatale worshipped for her unrealistic beauty and seductive charm. But fame breeds envy, and envy breeds danger. To protect herself, she hires Zamir Locke - an ex-convict trying to rebuild his life, now assigned to guard the very woman who could ruin it. What begins as protection becomes a power struggle laced with deception, temptation, and control.

Alex swore no hockey player would ever touch her, especially not Jaxon Cross-the campus playboy known more for his bedroom skills than his game. But when a no-strings hookup pact turns into something deeper, she's forced to choose between keeping it casual or risking her heart. ------- Alex loves sex... maybe a little too much. Her last hookup left her dry spell even drier, and she's convinced no guy can ever satisfy her until Jaxon Cross. Jaxon is Northridge's hockey golden boy, though his real reputation has nothing to do with the ice. Rumors of his bedroom skills spread faster than campus gossip, and while he secretly hates the image he's built, he can't escape it. When Alex and Jaxon cross paths, sparks fly-but not the good kind. She can't stand him, and he's addicted to the way she looks at him like he's the worst kind of mistake. Then Jaxon overhears her venting about her lackluster sex life... and makes her an offer she doesn't expect: a no-strings hookup pact. Alex doesn't do hockey players, especially ones with reputations like his. But eventually, curiosity wins. And what starts as a physical arrangement quickly turns into something neither of them bargained for. Because Jaxon doesn't just satisfy her body. He makes her laugh, surprises her with his sweetness, and shows her a side no one else gets to see. The more Alex falls, the more terrified she becomes. She swore this was only about pleasure. He wants more. And now she has to decide if she's brave enough to want it too. This is the second book in the Northridge Series.

Sebastian pushed Sophie down against his office desk, his mouth crashing onto hers with a hunger that stole her breath. The kiss was fierce, desperate, the kind that left her dizzy as his hands trailed down her waist. She clung to him, arms wound tight around his neck, pulling him closer, tasting the heat of his need. His fingers skimmed lower, tugging at the fabric of her skirt, inch by inch, until it slid down her thighs. When they finally parted, both were panting, foreheads pressed together. He kissed along the curve of her neck, soft and unrelenting, his lips branding her skin with every touch. And finally, he pulled down her panties. He pushed her down on the desk as his gaze shifted to her already wet, dripping pussy. "Sebastian..." she whispered, trembling, "Someone could walk in," she reminded, her voice breathless. His smirk was wicked, his eyes dark with possession. "Then be quiet. Or don't. I want them to know you're mine." Her cheeks burned, but she didn't stop him. She couldn't. With every kiss, every touch, every word, she was falling deeper into the fire that was Sebastian Chisholm. And tonight, she wasn't going to resist the flames. She'd let him devour and ruin her as much as he wanted. And that was all he needed to fulfill his hunger.
