Jenna Rosario has always been the fierce, loyal protector, the friend who would stand in front of a storm but never step into one. Yet deep inside, she longed for the rush her world never gave her... the thrill of danger and the taste of action her best friends could never understand. Xavier lived in that darkness every day. Cold, relentless, and cunning, he knew the shadows of the Mafia better than anyone. When the mission demanded a partner to play the role of his wife, he needed someone with fire in her veins. Jenna was the perfect fit. Together they are thrust into a deadly underworld where every glance could be betrayal and every touch could mean exposure. Pretending to be bound by love, they find real passion burning between them. The deeper they sink into the game, the more the line fades between duty and desire, between the mission and their hearts. But in a world where trust can kill and passion can destroy, Jenna and Xavier are about to discover just how fatal their vows really are.

BOOK TWO Five years ago, Dawn Ramsey let the wrong man in. Alessandro Ruiz charmed his way into her bed to access an encrypted file that should have stayed buried. He got what he came for, but she caught on and walked away before he could take anything more. Now he is back, acting as if the past holds no weight. He offers her a position at his firm. A chance to refine her skills. She agrees, with one condition. Everything between them must remain strictly professional. But her reasons for accepting run deeper. Someone has been taunting her, leaving coded messages only another hacker would understand. Each message feels more deliberate. Each one cuts closer to the people she loves. She knows she must uncover the truth before the threats become something irreversible. And that includes protecting the man she has tried so hard to stop loving.

Catching a glimpse of a legendary all-white reindeer is supposed to bring good luck. Not for Georgia Greene. As Georgia makes her way home for Christmas, a white reindeer dashes across the road in front of her, causing her to crash her car into a ditch. With her car stuck and a storm blowing in, Georgia is forced to hole up at a remote Christmas tree farm with the help of its kindly owner, Sue. Though Sue tells Georgia stories about how seeing the white reindeer is a lucky event, Georgia is skeptical. She doesn't feel very lucky. Not only is she stranded and snowed in, but she's also stuck in the presence of Sue's surly son, Felix Nissen. But despite her distaste for the holidays, Georgia has to admit there's something special about the Christmas tree farm--almost magical. Maybe the reindeer brought her more than luck... Maybe it brought her right where she needed to be. --- This was my winning NaNoWriMo project for 2021! I took it down to edit it after the holiday season, but now it's coming back with more chapters!
