Ivy took a leap of faith when she married Zane, a perfect stranger. What she wasn't expecting was to find love wrapped up in a complex package.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Growing up, Ivy was always the "wild child." She craved adventure and always had a prank or two up her sleeve, but at twenty-one-years-old, she's getting bored. 
There isn't a lot that happens in Taylorsville, Ohio, and when Zane Landis comes to town, all of that changes. 
Adventure lands right at Ivy's feet in the form of a marriage proposal. A marriage of convenience with a rather large payout is just the kind of thing she isn't afraid to take a risk on, but Zane is a different story.
He's broody, untrusting and rather possessive, but Ivy thinks she can handle anything. Could this adventure be what destroys her?

And finally you, Finch," she said, looking to the last guy. "I'm going to bust your ankle because I don't like the way you walk." She slid her hands into her pockets.

I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant." He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing. I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers. He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger. He sat on the bed, criss crossed and pulled me to him. ♡♡♡♡♡ The thing about love is... its unpredictable. Even when you don't want love, it just happens.

Mischief

45 parts Complete Mature

- Book #1 of 'Mischief' series - "If only I had just minded my own damn business for once and didn't blow up that stupid drug lab, then I would never have gotten myself into this situation to begin with..." I grumble to myself as I sink a little lower behind the car door with a sigh. It is inevitable, I am going to die. I quickly huddle into a ball as a bullet flies through the window, resulting in the glass shattering down onto my head, "Okay, c'mon guys. That was just bloody rude!" • • • 17 year old Ivy Munroe had no idea what she was getting herself into when she walked into a small, abandoned warehouse owned by the notorious gang leader of 'The Kings', but what she did ended with her being shipped off to a boarding school for troubled youth, and she assumed that would be the end of her trouble. She thought wrong. Someone is chasing her. She's running. It's a fucked-up - but simple - game of hide-and-seek... Or is it? Her roomie isn't who he says he is, and there are factors from his past which could ruin their friendship... Or bring them closer than ever before. • • • ⚠️ MATURE CONTENT ⚠️ - explicit language - graphic and violent moments - steamy scenes 😉 (I will give warnings at the beginning of chapters for the last two, but if these are things that you aren't comfortable reading about, this probably isn't the book for you ❤️)
