"Let me pull those bedsheets off of you." He smirked maliciously.
When Camari Jensen only desired to continue on with simple one-night stands, Kane Gordan wishes to have a sensual relationship with her. Unaware that he might be her life companion, she spurns down his love and passion towards her. Jensen's only love interest was Dayne Fletcher, her long lost childhood friend, that was heedless of her existence, and felt nothing towards her himself.
As Kane Gordan and Camari meet at a laundromat, soaking bedsheets together, they coincidentally run into one another at a bar. Him, searching for one to lust, and her, searching for simply sex.
Ever since Camari had been let down and heartbroken by her ex boyfriend, Emmet Wanson, 3 months ago, she dumped her belief in relationships. Her divorced parents had also taught her one or two things about relationships and if they're meant to last.
Kane Gordan was a straight-A student who seemed to learn his lesson when his family died in a gruesome fire. His parents prayed for him to retire the bad-boy phase and move on to be a mature young man. Soon, after their passing, their wish informally came true as Kane started to be more genuine with life. He searched for his soulmate, someone who would stay by his side, through thick and thin, through life's hardest times.
And then he found her... Camari Jensen.
But how is that even humanely possible? How is it possible to like such a girl that won't care? That won't dare to love?
It's hard but it happens. And it hurts. He loved someone who may have loved him once upon a time. He loved someone who acted like there was a possibility of love in return, but now there's not.
Everything but feelings...
Deadly assassins Allegra and Ace have been trying in vain to kill each other for years. With a mutual enemy threatening their mafias, they find themselves in an unexpected alliance, and soon discover killing each other isn't the only temptation they need to resist...
******
Allegra Grey is poised to be the next great American mafia leader, and she's more than living up to the name. A skilled assassin, there's only one target who's ever gotten away from her-suave, sinfully handsome Ace De Luca, heir to the Italian mafia and the Greys' biggest rival. When both mafias are faced with a dangerous threat, they're forced to work together to protect their families, and unexpected sparks fly. Allegra definitely isn't one to sleep with the enemy, especially an arrogant womanizer like Ace. But there's an undeniable electricity between them and Allegra's not sure it's all hatred. Ace may be bad news, but Allegra's never been afraid of a little danger. As the fire they're playing with grows to a scorching blaze, one thing is clear: trying to kill each other may have been difficult, but resisting this intense chemistry will be impossible.
