❝ you will do as I say because you're my dirty little secret, my guilty, sinful desire. ❞
The face of Minkus Inc was the King of the world, if you chose to sum it up.
He had everything.
Money, smarts, you name it he had it.
Did he have love?
Well of course, Smackle Minkus, well soon to be Isadora Minkus. The both of then were like the king and queen, mess with one you had the full-fledged wrath of the others.
A match made in heaven if you will.
However, who said a match made in hell could not be sufficient?
She was the darkness, a cerebral trouble maker that helped rot the name that is Minkus Inc.
Yeah Farkle hates this niche buoys little 'devil'. Her work with the rival company is just another reason.
Yet there's something about her he doesn't always see, that intrigues him.
Smackle is brilliant, challenging his brains and exactly like him. They are one in the same, possibly the reason he loves her so much.
Maya, god what can be said about her? She'll be the death of him for sure, with her smart ass remarks and undeniable crave for mishap.
Why ruin what you have for something so, so bad?
He's the smartest man in the world, you can say.
She's the rudest and possibly most wicked woman he's ever seen.
He may be an engaged man, but he's willing to risk it all for some sinful desire that is Maya Hart.
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.
