An archaeologist's discovery has landed her in a hotbed of danger. An unlikely companion may be her only hope...
Romance is just a myth for Dr. Helena Thessaylia: brilliant, beautiful, but hopelessly shy professor of archeology...until a chance meeting with a tough, streetwise attorney just cocky enough to believe he has a chance. And just smitten enough to show up-uninvited-on her sabbatical in Greece.
And that's just the first of Helena's surprises.
Accompanied by her newfound companion, she discovers an astonishing artifact that will put her on the pages of her own textbooks...and potentially in a hotbed of danger. It turns out her discovery has unearthed a very dark secret...a secret one powerful man would do anything to hide.
It's a good thing she has an intense, hard-hitting lawyer on her side. Helena soon realizes he'll stop at nothing to protect her. But he has some baggage of his own: A rough childhood in a bad part of the Bronx and a less-than squeaky-clean past.
Even if the pair escape the land of Odysseus with their lives, higher hurdles lie before them: Will Helena's handsome esquire conquer her impenetrable shyness? And will Helena's faith and love inspire him to seek out a different life?

Priscilla Sum
Priscilla is just an average college student with an average life. Adopted at a young age by a wealthy "power couple" consisting of a museum curator and a real estate magnate, she's managed to keep a level head, and not make a big deal about herself. Archaeology is a passion of hers, so when a visiting group offers the once-in-a-lifetime chance to spend a week at a real dig site, off the coast of Greece, Priscilla seizes the opportunity to pursue what she enjoys. Then... Disaster strikes. Priscilla wanted to believe that this was her Fate, but there seems to be other forces conspiring against her. The company organizing the dig is rumored to be engaged in some shady activity, her best friend since grade school reveals that he's slowly dying of a terminal disease, and most dramatic of all, her parents vanish overnight, leaving behind a letter telling her the truth: They are gods, hiding in the guise of mortals so that a very powerful enemy--a demon they've been fighting for millennia--won't discover the hiding place of their divine power: The very island Priscilla will be visiting soon. Is the archaeological group in league with the demon, or intent on discovering the hiding place first in order to stop him? Can she and her classmates find the hidden temple themselves? Will the demon come after her next?Kumpleto

Annie Banks thought her life was simple: a quiet bookworm chasing one dream-studying law at the University of Lagos and one day becoming a Chief Judge. But dreams are never simple when shadows of the past refuse to stay buried. Enter Austin Osaze. Charismatic. Elusive. Dangerous in ways Annie cannot name. He is the man who seems to know her every move, the one who whispers truths that unravel her defenses, and the shadow who may hold the answers to her father's death. She tells herself to stay away. She swears she hates him-the arrogance, the smirk, the way his presence fills every room. But she also can't deny the pull, the haunting familiarity in his words, or the secrets that tie him to her family and the university she now calls home. As her world spins between law lectures, fractured friendships, and a troupe struggling to survive without her, Annie is forced to ask herself one terrifying question: Is Austin Osaze the greatest mistake she'll ever make... or the key to uncovering who she truly is? One thing is certain-falling for him won't just break her heart. It could cost her everything. *** He's the last mistake she swore she'd never make ... But the one she can't resist

Bound by More Than Vows
Florence never expected her ordinary life to become a wedding dowry. Traded by her father to secure a dangerous alliance, Florence finds herself engaged to Hades Williams-a ruthless man who commands respect through fear and controls his empire from the shadows. He's devastatingly handsome, but there's blood on his hands and darkness in his soul. Their marriage is a business transaction in his violent world. No emotions. No intimacy. Just a contract that keeps enemies at bay and strengthens his power-or so they tell themselves. But Florence isn't the innocent pawn everyone expects her to be. Raised by herself in a world that showed no mercy, she's learned that survival means being sharper than the knife at your throat. She doesn't want his blood money, his fortress of a mansion, or his lethal protection. She just wants to be more than a pretty face to clean up his brutal reputation. Hades thought he was getting a naive wife to play the perfect mafia princess. Instead, he got a woman who doesn't flinch at broken glass or shattered bones, who sees through his cold facade, and who refuses to be just another casualty in his war against his own father's empire. As their worlds collide in a storm of violence and vendetta, they'll discover that some bonds are forged in fire and blood-and that sometimes the most dangerous thing you can do is fall for someone in a world where love makes you a target. When love meets the mafia world, will it bloom into something beautiful-or will it destroy everything they've fought to protect? Florence & Hades - In a marriage built on lies and violence, can their hearts survive the bloodbath?Kumpleto
