Charlotte "Charlie" Carver knows she's in trouble when Jackson North shows up at her door in the middle of the night, nearly a year after he unceremoniously broke her heart. She's always suspected her ex had secrets, but she never thought those secrets would put her in danger-until violent men show up right on Jackson's tail, and suddenly she's caught up in an adventure unlike any she ever imagined.
Jackson has never been able to forget Charlie, the only woman he's ever loved. He'd do anything to protect her--but he'd also do anything to help his team find the fortune hidden by eccentric billionaire Vincent Rinaldi. Unfortunately, the key to finding Rinaldi's fortune rests in a gift Jackson gave Charlie back when they were together, and now she's tangled up in his dangerous life whether he likes it or not.
Soon, they're on a wild chase through Croatia's islands with Jackson's teammates, the notorious Devil's Set. Career treasure hunters, the Set has seen their share of danger and adventure, but they've never encountered a hunt like this.
As they pursue the ultimate treasure, Jackson and Charlie face one danger after another-but the biggest threat might be the one targeting their hearts. Neither wants to admit that there's still a sizzling connection between them, but sometimes, the hunt is too intoxicating to resist...
MEET THE DEVIL'S SET: Treasure hunters. Adventurers. Bad boys.
A second chance at love has never been this dangerous...

"Everything I ever told you from the time we met has been nothing but the truth. I meant every word of it." "The question is, do you trust me enough to give me your all?" *** Miss Sylvia Benson is a woman who possesses both striking beauty and sharp intellect, but her sights are set on a singular ambition: becoming a partner at her prestigious firm.

Just when Sylvia thinks she's settled back into her relentless pursuit of success, fate has other plans. Circumstances conspire to thrust their worlds together once more, forcing her to grapple with the emotions she's tried so hard to suppress. Will Sylvia find the courage to embrace the very thing that terrifies her? Join me on this captivating journey as we explore the intricate dance of love, ambition, and the courage to let go of fear.

He was so carefree and nice all through the night, something I've never had in a long time. I didn't even get the time to view the beautifully designed gold exterior lobby, we were in because, Sebastian kept dragging me like his life depended on it. He lives in a penthouse, a very captivating one at that, I was still in my thoughts, when we suddenly reached the red, golden elevator, once it opened, I was roughly pushed inside, and his lips met mine with full gravity. **** Sebastian Becroft, a rich, successful,and handsome man, who has everything and can get everything with just a snap of his finger. He never begs or ask for something, it is always handed to him in a platter. But what happens when he couldn't get the one thing he wanted.
