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...

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?Complete
