COMPLETE
Living alone in an enormous, intimidating house, it seems Danny has no family, no friends, no job, no background and not even a surname - at least not one he's willing to share. Your typical bad boy with a troubled past? Perhaps. Or is he actually a good guy with a terrible secret?
His striking good looks and the mystery surrounding him catch the attention of Ariel, a feisty investigative journalist who is never too far from her next fling. Danny is in her sights.
The pair have an instant attraction but a promise not to fall for one another works more in Danny's favour than Ariel's who is eager to find out more about her lover's secrets - even if it means dredging up an old investigation she should leave well alone.
Ariel finds stuff out for a living, but can she uncover what is going on in Danny's world without damaging her career? And can Danny escape whatever he is running from, or will he one day get caught?

Second Chances
Lola thought she had it all figured out. A steady 9-to-5, minimal drama, and lunchtime gossip with her best friend-this is what being an adult is supposed to look like, right? Sure, dodging PC Tim's unwanted advances has become a daily ritual, but it's a small price to pay for a quiet, predictable life. After all, this is what she wanted. It's why she left. Cam was born into chaos. Raised in a world of crime, power, and ruthless loyalty, it's all he's ever known-and he's thrived in it. Untouchable. Feared. Always in control. But something's missing. Something that made the darkness feel less cold. She was his-until she vanished without a trace. When their worlds collide again, Lola and Cam are forced to confront the truth: some ties never really break. But with secrets, danger, and unfinished business between them, can two people from opposite lives find something real-or will the past destroy their second chance?

A brief contact with her shows him the smart and fierce woman beneath the beautiful face. Will they succeed together or will the forces in the dark keep them apart? A thriller of betrayal, trust, survival and love. ******************************************************************************************* "Why did you fucking run away?" She paused for a second. "Because I saw a bloodied hand in the bag you brought." He shook his head. "That's not reason enough to run away. If I left my wallet at your workplace, you should keep it and return it when I come back. That's what normal people do." She looked at him with a dry expression. "I'm very sure normal people will never compare a mutilated hand with a flimsy purse. They are barely in the same category." ********************************************************************************************** "That's not all. You'll have to complete a task for us." She eyed the man warily. "What task?" "It's been concluded that there is a traitor in our midst. Your task will be to fish out this individual or individuals, as the case may be." **************************************************************************************************Complete
