"Why do they call you The Ace?" I asked hesitantly.
He looked up at me, his deep emerald eyes burning right through my skin. "Because I never miss a shot."
When 24-year-old Alexandra Miller loses her miserable job at the bank she's worked for since graduating from college, she doesn't know what to do. She has no job, no money, and her best friend, Cassandra Dixon, moved after graduation from their home city of Chicago to New York City for a position at an elite finance company, Agostini Finances.
After losing hope, Alex gets an unexpected call from Cassie about an opening position at the mysterious, top-tier company in New York - and they've made it clear they want Alexandra to interview for the position, although they know nothing about her.
Once she stumbles across a rude, god-like man called The Ace, her entire world seems to flip upside-down. Her life went from a never-ending routine to each day being crazier than the last and it doesn't take long for Alexandra to know that there is something deeper behind Agostini.
She knows that her shiny resume isn't the reason behind her job offer at the exclusive multi-million dollar company, and after getting caught in the chaos, she realizes that there are secrets not just about Agostini she has yet to uncover.

Ace Of Spades (Complete Raw First Draft, Unedited)
This story sucks, don't read it! It's amazing how quickly your life can change. In a slow town like this, where nothing exciting ever happens, where nothing ever changes, one single moment can alter your life forever, for better, or for worse. Sometimes, we're lucky enough to be able to recognise these particular moments, and take a leap of faith, but, more times than not, they just happen without us even realizing what's going on until it's already too late. Tonight, a simple Saturday night, just like any other, would turn out to be one of the most defining moments of my life. Ace is living a slow life, knowing nothing other than drinking with his friends and the motorcycle club that raised him, waiting to reconnect with his father who has just been released from prison after a fifteen year sentence. Life is simple, though he thought. Until the night he meets Jenna, running from her haunting past and the man that she is desperately trying to escape. Ace is dead set on protecting Jenna, but, as she slowly learns to trust him enough to open up to, he finds himself landing in the middle of a human trafficking operation and a feud that goes way back, between the ringleader and his club. Suddenly, life doesn't seem so simple... Work in progress, especially the blurb! This story has content which may offend some readers. Mild coarse language! Physical and sexual violence! Lots of drug references! First draft! I don't own the cover image! I'm a disappointment to my family!Complete

At 21 years old she unknowingly finds herself thrown into the darkest life of them all - The Mob. Carson Agnello. The guy you would say, on the surface, has all the luck going for him.

They're on opposite sides of the battle, he knows of her but she has no clue who he is, until one event intertwines their two lives together. They suddenly rely just on each other, they need each other. They're all each other has. ✨ "I felt sorry for you, when I saw you. I wanted to help you because you were being attacked by these men. But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat. "Maybe I am just bad as them...or maybe I'm worse baby girl." ⚠️ Warning - this book contains explicit mentions and descriptions of abuse, rape, mental health issues and suicide.
