                                                 ***

Five years ago, Brad Miller risked it all - his stance, his head, and his heart - to save the woman he loved. Now, as the boss of a powerful drug operation, he's living the life he always dreamed of: wealth, power, and Tatiana by his side. But when cracks start to show, his perfect world begins to collapse.

The threats from his biggest rival, Vicente Robles, are intensifying, and the dangerous world of the Syndicate he is a part of is full of enemies who would love to see his head roll. The thing about Brad is, he thinks he's got everything under control, but then a shocking betrayal from the one person he trusted the most threatens to unravel it all.

Now, he is faced with the ultimate challenge:

Can he forgive Tatiana, even after learning her darkest secret?

Will he be able to protect his family from the wrath of his enemies?

How far will he go to take down Vicente and keep his empire intact?

In this high-stakes battle for love, power, and loyalty, Brad realizes that no matter how ruthless or calculated he is, the one thing he can't control is the way Tatiana Montalto makes him vulnerable. She is his greatest strength - and his ultimate weakness; his only option is to fight harder than ever to ensure that his alliance with her doesn't destroy him, and to hold onto the life he's worked so tirelessly to build. But after five years of hard-won success, the game is changing, and Brad might just be in over his head.

This is a story about second chances, the cost of power, and what happens when the past comes back to haunt you.

Fated Series. Book #2 "Be possessive of me, own me, keep me, because if you do then nothing and no one else can." - Maddox. My name is Maddox Vallero, and I'm dead. Well, that's not quite true. I'm alive in the breathing, walking, talking sense-but that's about where it ends. The ghosts in my head remind me daily that I'm just a shell. Physically present, mentally shattered. For years, I've let time slip past, ticking away like I'm still trapped in that coffin, six feet under, slowly losing pieces of myself. I gave up long before I even opened my eyes this morning. So when you see me smiling, promising you the world, it's all a lie. And you'll believe it, because I'm that good. Lying, cheating, tricking-it's my game. I'm a master at making you trust in the illusion, even as I turn around and steal everything back. But somewhere along the line, I tricked myself. Now, I don't know where my lies end and the truth begins. My sanity's as fragile as the mask I wear. Then she walked in. The executive assistant I was forced to hire-a woman who sees straight through me. I lie, and she calls me on it. I grin, and she tells me to drop the act. She's the one person who refuses to fall for my games, who somehow slips past every defense I've ever built. And with her, I'm starting to see the shadows I live among. Sounds simple? It's not. Life has its own twisted sense of humor, and fate is a cunning fox that delights in making things messy. I want her, but I've got attachment issues that could bury us both. She wants me, but her commitment issues make her run every time. And together, we're tangled in pasts that haunt us, presents that hurt, and futures that we're terrified to face. This is the story of what happens when two broken people collide, each one daring the other to start taking risks.

Her new colleagues have welcomed her with open arms, including the charming and sweet Oliver. But her infuriatingly attractive boss isn't so welcoming. Alexander "Lex" Coleman seems determined to drive her crazy. Despite her best efforts to resist him, Andy finds herself increasingly drawn to Lex's good looks and razor-sharp mind. As the tension between them heats up and their working relationship becomes more complicated, the line between personal and professional blurs. Can she have it all, or will she have to choose between her career and the man she can't resist? ⸻ "I'm telling you," I insist while he gets something from his nightstand. "I'm good. We effectively fucked you out of my system." "Great." He's back with a condom, and he's getting hard again. I'm not well-versed in men's anatomy, but it isn't something that should be already happening, right? I'm still not over it when he puts on the protection, throwing the empty package on the floor.

"Wait, I need a brea--" My complaints die in my throat as he pushes himself inside me with a slow but implacable thrust. Then comes the wet touch of his tongue, drawing a burning line in the hollow crest of my spine between my shoulder blades. He nuzzles his way up until his mouth is an inch from my ear. "Now, we're fucking you out of my system," he threateningly mutters. Oh, God... ⸻ This is a rewritten version with a better pace and fewer mistakes. You can find the full-length story on my profile.

*Book 1 of CEO series* "Am I a villain?" Mr. Martinez probed, pinning me with his intense gaze. "Yes!" He chuckled and instantly he took two large steps and stood in front of me, "If I am a villain," trapping me, Adrian placed his hands on the table on either side of me, "I wouldn't have stopped that night with just a kiss even when I wanted to do more with you. Even when you were in a completely vulnerable stage to let me have you the way I want, Miss Jazmine Garcia." ** Adrian Martinez, a CEO of the multi-billionaire company, Martinez Constructions. Holds the top rank in the business world. He was known for being a workaholic, cold-hearted, well-respected, and the most eligible bachelor in New York. Women flatter him but since he saw Jazmine he was head over heels for her. Jazmine Garcia is a 23-year-old girl with many responsibilities on her head. A very kind-hearted but reckless. No matter what, she doesn't let people disesteem her. But no one had a glimpse of her crush on her bestfriend's brother, Adrian Martinez. But things will get wild when Jazmine steps into his life as an intern at his company. Little did she know that Adrian's intention was not just to make her work or pay her salary but something else. The thing she never imagined in her rarest dreams gave her pleasure and Adrian soon turned out to be her only craving. ** "And it would be better if we keep a professional relationship. Just like a boss and employee. And never try to manhandle me the way you are doing now." And I turned around. I approached the door, but Adrian whirled me and pinned me against the door by my shoulders. "Your big mouth needs to be punished for spitting in front of your Boss," before I could apprehend his words, I found his lips on mine. ** "I had a dream this afternoon. You spanked me." Adrian laughed, "You dreamed of me spanking you." I nodded my head. "And you thought my punishment would be that simple." And his words made my breath stuck in my throat.
