Red Easton is on the brink of becoming one of New York's most successful young CEOs. The intense, stone-faced thirty-four-year-old built a cybersecurity company valued at over $1.2 billion. The success of the company overshadows any suspicions regarding Red's lack of formal education or background in technology. The road he paved here is for his eyes only, and none of his investors seem too concerned as long as the money keeps rolling in.

But when the murder of an old contact threatens to jeopardize Red's ability to remain unattached to his past life, will he be able to keep his worlds separate or are they bound to collide in a dangerous, bloody battle?

Emory Logan is struggling to find her place in Chicago, the only city she's ever known. At twenty-six-years-old, she decides to set out for New York City. She can create a new start. No one would suspect the curvy beauty to be from the roughest part of Chicago. 
 
But when an opening for a personal assistant position at New York's hottest cybersecurity company lands her in an interview with Chicago's disappeared bad boy, she realizes her attempt at a new start may have landed her right back where she started. Or worse.

"Everyone knew him as the sexy, cold-hearted young CEO. They assumed his dark eyes and controlling demeanor were symptoms of an unyielding passion for success. But I knew him before his meteoric rise. I know the real darkness lurking behind his eyes."

Standalone mafia billionaire romance.
50,000 to 70,000 words.

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.

Phoenix by bossbitch3000

I tried my best to avoid eye contact as he towered over me, but once my eyes met his, the usual amber color of his orbs went darker and darker until they were now of a fervent brown shade and his pupils dilated drastically.

It was both a terrifying and mesmeric sight... ___________________________________________ After being dared to kiss the first person to enter the dark room, 19 year old Essence later finds out that the person she kissed, 21 year old Phoenix, is her hand to hand combat trainer in her new assassin's school.

Burning Desire (Lost&Found Series) ✔ by swritess1

This is book two in the Lost&Found Series but can be read as a stand alone. *** I heard the bag drop on the table before he grabbed my elbow and spun me around. His hand cupped my chin as he made me look in his eyes. "So much anger, piccola raggazza." he said as his eyes darted back and forth between mine. My lips parted as I looked in his grey orbs which he inherited from his father. Sharp, defined jaw and pointy noise with his upper lip thin and bottom, thick. "I'm not angry at you. Your presence and absence are of little importance to me." I stated and looked away. "You grew up in my arms, I know you like the back of my hand." he told as his thumb applied pressure on my jaw to tilt my face towards his. I blinked and looked at him blankly not wanting to give away the fact that I was literally melting in his arms like a puddle. "You're not worthy of my any emotion or feeling. You're mistaken if you think I care." I stated in a matter of factly tone. *** Returning home after four years, Sylvia Mancini will encounter a lot more than she has anticipated. Her life's about to take a complete 360 turn and Adrian Knight just so happens to be the reason why.
