Luna
Don't date a hockey player.
Simple enough, right? Or at least, that's what I thought when I promised my father I would never date anyone from his team.
Then I was assigned to tutor Vaughn Banks, LSU's broody and mysterious right winger.
Vaughn is ultra-hot, ultra-tattooed-and ultra-forbidden. Problem is, he's also insanely funny, a secret softy, and the first guy who's been patient enough to break down the ten-foot walls around my heart.
We tell everyone we're just friends, but we both know it's a lie. Between our stolen glances and secret sleepovers, it's only a matter of time before everyone else finds out, too.
Vaughn
When I learn that the gorgeous brunette I keep seeing around campus is Coach Ward's daughter, I make a point to stay away. Her father knows a few too many of my past sins, and the last thing he'd want is a guy with an arrest record dating his only daughter.
My strategy works... until I start flunking calc, and Luna is assigned as my tutor.
I sit across from her in the library three days per week, pretending I'm not falling for her like I've never fallen before. But when one moment of weakness changes everything, there's no more pretending-and there's no going back.
Landing in the penalty box is the least of my worries. I have everything on the line, and this is a shot I can't afford to miss.
Deadly assassins Allegra and Ace have been trying in vain to kill each other for years. With a mutual enemy threatening their mafias, they find themselves in an unexpected alliance, and soon discover killing each other isn't the only temptation they need to resist...
******
Allegra Grey is poised to be the next great American mafia leader, and she's more than living up to the name. A skilled assassin, there's only one target who's ever gotten away from her-suave, sinfully handsome Ace De Luca, heir to the Italian mafia and the Greys' biggest rival. When both mafias are faced with a dangerous threat, they're forced to work together to protect their families, and unexpected sparks fly. Allegra definitely isn't one to sleep with the enemy, especially an arrogant womanizer like Ace. But there's an undeniable electricity between them and Allegra's not sure it's all hatred. Ace may be bad news, but Allegra's never been afraid of a little danger. As the fire they're playing with grows to a scorching blaze, one thing is clear: trying to kill each other may have been difficult, but resisting this intense chemistry will be impossible.
