Mature
Claire has been Carson's girlfriend for a year, fiancee for three months. But that's not what he sees her as; she's property, his to do with as he pleases. 

Even bet in a card game. 

One night, desperate for a front in a Texas Hold Em game, he bets Claire to his cousin Tommy for twenty-four hours. 

And loses. 

But what happens after those twenty-four hours are up and neither Tommy nor Claire is ready to say goodbye? 

Carson's wrath and their well known Mafia family name lead to chaos. 

And love. For Claire at least because Tommy told her from the begining he doesn't do love.

This is the first book of a trilogy. All books must be read in chronological order as you may not understand what is happening and I will not be responsible for the caused confusion. ~~~~~~~~~ BRIELLE One night turned into a complete fiasco that seemed to haunt her to the present day. Brielle Hansley was the picture-perfect girl with perfect grades, a reserved job offer and a boyfriend who seemed perfect. At first. Her life couldn't have been any better until her sister got engaged to the man whose brother she knew better than she desired. It was only a month, she told herself. A month under the same roof and then everything would go back to normal. But as she starts to discover new secrets that seem to intertwine her life with his, she doubts she will ever be able to forget the man with whom a one-night stand seemed too good to be true. ~~~~~~~~~ NICOLAS Nicolas Salucci, the heir to the Italian Cosa Nostra was reserved and couldn't confide in anyone. It seemed like his life would continue to be as shallow and dark as his father made it to be until he met her. After overhearing a scheme which could end Nicolas's life, she demanded only a single night. One that he was tempted to give her and did. Only, he didn't think that that one night would cost him his entire heart. The woman was everything he desired and more. Yet he despised her. His father had chosen a woman for him to marry yet how could he marry someone whom he had no feelings for? As verities begin to arise, Nicolas begins to realise that maybe he only hated himself for falling for a woman he couldn't have. And a woman that quickly became his forbidden desire... ~~~~~~~~~ Warning!!! Includes explicit sexual scenes, strong language, mature content, and mentions of suicide.

Could you run away from your destiny? Rick almost managed it. He could seem like the boy next door, but he had a big dark secret. He ran away from his country, Italy, to live a normal life and started from the scratch in New York where no one knew him. Now Rick lived the life he wished, but his life got more beautiful when he met a lovely girl, Vanessa Campbell. However, his happiness didn't last longer when he found out who her father was. The leader of the American mafia. Vanessa felt an instant connection with this mysterious Italian as soon as she met him. At first, he looked interested in her as well, but this mysterious handsome foreigner put a distance between them as soon as he found out who her father was.
