"what on earth are you doing, miss. johnson?"
"fixing my lashes,"
"and why, miss. johnson, are you fixing them as yushikamov's men are currently fucking firing at us?"
"so that if i die, at least i die cute,"

-------------

Angel Johnson is an aspiring actress. Okay, maybe not the most successful one, but the emphasis is on the 'aspiring'. When a failed audition for an action blockbuster results in the most unexpected proposition, Angel finds herself in a rather awkward position, staring into the deep green eyes of the hottest man she had ever seen.

(We're talking six foot four, 180 lbs of pure muscle, chiselled jaw and cheekbones, the works.)

And his charcoal Berreta M9 handgun pointed right at her temple.

Romantically daring, isn't it?

No, quite literally. His name is Lukas Daring and just a few minutes with Angel Johnson and hers becomes a name he just can't stop thinking about. So in exchange for not putting a bullet in her pretty, little head (even though there have been many, many, many instances he had been itching to do so), he offers her a summer job as his assistant.

What? Assassins need administrative work done too.

Angel would be getting terrific benefits too; a sweet bi-weekly pay-check (assuming she is alive to collect it), unlimited employee (getaway) cars, a cutthroat work environment and worldwide health benefits that cover everything from mosquito bites to bullets. And what other way to learn how to kick ass in an action movie than from a real-life assassin?

It all seems pretty straightforward on paper, but with an overpopulation-concerned villain, hit jobs that mysteriously go awry and the fact that Angel and Daring can never seem to agree on anything, Angel has one summer to kill it at her job, or, well, you get the point.

This is one summer job to die for.

#3 in Falling For A Womaniser Series. The book does not have to be read in order, but it may contain some spoilers for the other books. *** Miranda (Mel) Barone had always been a sucker for bad boys. It was until she met a Slade Kolosov who had rescued her, that she found a new definition of the term 'bad boy'. Recently moving into Chicago, Mel's world is turned upside down by the Russian Mobster. Ruling the Russian Mob in Chicago, everything is right in the world for Slade Kolosov. That is until a certain strawberry blonde took over his mind and thoughts. After rescuing her from a robbery, Slade is intrigued and drawn to her. Throw in rival gangs who are willing to do anything to take over the Underground word in Chicago, Mel's older brother who is the leader of the Italian Mafia, things would certainly get interesting. Could he convince her that loving a criminal isn't wrong and messed up as it seems? *** I bit lightly on my lower lip and approached slowly, "What are you doing?" "You didn't say if you preferred Miranda, Mel or Pepper." My jaw worked for a few moments before I finally replied, "Mel. I prefer Mel. How do you know that's my name or my car?" Slade remained silent before he responded, "I was waiting for you, Mel." My nickname rolled off his tongue sensually and I shivered involuntarily. I frowned at my reaction before pushing my hair back behind ear, "Seriously Slade. What do you want from me? Why can't you leave me be?" Slade got off my car and strode towards me before smirking down at me, "You got my attention sweetheart. I'm never going away." (CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE, SOME VIOLENCE, AND A LITTLE SEXUAL CONTENT. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.) Highest Ranking: #9 Romance 29/11/15 (one day, I'll edit this whole story!!)

The fourth book in the Bad Things series. This can be read as a stand-alone. I was shackled to a table in an interrogation room. Some part of me was afraid Jesse would break, but I focused on keeping my expression light. "Let's talk about your parents, shall we?" Ademar asked. I chuckled. "At least buy me dinner first, man. I'm not that easy." I rolled my eyes as I leaned back in the chair. My cocky smirk was in place. "You are in no position to get smart with me, boy," he sneered. "Does your daughter know you are a dirty cop?" I arched a brow. "Mia, isn't it? Pretty little thing," I purred. My hands were cuffed in front of me. I tucked my hands under my chin as I watched anger flood his eyes. "You stupid little asshole," he growled. "You will stay away from my daughter. I'll be sure of it." "Asshole?" I tilted my head side to side and then nodded. "I'll give you that, but stupid?" I snorted. "You have another thing coming." I wiggled my eyebrows. "You know I was thinking about asking Mia to the prom..." I trailed off. "But what shall I wear? See, the only thing I can seem to think that would look good on me is... her." I grinned widely, showing all my teeth. Seventeen-year-old Angel Garcia is determined to take over as the leader of the Latin Kings. But his life gets flipped upside down when he meets Mia Martinez. Mia isn't a typical girl like Angel thought, she is the daughter of an overly determined cop. And everyone already knows the Garcia family doesn't play by the rules. This book is completed!

She goes in to help, but ends up breaking the first rule of interning at a prison; she falls for the inmate. ***** Carter Reynolds' teenage years ended the second the gavel hit the sound block. Or maybe they ended when the police found him standing over a dead body, drenched in blood. It might even have been before that. When he connected his fist with a face that left a broken jaw in its wake. Either way, it was over. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison. He accepted his fate, only promising himself to never care for anyone so intensely again. Almost four years into his sentence, Arya Crawford walks through the wrought iron prison gates. A self-proclaimed miniature philanthropist with a heart of gold, a law-abiding student with an urge to always have fun, a girl with a silent cause. She had taken up an internship at the New York State Penitentiary. And in time, Carter and Arya both realize something. She had broken the first rule instructed by the warden. She had fallen for an inmate. Which meant she couldn't stay. He had broken the promise he made to himself. He had started to care for her. Which meant he couldn't let her leave. But it's a little difficult to make that happen when you're stuck in a closet sized cell. And waiting twenty-one years is out of the question. ***** Highest Rankings: #6 in Romance, #2 in Passion, #4 in Badboy, #1 in Witty (for those who don't think an inmate/prison trope is their cup of tea, don't be put off because the story is first and foremost 'romance') Disclaimer** Reader discretion advised. - Mature content Story contains explicit language, sexual content, and physical and sexual violence.

And she would eventually live for me, too. With or without her blessing. However, circumstances change. And that purity I once relished in; her light in contrast to my darkness, disappeared. But, don't worry my little sinner, I will haunt you. And I won't be as kind this time. EDEN I won't let you scare me. That's what I keep telling myself. And yet, I see you. In every dark corner, in every casting shadow -- I see you when I close my eyes. And I hate myself for it. But I'm older now. Wiser. You took my innocence from me, and while I hate myself for allowing you to, I hate you just that much more. But I won't let you in this time.
