"What are you left with, if you give up everything you think you know, for love?"
LYDIA YOUNG hates her life. She's rich, beautiful, and popular, and dates a future lord, but her only wish is to get as far away from it all as possible. And she would do everything and anything in her power to do so.
She's been admitted to a top university and is keeping everything in her life in check, preparing for moving away to Scotland and finally starting anew.
Until her best childhood friend, MARK CARTER returns from America and drops into her life like a grenade, about to explode. Devastatingly handsome, grown-up and shroud in mystery, he sucks her into a vortex of love, excitement, and secrets until Lydia is left stranded far, far away from her clearly laid out, preset path.
At least, she still has Mark.
Or so she thinks.
She can tell Mark is hiding something. She just doesn't know what yet.
When the grenade finally goes off and Mark's past and Lydia's present catch up with them, Lydia has only one question to ask herself: What are you left with, when you give up everything you think know, for love?

Title: THE ENIGMA'S DEBT
Blurb:
He paid the Devil for a night of pleasure. Now the Devil has come to collect.
Julian Romanov is the "Ice Prince" of Russia. Arrogant. Untouchable. And secretly dying.
To the world, he is a ruthless Alpha heir. In reality, he is an abused Omega hiding his nature with illegal suppressants that are slowly poisoning his blood.
One night of freedom in Italy led to the biggest mistake of his life. He slept with a stranger, left a stack of cash on the nightstand to insult him, and ran away before dawn.
He thought he would never see the man again. He was wrong.
The stranger was Luciano Rossi-the most feared Enigma in Europe. A man who doesn't forgive insults. And he has just arrived in Moscow to sign a deal with Julian's family.
Luciano doesn't want ports. He doesn't want weapons. He pulls a crumpled, blood-stained bill out of his pocket and smiles.
"You treated me like a whore, Julian. You thought you could pay for my time?"
Luciano leans in, his Enigma scentm suffocating the room.
"Keep your money. I'm going to take something else. I'm going to own you until you beg me to stop."
