In Brooke Mildwood's world, heels are as important as the Glock tucked away in her classic double flap Chanel bag. At 21 years old, she knows 3 things: Designer shoes, guns, and doing whatever her father, Max Milwood, asks of her. She's always been the typical rich girl, Dad's princess. But there are costs to the money. Which includes less than legal business in Mansport City. She and her twin, Barrett, often must collect payments and use fists to keep Dad in control of those around him.

When an old enemy comes back into their lives, she's separated from her twin and pushed away form the family business. Brooke has never known the freedom she has now. She's flirting with contractors in flannel shirts and opening up doors to a past love she never thought she'd know again.

Brooke must decide if she'll stay under Max Mildwood's thumb, or risk everything for the life she's dream of in the dark.

Her father finally got caught when she was seven and for a fleeting, white-hot second, it seemed that things were going to be okay. She should've known better.

At the age of eighteen, Jade is counting down the days before her exams are over, excited to spend the summer with her two best friends and boyfriend. Unfortunately, things don't always go according to plan... not in a town like Greencliff. Upon meeting the Coleman's - a family that fits so perfectly into the 'gang' culture she so desperately wants to avoid - Jade finds herself teetering on the edge of a blade, carefully balanced between the life she wants and the life she wants to escape.

STOLEN SMILE [ GXG ] by 8Adreanna

She's a romantic at heart, living in the most unromantic of worlds . . . Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Caterina smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything.

They say first impressions are everything . . . In the murky waters of New York's underworld, Caterina's sister is arranged to marry Jennifer Melgren . A Made Woman, a boss, a cheat-even measured against mafia standards. Her reputation stretches far and wide . After her and Caterina's first encounter ends with an accidental glare on her part, she realizes she's just as rude as she is gorgeous.She doesn't like the woman or anything she stands for, though that doesn't stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when she's near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of her voice. And she's always near. Telling her what to do. Making her feel hotter than any future sister-in-law should. Caterina may be the Sweet Abelli on the outside, but she's beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands, cigarettes, and whiskey-colored eyes. Having already escaped one scandal, however, she can hardly afford to be swept up in another. Besides, even if she were hers, everyone knows you don't fall in love with a Made woman . . . right?
