She had always desired to be a businesswoman; however, when she agreed to be Dominic Beretta's pretend fianceé, she realized she should have declined. Dominic was a good-looking man who made all the wrong, dangerous moves, and Claudia knew that she should have listened to her instincts when things seemed too good to be true. It looks like the fictitious scheme is real because Dominic will do anything to keep her safe.

~ A spin-off is planned, but there is no sequel. Tainted Hearts is a standalone storyline that will not be continued in a series.

The Blonde Cheerleader by yourstrulytrina

In every stupid and cliché teen fiction story, there's always the blonde cheerleader that people think is a complete bitch and acts as the sinister antagonist of the story. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm that blonde cheerleader that people think is a complete bitch and acts as the sinister antagonist of the story. Is it my fault that I was born with this hair color or with the blue eyes? Is it my fault that I worked hard to be the leader of the cheer team? And how come there's always this goody-two-shoes who comes in and rains on my parade? Let's list off the criteria: Blonde? Obviously. Blue eyes? Like, as you say, "a reflection of the ocean" Cheerleader? Complete with the uniform. Bimbo? My grades beg to differ. A bitch? I'm not even going to deny it. Antagonist? Well, I'll let you be the judge of that.
