Living in New York isn't all it's cracked up to be. After living in the Big City for nearly five years, the most Ida Farcao has achieved is attaining her Degree in Business from NYU. Working at a local coffee shop during the day and a waitress at a local Strip Club at night, barely able to make rent, Ida and her roommate Cassie assumed their life had hit a dead end. Of course, that was until one night, Ida was walking home from her shift at the club, and heard a Gun Shot in the alley. Luciano Di Marchi, Don of the Male Del Brenta, a hushed whisper in the streets that could send any criminal insane with fear. After a usual mission is interrupted by a civilian, he's left with no option but to take her and deal with her elsewhere. But Ida is talented and more useful to Luciano alive than dead, but when the lines between Business and Pleasure start to blur, things get dangerous. Especially when the Streets of New York become more dangerous than ever. Luciano DiMarchi, the Don of the Male Del Brenta, doesn't like being caught. So when a young civilian catches him mid-kill, the only thing he can do is take his murder tally up a notch. But he used his last bullet on the dead body now bleeding out on his floor. He's left with no choice but to kidnap her. But Ida is more than meets the eye, with hidden skills that can benefit Luciano just as much he can benefit her. When the line blurs between a job and romance, Ida gets more confused than ever before. This story is updated three times a week!

Enemies to lovers- Boss/employee- Bickering and Bantering- Billionaire romance Second chance romance HEA romance novel If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. When I saw a job opportunity to work at a resort a few hours north of the cities, including a place to stay, rent-free, I jumped on it. But, unfortunately, what I didn't know was that the one who owned the resort was a man I owed a huge chunk of money to. All because of an accident I still believe he caused. Ian Lockwood isn't like any other guy I've ever met. The man's devastatingly handsome, gorgeous to be exact, and his green eyes are so damn intoxicating and intense that they wretchedly became windows to my soul. But he had one ugly attitude that turned me off. Calling Ian a jerk is an understatement. He's a straight-up asshole. Every time we're around each other, he does and says whatever he can to get my blood to boil. And he enjoys every minute of it. The problem I have with him is that he's an enemy. Yet whenever I'm near him, the irresistible fragrance that pours off him enhances my desires, and the area between my thighs intensively pulsates. And if my attraction to the asshole increases, I'm afraid he'll catch on to those feelings and take advantage of it by using me to pay off my debt. Even though Ian gets under my skin, I find myself falling for him the more bickering and bantering we do every time we're around each other. And if I can't get these uncontrollable desires of being with Ian under control, I'm afraid Ian and I will find ourselves underneath the sheets. That is if I don't see myself knocking him out of his misery before then.
