I already knew what kind of man Theo Henshaw was. One who wasn't interested in being a father, one who would rather party and drink and whore his way around London than take on his responsibilities. But raising a motherless, grieving three-year old is expensive, and I needed his financial help. That's the least the man could do after all this time of not even a word from him.
Only, it turns out my late best friend hasn't been entirely honest with me about Theo's interest in his daughter. Or his knowledge that Pippa even exists. So having given him the shock of his life, Theo and I now need to find a way to work together and do what is best for Pippa.
But my preconceived notions about Theo quickly crumbles as I get to know him, and the man behind the public façade is something entirely different. Something I might need and will find it hard to leave behind when it's time for me to move on.

When he had first met Rose he had thought he had found his soul mate. But then his friend Max, whom he had known since childhood, had told Miles that Rose was cheating on him and he had the evidence to prove it.

BREAKING ALL THE RULES
Nairobi Sinclair I'm in route to address a room filled with college-bound seniors when my car dies. Pressed for time, I'm forced to do something I avoid like rule-breakers - one choice at my disposal, public transportation. I hate subways and crowded buses; I evade them like men below my pay grade. Rule #5. I've sworn off the male population, because of my limited experience with them. If they knew my secret I'd become a conquest. Twenty-eight years old, and no man has popped my cork, at least what Zaire, my sister calls it. Despite my sexual reservations, crowded buses made me claustrophobic and gave me hives. I can't help noticing how handsome the bus driver, Theo Jameson, is. A green-eyed, square-jawed stunner captivates me at once. Theo's charm and good looks are a consolation for a crappy day. Against my better judgment, agree to go out with him. Set for an evening of cheap dining, I'm struck speechless, when Theo invites me to one of D.C.'s choicest restaurants. Dressed to the nines, he greets me, not what I expected. Theo looks powerful in control. Like he made important business decisions like the CEO of a multi-million-dollar company, it made little sense to me considering he drove a bus for a living. His story seemed murky and left me puzzled certain there is more to Theo Jameson than meets the eye. Theo Jameson I believe it's better to show than tell and let Nairobi believe what she wants about me. Her mind made up already, although I don't hide his lifestyle from her. I'm referred to as, Prince of the City, by my closest friends. I don't mind the title and not far away from who I am. My heart is big, and so is my bank account. Nairobi has placed me in the friends without benefits category, but I'm not okay with it. I could tell her I'm worth billions but knows to win her heart; I first must gain her trust.Complete

Sufferable Acceptance
I would never admit this to anyone for as long as I lived, and I was going to hell for thinking it, but Theo Romano was hot when he was angry. It wasn't until I finished my dramatic speech did I notice he was standing a few inches from me. I could smell his intoxicating cologne, and I had to hold back every bone in my body that told me to jump him. I'd really done it now. I had pissed off the underboss, and I wasn't even officially hired yet. ***** Amelia Monet had built an empire for herself. To be fair, there was never a shortage of jobs for an assassin. Leaving quickly from a job Amelia walked past a bar that caught her eye. If she had known how much her life would change after that night would she still have walked through those doors? She still couldn't answer that question. That night became the first time she met Theo Romano, heir to the Italian Mafia, and unfortunately for Amelia it wouldn't be the last. ***** This book is considered mature. I don't want to upset anyone. This is the warning to potential triggers of murder, suicide, abuse, and adult themes.Complete
