Former US Secret Service agent Lilianna Alarie thought she'd left her high-stakes career behind-until a cryptic job ad at her local café pulls her back into the treacherous landscape of white-collar crime. The offer? A chance to join an elite team planning the most audacious art heist in history. The catch? The mastermind behind the operation is Lucien Macoy-the man responsible for the scandal that cost Lilianna her career.

Lucien Macoy is the tall, handsome, and condescending criminal mastermind with a reputation for always getting what he wants. Lilianna knows she should walk away, but with a crippling debt hanging over her, this high-stakes mission might be her only way out. Still, partnering with the man who destroyed her life means navigating a razor-thin line between reluctant alliance and seething animosity.

As they prepare to infiltrate the world of fine art, the tension between them threatens to unravel the entire operation. With millions of euros-and their lives-on the line, Lilianna and Lucien must decide if they can trust each other-or if betrayal is inevitable in a world where greed, deception, and desire are all part of the game.All Rights Reserved

Hate Loving You | COMPLETED by SkylerChase29

❝ I love to hate you; because if I don't, then I will hate to love you. ❞ (PLEASE note that this was my first work and is unedited. I've greatly matured in my writing and please don't judge me on the basis of this piece of work. Read at your own behest.) ~ "You know....." he whispered seductively. "People would die to see us together." Huh, as if. "Too bad their dreams won't ever come true." I leaned forward and gave him a sorry look. "Ever." I added with a sharp edge and narrowed my eyes. He smirked. I stood my ground. But I could still feel my cheeks take up a slight pink. It also made me think if Sam was my only mysterious problem. But I knew better. ~ They're arch-enemies. One popular, friendly girl and a hugely dangerous secret. One popular, arrogant guy and a dark deadly secret. One ruined relationship. Two entwined secrets. They hate. They bite. They prank. They fight. But above all.....they deny. When popular and handsome Sam Drew Lockhart and just as much of his equal regarding arrogance and sarcasm, Lea Olsen Summers, find themselves at their usual revenge crossroads, sparks weren't meant to go off. They never did in the last three years, so why would they now? With a mystery to unravel and a dangerous and mysterious stalker hot on her heels, Lea finds herself in a tight spot. What she thought would be easy, soon turned into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Feeling history repeat itself, Sam isn't really willing to let everything, including Lea, go easily. Even if his secrets are in danger of being revealed. Now despite all this happening, was friendship; let alone love, still an option for these two? That too, when more than a few guys were willing to fight for Lea's affections? Read to find out. And trust me........

Penalty Kill [NY Hockey #1] by katrinarust

[actively editing] With her nose in books and his brawn getting him nowhere on or off the ice, they find themselves drawn together, sharing their baggage and learning what it might mean for each of them to love again. Jake Bryers is no stranger to the pressures of being a professional hockey player. It's something that he's dealt with consistently for the past fifteen years. Throughout his career, he's experienced it all-the electric thrill of winning divisions and conference titles, and even making it to the Stanley Cup Finals on more than one occasion. His dream was always to skate the cup at least once, but as he enters the late stage of his long, tumultuous career, he finds himself struggling to perform like he once had as a younger, inspired player. Harper Clark has been proficient at one thing throughout her life-constantly moving forward without really going anywhere. After having moved to the Big Apple to pursue a better life outside of the dangerous one she found herself leading in the Midwest, she finds herself stagnating after getting her degree from Columbia. She quietly enjoys her job at the public library, treading water while the undeniable feeling of discontent grows stronger within her. It's nothing short of fate when Jake and Harper happen to cross paths at the library, and though their lives couldn't be any more different, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to one another as they try to navigate mending each other's wounded hearts.
