Valentina Kane has everything fame, fortune, and a face the world adores. But Hollywood's brightest star hides a darkness no one suspects, secrets that could bring her glittering world crashing down. She's perfected the art of survival, keeping everyone at arm's length to protect what's buried in her past until he appears.
Lucian Draven is a man on a mission, an FBI agent assigned to an undercover operation with one target: Valentina Kane. He's the best at what he does cold, calculating, and ruthless when necessary. But he didn't count on her. With each guarded smile and defiant glance, she draws him in, leaving him to question his orders and his motives.
The deeper he gets, the more the lines blur. Lucian knows he's playing with fire, but something about Valentina's fierce vulnerability makes him burn to uncover every dark corner of her soul. Valentina knows she's dancing on a knife's edge, but the thrill of trusting someone to want someone she shouldn't tempt her too much to resist.
In a world where lies and loyalty collide, they each hold dangerous secrets, and every forbidden touch could lead to ruin. In the shadows where they come together, danger is just one aspect of the story.

Tell Me It's Forever
"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs. I quickly grab one of them so she can stop hurting herself and put pressure on my palm instead. "I need you to stop crying and go rest now. I think that would be best for you." "But..." "No buts. I know you're a strong independent woman that really needs to solve this and find out what's going on but stop okay? I'll take care of it." "Pinky swear?" She sniffs as she holds out her little finger and I find myself smiling at her. "Of course." I wrap my finger with hers.

Hostile Takeover
Genre: Mafia Romance | Enemies-to-Lovers | Power Couple | Slow Burn Spice ⸻ Valentina Cruz didn't claw her way to the top of the corporate world just to be pushed around by a man - especially not one with blood on his hands and a smirk that could start a war.

But when Valentina's company accidentally buys one of his family's laundering fronts, she becomes his new obsession - and his biggest problem. She wants to keep her empire clean. He wants his property back. Neither plans on falling for the enemy. But when an unknown rival targets them both, Valentina and Luca are forced into a fake partnership - complete with shared office space, public "engagements," and way too many late nights that stop being about business. He calls her "boss" just to get under her skin. She makes him sign NDAs before kissing her. Together? They're chaos wrapped in expensive suits. ⸻ Expect: • power play banter that turns into sexual tension • a CEO in stilettos outsmarting a man who's killed for less • mafia-style "protection" that gets a little too personal • humor, luxury, danger, and heat in every chapter • a love story that starts with blackmail and ends with a blood oath ⸻ She wanted control.
