When Lucy Pevensie embarks on the voyage aboard the Dawn Treader, she expects adventure, danger, and perhaps a glimpse of Aslan's wisdom. What she doesn't expect is Kaelos, a cold, enigmatic star banished to the mortal world. Tasked with guiding the crew to the ends of the earth, Kaelos seems distant, sarcastic, and far too perfect for Lucy's liking-or so she tells herself.
Kaelos, on the other hand, can't decide what's more irritating: Lucy's endless kindness or the way she's starting to unravel the walls he's carefully built around his heart. He's seen humanity's fleeting nature before, and he's not about to lose himself for a mortal girl, especially one so stubbornly loyal and fiercely brave.
But as their journey takes them through perilous seas and magical islands, Lucy's insecurities and Kaelos' hidden scars come to light. The star who thought himself incapable of love might find a reason to stay grounded, and the girl who thought herself ordinary might realize she's been extraordinary all along.
"The Hacker and the Mob Boss" ❦
Reyna Fields seems to be an ordinary girl with her thick-framed glasses, baggy clothes, hair always up in a ponytail, and her head tucked away behind a computer screen. However, no one knows she's armed with a genius IQ and a heart of gold. She hacks her way into virtual systems on a search for her mother.
Unfortunately for her, she has hacked into the wrong database. She hacked into the database of the notorious mob boss, Santino "Saint" Venturi.
Saint is the opposite of his name. He's known for his ruthlessness. As a mob boss to a mafia, he learned to eat or be eaten. When Reyna stumbles upon his database, a plan dispersed into his mind. He's going to take her.

"I don't share, angel."
"He's a friend," she found herself saying. Dante was too busy staring at her to notice the fiery glare in Saint's eyes. She was mentally praying that Dante would just look away.
His fingers trailed up her leg before his hand latched onto her sex. He held her there while a small gasp left her lips. "I will fuck you on this table if he doesn't stop looking at what belongs to me."
