I didn't come to New York to fall in love. I came here to disappear. 

Mia Monroe has spent two years outrunning the ghosts of her past-the ones with her mother's voice and her father's silence. She doesn't believe in fairytales, happy endings, or men who mean what they say. Her walls are high, her heart locked tight, and her new job at Blake Enterprises is supposed to be a fresh start.

Until he walks in.

Adrian Blake.
CEO. Billionaire. Beautifully controlled chaos. He's everything Mia doesn't trust-powerful, unreadable, and just a little bit cruel. The kind of man who could ruin a woman without ever touching her... and knows exactly how to do it. 

But there's something behind his polished facade-something broken, something dangerous, and Mia can't look away. He doesn't ask questions, and she doesn't offer answers. It should be simple.

It never is.

As lines blur and desire spirals into obsession, Mia is forced to confront the truth: Adrian may not be the villain of this story. 
She might be.

And some things can't be outrun-especially when they feel like home.

A slow-burn, emotionally charged romance about trauma, temptation, and two flawed souls who were never meant to collide... but can't seem to stay away. Perfect for readers who crave morally grey characters, complex emotional stakes, and chemistry that cuts deep.

With a twist.

This is a love story between a man and a woman. If only things are as simple as they sound. Mr Kieran Knight, CEO of an Insurance Firm and Co-Owner of a Private Investigation Agency. A handsome and sexy man with no emotion what-so-ever. Growing up without parents and the occasional mafia running into his office has drained the blood of his dark heart. Easy nights with a line-up of women for him to pick from, are common and plentiful in his attempt to fill that hollow void of his heart. For a man empty of emotion but full of charm and money, would he ever expect to feel something for the engaged woman that just burst into his office? Miss Alina Simmons, soon-to-be married to a businessman and heiress to one of the world's biggest International Bank. After her mother's death from the result of a mafia dealing gone wrong, it has become her life's mission to keep out of any gang business and to protect her father. Her wedding is only a day away, but with her father in hospital and her fiance's shady 'car accidents', she decides to make a trip to the Insurance Company handling the claims for her fiance's many cars. With trust issues, insecurities, a shit load of money and a hot body, how will Alina fare against the very alluring Kieran Knight? Crashing into his office seems like a good start. ================================= Guess who's back again? Hey lovelies! I'm back with a new book and I don't intend for it to be long but we'll see how the story progresses ;) 1. No copying, plagiarising of any sort. If I find out of such activity, I'll get Kieran to pull his gun out on your thick skull :') 2. Got the inspiration for this right after I was done with the first draft of 'Eros' Destiny'. ED really wrecked my brain and I wanted to return to Earth for my next book so here we are. XD Hope you enjoy this as much as I did writing it! :D With love and regards, Janice GoldShaken

June, 2, 2024: #1 in Action-Romance "If you choose to leave, I won't stop you cause I know that would be a sensible decision." He moved even closer to her, encircling her in his arms, her eyes shut at the electrifying sensation that enveloped her, "But I hope you'll stay." He whispered in her ears. A lone tear escaped her eye as she heard his pain stricken words. "I am scared" She confessed, her voice trembling. "I will never let anything happen to you." He assured her, caressing her cheeks. Silence settled upon the room as their gazes remained locked and he leaned forward, placing his lips gently upon her's. An unknown warmth filled her body and instinctively her arms wrapped around his neck, drawing him closer. He reciprocated, pulling her body closer to his and deepening the kiss. He kissed her like there was no tomorrow - passionately. Only when their breaths became ragged did he finally release her, resting his head against hers. The only sound that resonated in the room was of their heavy breaths until Scarlett whispered, "I'll never leave." ___________________________________________ Markus Hayes, A man you don't want to be up against.

Completed on 17/12/20 Romano Bellucci is rich, powerful, ruthless, and calm. He is renowned for his calm right until he tangles himself with Mia, the illegitimate daughter of one of the most dangerous men in the world. A man she has never met or heard of until the night of her nineteenth birthday when she is kidnapped right out of her grandmother's dingy house in Kenya straight to the auction on the black market. Romano is no saint, but will he let this stunning girl on the verge of womanhood be hurled at the mercies of a group of men with no conscious? And will she trust him to save her? **************************************** I felt him before I saw him. His scent seduced my senses before his touch did. He stood behind me, his hands stroking my arms and his breath on my face. "You looked beautiful on that runway. Red agrees with you," His whispers on my ear threw sensations through my whole body. I was trembling, conscious of every part of my body as he stood behind me, his presence heightening my pleasure. He was seducing me, and I knew it. His power surrounded me like a second skin. "You have to stop running from me, haven't you learned that by now?" He informed me in a deep drawl. That arrogance assurance caused me to turn around, coming face to face with him for the third time in my life. "Why can't I shake you?" "Because I'm unshakable," He drawled again.
