She runs a quiet bakery in Albuquerque.
No one knows she used to be a surgeon in Naples. No one knows she betrayed her crime family. And no one knows her real name.
Then Lalo Salamanca walks in-smiling, dangerous, and far too curious.
What begins with espresso and lemon cake spirals into something darker. Now Giulia must choose: keep her secrets or risk everything for the one man who might see through them.
A/N: I'm trying to make a slow burn, but who knows how things will turn out.

Just this once ~ Aaron Hotchner
Arabella never meant to fall for him. He's her boss. A single father. A man still carrying the weight of too much loss. But the night Aaron Hotchner calls and asks her to watch his son, something shifts. It starts with Jack-movie nights, soccer games, inside jokes. But somewhere between bedtime stories and quiet cups of coffee, Arabella finds herself drawn into the spaces Hotch keeps guarded. The silences. The glances. The way he looks at her like she's the first steady thing he's allowed himself in years. Their connection is unspoken, fragile, and slow-achingly slow. But some loves aren't born in sparks. Some are built in quiet moments-until they become impossible to ignore. Just this once, she lets herself want more. Just this once, he lets her in. And neither of them is ready for what that means.

The Bursting Heat (Book 2) ✓
Alice "Ali" Baker had it all. She had an amazing loving family, a big brother to follow everywhere, and a neighbor who made her heart burst from desire. See, Raphael Romero was all she ever wanted since she was in diapers, and that's not even an exaggeration. From the moment she laid eyes on him, she was by his side constantly. Their families were always joking that they'd get married one day...it wasn't a joke for them. It was a fact they both knew. Well, we all know what happens with plans made in your teenage years - they change, and it's expected...in a way. What Ali didn't expect was for her life to turn on its head and destroy her piece by piece. The bad news: the one who could glue her together didn't even know where she was. The worst news: even if he found her, she wasn't sure he'd be able to fix her... "The Bursting Heat" is Book 2 of the "SWAT Team" series. It can be read as a stand-alone.Complete
A pretty kind of deadly
Delilah Kline lives a double life. By day, she's the quiet girl slipping out the back door of her grandmother's bakery. By night, she's the kind of precision the underworld pays for, an assassin with steady hands, colder instincts, and a reputation for leaving nothing behind but silence. She doesn't flinch. She doesn't question. She doesn't miss. But when she's paired with Alias Gried, the sharp, infuriating heir to the powerful company that controls her contract, routine turns unpredictable. Their assignment starts as just another mission... until they uncover something they were never meant to see. Suddenly, orders feel wrong. Shadows move differently. And the people pulling the strings don't look so untouchable anymore. As her world begins to fray, Lila finds herself facing the one thing she's never been trained for: Questions. Who can she trust? What is she really killing for? And if every life has a price... What's hers worth? In the quiet between heartbeat and trigger pull, truths have a way of bleeding through.
