He'd rather die than call her his wife.
She'd rather pull the trigger than wear his ring.
Unfortunately, neither of them gets a choice.
When a hidden enemy begins targeting London's most powerful mafia families, Dante Ashcroft and Angelina Moretti are forced into a marriage designed to unite two empires-and end a war before it begins.
But living with your enemy has consequences.
Every stolen glance becomes temptation. Every argument becomes foreplay. Every secret brings them one step closer to the truth.
Because someone has been moving the pieces from the very beginning. And the board has been set for years.

Tell Me What To Do
"Is this right?" Aiden whispered, fingers trembling inside of me. "Tell me what to do." And then his teammate walked in. Ξ¨ The first time Aiden Wilder touched me, he asked if he was doing it right. The second time, he begged me to teach him more. The third time, we weren't alone. Aiden is the NHL's #1 draft pick. Nineteen. Six-foot-one of raw talent and a contract worth millions. He's fast on the ice, awkward off it... and a virgin. I was hired to coach him through fame. Help him deal with the media, the fans, the pressure. Not teach him how to take off my clothes with shaking hands. Not guide his mouth between my thighs and whisper praise into his ear. Not fall for the way he moans like he means it. But then his teammate Luke Mitchell walked in-older, cockier, and definitely not as straight as everyone thinks. He saw what we were doing. He didn't walk away. He asked if we needed help. And Aiden? He said yes. Now there's three of us. No rules. No labels. No going back. But somewhere between the lessons, the touches, and the kisses we shouldn't have shared...someone caught feelings. And I'm scared it wasn't just one of them.Complete

Ugh! That Demon!
I was aiming for good grades instead I got a demon with the world's most illegal smirk, an obsession with my snacks, and the ability to make my heartbeat file for a restraining order. Azrael Veythar-the literal Prince of Gluttony-appeared in a cloud of smoke, stole my hoodie, and announced, "Congrats, mortal. You summoned me. You're mine now." Which is not how the TikTok spell tutorial said it would go. Apparently, demon soulmate bonds are permanent. And Azrael has decided "permanent" means: Eating my pizza at 3 a.m. Flirting like it's a competitive sport Looking at me like I'm both dinner and dessert The worst part? I think the spell worked exactly as intended.Complete
