Maxine Moss arrived in Pacific City to start a brand new life complete with her first real job as a marketing assistant at Hedenby Holdings.

Life was supposed to be simple until the unexpected happens.

After a disastrous first meeting with her infuriatingly sexy boss, an unlikely friendship starts with the man she just can't quite figure out.

The waters become turbulent and unpredictable as old flames and new sparks add fuel to an already slow-burning fire that Maxine fears might burn her if she lets herself get too close.

As Maxine's world expands into unchartered territories for a small-town, big-dreams kind of girl, she finds herself caught in the spotlight and worse, in a love story with a man who was never looking for one.

Will she run in the opposite direction or will she free-fall?

Sex and the Billionaire Crime Boss by JanePeden
30 parts Complete Mature
Billionaire crime boss Max is everything idealist young attorney Hadley should run from-a man as powerful and dangerous as he is wealthy, and someone who always takes what he wants. Loving him could destroy her. But she can't stop. Season 1 of Sex and the Billionaire Crime Boss *** When Hadley Reese Jones' estranged grandfather offers her a top position at his elite Miami law firm, she says goodbye to low pay and long hours in Philadelphia for a chance to unearth family secrets and inject excitement into her life. But she doesn't expect a hot encounter with a mysterious stranger on the plane to Miami to turn her plans upside down. Billionaire entrepreneur Maxwell Bennett is the privileged, devilishly handsome heir to a Miami crime dynasty. He's used to getting what he wants. And he wants Hadley. Soon, Hadley finds herself swept up in a world of nightclubs, private jets, and luxury beyond her wildest dreams. But when she discovers Max is more crime boss than businessman, and walking away from his father's criminal enterprise isn't an option, she's faced with an impossible decision. Should she put aside her strong sense of law and follow her heart, even if it could mean losing everything? Or should she walk away from Max and their sizzling chemistry - if it isn't already too late? *** "You don't want me as a client?" Max lowers his voice. "Worried about a conflict of interest once I get you in my bed?" A hot stab of arousal shoots through me, and I know I'm blushing. "You're presuming a lot from one kiss," I tell him, pulse racing. "Am I? I have a feeling we'll be seeing each other again soon. On a professional and personal level." When my gaze locks on Max's incredibly blue eyes, I feel disoriented. I'm worried I should stay as far away as possible from Maxwell Bennett. And even more worried I won't.

With a dash of roguish charm and a cocksure smile, Nathan Blake is the ultimate fantasy. He can have any woman he wants with only a glance. And he wants me.

I've been second best before. It isn't happening again. One kiss and I'm caught under his spell, drawn to him with every breath I take. I can't resist.

Salvation will take you on a captivating sensual journey of finding, fighting and finally giving in to a love that is clearly meant to be.

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.

In a world of neon lights, pounding bass, and nights that blur into mornings, she swears she's untouchable. Love is a curse she's learned to dodge, a poison she refuses to taste. Her life is simple: survive the chaos, drown the silence, and never let anyone close enough to matter. Then he appears-danger wrapped in a smirk, a disaster in human form. Everyone warns her about him, but fate has a twisted sense of humor. What starts as a game-one she thinks she controls-spirals into something deeper, darker, and far more dangerous. He won't leave her alone. She won't back down. And somewhere between the teasing, the tension, and the night after night of unresolved electricity, she starts to fall. But falling for him has a price. Because he isn't searching for love. He's searching for a cure-for someone to numb the chaos he carries like a second skin. And she refuses to become anyone's temporary fix. This is a story of two broken flames drawn to each other in the dark-burning bright, burning fast, burning wrong. A love they never wanted. A disaster they never saw coming. ----- [MUST READ!!: The photos I used on the book cover are not mine, and I just borrowed them.
