Lost. Broken. And alone.

Ashley Johnson had it all and then it was gone. In a single instant, her life was destroyed. 

Her relationship was a happy one. After supporting her fiancé, a pop artist that exploded onto the music scene. He left her for a woman barely old enough to drink. 

Broken and penniless, she fled. Working for scraps and trying to finish her last year of school, she wanted nothing to do with men. Until, she clashed face first into the arms of a gray-eyed devil. He was tall, imposing and ruggedly handsome. Everything her ex-fiancé wasn't. He made her nervous, the heat between them smoldering.


Billionaire, Thane Harrington III was a savvy business man of one of the best security firms in the nation. He was handsome, rich and lonely. Having his fair share of women, he was tired of the games. They were always vying for his wealth and status or too needy. Giving up on finding the one, he never expected to run into a blue-eye beauty.

He wanted her. And he will have her.

I needed money so I took a job as a pool girl at an all-male exclusive club. It would be easy: pick up towels and serve drinks to bored billionaires with too much time and money on their hands. But when I saw what happens at the pool, my mouth dropped open.

But one day, a handsome billionaire sees me ... and his blue eyes gleam. Trent Lewis is irresistible with a body to die for and an empire at his command. But he only has one thing on his mind. Swimming lessons. Getting that water dirty all over again. Floating among the bubbles. Enjoying the steamy depths. And after we're done ... they'll have to drain the entire pool to get it clean!

#𝟒 ▪ 𝐆𝐮𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐬. ❝I hate you,❞ I hissed, pushing him away to create some desperately needed distance between us. He smirked and my breath hitched when his blue eyes twinkled with wild delight. Damn it. ❝Didn't you know, sweetheart?❞ He chuckled, huskily, and my body shuddered at how delicious it sounded. ❝Hate is just the beginning of a love story.❞ * Aria Moretti is a powerful woman. Born into the mafia and raised as an assassin, she is everyone's deepest desire and darkest nightmare. But with the world corrupted by monsters, Aria has plans to change the game... and she intends on leaving a trail of blood in her wake. However, there is one person who could ruin it all, the person who despises her the most: Nero Russo. Charismatic, gorgeous, and the reigning Don of the Italian mafia, he is notoriously known for getting what he wants, when he wants it. And with Aria back in town, Nero has his sights set on her. But lines begin to blur and boundaries are crossed; betrayal almost looks like loyalty and, as the saying goes, hate is just the beginning of a love story. Billionaire's Attraction is a second chance, enemies-to-lovers, mafia romance, and a standalone in the Guns and Roses Series.
