Damaged Goods
Lyla felt like she was damaged goods, and had no interest in a relationship or another marriage, after the last one nearly killed her. But maybe a relationship that was treated like a business contract would be the safest place for her. TJ needs to marry Lyla in order to inherit the family business, but he wasn't looking for a relationship any time soon, as he was avoiding commitment after his last serious relationship didn't turn out the way he had hoped. But a marriage to Lyla was the only way to get what he had been working toward, his entire life. TJ and Lyla knew each other as children, but when they are brought together again, after years of disappointment for each of them, the contractual relationship they agreed on becomes nothing like either could have envisioned. **Trigger Warning, some of the chapters in this book contains violence**Complete
Rule No. 1: Don't Fall
"He made the rules. I just had to follow them. Thirty days. That's how long I have to pretend to be Grayson Ashford's girlfriend. To the public, he's a billionaire genius with ice in his veins and charm on his tongue. To me, he's the man holding my brother's future hostage. The rules were simple: - Smile for the cameras. - Play the part. - Don't fall in love. But nothing about Grayson is simple. Not the way he looks at me like I'm a challenge. Not the way he protects me like I'm more than just a prop. And definitely not the way my heart starts to forget the deal we made. Because the longer I stay, the more I realize one thing: He doesn't just break the rules-he rewrites them. And the first rule I break... might just break me." "I needed money. He needed a lie. We both got more than we bargained for."Complete

𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐞𝐬
"𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐲." ~ Marriage was never for love-it was for legacy. A strategy. A performance. And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH. This book was immaculate. I could NOT put it down at all.
