We were never meant to meet in the first place.
But here we
Her - half asleep after passing out at work.
Me - caught sneaking into her family business in the middle of the night.

'One bed. Two best friends. Three nights playing pretend.

'When I agreed to let Rome be my fake boyfriend on a work trip, I didn’t think acting like a couple would be that complicated.

'He’d flash his killer smile at my colleagues.
Impress them with his charm.
While keeping my toxic ex at bay.

'But that’s not the reality I’m currently drowning in.

'From the moment we arrive at the resort Rome’s hands are all over me.
His whispered words in my ear more scandalously filthy than sweet.

'He’s acting like a lust-drunk fool who’s dying for a taste and I can’t stop blushing… Or panicking… Because there’s only one bed in our hotel room and Rome Cavanaugh wouldn’t know how to sleep in anything other than his birthday suit.'  (Publication summary)

'They say love hurts—but they never mentioned it could make you bleed.

'His deceit was like wine.
I drank it in. Let it intoxicate me.
But he’s not the man I fell for.
Matthew Langston is a lie.

'I’d run from him if I could. I’d flee. If only he hadn’t turned my family against me.
Now, I have nothing. There’s no money, phone, or external support.
Only him, and his obsession with winning me back.

'So I’ll use it to my advantage. I’ll use him.
Because he made a promise to help me get revenge on those we despise.
And once that’s over, so are we.'  (Publication summary)

My heart. My sanity. I risk everything for him and his family of accomplished criminals. But succumbing to my tormentor comes with more than a personal price. Everyone will pay for my mistakes with Cole. And not all will live to tell the tale.'  (Publication summary)

'Her lies are as sweet as his obsession.

'He caught me spying on my enemies, but instead of betraying me, this dark-eyed stranger set his sights on seduction.
He breaks down my walls with smoothly spoken Italian.
Taunts me with his wicked promises.

'He says he wants to help. To give me a future, freedom, and, most of all, vengeance.
Problem is, he has no idea who I really am.

'I’m not someone he should fall for.
I’m a liability.
An outcast.
A threat.
He just doesn’t know it yet.

'I’m infatuated. She’s a pretty little liar who wrapped me around her finger.
I’ll stop at nothing to learn her secrets.
I’ll deceive. Manipulate. Scheme.

'Walking away isn’t an option, even though I’m not someone she should succumb to.
I’m a predator.
A criminal.
The villain.

But this woman is mine.
I won’t give her up.
She just doesn’t know it yet.' (Publication summary)

'It found me anyway.

'Tall. Dark. Addictive.
'He unravels me with his kisses.
'Melts me with his touch.

'But he has secrets.
'A hidden agenda, beyond his craving for me.

'A desire for more than tangled silk sheets and our sweat-slicked skin.

'I need to run. From him. From the lies.

'But running from the hunter means I've now become the prey.'
