✨ About the Book ✨
An Italian billionaire.

The girl next door.

A marriage pact neither of them forgot.

One secret that puts her back in his life.

Lorenzo Deluca has always been mistaken for the good guy. Chivalrous. Controlled. The one people turn to when conflict threatens to destroy everything.

But Lorenzo is still a Deluca.

Unpredictable. Dangerous. And loyal to a family legacy built on secrets.

The one thing he doesn't see coming? Janet Gibelli.

His childhood friend. The girl next door. The woman he once promised to marry if neither of them had found someone else by thirty.

Back then, it was a harmless pact.

Now it's the perfect excuse for Janet to get close again.

She tells herself she's only doing what she has to do. Working for a rival family has taught her how to survive in a world built on loyalty, leverage, and betrayal. So, when Lorenzo's father offers her a better deal-and a chance to switch sides-she takes it.

The catch?

She has to get close to Lorenzo. Watch him. Report back.

But Lorenzo doesn't know the truth.

And the closer Janet gets, the harder it is for him to keep seeing her as the girl he grew up with.

Their marriage pact was supposed to be a joke. A promise made before money, power, and family secrets could ruin everything.

But once Lorenzo realizes Janet is no longer the girl next door, he'll do whatever it takes to keep her.

Even if claiming her means exposing every secret buried in his family's legacy.

✨ About the Book ✨
He only wants an heir. She wants everything.

Sienna Rossi's life has never been her own. Sister to the Don of New York, her every move is controlled by the Mafia. Except, that is, when it comes to her secret existence behind her computer screen. So when she's invited to Paris for the summer to study under the best hackers in the world, she jumps at the chance.

While in France, Sienna finally experiences fun, freedom, and an anonymous whirlwind romance. But she soon discovers she didn't return home alone: Two pink lines on the pregnancy test promise to change everything, threatening the stability of her brother's empire.

Then the man Sienna never thought she'd see again walks through the door: Dimitri Ivanov, head of the Russian Bratva and father of her unborn child. Their reunion is nothing like their scorching weekend tryst. He thinks she trapped him; she thinks he's an as***le. But Dimitri needs an heir, and Sienna will do anything to secure her family's safety.

A marriage of convenience could solve both their problems. And despite the hatred brewing between them, their initial desire still burns hot as ever. But as the future looms before them, shrouded in secrecy, there's only one thing Sienna's sure of: There are no limits to what she'll do to protect her baby.

✨ About the Book ✨
Ninety days.

That’s all the time I have to prove to the only woman I’ll ever love that our divorce was a mistake.

Eloise is from a wealthy French family and about to marry the man her parents have always wanted for their eldest daughter. I’m a working-class boy from Ohio and a key defenseman for the Seattle Rogues hockey team.

On paper, our love shouldn’t work, and in reality, fate dealt our marriage a difficult hand.

With zero contact from her for years, I all but gave up on winning Eloise back until, one day, I find out that she’s remarrying, and the next day, I’m boarding a plane to France.

All I have from her sister is a zip code and the time when I’ll lose my girl forever. But I have to try. I know she still loves me, and even if we can never have children, living our lives apart will be the worst kind of loneliness.

From the day we met during our freshman year of college, I’ve been her American bad boy with a dirty mouth in bed and dimples that make her knees go weak.

All I need to do is stop the wedding, bring her back to Seattle, and hope that she’ll give me a second chance after we lost our way the first time around.

And I’ll do anything to make that happen.

✨ About the Book ✨
In a single, devastating moment, I lost everyone I loved.

Now I'm in London, living with my sort-of-uncle Dylan.

And the only thing we have in common is loss.

This new life isn't a life. It's unbearable.

Except--there's someone else here.

A young man.

He can't be real. Can he?

He's funny, cool, infuriating...and he understands me in a way no one else does.

But only I can see him.

Before I know it, he's all I can think about. All I can dream about.

I just wish I could touch him.

And I wish he could touch me.

Am I falling in love...with a ghost?
