If you had any ties to Marbella, it was impossible for you not to have heard the stories about Prince Elias and his debauchery. Every summer he arrived with his security detail and friends in tow and rented out a row of cottages near the water. Cottages that belonged to my family. Each of those summers, my parents sent me away - summer camp and later, boarding school. Anything to keep me away from the royals and their partying. I hadn't been home in years, but when I finally come back for the summer, I see that not much has changed. Like all the summers I'd been gone, Prince Elias is back, but this time with an incognito security detail and no friends. This time, there is no partying, no noise, no crowds. No reason at all to even think he was there. I'm given strict orders not to talk to him, not to even look in his direction, but he makes this an impossible task. I may be doing everything in my power to stay away from him, but there is no one in the world who can say no to the future King of France.

The Sinful King

When you grow up in the most feared mafia family, it's easy to identify the kind of men that are bad news. They're the ones with experience. The ones with secrets. The ones that exude sex just by saying your name. From the moment I laid eyes on Lorenzo, I knew he wasn't just bad news. He was the headline. But my head and my heart are at war. He's too mysterious, too gorgeous, too wild, and now, he wants me. I should run far away. So why am I racing toward him? I'm totally going to get burned. I know it. A man like Lorenzo won't leave me unscathed. He'll make ashes of me.

Because You're Mine

He was my older brother's best friend. He was never supposed to be mine. I thought we would get it out of our system and move on. One of us did. One of us left. Now he’s back, looking at me like he wants to devour me. And all those feelings I’d turned into anger are brewing into something else, something that terrifies me. He broke my heart last time. This time he'll obliterate it.

Darkness Before Dawn

Torn Hearts

Twisted Circles

Maverick Cruz and I started off as pen pals and became besties when we went to the same sports camp at age twelve. He rooted for me at my soccer games. I cheered for him at his hockey tournaments. Through heartbreaks, new relationships, and failed friendships, we knew we could always count on each other. That's why no one is more surprised--or panicked-- than I am when I start to develop different feelings for him. But Instead of telling him the truth, I agree to help him find a girlfriend. Someone who is not me. Someone who is so opposite of me that I have to make a list for the charade. The problem is, he wants to practice his dating skills with me. The corny pickup lines, the hand-holding, the door opening, the staring. Before this, I thought sharing a house with him was an excellent idea. Who wouldn't want to room with their best friend? Now, the close proximity is killing me. What's worse is that I can't stop looking at him like he's a Greek god, and he can't stop seeing me as his virginal little sister. Still, I push it aside, until one night, when he's lying beside me in bed and I'm the one who forgets the rules and crosses the line between friends and something more. It's a horrible idea. He's a player. I'm a virgin. Yet, I can't seem to stop myself. ﻿New item on my list: DO NOT FALL FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND.

Half Truths

My first mistake was not sending her away the minute she walked into my office. My second mistake was agreeing to represent her during her divorce. My third was not being able to resist her when she comes onto me. My fourth can NOT be falling in love with her. I don't care how beautiful, smart and caring she is. It doesn't matter how good she feels pressed up against me. She's my client. I'm her attorney. This needs to end before it gets any messier.
