Thanks to my reckless roommate, I'm about two skips away from being homeless. Temp jobs aren't paying the bills, and now I have to cancel the scuba diving trip, which I can no longer afford.

In fact, when he hears I'm having money problems, he comes up with a way we can help each other.

There were always whispers about my roommate at Hillcrest Academy. The wealthiest of the wealthy sent their kids to our boarding school, and Brooke Bennett had been at the top, though I never quite knew why. She was fun and outgoing, but she kept quiet about her family. The only things she showed me were photographs of her brothers. I became fascinated with her second-oldest brother. Kai Bennett. Smoldering. Hypnotic. Alluring. Kai had eyes that pulled me in and a face that haunted my dreams.

My mate called me weak and walked away. Annie I try not to think about mating the wild wolf from the Last Pack. It happened. He left. The witch sorted me out and life kept going.

The night he savagely claimed my innocence, I didn't expect him to return as my archenemy, claiming my freedom… and the baby he didn't know we had. I thought we were meant for each other, but "we" were taboo. Because he's my brother's best friend and the heir of our merciless rival. A walking, talking Greek god… the first and only man who ever tasted me. Then tragedy struck and unleashed the beast in him. He returns years later as a ruthless monster, hellbent on revenge. And I'm determined to keep my most precious secret from him: Our sweet baby girl.

I was the first to ever taste her, and I will wipe out any other man who touches her or my unborn heir. I'm the ruthless heir of New York's most powerful Mafia Don.

Instead, she landed in the arms of the most dangerous mafia beast out there… me.

Jace Stone was supposed to be one night—something wild and necessary. But I should've known better. He's a billionaire heart surgeon. A man women chase. The kind who never commits, never calls, and never stays. And yet...he stayed. He broke all his rules. Let me into his world. Held my son in his arms like he belonged there. And when I walked away? It wasn't because I stopped loving him. It was because someone made sure I couldn't afford to.

My husband is cruel, ruthless, and despicable. I hate him with every fiber of my being. The only reason I haven't killed him or tried to run away is because of the promise I made. I sold myself to save someone I loved...and this is the price I have to pay. I was sitting alone in a bar when the most handsome man walked inside. Striking blue eyes, cheekbones as sharp as glass, and a muscular body fit for a war. He was gorgeous. I couldn't take my eyes off him. When he bought me a drink, I didn't say no. I'd been unfulfilled for so long, and I wanted a real man for the night.

I care about him, and I know he cares about me. Can I earn his forgiveness? Can I earn his trust? But even if I do, will he shoot me anyway?

When I showed her heaven on earth, savagely claiming every inch of her sinful body, she had no idea who I really am—NYC's ruthless Mafia Don, feared by all. Believing she was a mole, I kidnapped her to face my fury. But at half my age, she's a feisty little spitfire with a mouth too smart for a 'dom' like me. The more she defied me, the more I wanted to bend her over my knee. So I punished her and taught her how to submit to my every command, making her beg for more.
