Blurb: Ivory has been working diligently at her new job for six months, especially since she lives in the city where rent is expensive and people rotate in and out like a revolving door. She’s been stressed since the day she moved in, and the only thing that’s been keeping her semi-sane is the plethora of sensual dreams she’s been having. They’re so real, it’s almost as if someone’s in the room with her at night. Only there is someone, he just can’t be seen. Reslan has been haunting her apartment for decades now, and despite the number of tenants he’s seen come and go, Ivory’s caught his interest. And he doesn’t intend on letting go.

Blurb: Capable and intelligent, Collins O’Brien was the obedient, favorite daughter of the deceased Irish mobster. Now, she’s just a woman trying to survive medical school, while hiding her weekly Saturday night adventures. After all, she’s not as perfect as she appears.

When the notorious Capo of the Bruno family, sends a marriage contract for her on the eve of her sister revealing The Games, a trio of deadly trials that determine the second-in-command of her family’s clan, she has to think fast. With no other choice, she claims to be engaged already to Hayes Monticello, her sister’s best friend.

Arrogant, hot and possessive, Hayes, the bane of her existence, has been her bodyguard since she was a kid—and is completely off limits. But right now, he’s her only hope.

Together, they agree to a tenuous deal—he’ll pretend to be the perfect fiancé, if she’ll help him win the Games. Once he’s Second, he can stop the contract and their relationship will end.

But when childish irritation gives way to forbidden passion, will the engagement remain fake? Or will their love be drowned by the incoming storm of deception and betrayal as Hayes’ dark past comes to light. And endangers them both.
