Clara Bennett should have stayed in her car. Instead, she stepped into the rain to help a stranger bleeding in the road. His first request was simple. “No police.” Damian Wolfe was everything she should have avoided—dangerous, possessive, and far too accustomed to getting his way. Yet when her family betrayed her and her old life fell apart, he was the man who came for her. Marrying him was supposed to give her somewhere safe to stand. She never expected him to remember how she liked her coffee. To warm her cold feet in his hands. To build a home with room for her dreams, even when he feared those dreams would take her away. Clara knew how to survive without love. Learning to recognize it might cost her the one man she couldn’t bear to lose.

My Maid’s Daughter Gave Me a Christmas Gift. Everyone in Chicago knew better than to enter Gabriel Marchetti’s private study without permission. Then his maid’s four-year-old daughter walked past his armed guards with a crooked Santa hat and a little red box. “I have a Christmas gift for you, mister. Please don’t be sad anymore.” Gabriel hadn’t laughed in years. Maisie nearly changed that. Then he opened her present. Inside was a piece of the blue scarf his brother had been wearing when he vanished four years ago. Gabriel had believed Luca betrayed their family. But a frightened mother, a hidden letter, and a child’s innocent gift are about to force him to question the people he trusted most. Somebody knows why his brother disappeared. And that somebody has been working in his house for three years.

A sniper's bullet took my ability to walk. For two years, I made everyone in my mansion pay for what I couldn't get back. Then Emma Carter arrived. She needed a paycheck, not my approval. She cleaned through my temper, refused to follow my worst orders, and stayed when pain left me unable to hide how badly I needed help. I started listening for her footsteps. Watching the clock. Finding excuses to keep her in the room. Then one night, I woke with someone beside me. My hand reached for the gun beneath my pillow—until I saw my maid asleep in my bed. Everyone else knew better than to get that close. Emma was becoming the one person I couldn't bear to send away.

Five years ago, Felix broke my heart and disappeared without a goodbye. Now he’s back, and the reckless boy I loved is the heir to the crime empire that pays my wages. His father hired me to protect him. Felix wants me to love him again. I know his tricks: the pretty smiles, the desperate promises, the danger he puts himself in just to make me come running. I should know better than to fall for him twice. But in the Sterling family, his father controls my future, his brother depends on me, and Felix still knows exactly where I’m weakest. Walking away would be easier if I’d ever stopped wanting him.

One slap silenced an entire mansion. One scar brought Chicago's most feared mafia boss to his knees. When Elena Brooks is falsely accused of stealing a $250,000 emerald ring, she refuses to bow to the powerful Romano family. Instead, she slaps Vincent Romano in front of forty stunned guests. But when Vincent notices the burn scar on her wrist, everything changes. Fifteen years ago, a mysterious twelve-year-old girl saved his life during a devastating warehouse fire. He was told she died. Now she's standing in his mansion—and she believes his family murdered her father. Elena came looking for justice, not love. Vincent is determined to uncover the truth, even if it means destroying the empire he inherited. As buried secrets surface, deadly betrayals emerge, and forbidden feelings grow, one question threatens to tear them apart: Can a woman fall in love with the man whose family destroyed hers?

I was one missed paycheck away from losing my apartment when I told Brooklyn’s most feared man to step away from his own son. Three-year-old Leo Moretti had shattered a plate, bitten a bodyguard, and screamed until the restaurant fell silent. But when I sat on the floor with warm milk and let him choose, he reached for my hand. “Don’t go.” His father, Rico, could buy almost anything. Naturally, he thought he could buy my tomorrow. I told him no. Then I agreed to two hours in his house—with conditions. I expected a difficult child and an impossible employer. Instead, I found a little boy terrified of another goodbye, and a dangerous man who had mistaken control for protection. Leo trusted me first. His father would have to learn how. Because I was beginning to want more than afternoons in their house—and wanting Rico didn’t mean I could afford to trust him.
