As he stepped into the room, Renae was struck by an overwhelming rush of emotions. Her heart beat so fast she thought it might burst from her chest, and she couldn't help but feel a shiver run down her spine. She had accepted the job at Le Kissr to pay off her debts, but she never expected her first client to be so breathtakingly handsome. This man, with his broad shoulders and piercing eyes, was more than just a client. He was her destiny, the one she had been waiting for. Even his peachy skin seemed to glow in the dim light of the room, and Renae couldn't help but feel a surge of desire that coursed through her body. From the moment they met, Renae found herself unable to sleep, consumed by the thought of this man. And as the weeks went by, she realized that he too felt the same way. He was drawn to her, unable to resist the pull of her beauty and spirit. It was only when Renae's ex-partner appeared, threatening to tear them apart, that this man finally took the leap of faith. He wrapped his strong arms around her, holding her close, and whispered words of love and devotion that left Renae breathless. At that moment, Renae knew that they were meant to be together.

She didn’t expect to find herself entangled with someone like him. It was supposed to be a day like any other, but a turn of events changed everything. She was made to live with someone she didn’t like. He was handsome and imposing. His desire for her was unmistakable. He was willing to do anything to have her his way, but he was a brute. And worst of all, she didn’t know if she could ever soften his heart… He didn’t think she had it in her. She was nothing more than a delicate young woman. Much younger than him, in fact. He couldn’t have eyes for her – not in the beginning anyway. But a change of events and scenery forced them to coexist, and little by little, he learned she was different. She had a resolve and determination within her heart he couldn’t control. And thus it wasn’t long until he was the one wrapped around her finger. This is a dark mafia romance bundle with a hint of steamy and first time stuff in it. Read it at your own risk. HEA included and characters are consenting adults.
