Mag-log inTwo billionaire brothers. One irresistible challenge. The Onyx brothers are used to getting anything, and anyone they want. And their favourite way of passing away time is playing a twisted game. A dangerous twisted game where they choose a woman, seduce her with luxury and charm, and see which brother she falls for first. But Mia isn’t like the others. What begins as a game becomes an obsession and slowly turns into something terrifyingly real. And for the first time in their lives, the brothers aren’t just trying to win a game. They’re losing themselves to a woman who might have awakened something in them and might just be too difficult to play. And Mia? She’s ready to prove she’s nobody’s prize and her heart is not out to be played.

“Let me get this straight. You’ll give me five thousand dollars to pose for some pictures and all because you like my wavy hair and weird eyes?” Mia asked the two hot guys in front of her.
“No,” one of them said. “Not weird eyes. Lovely. I can’t even tell what color they are.”
“They’re gray and not that enchanting.”
“They’re not just gray,” he countered. “There’s some gold and a few hints of blue.”
Oh brother. Where is this going?
She shielded her eyes to get a better look at the gorgeous pair standing in front of her.
The sun battered down on her caramel skin and made the beach so bright it was almost blinding when she stared in certain areas. According to the news, this was the hottest Miami summer of the year.
Temperatures had remained in the hundreds. Regardless, she had gathered all eight of her books, slung them in her crappy car, and drove down to South Beach.
As anyone would assume the place was packed with women dressed in the tiniest bikinis and men draped in muscle. Still not taking a hint that South Beach wasn’t a great study zone, she propped herself under a rented umbrella with a blanket.
A pitcher of her special smoothie sat on her right. In her lap rested an opened book that would prepare her for her first semester of law school in the fall.
But then, two gods with vanilla skin wrapped in muscle and oozing sexual yumminess stood directly in front of her, and now she no longer wanted to read six hundred pages on the history of American Law. Now she yearned to slip her fingers against their skin and find out if they were as solid as they seemed.
“Just a picture?” She tossed them a skeptical glance.
“You’re a unique beauty,” The blond one said. “What are you mixed with?”
“How do you know I’m mixed?”
“Because there isn’t one race all over this world that owns your type of beauty. We all have a sexy quality and one we don’t prefer. Every race has some DNA strain that they’d love to get rid of and trade with another. But your face, eyes, hair, and skin color are exquisite, almost this perfect blend of everything.”
She gulped. “Um. . .I’m not interested in having my picture taken, and my mother was Puerto Rican and my dad Irish so let’s calm down with all the compliments. It’s really not that special of a blend.”
“Please, it won’t take longer than a half hour at the most.” He tapped his finger on the end of a camera that held more buttons and switches than I’d seen.
Clearly the man saw picture taking as way more serious than the average person, but that didn’t mean she would star in his images, especially since she didn’t know him.
The other guy with the brown wavy hair never said anything, but he didn’t have to. It might have stopped the sex radiating from him.
Dear God, why was she being tempted today? She was trying to be a good girl this summer.
And these men were distractions. They were eye candy, chiseled physiques in those small European cut bathing suits, full lips, and high, yet masculine cheekbones.
However, they did have their differences. Where one’s hair was long and blond, the others laid low in brown waves. Where the blond stared back at me with the bluest eyes, the other gazed with sparkling green ones.
“Just give us an hour of your time. Nothing else,” the blonde said.
One can only dream. Get rid of them and get back to work.
“I don’t know if you haven’t noticed, but I’m pretty busy.” She gestured to all of the books scattered around her legs as well as the small pile near her feet.
“What are you reading?” The blond bent over and grabbed the exact one she held.
“Excuse me?” She reached for it surprised by his bold act.
He kept it away from her and studied the cover. “This has to be boring.”
“It is.” She rolled her eyes. “Give me my book back.”
“If it’s boring and you know this, then why are you reading it?” He handed it back to her.
“Because the University of Miami law school suggested these books for their first year students.” She shrugged. “I like to be prepared before a semester starts.”
“It’s summertime.
“I’m aware of that.”
“You need to be saved.”
She sighed. “Perhaps, I need to be saved from you, not by you.”
“No way. That would just be wrong.” He chuckled.
“Let me introduce you to your saviors, this is my brother Jaxon next to me and my name’s Rhett.” He extended his hand for her to shake.
She didn’t take it. “I really need to get back to reading. Thanks guys, but I’m not interested.”
Mr. Brown waves and green eyes prowled her way and sat down right next to her. His earthy cologne filled the air in just a perfect way.
Again, he continued to not speak, yet his bathing suit that formed around his thick thighs and impressive. . .crotch said more than his lips could have.
_"Concentrate"._ She scolded herself in her head.
This was what Dad said would happen. She would go early to Miami, get caught up in parties all summer, and be unprepared for school.
“Nice to meet both of you, but I’m busy. You two are good-looking and should have no problem convincing another lucky woman to spend an hour, taking pictures with you.” She opened the book back to the page she was on.
“But I am not that lucky woman. I am the unlucky one that has a shitload of pages to read. So have a good day. See you later. Bye. Peace. Adios. A riva derchi and all that good stuff.”
The guys exchanged glances and laughed.
Rhett sat down on her other side and raked his fingers through those blonde strands.
“How do you think you’re going to get rid of us?”
She tensed and wasn’t sure she enjoyed being between them after he made a comment like that.
“Well, there’s a number of ways I can get rid of you. Have you ever experienced a lightening pain to your balls? My brother told me it hurt when I used my taser on him.”
Rhett shielded his groin with his hands. “Why would you do that to your poor brother?”
“Because he was doing something and I asked him to stop, but he wouldn’t.”
“And you just happened to have a taser around?”
“I like to keep weapons around me just in case the male species is readying itself to attack or aggravate me.”
Rhett chuckled. “I like you more and more.”
“Nice meeting you, Rhett, but your time is up. The point of my taser story is that if I’ll burn my own brother’s testicles, then I’ll have no problem searing yours.” She returned to reading.
He raised his hand in the air, got up, and stood.
“What do you think, brother? We’ve been searching all day. Either I didn’t like the woman or you didn’t. We both agree on this one, but she’s more violent than I’m used to—”
More violent than he’s used too? Alrighty.
She waved her hand. “Excuse me. Feel free to finish this conversation somewhere else.”
Rhett ignored me. “Maybe it’s a no-go for this part of the beach. Let’s go up north.”
Whatever. Just leave.
She was tired of these hot strangers disrupting her day until the other guy spoke startling her.
XavierThe storm must’ve come out of nowhere, tossing the boat like a toy. I saw no tattered sails or screaming men, but the ocean had tired from playing with the vessel and was now sending it to its end. The sky grayed above us, streaking with more lightning that I’d ever seen. There was a terrifying darkness to the water. Anything could’ve lurked under us—sea monsters, other men, sharks. We had to get to land before the oncoming storm and anything else developed. Struggling, she swam for both of us dragging me along. I tried to loosen from her, but she kept her hold as if my dying could kill her too.“Let go of me.” I shoved hard, breaking her hold. “I’ll swim for the both of us.”I hooked my hand on her life jacket and kicked my legs forward. We rushed through the water had a faster pace. She breathed hard around me. I bet her heart was drumming in her chest.Mine sure had been pumping out a battle tune, trying to keep me alive. The only sounds were our breathing within the threa
XavierIn my dream, the door creaked loudly as I stepped inside the cell. Small lights hung above and were spaced far apart here. It was barely enough of a glow to see anything in the prison. The cells had solid steel doors and iron bars where prisoners could look out from the average eye level. Where am I? Who locked me up?I raced past the cells. Dark, steel hallways snaked back and forth. There were no guards around or security cameras. All the prisoners slept, curled into corners or flat on their backs. There’s an exit.A white door stood in front of me. Odd among the black steel of the prison. It could’ve been a trap, but I didn’t care. I just didn’t want to go back in any of those cells. I didn’t remember being in them, but I’d been in enough jails around the world to not enjoy them.Get the hell out of here.In a few heartbeats, I unlocked the door and it creaked open. Sunlight shined into the prison’s darkness. A beach appeared before me. Brilliant colors layered the sky as
NyxThe others didn’t catch my eye like the woman. Maybe it was because she looked so badass. Perhaps, it was because I wasn’t used to seeing many women ready to stand against dangerous men. Therefore, I held on to any perceived role model I could find.“She’s going to win, Papa.”He smiled. “She certainly will last longer than most of them.”I crunched on more popcorn. “You don’t think she’ll win?”“I’m not certain. But, never mind. I want you to look at the last man.” He pointed to a younger Xavier, probably just turned eighteen or nineteen, but he could’ve been no older.He wore boots, black pants, and strips of armor over his chest that held knives. Even so small then, muscle carved cuts around every inch of his arms. He looked like my dolls—waxy, bulgy soldiers that gripped kastane swords in their huge hands. His gaze didn’t have the sharpened edge that it held now. Back then, they held fear—pure unadulterated fear. Now that I thought of it, that arena could’ve been the place th
Xavier She was too skilled which meant she was in my community. I didn’t know how much she knew about me, but she had to die.“Do you have someone that would want your safe return?” she asked. “And give me a big reward.”“Yes, but that’s not why you’ve kidnapped me. Jax will give you more than enough money. You kept me because you think I have secrets that can give you power.”She continued to crouch on the night stand and study me. “Do you?”“What do you think?”“You’re Hundun. You’re the man of many disguises. No one knows what you really look like.”“That secret right there.” I frowned. “Is why I will have to kill you.”“Then, why tell me your name was Hundun?”“Because I’d already decided to kill you when I told you.” I reached over slowly to touch her face. She grabbed my wrist. I barely saw her hand move and then my fingers were clamped in her. A hard hold.A grip like a steel vise. Fast, too. Possibly quicker than me. This should be interesting. And then she stuck another da
Jax“Yes.” Xavier’s hands remained to the sides as he fisted them. “Yes. Unfortunately, I said that.”“Marriage? Is this another game?”“No. I can’t think of a game where your marrying the love of my life would be fun.”Jax backed away and ran his fingers through his hair. Anxiety hit him. He neede
JaxThe next day, the storm hadn’t come yet but it was on its way. The clouds darkened in the sky and blocked out the sun. Cold wind whipped the trees back and forth, dragging branches across the island and dropping them into the surrounding waters.The scent of oncoming rain clung to the air. Off
Mia's diary He leaned away from me and pierced me with his gaze. “I wasn’t going to tell you any of that until I knew you were mine. With a confession like that, you don’t get to change your mind with me anymore.”I didn’t know what to say. I would always have a choice of who I loved. That wasn’t
XavierHe wasn’t Xavier. He wasn’t Chills. He was a stranger even to himself. A figment. An imposter. A ghost. Sometimes a killer. Other times a spy. But always a monster.Had he really loved Mia so long ago, he would’ve told her to run. But in the end, he loved himself more and didn’t want to be
