LOGINRaina Cole doesn’t believe in love not after being left at the altar by the man she thought she’d spend forever with. So when her ex invites her to his wedding, she does what any humiliated woman with money and pride would do; she hires the most dangerous man she’s ever met to play her perfect boyfriend. Gorgeous enough to make her ex choke on regret. Aiden Cross is exactly that man. Sinful. Silent. Addictive. Only he isn’t what he seems He’s not a date-for-hire. He’s an assassin sent to end her life. But the closer he gets, the harder it becomes to remember which side he’s on.
View MoreRaina Cole Goddamn, he drove me crazy. He played the part well. Too well I wasn’t here for closure. I was here to smile so sweetly that it burned Shawn alive inside. But even now, I could still feel where his fingers had been, a phantom warmth that refused to fade. My parents adored him already. Shawn sat across from me, jaw tight, fork unmoving. I could feel the jealousy bleeding off him. Good. My sister just stared, disbelief flickering behind her fake smile like she couldn’t believe I’d actually brought someone… perfect. “Raina, oh my gosh, I love him,” my mom whispered as soon as he left. My dad joined in. “How long have you two been together?” My brain blanked. Shit. Ken and I hadn’t talked about that. “Uh… a year now,” I lied. I smiled, hoping they couldn’t tell. I made a mental note to get my story straight with Ken. “A year?” my mother gasped. “And you never told us!” I gave a shy laugh. “It happened fast.” Ken came back and took his seat b

Aiden Cross The Cole estate could feed a small country. Marble driveways. The mansion looked exactly like I expected, expensive, cold, and screaming for attention. Typical rich-people setup Raina was quiet beside me. I’d spent a few hours with her on the jet, and I’d already learned her tell. The way she bit her cheek when she was nervous. I caught myself. This wasn’t the kind of information I was supposed to be getting out of her but I couldn’t help but notice “You always bring fake boyfriends home, or am I special?” Her head snapped toward me. “Behave. That’s my mom.” She pointed to the entrance and I looked through the tinted windows of the car. I stepped out first, adjusted my shirt, and helped her down. Cameras flashed from somewhere in the distance. Not paparazzi — private security lenses. Her mom’s smile widened when she saw Raina, and she rushed to hug her. “Oh my baby, welcome. You have no idea how happy you’ve made your mothe
Raina Cole Wait, you’re going to the wedding?” Cassie’s voice shot up an octave, loud enough to make my head throb. “I don’t have much of a choice,” I muttered, closing the last document on my laptop. Katrina's expression dropped to a mix of horror and pity. “You’re walking into your sister’s wedding to your ex? Alone? After everything that happened? Cassie crossed her arms. “That’s prime humiliation.” I lifted my chin. “Who said I’m going alone? I’m going to show what he lost.” They both froze, identical expressions of shock spreading across their faces. “You’re joking,” Cassie said. I looked down at my coffee, tracing the rim. “It’s… complicated.” Cassie’s eyes narrowed. “Raina.” I sighed. “Fine. I might’ve hired someone.” Katrina blinked. “Like a date?” “Like a fake boyfriend,” I corrected. Cassie shrieked. “You did not!” Katrina leaned so close to her camera that all I saw was her forehead. “Oh my God, is it that dancer from the club?” “Who?” I
Aiden Brown The glass was almost at her lips. Two drops of poison, colourless, odorless and undetectable. One sip of it and two hours later, she’d end up dead. That was the plan Three days of watching her. Three days of memorizing her face, her routines, her rotation. By the time she walked into that club, I already knew her schedule down to the minute. When I walked in, she looked nothing like what I’d expected or what had been described to me. She wasn’t some smug billionaire flashing cash. Her legs kept shaking, and she kept looking at the door like she’d rather be anywhere else. Just as she was about to press the drink to her lips, my handler, Silas, spoke to me through my AirPods to pause the mission I immediately took the glass from her and poured the contents over my chest, and she thought it was part of the act, not knowing she almost drank herself to her own death. Her whole body trembled when I touched her like she hadn’t been touched in years. I
Raina Cole “Didn’t think you’d actually call.” I don’t know what to expect after I pressed the call button. What I didn’t expect was for him to pick up on the very first ring, like he had been waiting on my call Hearing his voice again, so smooth and confident, shouldn't have hit me hard. But it did It was deep, calm, teasing and felt like he’d whispered it directly against my skin. “I—uh, hi,” I managed. I sounded breathless. Pathetic. I heard his deep chuckle over the phone. “Why do you sound nervous?” I ignored the question and went straight to why I called him. “I need a favor. Can I see you today if possible?" “Mmm.” His tone was lazy, and it made my nipples hard. “Miss me already? You need another dance or…..something more” His voice was so rich and velvety. All I could imagine as he spoke was him talking me through as he slipped inside of me. I shifted in my seat, furious at my skin for tingling just because he had spok
