Perfectly Trained:

The words slipped out before she could stop them. Vincent's eyes widened slightly, then he smiled. The type of smile that said he'd been waiting for her to realize what they both already knew.

"Is that so?"

"Don't let it go to your head."

"Too late for that." He pulled her closer, kissing her hard and desperate. Like a man who'd just realized how close he'd come to losing something precious.

When they broke apart, both breathing hard, Vincent's expression had gone cold and calculating. "Erikson made a mistake sending killers into my home. My sanctuary."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to remind him why people fear me." Vincent moved to a hidden panel in his wall, revealing an arsenal that made Raven's professional heart sing. "And you're going to help me do it."

He handed her a rifle she recognized. Military grade, perfect balance, it was the type of weapon that could put a bullet through a dime at a thousand yards.

  • Daddy's Obsession (Filthy Daddies Collection)   Too Convincing

    Chapter 5:Too Convincing:"It makes me someone who understands that the world isn't divided into good people and bad people. It's more complicated than that." He stood up, gesturing for her to follow. "Come on. I want to show you something."They left the mansion in one of his cars, Nathaniel driving himself rather than using a chauffeur. Iris watched the city pass by, trying to figure out his angle. Where was he taking her? What was he trying to prove?They stopped in a part of town Iris knew well. The sort of neighborhood where her newspaper's crime reporters spent most of their time. High poverty, high crime, the type of place politicians promised to fix but never did.Nathaniel led her into a community center that looked new and well-maintained. Inside, children were participating in after-school programs. Tutoring, art classes, sports. All supervised by adults who looked like they actually cared."This is one of six centers I fund in neighborhoods like this," Nathaniel said, wat

  • Daddy's Obsession (Filthy Daddies Collection)   Breakfast With The Enemy

    Chapter 4:Breakfast With The Enemy:The first day of Iris's "education" started with breakfast in Nathaniel's private dining room. It was not the grand formal space where he'd hosted his party, but a smaller, more intimate room with windows overlooking his gardens.He was already seated when she arrived, reading the morning paper with a cup of coffee. He looked different without the formal suit. Still expensive, dark slacks and a white button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, but more relaxed. Hr look more human."Good morning," he said, looking up from his paper. "I hope you slept better last night.""I was exhausted enough that the kidnapping didn't matter much." Iris sat down across from him, noting the breakfast already laid out. Fresh fruit, pastries, eggs cooked exactly how she liked them. "How did you know I prefer my eggs scrambled?""I know a lot about you, Miss Morgan. What you eat, where you shop, your favorite coffee order. You've been investigating me for months. Di

  • Daddy's Obsession (Filthy Daddies Collection)   The Deal With The Devil

    Chapter 3 The Deal With The Devil: Morning came with a soft knock on the door. A woman in a housekeeper's uniform entered carrying a breakfast tray, flanked by one of the large security guards from last night. "Mr. Cross requests your presence in his study in one hour," the woman said, setting the tray on a table by the window. "He has provided appropriate clothing for you." She gestured to the closet, where several outfits now hung that definitely weren't there last night. All in Iris's size. All expensive designer pieces. After the woman left and the door locked again, Iris examined the clothes. Everything fits perfectly. Which meant Nathaniel Cross had known her exact measurements. Had probably known them before she even arrived at his party. The realization made her skin crawl. How long had he been watching her? How much did he know? She ate the breakfast because she needed the energy, then showered in a bathroom stocked with luxury products. When she finally dressed in the

  • Daddy's Obsession (Filthy Daddies Collection)   Locked In With the Devil

    Chapter 2: Locked In With the Devil: "I meant 1905," she said quickly. "Simple mistake." "Of course." His smile didn't reach his eyes. "Easy to confuse dates when you're discussing pieces you've supposedly owned for years." The conversation continued, but Iris knew she'd made a mistake. A small one, barely noticeable to anyone else. But Nathaniel Cross had caught it. And from the way he was looking at her now, he knew something was wrong. She needed to get out of there. Regroup. Figure out how badly she'd blown her cover. "If you'll excuse me," she said, setting down her champagne glass. "I need to powder my nose." "Of course. The restroom is down the hall, second door on the right." Nathaniel's smile was pleasant, but there was something predatory underneath. "Don't get lost. This house can be confusing for first-time visitors." Iris made her way through the crowd, her heart hammering. She'd screwed up. After three months of preparation, she'd made a stupid mistake because a

  • Daddy's Obsession (Filthy Daddies Collection)   Captive Daddy Book 6: Into The Lion's Den

    Book 6: Captive Daddy Intro: When journalist Iris Morgan went undercover to expose billionaire Nathaniel Cross's criminal empire, she never expected to get caught. She definitely never expected him to decide she was worth keeping. Chapter 1: Into The Lion's Den The party was everything Iris had expected from a man like Nathaniel Cross. Expensive champagne flowing like water, crystal chandeliers throwing light across marble floors, and people who wore their wealth like armor. Everyone here had money, power, or both. And they were all trying to impress the man who stood at the center of it all. Nathaniel Cross himself. Iris had spent three months preparing for this moment. Three months building a fake identity as Elena Hart, socialite and art collector. Three months learning how to move in these circles, how to talk like them, how to make them believe she belonged. All so she could get close enough to the most dangerous man in Aurelia to bring him down. Her editor at the T

  • Daddy's Obsession (Filthy Daddies Collection)   Possession

    Chapter 9 Possession: The drive back to Vincent's penthouse felt endless. Raven was hyper-aware of everything. The way Vincent's hand rested on her thigh, warm and possessive. The way his jaw clenched when she shifted closer to him. The tension that had nothing to do with the killing they'd just done and everything to do with what was about to happen next. They barely made it through the front door before Vincent had her pressed against the wall, his mouth on hers, kissing her with a hunger that matched her own. His hands were everywhere, possessive and demanding, claiming territory that was already his. "I've wanted to do this since you saved my life," he said against her lips. "Since I watched you take down those assassins without hesitation." "Then stop talking and take what's yours," Raven said, pulling him closer. Vincent growled something approving and lifted her, her legs wrapping around his waist automatically. He carried her through the penthouse, still kissing her, unt
