MORNING REVELATIONS~ LAUREN'S POV ~The insistent buzzing of my phone pulled me from the deepest, most peaceful sleep I had had in months. I poked around for the device, squinting at the bright screen. Multiple missed calls from Sophia, and a string of text messages that made me smile with dark satisfaction.‘Vanessa (Storm Publishing): OMG Lauren, did you see the news? Patrick and Rosette were in a terrible car accident last night. They're both in the hospital!’Perfect timing. I stretched lazily in bed, feeling more rested than I had in weeks. Funny how well you could sleep when justice finally caught up with people who deserved it.My phone rang again….Sophia's name flashed across the screen."Morning," I answered, unable to keep the happiness out of my voice."Lauren! Thank God you picked up. Have you seen the news?" Sophia's voice was breathless with panic and excitement."Just saw Vanessa's text. What happened?" I kept my tone properly concerned, though internally I was practi

BLOOD AND BROTHERHOOD"Your old man's getting restless about you playing house with another family's princess."~ ALEXANDRO'S POV ~Mario's words cut through the silence of the Maserati as we sped through Miami's industrial district. His fingers drummed against the leather seat, a nervous habit he had developed whenever family responsibilities weighed on his mind."The Alejandro patriarch wants his heir to settle down?" I asked, unable to keep the amusement out of my voice. "This from the man who's bedded half of South Beach and never met a commitment he couldn't break?""Funny." Mario's tone was dry as desert sand. "My father thinks it's time I take over the family name and business. Apparently, being your right hand isn't a suitable career path for a Sicilian prince."I glanced at him, noting the tension in his shoulders. "And what do you think?""I think my father can kiss my ass." He lit a cigarette, the flame illuminating his sharp features. "But he's got a point about you, herm

THE DEVIL'S INVITATION"You're being disrespectful, ignoring me like this. Naughty girls need to be taught lessons."~ LAUREN'S POV ~The text message from Viktor made my skin crawl as I hurried back to my desk, my mind still reeling from the news alerts about the warehouse explosion. Three people dead. Alexandro at the scene. My world spinning out of control.I started gathering my things with shaking hands, shoving papers into my bag without caring about organization. I had to get out of here. Had to find Alexandro. Had to make sure he was okay."Lauren, what's wrong?" Vanessa appeared beside my desk, her voice filled with concern. "You look like you're about to be sick.""I can't talk right now," I managed to get out, my throat tight with panic. "I just... I have to go."Before Vanessa could respond, Lilac's sharp voice cut through the office noise like a blade."Lauren McQueen!" She stood in the doorway of her temporary office, hands on her hips, looking like a queen surveying he

BETRAYAL RUNS DEEPER"What you get for getting involved with a crazy rich guy like Alexandro."~ LAUREN'S POV ~"Why the hell are you busy playing with your bodyguards when we've all been waiting here like idiots?"Lilac's shrill voice cut through the hospital lobby like nails on a chalkboard, her designer heels clicking impatiently against the polished floor as I approached with Antonio and Luca flanking me.The entire team was clustered near the reception desk, their faces ranging from annoyed to openly hostile. Lilac stood at the center like a queen holding court, her perfectly styled hair and crisp blazer screaming authority she'd never earned."We could have been done with this visit and back to our actual lives by now," she continued, her voice dripping with condescension.Vanessa rolled her eyes so hard I was surprised they didn't fall out of her head. "Oh please, Lilac. She's literally one minute late."But I wasn't really listening to their complaints. My attention was scat

FEDERAL GAMES AND BROKEN RULES "It's a fine day to kill somebody." ~ ALEXANDRO'S POV ~ {One Hour Earlier} The afternoon sun beat down mercilessly as Mario and I approached the hospital entrance, my mind focused entirely on getting to Lauren. Viktor's threatening phone call still echoed in my head, and every second away from her felt like a lifetime. Then I saw them. Federal agents appeared from unmarked vehicles like predators circling wounded prey, their movements blended and deliberate. The media vultures weren't far behind….news vans screeching to a halt, reporters spilling out with cameras and microphones ready to feast on whatever drama was about to unfold. "M****a," I muttered under my breath, instinctively raising my hand to shield my face from the camera flashes that had already started popping like fireworks. Mario immediately stepped in front of me, his charging frame blocking the worst of the photographers' assault. "Back the fuck up!" he barked, his voice carryi
