Lucius Junius Brutus

“I’m done with you, Aurora Fernandez—if that’s even your name.” Mia’s voice trembled with rage as she turned for the door. “You’ll regret refusing me,” Aurora snapped behind her. Mia's hand touched the knob—just as it turned on its own. The door creaked open. Her heart dropped. Standing in the doorway was a face she never wanted to see again. Lucius Lovato. The cold, merciless CEO of the department store where she'd once worked. His eyes swept over her with visible disdain. “Who is this little thing, Eva?” he asked, his voice hoarse and biting. And just like that, Mia knew—she was trapped again. Wrongfully accused. Publicly humiliated. Betrayed by the only man she ever loved. Mia Simpson thought she'd hit rock bottom. Then came the offer—escape prison and start over, under one terrifying condition: seduce and marry Lucius Lovato, the mafia heir with a heart of ice and a soul no one dares touch. But Mia isn’t the fragile girl the world thinks she is. She agrees to the deal—on her own terms. Behind her innocent eyes burns a thirst for revenge, and the deeper she steps into the dark world of power, blood, and secrets, the more dangerous she becomes. Lucius, however, is not a man easily fooled. Every attempt to break him only draws him closer. And every secret Mia hides? He already suspects. As enemies close in and her hidden past begins to unravel, Mia discovers a horrifying truth—she is not just a girl caught in the middle of a mafia war. She is the legacy of something much greater… and much more feared. He was her mission. She was his undoing. But in the underworld, love might just be the most dangerous weapon of all.

She thought she was meeting a stranger. Instead, she met the devil dressed in designer. When Claire Smith, a rising fashion designer and secret romance writer, agrees to a blind date in Las Vegas, the last thing she expects is to fall for a man with more secrets than charm. But when the blindfold comes off, she’s staring into the eyes of a very charming man who introduced himself as Don Carlos but Little Does she know that Don Carlos is just a Facade to hide his true identity as Lucius Sherwood, the enigmatic CEO of Sherwood Fashion, the most powerful fashion empire in Vegas… and the man whose scandals are whispered about behind every velvet curtain in Sin City. Lucius is trying to outrun the consequences of his past, a past that includes a string of broken hearts, dirty money, and ties to a drug empire that could burn everything Claire holds dear. Now caught in a web of lust, lies, and lethal secrets, Claire must choose: walk away from the most dangerous man she’s ever met… or risk everything for a love that could destroy them both. Karma, they say is a bitch…
