Lonzo Hernández por fin aceptó mi propuesta de matrimonio. Me pidió que me arreglara preciosa porque, según él, tenía una sorpresa preparada. Cuando llegué, radiante, a la ceremonia… no había novio. Lonzo se volvió hacia mi hermanastra, Amarissa Jiménez, y le sonrió: —Dices que las bodas son tediosas. Hoy voy a mostrarte una que sí es divertida, ¿va? El maestro de ceremonias ―mi hermano Macerio Jiménez― alzó la voz: —¡La boda queda pausada! Mi amigo de la infancia, Guillermo Mendoza, soltó el globo de agua que tenía listo sobre mi cabeza y me empapó de pies a cabeza. Lonzo arqueó las cejas, burlón: —Alfreda, solo era una broma. ¿De veras creíste que me casaría contigo? Aquella “boda” no era más que una farsa para animar a la deprimida Amarissa. Yo callé; él insistió con una risita: —Si traes tantas ganas de casarte, elige a cualquiera de los invitados y cásate con él. Cuando aparecí del brazo de un verdadero novio… se les borró la sonrisa.

“Take your panties off.” He worked on his pants, letting them fall on his ankles. When I was too shocked to move, he growled at me, green eyes searing against mine. “Panties. Off. Now, Nirvana.” I did as he said, scrambling to remove my shorts and underwear. My lips went dry as I watched him enjoy stroking himself. “Open your mouth, suck me. Take me all in.” Lust fired up through my veins, and my clit ached for him. *** All her life, Nirvana Thorne thought she was just human, at least not until a mysterious guy rejected her for no reason. When she finally uncovers her family secrets, Knight reclaims her as his fated mate and forces her to dig deep into the unimaginable danger of the underworld to undo the curse. Fighting her attraction towards him is hard enough. Every time they get close, their chemistry sizzles, and the heat between them becomes irresistible. When the pack is under siege, she must learn to gain control of the newfound power within her while the alpha intends to show her where she belongs. *** All Knight Blackwell ever wanted was to run his pack while getting rich. What he didn’t need was a woman demanding his attention, let alone a human mate like Nirvana. So he rejects her. What he never sees coming is his mate possesses an ancient secret— she’s a creature bound in magic intertwined with an ancient dark prophecy and the key to something bigger than anything they’ve ever imagined. With his primal urges getting harder to resist and the powerful being wreaking havoc in his wake, Knight has to sate his dark cravings for his mate before they go to war that Nirvana might have to sacrifice a piece of herself.

Marco Regnante knows what it means to have led a hard life. Taken away from his family and sold to a cartel. Then forced to fend for himself and fight in an underground boxing ring before his teens, only to be thrown onto the road and left to die. He survived due to one reason alone: a group of boys saving his life. Nearly fifteen years later, adopted by the Regnante family, he has grown to be one hell of a man and the protege of the world's most ruthless Mafia Boss. Marco is a man for casual flings to sate his carnal desires, whereas his friends constantly attempt to set him up. Something which he finds irking because it's "Always flings. Never commitment."Now, throw into the mix, the 22-year-old Sofia Giordano, the Mafia daughter who was almost sold as a sex slave, and saved by the enemy, then thrust onto Marco as his responsibility; a direct order from The Boss. He is a man that leaves for work at 9 a.m and returns late at 11 p.m, and all he wants is peace and quiet to help him unwind for the day. But with Sofia around, he can wave peace goodbye, that girl dragging chaos with her wherever she walks. Something...which tests patient Marco's limitations--which happen to be wearing thin. After weeks and months of spending time together, they manage a routine and start to warm up to one another, and just when they think that things couldn't get any better, what happens when they find out Marco isn't who he claims to be? That he is not the man he thinks he is? That his reality is far worse than it actually seems? Forcing him to choose between what is right, and what is most dear.
