Sleep Sans

TWIN TORMENTORS BOOK 2 is out: *BEAUTIFULLY RUINED* It was outlawed to excuse oneself in the presence of either of the twins, let alone when they were two.

I can’t eat, shower, sleep, even sit alone without them going alpha on me. My twins: My tormentors!

Amanda Urduja, a jack-of-all-trades, was paid handsomely to seduce an underground broker who was pretending to be a regular customer in an illegal casino to obtain information and report it to the authorities.

Everything was supposed to go smoothly except that Amanda mistakenly seduced the wrong man, who turned out to be the most menacing person in the room—the mafia leader. The mission was aborted, but the madly fallen savage continues to chase the sly woman and is determined to claim her.

Ils sont nés la même nuit, sous le hurlement d’une pleine lune écarlate. Mais le destin les a séparés avant qu’ils puissent ouvrir les yeux l’un sur l’autre. L’un, Kael, a grandi au cœur d’une meute sauvage. Alpha impitoyable, son nom fait frémir les plus braves. Craint, respecté, il règne par le sang et le feu, gouvernant les siens avec une poigne d'acier. L’autre, Liam, a été élevé loin des siens, dans les lumières glacées de la ville. PDG redoutable d’un empire tentaculaire, il ignore tout de ses origines surnaturelles jusqu’à ce qu’il croise son regard. Celui de la seule femme capable d’embraser sa bête intérieure. Son âme sœur. À des kilomètres de là, Kael ressent une déchirure brutale. Une douleur inconnue. Une rage sans nom. Quelqu’un vient de toucher ce qui lui revient. Sans savoir pourquoi, il est rongé par une jalousie féroce… et une soif de sang qu’il ne peut contenir. Deux loups. Deux mondes. Une vérité prête à éclater : ils ne sont pas seuls. Et lorsque leurs chemins se croisent enfin, le choc fera trembler la meute… et le monde des hommes. Frères de sang. Rivaux par le destin. L’amour les réunira… ou les détruira.

Mais la Déesse de la Lune a d'autres projets. Son chemin la ramène tout droit sur le territoire du Roi Alpha, où elle devient sa nouvelle secrétaire. Le roi Alpha est obsédé par elle depuis cette nuit-là.

I was born blessed by the god of fortune. No matter where I work, I can close major deals while lying down asleep. The underboss of the Castellano mafia family discovers this secret. He shows up at my door personally and invites me to join as a consigliere in name only. He offers me a six-figure annual salary and chauffeur service. He even installs a special ten-foot-wide massage bed in my office just for sleeping. After I join the Castellano family, arms deals finalize one after another. Several stalled collaborations come back to life. The Castellano family's reputation climbs steadily. Until the boss' girlfriend shows up to inspect for the first time. She grabs a pair of scissors and, in front of everyone, shreds my mattress to pieces. "Useless! We don't pay you all this money to sleep! "Starting tomorrow, you're working as a bar hostess. And you'll be paid like one too." I rub my sleepy eyes and stare at her in confusion. Last night, to help the Castellano family finalize that casino operation rights contract, I didn't sleep a wink. I barely fall asleep, so how am I useless? The soldato beside her breaks into a sweat. "Signora, she's…" "Shut up!" she cuts him off arrogantly. "From now on, I'm the one in charge of the Castellano family!" Fine. Since there's no place for me here, I'll find somewhere else to sleep. I hear the rival family's boss is willing to give me an entire luxury estate.
