I’d been dead a month before my family even noticed. It wasn’t concern that brought them to that realization. It was my silence after the so-called “dinner” with Adam Rossi, the infamous mafia boss. My father scoffed like always,“She probably shacked up with that bastard. Too busy spreading her legs to pick up the damn phone.” My sister texted me a photo of them smiling under the Christmas tree, ornaments twinkling like nothing was wrong. Bitch, she wrote. You better talk Mr. Rossi into working with Dad, or you might as well be dead already. And my mother—once the softer one—was now colder than the frost on their windows. “I told you, we should’ve sent Gia to charm Mr. Rossi. Serena always screws things up.” They didn’t think I would die. Not until they found my body—broken, rotten, and forgotten—in Adam Rossi’s basement.

Dean Romero is not your average Tiger Shifter. He is the king or the Neta of the Island Stripe Pride, operating out of Manhattan. Wanting to avoid the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, this Neta elects to spend Christmas at his newly built cabin in a remote section of the Pine Barrens just outside of Maccon City, New Jersey. A town notorious among supernaturals for its Shifter ties. Violet Martinez is a nail technician stuck working on the holidays. Asked to make a house call she has no choice but to drive to an important client’s house on Christmas Eve. She’d much rather be at home curled up with her favorite mug full of steaming spiked hot chocolate and a marathon of old black and white movies to keep her company. Resigned to her fate, she heads out in the wintry weather which has made the drive nearly impossible. Halfway there, Violet’s car spins out on a lonely stretch of road and she slams into a tree, hitting her head on the dashboard. Passing out in the cold with a head injury was not on Violet’s Christmas list, but good thing there’s a Tiger king who just happens to be out for a run nearby. When Dean gets a whiff of Violet’s sugar cookie scent all bets are off. This Neta wants her for his own, but will the dark-haired beauty accept him and agree to be his bride this Christmas?

As Geraldine digs deeper into Michael’s world, she uncovers fragments of a shared past and feelings she thought she could resist but can’t. Torn between her duty and her growing love, she faces an impossible choice: betray the man she was sent to destroy or betray the organization she has dedicated her life to.

Three years into my marriage with Dominick, Gia, his stepsister, sent me a video clip out of nowhere. I tapped on the video, only to find Dominick tying his stepsister to the bedpost with the tie I had given him. His stepsister lay naked under him, addressing him intimately. After getting their freak on, they shared an embrace, and Gia cozied up against Dominick and uttered, “I don’t like the ring you bought me. Give it to Luna, and tell her it’s a birthday gift from me.” The next day, I sat in an upscale restaurant and stared at the vacant seat across the table. Suddenly, the Underboss wheeled a massive cake toward me. “Don Costa was called away on urgent business. He sent me to deliver your birthday gift.” The box contained his stepsister’s discarded reject. My phone buzzed with new pictures from Gia. Dominick was at the hospital with Gia for a check-up. Without a fuss, I signed the divorce papers and made preparations for a wedding. “Donna Costa, whose names should I put down as the bride and groom?” “Dominick and Gia.” A week from now, I would show the world the kind of filth the supposed solemn Don had been rolling in with his stepsister.

Love wasn’t on Rain’s to-do list… but it might have just RSVP’d anyway.

WARNING RATED SPG... Si Geraldine ay isang sikat at magaling na undercover agent na walang misyong hindi natatapos. Ngunit ang simpleng pagpapakasal niya bilang substitute bride sa isang lalaking iniwan sa altar ay nagdala sa kanya sa isang masalimuot na kwento ng pag-ibig, tungkulin, at nakatagong lihim. Ang lalaking iyon, si Michael Muller, ay hindi lamang isang negosyante kundi ang emperador ng pinakamakapangyarihang mafia sa mundo—ang mortal na kaaway ng gobyerno kung saan siya nagtatrabaho. Habang sinusubukan ni Geraldine na isagawa ang kanyang misyon laban kay Mike, unti-unti niyang natutuklasan ang kanilang malalim na koneksyon mula sa nakaraan at ang damdaming hindi niya mapigilan kahit pilit niyang nilalabanan. Ngunit sa mundo ng pagkakanulo at panganib, kailangang pumili ni Geraldine: ang sundin ang kanyang tungkulin bilang isang agent, o ang panindigan ang pagmamahal niya sa lalaking kinamumuhian ng organisasyong kanyang pinagsisilbihan. Mapapanindigan ba nila ang pag-ibig sa kabila ng dugo at kasinungalingan? O magwawakas ang lahat sa digmaan ng katapatan at kapalaran?
