About Thief (Bridgemoor County)

Jane Smith, or Val as she was known, is a single mother running away from the trauma of her past. Scarred and jaded, she’s learned the only person you can rely on is yourself. So when she’s caught by the local sheriff breaking into houses to survive, she knows she has to get away from him before he brings those she’s running from back into her life.

But with a missing diamond necklace, and Jane his only prime suspect, Owen Phillips has no intention of letting her out of his sight. Even if being close to her pulls something in him he thought was long dead.

Can they both get past their demons to find what they’ve longed for? Or will secrets from the past shatter their chance at coming out of the darkness?

Maid For The Mafia by Alice T. Boone

About Maid For The Mafia by Alice T. Boone

𝐈 𝐂𝐀𝐍’𝐓 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔— 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐈𝐅 𝐈𝐓 𝐂𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐒 𝐌𝐘 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘’𝐒 𝐒𝐀𝐅𝐄𝐓𝐘
𝑻𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆
Men like me, we don’t marry the maid.
I’ve spent my life building an image of brutality. My word is law in this city, and perfection is the only thing I’ll accept— from my men, from my family, from you. When Jackie sold you to me, I thought I was buying a silent servant. Your job is simple, Selina:
Keep this place in order
And keep out of my life.
Why is that so hard for you to understand? It doesn’t matter how bad I want you, Selina. We can’t be together. Involving you in this mess would mean sacrificing control, and I can’t afford that. If the world finds out that I can’t stop thinking about you, that I can’t stop needing you, I’ll lose everything.
Keeping you here is tearing me apart,
But I’ll never let you go.

𝑺𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒂
How am I supposed to tell you the truth?
Toronto left me burned. I’ve been used and abused by an entire city, and this was supposed to be a fresh start. I had hope for a new life, but loving you means throwing all that away.
I want the real you— not the image you’ve worked so hard to build. You say you want me, but if pictures from the past are enough to break your trust, how can I believe that? If you want a life with me, you’ll have to learn to let go of your pride, to stand as the man you are instead of the one the world wants you to be.
Because I won’t be treated like that again, Terry.
Not by you.

Scandal

About Scandal

I wanted her the moment I first saw her.

Chanelle Nicolls, the great CNN reporter, was more beautiful in person than on TV.
Looking into her gorgeous eyes was like being struck by lightning. The feeling was enchanting.

I’d never before wanted to possess a woman. But I wanted to make Chanelle Nicolls mine.

Mine… This word, which had so far been unfamiliar to me, appeared in my mind. Something was changing in me, too quickly and dangerously.

I didn’t want our relationship to be purely sexual. Yes, the desire was there, but it was all much more profound than lust. It was as if my soul wanted to merge with hers. So, when I received a call from the hospital, informing me that Chanelle had been in a crash, a red curtain fell before my eyes.

Who wanted to hurt Chanelle and why?
