Wine & Whiskey Duet - Nick & Shae
Can a sheltered pop star tame this mob boss? Or will he destroy more than just her career? No longer controlled by her mother, manager, or former fiancé, pop star Shae Armstrong steps out on her own and into the path of Nick DeMarco, a wealthy investor with alleged ties to organized crime and real childhood scars to overcome. She wants to take it slow. He needs her now - in his life and in his bed. No one thinks they belong together, including them. But they just can't seem to let each other go. Nick’s enemies threaten her career, her friendships, even her sanity. Now that she’s found her own voice, can Shae survive living in Nick’s world? Truth About Tequila Duet - Max & Gina
Gina’s alone – exactly how she likes it. No one to tell her it’s not her fault, to stop blaming herself. Free from the pitiful looks and whispered condolences. Nothing to remind her of everything she wants to forget. Until Max. The sexy diversion who lives in the same dangerous world and likes her bed as much as she does. Too bad he loves someone else. Who happens to be her new best friend and his boss’s wife. She might as well close her legs because he’s never going to open his heart. A simple promise. Living in a dark existence of death, greed, and deviance, Max swore to protect an innocent woman’s life because he didn’t have anything in his own worth saving. Until Gina. The seductive mafia princess who hides more secrets than he ever imagined. Lying to herself and everyone else that goodness no longer exists behind her broken spirit. He’ll sacrifice everything to prove she’s not second choice. Even if her lies destroy their only chance for happiness.
