Forbidden by L.A. Blythe
As children of two of New York’s most notorious mobster families, Micaela Moretti and Ajax Caruso lived an almost fairytale life, destined to carry on the family lines…together.
Until their fathers had a falling out.
Now, Micaela and Ajax should be enemies by virtue of blood and last name. But once upon a time, they made a pact. Meeting once a year, on their shared birthday, they rediscover their connection. And childhood friendship blossoms into a passion that can’t be denied.
One tryst. Once a year. No one will ever know.
Being together is forbidden, but what their fathers don’t know won’t hurt them.
Can they keep from hurting each other?

L.A. Blythe discovered her love for books at an early age. She is a hopeless romantic at heart and believes that everyone deserves their happily ever after. An East Coast native hailing from the Tri-State area, L.A. Blythe hates the cold weather, but loves her chunky sweaters and cups of coffee. When she's not writing, she can be found traveling, binge-watching TV, spending time with loved ones, and obsessing over all things Harry Potter.
Here is a short sample from the book:
I don’t want to get my hopes up. For all I know, the person who knocked on the door could be one of my dad’s goons. He promised he wouldn’t have them tail after me today, but he’s notoriously overprotective and paranoid, so I wouldn’t put it past him to go back on his word to me. I can already hear his voice in my head, explaining it away, justifying it. I’m your father, not one of your little friends. It’s my job to protect you at all times and at all costs.
The thing is, I don’t ask for much. The least my dad could do is allow me my one and only birthday wish.
Unlike most girls my age, all I wanted for my fifteenth birthday was one day of independence. One day of peace and tranquility. One day to just be regular old Micaela and not Micaela Giorgia Moretti, daughter of the head of one of the Five Families in New York City.
Taking a deep breath, I finally open the door.
Standing in the hallway is none other than Ajax. My former best friend. The boy I share a July Third birthday with. The boy I was supposed to marry before everything went to hell in a hand basket. The first-born son of mafia Don Nicolo Caruso, my dad’s number one enemy, and heir to a bloody throne.

High Stakes (A Dark Romance) by Vanessa Waltz
There are a million reasons why I should stay away from Vincent Cesare.
This was supposed to be temporary. I was supposed to deal for his illegal card games and get some quick cash. That was it. I wasn’t supposed to fall for him.
Little by little, I see the monster grinning at me through the cracks in his pretty suit. He won't tell me what he does, and I'm not sure I want to know. The darkness in his eyes terrifies me. He's seduced me into his web of lies with his charm, and now I'm trapped in his life. He's taken control over me without me even realizing…or resisting.

I'll need to become his.
Heart Robber (Lifestyle by Design Book 2) by Miranda P. Charles @MirandaPCharles
Jessa Allen knew she was plain and average. Yes, she was brainy and successful in her career as a senior writer for the popular Lifestyle by Design magazine, but she wasn’t a raving beauty who easily attracted hunky, gorgeous men like Rob Granger even if her well-meaning friends wanted her to believe she was. So when Rob asked her out, she was shocked. A seriously handsome man who had magnetism she couldn’t seem to escape wanted her. That wasn’t something that happened everyday.
Rob Granger was instantly attracted to Jessa Allen. She wasn’t the usual type he went for but there was something alluring about her that drew him like a moth to a flame. But he was a self-confessed playboy who had absolutely no plans to be tied down by any woman. He valued his freedom, first and foremost and his expanding business was the only thing he was committed to. But he was intent on satisfying his intense desire for Jessa.
They both didn’t want to fight their physical attraction for each other. But Jessa found herself falling for the man who could not promise her tomorrow. And Rob was set on only having a short fling with Jessa especially when they lived in different states – he in Melbourne and she in Sydney.
Could Jessa trust herself not to fall apart when the time came to let Rob go? And could Rob ever find freedom in what he considered as a prison to be avoided at all cost?
