Some promises are impossible to keep. Some feelings are impossible to deny. Emily Banks has one priority: keeping her younger brother alive. With Noah battling lupus, mounting hospital bills, and a family struggling to stay afloat, she cannot afford to let her heart distract her from survival. Especially not after her cheating ex, Rick Harrison, taught her how dangerous it can be to trust the wrong man. So when Emily lands a secretary position at Sterling Entertainment Group, she believes her life is finally turning around. Until she meets her new boss. Jack Anderson is Manhattan's powerful, arrogant, and emotionally guarded CEO. At thirty-six, he has everything money can buy and no interest in complications. But Emily is no ordinary employee. She is the daughter of Michael Banks, Jack's longtime friend and former business partner—a man connected to a past Jack would rather leave buried. When Michael asks Jack to give his daughter a chance, Jack makes an unexpected offer: a temporary room in his luxurious penthouse. Living under the same roof as her father's best friend is the last thing Emily wants. Working directly for a man who seems determined to test her patience is even worse. But between late nights, unexpected kindness, heated arguments, and moments neither can explain, the distance between employer and employee begins to disappear. Jack knows Emily is a woman he should never want. She is younger, off-limits, and the daughter of a man whose trust he cannot afford to betray. But desire has never cared about promises. And when Rick returns with dangerous intentions, old secrets threaten Jack's position, and the past begins to unravel, Emily must decide whether the man who makes her heart race is worth risking everything she has fought to protect. Can Emily trust the one man she was never supposed to fall for? Or will loving Jack Anderson cost her more than she can bear? Some people enter your life by chance. Others become the one person you can never walk away from.

Everyone’s Favorite Girl She woke up naked in the bed of the cruelest man in New York. Riley Quinn died saving her squad from a bomb. Now she’s Isabella Castellano, the mafia princess everyone calls a frivolous addict. She has a stranger’s body, a family that forgot her existence, and a polite habit of leaving thank you notes for the men who want her dead. Dominic Marino, ice-eyed heir of the Marino House, believes she is nothing but a mess of lace and bad habits. But the woman in front of him is calm, sober, and far too dangerous to ignore. Her fiancé is poisoning her tea. Her parents can’t remember her birthday. And a dead girl’s ledger could bring down the most powerful men in the city. Everyone underestimated Izzy. They won’t make that mistake with Riley. She was never meant to be seen. Now she’s everyone’s favorite.

Twelve years. One ring. Five days until the wedding. Olivia Bennett has loved Daniel Whitmore since they were kids. But when a gunman opens fire on Valentine’s Day, Daniel doesn’t reach for her. He shields his first love, Vanessa, and leaves Olivia bleeding on the floor. Olivia gives him five days to prove he chooses her. He spends them proving the opposite. Then comes the night she begs him for help, and he tells her, “I’m busy. Call the cops.” She wakes alone, shattered, with one clue: the business card of Marcus Hale, Daniel’s most ruthless rival. Marcus has his own wounds, his own secrets, and a grandmother’s deadline that demands a wife by Friday. Olivia has the one thing neither the Whitmores nor the Hales expected: a forensic accountant’s talent for following the money, and a secret growing inside her. So on the day she was meant to walk down the aisle to Daniel, Olivia walks into City Hall and marries his enemy. Too late, Mr. Whitmore. But the contract was supposed to be pretend. The conspiracy behind her ruined night is real, it runs through Daniel’s own family, and the truth could destroy the only man who has ever shown up for her. Betrayal. Revenge. A marriage of convenience that stops being one.
