  Veronika 
  I crashed the double wedding of two of the scariest Irish Kings to get information. Information to help me find my best friend’s sister, who was abducted. All I had to do was hack the phone of one of the mafia members. 
  He was the perfect target. A disinterested enforcer playing with fire, probably not too bright. Someone I could manipulate. 
  Instead, while I’m upstairs in his hotel room pressing past the security shield on his phone, he’s pressing into me, igniting a hot, liquid desire that I’d never before experienced. 
  I had to flee before this deadly, dazzling man killed me or what was left of my resolve with his toe-curling kisses. 
  But when the Red Hill mafia comes after me, the sinful enforcer is the only one who can protect me. 
  Or destroy me. 
  Darren 
  When a waitress at my best friends’ double wedding rematerializes at my table as a seductress in a slinky, red cocktail dress, I can’t keep my eyes—or my hands—off her. 
  But the next morning she’s gone. Along with the data from my phone. I don’t know what game she’s playing, but I intend to win it. 
  Except our game turns deadly when the Kings’ biggest rival tries to kill her. Now we’re locked in a safehouse together until I can figure out who she is and what she wants. 
  I’m the family’s chaos agent. I destroy and break things. I don’t protect anyone outside of the Kings. Especially not a total stranger I can’t trust. 
  But after a single night with her, my convictions start to crumble. 
  *Sweet Deception is a full-length mafia romance novel with no cheating and a guaranteed HEA.

  Bound by duty; saved by love. 
  When tragedy leaves Fitzwilliam Darcy clinging to life, Elizabeth Bennet sacrifices her dreams to repay the debt owed to her family's damaged savior. But can her compassion penetrate his bitter heart and spark hope again? 
  Beneath Darcy’s aloof bitterness smoulders a broken, vulnerable man stripped of his mobility and purpose. While Elizabeth grapples with this unexpected fate—a marriage of convenience that is proving to be decidedly inconvenient—they discover that they might just be more alike than they are different. As mutual dependence awakens a deep, trusting affection between two defiant hearts, can their blossoming care withstand not only Darcy’s demons, but pressure from a society still expecting them to produce an heir? 
  What fates decree as a marriage of cold duty has the power to transform two contrary souls and lead them to discover the truest liberation—of laughter and joy; partnership and understanding. And above all, the freedom found when true minds and hearts decide to throw off their armour for one another.
