Lucifer When you’re born into one of the most powerful mafia families in Chicago, it’s almost impossible to leave that life behind, but I thought I had done it. I had a new life in Vegas, filled with all the money and women a man could want. I was the king of my world. But then the past caught up with me. An old debt had to be repaid, and the only way out of it was to either be married or engaged to be married. Finding a woman willing to play the part was easy. Remembering that this was all just make-believe was a lot harder than I expected it to be, but it could never be real. I had done things, evil things that she wouldn’t understand. Krista I was on the run from a dangerous past, looking to start over, definitely not looking for a relationship. I had way too much baggage for something like that. And then a wild one-night stand turned into the offer of a lifetime – $2000 to pretend to be his fiancée for a couple of days. It was a dream come true but it was a nightmare, too. I had seen the darkness within him. He lived up to his name and enjoyed dishing out punishment to those who had wronged him. What would he do to me if he discovered I was keeping something from him?

In Vegas, they say the house always wins but sometimes, if a girl is real lucky, she gets to hit the jackpot. Dante I’m in charge of my best friend’s casino while he’s off enjoying his honeymoon, but I don’t like being in charge. I prefer being the muscle, the go-to guy that takes care of business. It was that way with the Bratva. It was that way with the military. It’s that way now, but the business I need to deal with now is more of a pleasure... moreIn Vegas, they say the house always wins but sometimes, if a girl is real lucky, she gets to hit the jackpot. Dante I’m in charge of my best friend’s casino while he’s off enjoying his honeymoon, but I don’t like being in charge. I prefer being the muscle, the go-to guy that takes care of business. It was that way with the Bratva. It was that way with the military. It’s that way now, but the business I need to deal with now is more of a pleasure. The gorgeous woman I’ve had my eye on needs my help. She wants me to pretend to be her boyfriend so her idiot ex-fiance knows she’s moved on. It’s a simple job that’s not so simple because I don’t want to just pretend. I want to be the real deal. Unfortunately, someone from my past has tracked me down and he’s hungry for revenge. If he finds out how important Olivia is, he’ll use her to get to me so I have to keep her at a distance, pushing her away when all I want to do is pull her closer. Olivia I’ve had my eye on Dante since my first day at Sinsations. In my defense, the big handsome Russian is kind of hard to miss. But admiring and drooling from afar is all I’ve done. After all, he’s a hot bad boy with a shady past… and I’m just me. But now I need his help and it turns out that desperation (along with generous amounts of alcohol) is all that’s needed to ask for that help. The job? Pretend to be my boyfriend for a few days. The problem? I want to do a lot more than pretend, but Dante has a problem of his own. An enemy from his past has a score to settle and Dante thinks the only way to keep me safe is to keep his distance. It’s a good plan, except I don’t like it. So I’m going to show this big bad Russian the safest place I could ever be is in his arms. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
