„Végül egyiküknek sem sikerült távol maradnia a másiktól.” – Cocktails and Books Eddig a létezéséről se tudtam. Most minden gondolatom ő tölti ki. Apám váratlanul halt meg. A gyász még mardossa a lelkem, amikor az ügyvéd a végrendelet miatt hív. Nem sok örökségről lehet szó, hiszen édesapám egyszerű munkásember volt. Legalábbis ezt hittem... Rám zúdul az igazság. Nem elég, hogy rengeteg pénz kerül a birtokomba, de a legnagyobb sokk az, hogy megboldogult atyám a beleegyezésem nélkül adott férjhez egy vadidegenhez. Persze ez nem maradhat így. Eldöntöttem, beviharzok az állítólagos „férjem” munkahelyére, ami egy kétes szórakozóhely, és átadom a válási papírokat. De minden képzeletet felülmúl a férfi, akivel összekötötték az életem. Giovanni Masseria egy extravagáns playboy, akinek hatalmát csak vadító megjelenése múlja felül. Amikor szembesítem azzal, hogy én vagyok a felesége, teljesen ledöbben. Ő sem tudott róla. De most hasznot kovácsol belőle magának, azonban ehhez rám is szüksége van. Persze, én is nyerek vele, csak még egy kicsit házasoknak kell maradnunk. Utána pedig elválunk, mintha mi sem történt volna. Ugye? Nem tartozom a világába, és tudom, hogy ez egyikünk számára sem fog jól végződni, de mégis valami hozzá vonz. Mindörökre.

„Tüzes, szexi, addiktív és kötelező olvasmány!” – Bookgasms Book Eddig csak egy rosszfiú volt számomra. Most minden veszély ellenére mellette akarok maradni. Amikor Gabriel De Luca belép a szórakozóhelyre, ahol pultosként dolgozom, úgy néz ki, mintha egy divatmagazinból lépett volna ki. Tíz éve nem láttam őt – az első pasim –, de egy pillanatig sem érzem az eltelt időt. Valamiért nagyon érdekli, miért dolgozom az egyik legrettegettebb bűnbanda főnökének... Egy héttel később újra felbukkan, viszont valahogy másképp viselkedik, másképp jár, és egy kicsit másképp is néz ki, de a viszontlátás öröme ezt mind semmissé teszi számomra. Aztán pár nappal később, mikor az éjszaka közepén betör a lakásomba, rájövök, hogy nem Gabriel volt az, akivel a múltkor a klubban találkoztam, hanem a testvére, Dominic. A zsarnoki és veszélyes ikertestvére, aki apjuk nyomdokaiba lépve a szervezett bűnözés világában él. Követeli, hogy szedelőzködjek és menjek vele. Visszautasítom, harcolok és vitatkozom, azonban Dominic De Luca mindig keresztülviszi az akaratát. Észveszejtő, elviselhetetlen a vonzalom kettőnk között, de mégiscsak az exem testvére. És vannak szabályok, amiket nem lehet áthágni. Vagy mégis? Claire Contreras New York Times bestsellerszerző szexi maffiarománca egy tiltott szerelemről mesél.

Maverick Cruz and I started off as pen pals and became besties when we went to the same sports camp at age twelve. He rooted for me at my soccer games. I cheered for him at his hockey tournaments. Through heartbreaks, new relationships, and failed friendships, we knew we could always count on each other. That''s why no one is more surprised--or panicked-- than I am when I start to develop different feelings for him. But Instead of telling him the truth, I agree to help him find a girlfriend. Someone who is not me. Someone who is so opposite of me that I have to make a list for the charade. The problem is, he wants to practice his dating skills with me. The corny pickup lines, the hand-holding, the door opening, the staring. Before this, I thought sharing a house with him was an excellent idea. Who wouldn''t want to room with their best friend? Now, the close proximity is killing me. What''s worse is that I can''t stop looking at him like he''s a Greek god, and he can''t stop seeing me as his virginal little sister. Still, I push it aside, until one night, when he''s lying beside me in bed and I''m the one who forgets the rules and crosses the line between friends and something more. It''s a horrible idea. He''s a player. I''m a virgin. Yet, I can''t seem to stop myself. ufeffNew item on my list: DO NOT FALL FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND.
