A vow. A contract. A marriage of fire and ice.
But just when Eric de Vries and I found our forever, the entire world conspired to keep us apart.
A kidnapping. A trial. A madman bent on revenge.
Now caught in a web of our own passion and a father's obsession, the harder we struggle, the tighter we're caught.
They say love conquers all, but it feels like we're the conquest.
As the walls close in, I have to wonder . . . are we really meant to be?
Or is this love just a trap?

Eric de Vries.
Looks like millions. Worth billions. A body like the David with a mind to match. Unfortunately for this wayward heir, to keep his money, he needs a wife. And of all the women in the world, he chooses me.
Too bad I've hated him for five years, since he took all my tears and tossed me away. The guy slept his way through half of New England and discarded women like hotel toiletries. Been there. Done that.
Still . . . what would you do for twenty million dollars? Would you wear the dress? Fake a smile for the man who broke your heart? Or would you run far, far away?
Yeah, that's what I thought. I'll see you at the church.

Jane and Eric de Vries.
Often enemies. Sometimes lovers. Husband and wife. Or are we?
I wore the dress. We said the vows. And somehow it became more than just a stunt to collect his billions. A promise bound by love, not hate. Until he humiliated me in front of all of New York and disappeared.
Now my errant husband has returned, and it's like I never existed. Except when he looks at me like he wants to rip my dress from my body. Something's holding him back. And I won't rest until I discover its cause.
See, this wild heir is about to find out: karma's a fickle mistress. My weapons? Batting eyelashes, high heels, and that red lipstick he can't resist. I'll break down his mask, little by little. And then I'll make him pay for what he did. I just need to keep my heart in check while I do it.

They said I was a bad idea. Poor. Violent. Criminal.
They said I'd amount to nothing, and I believed them too. Until I met her.
Layla Barros saved me from my worst, but to do that, she lost the best herself. Now it's my turn to bring her back to life. If only I can figure out how to do it.
I'll do anything to protect the chance we finally have together. I'll follow her to the other side of the word: Brazil. Cuba. You name it. But how can I be her true north when I'm still finding my direction too?
Because sometimes your worst demons are those closest to you. And sometimes getting rid of them isn't a choice at all.

The heart-wrenching follow-up to Bad Idea, a romance of star-crossed lovers in the city that never sleeps.
Six months ago, I gave my heart to a girl.
Beautiful, kind, and sexy as sin, she's the only person who saw past my record or the color of my skin. Who ever saw me for me.
She loved me enough to let me go, let me leave this city to find my own path.
But without her, I drift, lost without direction. Without me, she spirals, desperate for connection.
I gave my heart to a girl, and she gave hers to me. But love shouldn't hurt this much.
Contains mature themes.
Repeat after me: stay away from the hot girl.
The beautiful girl.
The f**king ray of sunshine in the middle of your delivery route.
Layla Barros is everything I never knew I wanted. Everything I'll never have.
She's an innocent young student. I'm a convicted felon.
She's rich girl from a nice family. I've got nothing but a broken home.
But if I'm an addict, she's my drug. I can't stay away, even though I know I'll ruin her in the end.
She might be the girl of my dreams, but I was always a bad idea.

Skylar Crosby knows betrayal. She knows that deep stab when those closest to you deceive your fragile trust. And she knows what it's like when your secrets cost you everything-including the love of your life.
Now kidnapped, scared, and alone, Skylar has no reason to believe in her rescue. Not when she can still see Brandon's face as she smashed his heart to pieces. Even if Skylar can get out of her physical prison, can she escape the cage created by her guilt?
Brandon Sterling spent the last fifteen years desperately trying to reinvent himself: as a lawyer, a businessman, and now a candidate for public office. But as these daily stressors mount alongside a dangerous threat to his family and loved ones, the old Brandon reemerges: a ruthless hoodlum who'd rather use fists than brains to solve his problems.
Now, when the one he loves most is taken, can Brandon move past her deceit in order to find her? And if he does, will Skylar still want the man he's become in order to protect her?

What's the point of falling in love if it only breaks your heart?
I should be flying high. I've graduated from the best law school in the world, and I'm ready to start my career. So why do I feel like I'm holding the world on my shoulders instead of standing on top of it?
Oh, right. Him.
Bad boy. Billionaire. Larger-than-life Brandon Sterling. In a few short months, he became the sun to my universe, only to flip it upside down and inside out, leaving me to make the biggest decision of my life alone.
I don't want to miss him like I do. I don't want to love him like I do.
So the question is, when he comes back-if he comes back-will he forgive me for what I've done?
Contains mature themes.
Enemies turn to lovers in this bad boy billionaire romance with a twist.
I had a plan.
Finish law school. Start a job. Stay away from men like Brandon Sterling. Cocky, overbearing, and richer than the Earth, he thinks the world belongs to him, and that includes me.
Yeah, no. Think again.
It doesn't matter that his blue eyes look straight into my soul, or that his touch melts my icy reserve. It doesn't even matter that past all that swagger, there's a beautiful, damaged man who has so much to offer beyond private planes and jewelry boxes.
But I had a plan: no falling in love.
I just have to convince myself.
