From bestselling author Kristen Granata comes a steamy enemies to lovers bodyguard romance with Romeo and Juliet vibes.
The job was clear: Get in, get what I need, and get out. I wasn't supposed to fall in love with the enemy's daughter.
Long raven hair and dark mischievous eyes drew me in. Her feisty attitude and caring heart kept me there. Her pain called out to mine and our souls entwined. Now I'm in so deep, I don't know which way is up. If my father finds out, we'll be next on his list.
I'll do anything in my power to protect her, but how can I keep her safe when I'm the one I need to keep her safe from?
Eva doesn't know it yet, but she's playing the part of Juliet in this twisted tragedy.
And our final act is inevitable.
Contains mature themes.
One night. That's all it was supposed to be. Imagine my surprise when Mr. Sexy in a Suit breezed through the door on the first day of school.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet my new boss.
Not only does he instantly recognize me, but he accuses me of stealing something valuable from him the morning I walk-of-shamed out of his apartment. When bullying me into a confession doesn't work, he turns my life into a living nightmare-as if that will coax me into returning what I supposedly stole.
But this is my school, and the only thing I'll be returning is payback.
Game. On.
There's only one problem. I wanted him before I hated him, and even now, a part of me still wants him. Somehow, through all of our fighting, through the anger and the pranks, I think I'm falling in love with the enemy.
Contains mature themes.
Callie Kingston's life as an Orange County housewife isn't as perfect as it seems. Her husband isn't the same man she fell in love with, and her home is no longer her safe haven. But she's determined to keep up appearances, especially when it comes to concealing the bruises her husband's temper leaves behind.
Until Cole Luciano moves into her friend's house across the street. He's abrasive and rude, but his steel-blue eyes tell a different story-one with dark secrets.
After suffering through an unspeakable tragedy, Cole settles into his sister's pool house until he can get back on his feet.

He sees right through Callie's carefully orchestrated lies and is desperate to help her.
Callie discovers more underneath Cole's hard exterior. But when Callie finally finds the courage to create a new life for herself, Cole isn't sure if there's enough of his heart left to give in.
