Young Elise of the Von Schillers was sent to Giancarlo Verrazzano for him to mentor secretly. A cynic to love, she manages to draw him in with her innocent charm and cheeky wit, and it is seriously impairing his duties.
When he learned that an old enemy has come back to the city, he has to expose her identity for her own sake even though it will force him to confess his connection to a secret – an exclusive club that caters to the darkest secrets of tortured souls...
Elise is dreading the day she must face the world as a Von Schiller and she fights being spoiled by her over-protective and uber-hot mentor. He is so strict about his responsibilities that it’s driving her nuts. She can't believe the nasty rumors she hears about him because, under his blanket of protection, she has never felt more safe… especially with the spate of kidnapped young women in the city and a serial killer no one seems to catch.
But when he himself confesses about the Secret Sins Club, she has to step back and see with unbiased eyes the real man lurking behind the beautiful mask...

THE first time Arianna and Enrique met was the night she was gifted to grace his bed. When he woke up and discovered the blood on the sheets, he couldn't believe it. He was drunk and all he could remember were moans and the soft, responsive body under him. But she was a virgin. How could he be so wrong?
ARIANNA knew the wealthy Enrique Quiroz. He was the only son of the plantation’s Don. She didn't know he was the man waiting for her that night, when she had dreaded hell in a stranger’s bed… not bliss. When she left him, she also left a part of her that only he could give back.
ENRIQUE hunted for the stranger whose beautiful face haunts him every night only to discover she was living right under his nose. Her kisses made him think only of passion and sweet wine. He is obsessed. He can’t not have her again.
But Arianna fought him as hard as she fought to survive her miserable life even after he promised her wealth. And in the war that ensued, love ruined them... that power that makes those who surrender to it win, and grants to those who cower to its force… freedom.
