Nicki Aldrich y River Jackson han sido inseparables desde que llegaron al mundo con cuarenta y siete minutos de diferencia. Ella lo hizo envuelta en polvo de hadas. Él como si fuese un meteoro en llamas. El pequeño pueblo costero donde crecieron se convirtió en el escenario de sus paseos en bicicleta, las tardes en la casa del árbol y los primeros amores, secretos y dudas.

He saved me from war. Fed me when I was in too much pain to eat. Smuggled me and my family into America when it became too dangerous to stay. But, Nico didn't flee with us. While I began elementary school in the United States, he was building the greatest and toughest Mafia of the century. The Mafia Shqiptare. Nico is now king of all underground trades. Sexy. Aggressive. Brilliant. After years of nothing but silence, he's back in my life, ready to do whatever it takes to bring me into his universe.

As the bus approaches my stop on the Lower East Side, I raise the hood of my black sweatshirt. Anonymity is key in my neighborhood - particularly as a lone female walking at night. All I want is to leave my crime-ridden shadow of a home in New York City. I've done everything I can to keep my head down and focus on my studies. College is my only goal; love has never been on the map...That is, until my sister brings me to an underground fight, where I meet a gorgeous and mysterious man: Vincent.

But if I had known who my husband would be, I would have picked death. Leo might be gorgeous and lethal, but he has never met a woman who refuses to bow.

Through every drop of blood I spilled, I lost a piece of my soul. I've sacrificed seven long years and the woman of my life for the family.

I will stop at nothing to get her back.

Forgetting about Eve was the plan. Finding her at a party on my college campus was the last thing I expected. But letting her go again isn't an option - not this time. Juggling the life I want with the one I was born into may be near impossible, but for her, it's a risk I'm willing to take.

Maxton Hall is een van de duurste, meest gerenommeerde privéscholen van Engeland en de klassieke Maxton Hall-student is een nazaat van een eeuwenoud adellijk geslacht, van invloedrijke politici of van grootheden uit de zakenwereld, geen dood­gewoon meisje met een studiebeurs. Daarom wil Ruby het liefst zo snel mogelijk afstuderen en in de tussentijd zo min mogelijk opvallen.

What can I say? I got cocky. One drunken bet and now I've gotta go girl-free for a whole frickin' month. A bet's a bet, though, and now I have to man up and take it… but it's gonna be impossible after last night. Ever since I saved that sassy little freshman from a carload of sleaze bags, she's been under my skin. It's not just the fact she's a hottie. It's more about the fact that she didn't bat her eyelashes or flirt with me. If anything, she insulted me to my face and told me she could take care of herself. And now I'm hooked.

There's no way I'm falling for a chick like Leilani. Ugh, dating her would be like spending an entire game in the sin bin.
