Ethan Lewis has been in the bright lights for as long as he can remember. He’s just turned the cusp of celebrating his twenty-fourth birthday, and yet he feels more like eighty. Living the life of a celebrity isn’t all it is chalked up to be, and dealing with the unruly number of women who are more interested in his billions than who he is as a person is getting old. He has resigned himself to giving up on love and focusing on the only thing that truly gives back – his career. Riley Phillips has always dreamed of being on a big stage with the warmth of the spotlight baring down on her, but she just couldn’t seem to catch the right agent’s attention. After giving a quick commencement speech as Valedictorian of her graduating class at Billmore High, she’s offered something she can’t refuse... The chance to work in Hollywood. It’s not all it’s chalked up to be, but she works hard and finally gets her big break four years down the line. There is a new movie that her agent wants her to audition for, and her co-star? The dreamy Ethan Lewis. She scores the part, but soon regrets it due to his callous, overbearing persona. He’s nothing like the public touts, and she for one isn’t impressed. Funny enough, he is - immensely.

"I own you, baby. And there's no way I'll let you go. Not now, not in this lifetime." Cold, ruthless, and manipulative, Vincenzo Romanov is your typical Mafia boss who gets what he wants. Not only is he cruel, but he's also possessive. And it just so happens that his eyes are set on Annizah—the very girl who has been sold to marry him. Beautiful, innocent, and kind, she is the total opposite of him. She fears blood and death, and she obeys to please those around her. As an adoptive daughter, she's grateful for everything she owns. Vincenzo isn't like that. No, not at all. In truth, he follows no one but himself, and he kills for business. He's merciless and blood-thirsty. But she isn't scared at all. For some reason, he is different from what people perceive whenever he is alone with her. He is... something. And it only makes her desire to get to know him better. With their two worlds vastly different, will they be able to have the happy ending they want? Or will the differences in their worlds separate them even more? With impending threats, betrayal, and heartbreak in their journey, will they be able to surpass these challenges? Or will they succumb to the pain and walk down different paths?

This guy could offer me the moon, and I’d hand it right back. Never in a million years did I expect to run into the biggest crush of my childhood. But, of course, I have. And I’m reporting to him at the new company I landed a big-time job at. Arrogant. Hot as hell. Total jackass. Why he’s still single is no mystery to me. He’s not willing to settle down. He’s always been that way, and as far as I’m concerned, he always will be. But, boy, is he beautiful to look at. Every part of me screams "run" as my insides turn to mush. No. Not me too… Not again. I should be immune by now. I know him far too well to fall into this hopeless pit of adoration again. But maybe there’s a way around it. It’s his power that drives me over the edge of insanity. If I were the boss instead of him, I’d hold all the cards. Good thing I’m always up for a challenge. Funnily enough, this guy thinks he’s going to score. He might have to redefine what getting lucky looks like after me. At least, that’s the plan.
