Under the cover of darkness, when the night envelops the world, Penelope Casey finds herself entangled with the man of her dreams. He exudes charisma, oozes sexiness, and what initially seemed like a fleeting encounter without introductions has now evolved into a year and a half of pure pleasure. While it may be a tad peculiar that he only graces her bed under the cloak of night, Penny is convinced that he is the perfect match for her, and she finds it impossible to turn him away. Ace Romano possesses a deep understanding of Penny that goes beyond her wildest imagination. She is undeniably stunning, fiercely independent, and cautious when it comes to relationships. However, Hawk, as he is known, battles with his own inner demons, preventing him from forming meaningful connections with others. Nevertheless, when Penny becomes inadvertently involved in Denver's dangerous underground scene, Ace's protective instincts emerge with full force. The challenge lies in Penny experiencing Ace's commanding alpha demeanor in broad daylight, which causes her to question whether he is still the one she thought he was. This is the first book of my series of Badass S*xy Honchos. Here are the other books in the series: BOOK 1: LOVE ME IN THE DARK BOOK 2: FINDING MY DREAM MAN BOOK 3: LOVED BY THE HOT DETECTIVE BOOK 4: ATTRACTED TO THE BIKER OUTLAW

Avena Cross never believed in fairytales. Life taught her the hard way that love doesn't pay the bills, and dreams don’t put food on the table. As a literature student and struggling writer, she barely keeps herself and her sick father afloat, pouring every ounce of her energy into maintaining her scholarship and selling books to cover medical expenses. Damian Carter doesn’t believe in love. Cold, ruthless, and powerful, he built his billion-dollar empire by following one rule: emotions have no place in business. When his grandfather—his only family—gives him a shocking ultimatum before his supposed impending death, Damian signs a contract that goes against everything he stands for: he has three months to fall in love and get married. When fate throws them together in the most unexpected way—a fiery confrontation at a university lecture—Damian finds himself intrigued by the one woman who doesn’t fall at his feet. Avena challenges him, frustrates him, fascinates him. She’s a brilliant writer, a sharp mind, and the perfect candidate for a position he needs to fill. But what if she’s perfect for something more? When Avena’s world crumbles, and Damian presents an offer she can’t refuse—one year as his wife in exchange for more money than she’s ever dreamed of—she steps into a contract that will change everything. She swore she wouldn’t fall for him. He swore love wasn’t real. But when the lines between pretend and reality blur, when stolen glances become something deeper, and when fake kisses start feeling dangerously real… What happens when a contract becomes a promise? And what happens when breaking the rules means risking everything? Because in the end, the only thing more dangerous than signing the contract… is wanting to tear it apart.

"I'm an ordinary waiter, but I can see people's fate, including Shifters. Like all children, I was tested for magic when I was only a few days old. Since my specific bloodline is unknown and my magic is unidentifiable, I was marked with a delicate swirling pattern around my upper right arm. I do have magic, just as the tests showed, but it has never lined up with any known Magic species. I can't breathe fire like a dragon Shifter, or hex people who piss me off like Witches. I can't make potions like an Alchemist or seduce people like a Succubus. Now I don't mean to be unappreciative of the power I do have, it's interesting and all, but it just really doesn't pack much of a punch and most of the time it is just pretty much useless. My special magical skill is the ability to see threads of fate. Most of life is annoying enough for me, and what never occurred to me is that my mate is a rude, pompous nuisance. He's an Alpha and my friend's twin brother. --------------------------------------- “What are you doing? This is my home, you can't just let yourself in!” I try and keep my voice firm but when he turns and fixes me with his golden eyes I shrink back. The look he gives me is imperious and I automatically drop my eyes to the floor as is my habit. Then I force myself to look back up again. He doesn't notice me looking up because he's already looked away from me. He's being rude, I refuse to show that he's scaring me, even though he most definitely is. He glances around and after realising that the only place to sit is the little table with its two chairs he points to it. “Sit.” he orders. I glare at him. Who is he to order me around like this? How can someone this obnoxious possibly be my soul mate? Maybe I'm still asleep. I pinch my arm and my eyes water a little from the sting of pain."
