Harper Rivers

Riley leans in, pressing his lips to hers in a soft, gentle kiss. Sofia responds, her lips parting as she deepens the kiss. Danny and Leo watch for a moment, then join in, their hands roaming over Sofia’s body as they kiss her neck and shoulder.
I watch, my own body reacting to the sight of my girl being kissed by my best friends. I would lie if I said I wouldn't rather take her all to myself, but I know they care for her and like her so damn much, just the way I do, and I can't help but feel warm at the thought of her getting this much love for once in her life.
To everyone else, Sofia looks like a quiet, shy girl who loves books more than people. Some even wonder if she lives in the library. But there’s a reason why she’s scared to go home; she overheard her parents planning to sell her to some rich mafia man so they could become rich themselves. Trying her best to avoid her house, she gets kidnapped by four men who planned to use her to hurt her husband-to-be. But the more time they spend with her, the more they fall in love, yes, all four of them.
Will they push their feelings aside to take down the mafia leader, or will they keep her to themselves?"

“All I want is to see you ruined,” Jaxon mutters, his voice dark as sin. “To watch that perfect, composed smile shatter when you realize there’s nowhere left to run.”
Paige meets his gaze, unflinching. “You can try. But you have no effect on me.”
The corner of his mouth lifts, something dangerous flashing in his eyes as he steps closer. “We’ll see about that. Because one way or another, I’ll make you mine. I’ll carve myself into you, piece by piece, until there’s no part of you I haven’t touched.”
She swallows, heart pounding, refusing to let him see the fear he’s trying so hard to ignite. “And what happens when you’re the one who breaks, Jaxon?”
He laughs, a low, chilling sound, his hand brushing her cheek with a gentleness that’s almost cruel. “I don’t break, Paige. Not for anyone.”
Jaxon Steele was made for this life. Raised by the Black Vipers since he was three, after his parents were killed in a rival ambush, he’s known only shadows and silence. To those who know him, he’s nothing but a weapon—cold, untouchable, soulless.
Across the city, Paige Taylor is the prized “Silk Tongue” of the Crimson Circle. Though innocent at heart, she has been trained from childhood to be the perfect translator and negotiator, her skills in languages and diplomacy are her weapons in a world that she despises but cannot escape.
Their paths collide during a high-stakes meeting that goes horribly wrong. With lives on the line and loyalties tested, Paige and Jaxon are forced to work together to fix the mess and uncover who betrayed them both. Despite their mutual hatred, a twist of fate binds them closer than either would like—until a moment igniting an obsession within him defies everything he thought he was.
