Sterling's Skin

Clara had finally found her escape. After years spent watching her distant husband, Julian Sterling, favor his doppelgänger secretary, Serena Vance, Clara uncovered a betrayal far deadlier than infidelity: a chilling clue linking Julian to the unsolved murder of her family. Divorce papers in hand, she was headed to court, not for separation, but for survival. But the conspiracy found them first. A sudden, violent collision meant to silence them both ends in tragedy—and a miracle. In a final, baffling act of sacrifice, Julian shields her life. Four days later, Clara awakens to a living nightmare: her consciousness is trapped inside her husband’s body, while her own lies comatose, vulnerable to the real threat. Now, Clara must assume the identity of the man she believes is a killer. Forced to walk the corridors of Julian's vast company, maintain his dark secrets, and endure the professional scrutiny of Serena, she must use his face and wealth to hunt for justice. Yet, as she wears his skin and uncovers the truth of his guarded existence, a terrifying doubt begins to bloom: Did the man who destroyed her family truly sacrifice himself to save her? Or is Julian Sterling a manipulated pawn in a larger, deadlier game, leaving Clara trapped not just with his secrets, but with his enemies? To survive and return to her own life, Clara must become the ultimate hostile witness—but the deeper she digs, the closer she gets to falling for the man she’s trying to expose.

The Mafia's Undoing

Katherine Blaire has worked six grueling years to rise to the top of the banking world of Manhattan. Confident, voluptuous, and ambitious, she's nearly within reach of the promotion that will help to finance the college education of her autistic brother. She needs but one account- the account of Anthony Marvin, arguably the most influential and dangerous man in New York. Anthony "Tony" Marvin doesn't just own hotels and nightclubs. He controls both legitimate and underground empires as the heir of the most notorious mafia family in the city. Tony is ruthless, heartbreakingly handsome, and untouchable until Katherine enters his club with the business plan and with an unwavering refusal to back away from him. When Tony offers Katherine something she cannot refuse —a night with him in exchange for the contract —she storms out, humiliated and outraged. But Tony is interested in the woman who had the strength to say no to him, and Katherine finds herself drawn into a dangerous game of power struggle, desire, and growing love. As their relationship grows stronger, Tony's father, the ruthless mafia kingpin Thomas Marvin, will do whatever it takes to eliminate what he sees as his son's greatest weakness. Surrounded by enemies and with Katherine's entire family in danger, she and Tony must decide if their love is worth risking everything — including their lives. In a world in which love is the ultimate vulnerability, can a banker and a mafia prince redefine the rules of power?
