"Why do they call you The Ace?" I asked hesitantly. 

He looked up at me, his deep emerald eyes burning right through my skin. "Because I never miss a shot." 

When 24-year-old Alexandra Miller loses her miserable job at the bank she's worked for since graduating from college, she doesn't know what to do. She has no job, no money, and her best friend, Cassandra Dixon, moved after graduation from their home city of Chicago to New York City for a position at an elite finance company, Agostini Finances. 

After losing hope, Alex gets an unexpected call from Cassie about an opening position at the mysterious, top-tier company in New York - and they've made it clear they want Alexandra to interview for the position, although they know nothing about her. 

Once she stumbles across a rude, god-like man called The Ace, her entire world seems to flip upside-down. Her life went from a never-ending routine to each day being crazier than the last and it doesn't take long for Alexandra to know that there is something deeper behind Agostini. 

She knows that her shiny resume isn't the reason behind her job offer at the exclusive multi-million dollar company, and after getting caught in the chaos, she realizes that there are secrets not just about Agostini she has yet to uncover.

Two dead parents, an estranged sister and an abusive, controlling boyfriend who's keeping one hell of a secret from her. At 21 years old she unknowingly finds herself thrown into the darkest life of them all - The Mob. Carson Agnello. The guy you would say, on the surface, has all the luck going for him. At 25 years old, he's the leader of the most powerful Italian mafia in America. He's busy fighting off the Irish Mob who are neighbouring him in New York. They're on opposite sides of the battle, he knows of her but she has no clue who he is, until one event intertwines their two lives together. They suddenly rely just on each other, they need each other. They're all each other has. ✨ "I felt sorry for you, when I saw you. I wanted to help you because you were being attacked by these men. But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat. "Maybe I am just bad as them...or maybe I'm worse baby girl." ⚠️ Warning - this book contains explicit mentions and descriptions of abuse, rape, mental health issues and suicide.

June, 2, 2024: #1 in Action-Romance "If you choose to leave, I won't stop you cause I know that would be a sensible decision." He moved even closer to her, encircling her in his arms, her eyes shut at the electrifying sensation that enveloped her, "But I hope you'll stay." He whispered in her ears. A lone tear escaped her eye as she heard his pain stricken words. "I am scared" She confessed, her voice trembling. "I will never let anything happen to you." He assured her, caressing her cheeks. Silence settled upon the room as their gazes remained locked and he leaned forward, placing his lips gently upon her's. An unknown warmth filled her body and instinctively her arms wrapped around his neck, drawing him closer. He reciprocated, pulling her body closer to his and deepening the kiss. He kissed her like there was no tomorrow - passionately. Only when their breaths became ragged did he finally release her, resting his head against hers. The only sound that resonated in the room was of their heavy breaths until Scarlett whispered, "I'll never leave." ___________________________________________ Markus Hayes, A man you don't want to be up against.
