At twenty-four, Annelise de Valois has the world at her feet.
She’s the CEO of a rapidly expanding empire. Old money flows through her veins—the kind that makes new money look like spare change. She lives in a heavily guarded château that no one can breach—no rivals, no suitors, not even paparazzi with drones. Her grandfather, a business legend, backs her. Other titans of industry admire her. Her enemies? They either grovel or disappear.
Whatever she wants, she gets.
A company? Snapped up.
A competitor? Obliterated.
A scandal? Buried before it even sees the light of day.
She has everything.
Except him.
Leander Grimaldi.
He’s too young, too trusting, too fucking pure for someone like her.
A five-year age gap isn’t much, and the decades-old alliance between their families shouldn’t even matter. The real problem is him. Leander has never known betrayal, never played the cutthroat games of high society, never learned to second-guess every word or every smile.
Meanwhile, Annelise lives and breathes that world. She doesn’t just play the game—she is the game. While he wanders through life unguarded, she calculates every move ten steps ahead. While he sees the best in people, she sees their weaknesses and exploits them.
She should stay away. She should let him think of her as nothing more than a family friend—a big sister who looks out for him, protects him.
But she doesn’t.
She lets herself get too close.
She wants him too much.
And she always gets what she wants.
Even if, this time, taking it means destroying the one thing she can never buy back—his trust.

Book One: The Romance Author's Matchmaking

Micaela Dawson was no stranger to the subtleties of the human mating call - if anything, she was an expert; after all, she built a long and successful career on them. When she agreed to meet her commitment-phobe godson/nephew, Chris Ericson after finding out he went through another one of Seattle's young ladies, she had every intention of sharing her scalding opinion of his lothario behavior by reminding him he wasn't getting any younger. However, as she approached the glass storefront of A Steamy Love Affair Coffee Shop, she noticed the hunt of the wild happening right before her eyes.

There was a moment, just a mere moment of fascination in this new young lady's eyes as she glanced up to see her nephew from the opposite side of the table. Unfortunately, Micaela quickly noticed the hideous hungry, wolfish grin on her godson's face. Lord knows what attracted women to that look when it was clear as day that look said nothing more than, 'You! Me! Bed! Now! Grr!'

Once she noticed the moment was not going to progress, she walked into the shop, going straight to the young woman that captured the attention of her wannabe playboy nephew. Her name was Persephone, like unwilling bride of Hades. The fact that she didn't hesitate to share her table in a crowded shop was a good sign. Mentioning that Micaela had been her favorite author once upon a time was good for the ego but hearing that she was not looking for a relationship - well, Micaela had yet to decide if that was good or bad.

When Persephone's early departure clearly put a kink in her godson's nefarious intentions toward his new potential victim, his disappointment was palpable. Micaela quickly began to plot like she did in when she was in front of her computer creating new worlds filled with love.

On one hand, there was a beautiful young woman not interested in love... and on the other, a handsome young man who desired her but was not considering settling down any time soon.

Her days of writing romance novels may be over, but her days of playing matchmaker may have just begun, as it seems nature just leveled up her tools and her arena in a most dramatic fashion!

Book 2: The Romance Author's Unsolicited Advice

Micaela loved taking credit for the successful match between Chris and Persephone no matter what those two said. Now that the couple had merged their lives under the same roof, the next step was getting her sister a most coveted grandchild.

Persephone was adamant that she didn't want a child- not right now and maybe not ever, but Micaela had to insist, after all, she was the only woman that could tame Chris and she was twenty-nine years old, an age just ripe for procreating!

For a moment, Micaela thought all hope would be lost, until Chris caught baby fever. From then on, those two kept coming up with creative ways to change the other's mind and although Micaela was on Chris's side, she loved witnessing the chaos from sidelines.

His blue eyes darkened as he stepped into my space, backing me slowly against the wall.

I clenched my jaw. “Move.”

Instead, he lifted a hand, stopping just short of touching me. Close enough that I could feel the heat of him.

“Tell me,” he said mockingly gentle, “is it like this with everyone?”
His lips brushed my ear. “Or am I special?”

“Don’t,” I whispered, even as my fingers curled into his shirt.

“That’s not what your hands are saying.”

I tried to step away, but my body betrayed me. The way he nipped at my ear, the way his hands held me with an intensity that made my chest tighten…it was wrong. Every glance, every touch, every harsh word from him made my blood burn. I hated him. I hated how he made me feel. And yet…I couldn’t stop myself from leaning closer.

Avery Voss has always been the wild twin—the prodigy, the one who chased music instead of grades, the one her parents barely noticed, the one who lived recklessly. Her sister Emery was the safe twin…the golden girl everyone loved, the one who followed the rules and carried their parents’ expectations without complaint.
But one night, everything changed. A single choice forced Avery to step into Emery’s life…her school, her world.
