About this ebook

Mergers & Acquisitions

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Sometimes that means acquiring the one thing you never thought you’d need…love.

With histories that haunt them, each of our heroes is forced to confront his destiny with grit and determination. He can’t afford to look desperate. But all it takes is the love of a good woman to bring him to his knees.

Do our possessive alpha males have what it takes to make these mergers last?

Desperate People

Desperate people do desperate things. Sometimes it’s warranted.

Balor Cruz

I started working for Volkov Industries when my cousin sold them his business. The transition was fine. I was good at what I did. Better than good.

But for a man trying to insulate himself from all the noise in this messed-up world, it wasn’t ideal.

Especially not with her around.

Beautiful. Rich. And not nearly the snob I thought she was. Being around Marat Volkov’s daughter is proving too much of a temptation.

I know I’m not in her league—just another misfit with mismatched eyes and a screwed-up past. All I can do is stay out of her way.

But that changes when an unwanted admirer gets too close. She might be better off without me, but that’s out of the question now.

Lucy Volkov

I knew better than to take that modeling job, but I did it to soothe my ego.

What can I say? I’m only human.

I’m not used to being ignored. Certainly not when I offer myself freely to someone.

But when a certain sexy, tattooed man working for my father’s company turns me down, I don’t know what to do.

So yeah, I took the job out of some knee-jerk reaction. And now, I regret it.

Someone’s been breaking into my apartment. I think it’s the slimy talent agent who got me the job. He’s been leaving me presents, and now I’m scared for my life. Will Balor come to my rescue, or will I become a victim of some crazed stranger?

Marat's daughter...Lucy She got her father's beautiful looks, and its been both a blessing, and a nightmare. Lucy just sees herself as her. And there is one man who also sees her that way. Balor has loved Lucy from the moment he saw her. He never felt good enough to make a move. She is a Volkov. But when she is in danger that is out the window. He will do whatever to take care of her, and show her he sees her. We get so much action, suspense, and hotness from these two. Fantastic sizzling

This is one powerful love story. Dark, obsessive, dangerous, and steamy. Balor is a man obsessed with the woman that is now his wife. Believing he's not good enough, but willing kill to keep her safe, yet never caging her. Lucy is beautiful like her father Marat, the Face of Volkov Industries. She smart, creative, and talented. No one sees her, not the real her, but one man does and he'll stop at nothing to protect her when a stocker threatens his woman. This is a hard book to put down. So good!

Lucy Volkov has the face everyone wants but no one really knows. She's a beauty but only has eyes for one man, Balor Cruz. Balor doesn't think he's good enough for Lucy and when she asks him out he refuses her. That left her insecure so she decides to be in a video with El Tigre and it went viral. Now Lucy has a stalker and when they escalate the one person she calls is Balor. He answers immediately and now she is his, his to protect, his to keep safe, his to love and he's not giving her up.
