"Emerald Maree Pearce, a 25-year-old psychologist bestowed upon with an out-of-this-world beauty, screams the concept of elegance with her voluminous and bodacious features. 
Jordan Calix Kale, a 34-year-old man, however, wasn't considered just an ordinary man. Having been the almighty J.K, the Mafia Lord of the J.K empire, which happened to be the biggest, most prestigious, and most indomitable Mafia gang in all of the US and even more, he was insurmountable and the most feared human alive. But all of that is about to change when these two worlds clash over a rather spontaneous meeting, dangerous and erotic sparks are sure to fly."

Behind Their Veneers

　　Caged within the confinements of her bedroom once again, Emerald was back to square one as she sat motionless on her bed. The rays of sunlight from the late morning sun spilled into the room, casting its light on Emerald's bruised feet while also highlighting her bloodshot eyes and tearstained face.


　　After running all the way out of Jordan's lone estate barefooted, Emerald had had to walk for miles before spotting a taxi and the effect of her action took a toll on her all through the night till this very moment as her legs burned and throbbed painfully, yet she sat completely still, too emotionally numb to feel any pain — both physical and emotional.


　　Jordan's confession, along with his hurt expression when she had pushed him away, played repeatedly in her mind but she was too tired, too torpid to shed any more tears. She had, with her own hands, ruined her one chance at happiness. She had chased away the only man, who was willing to love her even after knowing her flaws.
