Four books. One woman who learned early never to need anyone. And ten years of finding out what that cost her.
Serafina Evans built a company from nothing and a life with no room in it for anybody else. It takes a saboteur inside her own walls, a man who lies to her, and a threat that follows her home to change her mind ? and by then, changing it may be the most dangerous thing she's ever done.
The Safeguarded Heart
Sera has kept her heart locked away since she was nineteen. Then an Italian client walks into her conference room, and after weeks of fighting him on everything, she does something she hasn't done in her adult life: she lets her guard down. Alessandro Giordano has a wife. Who lives less than twenty minutes away. And while her personal life comes apart, someone is quietly dismantling her company from the inside. A theft becomes a tampered report, which becomes a lost client ... and then something far worse than sabotage.
All of Me
Sera goes looking for an answer. What she gets is Alessandro telling her to go home ? no explanation, no apology. What she doesn't know is that someone has been watching him, and that Alessandro would rather she hate him than bury her. And back in Seattle, there's a man who has never once left her side. Bryce Hoyt is steady where Alessandro was volatile, here where Alessandro is gone, and honest about what he wants in a way that frightens her more than the silence ever did. Then his father dies, and the careful distance they've both been keeping stops holding.
Never Forget
For the first time, Sera has everything she never let herself want. Then the people who destroyed Alessandro's family work out that the fastest route to him runs straight through her, and they stop being subtle about it. They come in daylight, in parking lots, in elevators, and they don't much care who's standing beside her when they do. Now the people she finally let in are the ones standing in the line of fire.
Her Dirty Secret
Emily Hoyt is twenty-eight, aimless, and answering the door at her brother's engagement party when she finds the one man on earth he truly hates standing on the step. Forty-eight hours later she's on a plane to Naples with him. The problem isn't that Emily's falling for him. It's that she still hasn't told anyone.
