A D Justice

Right time. Right place. Right woman. I was blowing off steam when a guys' trip led to a hot fling. She was exactly what I needed for our ten days together. I said I'd never fall in love. I said I'd never get attached. We were never supposed to see each other again. We were never supposed to be anything more. But when she comes back into my life, I remind myself of one thing: Wrong place. Wrong time. Wrong man.

One word easily summed up my entire life: ordinary. I lived with my grandmother in a rural town in Montana. As I worked beside her in our small store, she taught me everything I needed to know. Except how to find her when she disappeared into thin air. Yesterday, going off to college was my greatest adventure. But the truth about my childhood was hidden from me my entire life, cloaked by a powerful spell. I thought all the tales she told me were just bedtime stories...children's fantasies. Until I stumbled into the Covis Realm. Until I learned my mother was killed because she was a mage. Until I was told my father died defending her. Until I realized I'm the rightful heir to the throne. Mages were hunted and killed because of their powers. They said a mage could never be the queen. My response? Watch me.

This collection contains the three books in Warning (The Vault Series). An innocent small-town Louisiana girl. A ruthless New York City mafia capo. A chance encounter in an unlikely event. They say opposites attract. But in the ruthless mafia world, that combination can be deadly. Especially when the person lying next to you is keeping secrets. Warning: Part OneJillian Hart didn't belong in our world. She was an innocent, blinded to the ways and seduced by the charm of the mafia. On the other hand, I was a capo in the Marchetti Family, groomed to take control one day, and my father was the boss, the Don. Damon Marchetti was a well-known name in the mafia world. We never would've crossed paths if not for a fender-bender with the wrong truck on the expressway. One thing led to another, and she became more than my charge. I gave her one warning about my life. One chance to decide to stay or leave. She chose to stay. Until all hell broke loose. Then I pushed too hard, my ever-present alter-ego took control. And I lost her. But if she thought I gave up easily when the chips were down, she had another warning coming. Warning: Part TwoJillian didn't heed my warning . . . but then, neither did I. She didn't know her life was still in danger or that her every move was being watched. Convincing her that she needed my protection required all my resources. Even then, she didn't want me around. Making her fall in love with me again would be nearly impossible. But I'm Damon Marchetti, and I don't know how or when to quit. Warning: Part ThreeJust when I thought I had everything figured out, life blew up in my face without warning. The missing pieces of the puzzle weren't clear, and the stakes were too high to merely hope for the best. Absolute facts I'd believed my entire life turned out to be lies and the truth was harder to accept than the family ever realized. Protecting my loved ones was my only priority. Any threat had to be eliminated--no matter the consequences. How deep did the treachery go? Only one way to find out.

Everything I believed was a lie-and someone is going to pay for it. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, my world shattered without warning. The missing pieces didn't fall into place-they shifted into something darker. The truth wasn't just hidden. It was buried beneath years of deception, and the deeper I dig, the more dangerous it becomes. Every absolute fact I trusted has been ripped apart. The past I thought I understood? A carefully constructed illusion. Now there's only one thing that matters-protecting the people I love. Because the truth doesn't come without consequences. And the closer I get to it, the more I realize just how far this treachery runs. Someone has been pulling the strings all along. And when I find them... they'll wish they had stayed hidden.

Jillian didn't heed my warning . . . but then, neither did I. She didn't know her life was still in danger or that her every move was being watched. Convincing her that she needed my protection required all my resources. Even then, she didn't want me around. Making her fall in love with me again would be nearly impossible. But I'm Damon Marchetti, and I don't know how or when to quit.

We never would've crossed paths... if she hadn't crashed into the wrong truck on the expressway. One look at her and I knew she didn't belong anywhere near my world. One conversation told me she was already too close. When I find out she has ties to a rival mafia family, walking away isn't an option. I need answers-and keeping her close is the only way to get them. Then one mistake turns into something neither of us planned. I give her a warning. One chance to walk away from me-and the Marchetti family-no questions asked. She chooses to stay. Until everything falls apart. Now she's running... and I'm the one hunting her. Because she's not just hiding from me. She's hiding something. And whatever it is? It changes everything
