When the lines blur...
How often do we say that in real life? In Jarek and Tatiana's story... it's what defines their journey...
Unbelievable, isn’t it, that we’re already in the second quarter of the year? For me, it once again kicked off with twists and turns and some unexpected sadness. It makes one question how different people view the concept of true friendship. Either way, at least memories can’t be stripped away as easily. As part of diversifying this year, I started a book cover creation line to offer unique designs at budget prices.

#Preorder yours today: https://books2read.com/SDD2-ThePayment
Her grandfather's debt became her prison. Her heart was the price...
Tatiana Polov was more than just a pawn in a game between titans—she was the currency that sealed a devil’s bargain. Jarek Farrel, the Dark One of Boston’s underworld, had orchestrated every move with the precision of a master player, wrapping her in promises of love while binding her in chains of obligation. The signs of his true nature had always been there; she had just been too lovestruck to pay attention to them.
Now, trapped between her Bratva heritage and the man whose power made even her formidable grandfather bow; she learned that love’s warmth could freeze into hatred’s ice. Her husband might rule Boston’s white crime with an iron fist, but he made one critical mistake—he underestimated the woman scorned…
Jarek demanded a wife and an heir as payment. He got the first, but Tatiana would sooner paint her soul black than give him the second. Let him think he’d broken her spirit. Let him believe her submission. After all, the most dangerous predators knew when to play dead.
The debt might not have been hers, but the payment would be Jarek’s to make. And Tatiana intended to collect—with interest.
Some debts can never be forgiven…

I am Rex Oliver, IT pundit and proud owner of the New Orleans Club Decadent Skies—the most coveted exclusive club group in the sky. (Because apparently regular ones are too mainstream.) My current mission? Finding love among the clouds while managing my newly acquired club. Spoiler alert: I’m about as good at matchmaking as a penguin is at flying.
I am Xia Foster, former marketing hotshot who's gone from PowerPoint presentations to pouring pints. (Thanks, corporate downsizing!) Now I’m slinging cocktails in the sky for Mr. Too-Everything-For-His-Own-Sexy-Good Oliver, while secretly thinking he's the whole snack menu, not just a snack.
While Mr. Perfect desperately tries to find his "perfect match" he’s completely oblivious to the fact that his ideal woman is literally serving him drinks—and I’m irked that to him I’m invincible. So, what’s a girl to do? Easy. I become a Romance Assassin, shooting down his potential matches faster than you can say "turbulence." My weapon of choice? Pure sass with a twist of brutal honesty.
As these two walking disasters navigate the challenges that life throws at them, evil lurks on the horizon. Danger crashes their mile-high party. Because apparently, the universe decided that romantic confusion wasn't enough drama—let's add some actual peril to the mix!
Will they survive the threat as their fate becomes entangled when danger forces them to fight for survival? Will Rex finally notice what's right in front of him? Will Xia run out of ways to sabotage his dates?
Fasten your seatbelts—this love story is about to hit some serious turbulence!
Note: Although the blurb is in 1st person, the book is written in 3rd person, mutual POV. All books in this series are standalone novels.
If you’re ready for the flight of a lifetime with a suspenseful back storyline that tests each couple’s trust and resilience, then this is the series for you.
