Breaking Emma (Book 1):

A decade later Emma can barely remember who the man is. Or why she can't go home. Kane Years of isolation has made Kane Andrews the most ruthless boss of The Five Families. He's never forgotten the day he found his sister's dead body. He's lived his life haunted by the blank look in her eyes. Now that he's in charge, Kane finally has the opportunity to buy the information he needs to avenge Hallie. Information that is paid for, but never delivered.

Nicole's Lament (Book 1.5):

Six years before the events of Breaking Emma, Nicole Sinclair was dragged into a California night club for a girls' night that would lead her down an unexpected road. Meanwhile, Derek Villarosa is at the right place, at the right time when he decides to order the hot, sweaty mess sitting at the bar a drink.

One decision later, Derek and Nicole's lives are cemented together in a way neither of them saw coming. While Nicole's world has changed forever, Derek tries to hold on to the remaining shreds of their future. What once was, could still be again if she can let him back in.
