Diamonds & Hearts

Onyx Neel has worked hard to overcome her childhood issues. Harvard degrees. Accolades.  A job that matters — a job that will help children like the one she’d been before she took a better path. But the past never stays buried. When Onyx’s brother needs an expensive medical treatment, she can think of only one way to get the money quickly. That means using a skill she left behind in her youth and convincing a mob boss to lend her some cash. She only has to dip her toes in the water, even though this is an operation that involves sharks.Ryan Harper is used to his parents bailing him out of trouble. As quick as he can get in it, his father swoops in and digs him out. So, he expects the same now that he’s deep in debt to a mafioso. Only, his parents are cutting him off. He’s got to finally take care of himself. Desperate, he begs his debtor for more time to come up with the cash. “Sure,” the boss tells him. “Just get Onyx to accept the job I offered her.”Both under pressure, they’ll have to show true grit and diamond-like brilliance to get what they both need to go home happy. But might they find something more, as well?
