Watching Ember by J.B. Reding

Ember:
Being the daughter of a well-known crime boss, you would think my life would be more interesting. But it was boring. Until it wasn’t…
I’m about to graduate college when shit hits the fan. An old friend makes a reappearance at the most unexpected time.
An old friend who has ignored me for longer than I wish to admit.
He also just so happens to be my first love.
When danger arises and I become the main target for one of my father’s unknown enemies, Nixon’s there to keep me safe. Even if I don’t need him too.
Coming home was always in the plans, but I didn’t know it would be this hard.
Pun intended.

Nixon:
Taking over for Ember’s dad was easy. Keeping it from her was not…
Ember has always been mine, even when I pushed her away.
She just didn’t know it.
But she will… soon.
However, when someone decides that Ember has information that could change everything, her life takes a turn for the worst.
But I didn’t become boss so some asshat could think he could hurt what is mine.
Only it turns out I was too late, for he has been the enemy for longer than we thought.
Make no mistake, I will make things right and Ember will know her place…
By my side as Queen.
