Owning Emma by Delilah Mohan

Emma:
Of all the ill decisions my father made in his life, borrowing money from not one, but two men of questionable dealings had to be the worst. Now both men came to collect – one got money, the other got me. Sure, working as a live-in maid for Roman to work off my father’s debt wasn’t ideal, but my situation could be worse. Now, all I need to do is focus on work, pay off my father’s debt, and not fall prey to my broody new boss or his cheery best friend.

Roman:
I absolutely didn’t need a new house keeper. But that didn’t stop my best friend Shaw from offering Emma a job. My biggest rival wanted her and what better way to give him the finger then to already own what he craves. Too bad we underestimated what he would do to obtain what he wants, and now keeping Emma isn’t just about repaying her father’s debt. It’s the only thing saving her life.

Shaw:
I wanted her and there was no denying that Roman did too. He never would have admitted it, but that was why I stepped in to volunteer a job. Saving her from enemy hands and keeping her close was a two-for-one win. That was until the threats toward Emma and Roman started piling up and all I could do was piece together the puzzle of who betrayed us, one tiny piece at a time. No matter how tedious, I would find the mole among us. I had to, because losing the two people I love most in this world would never be an option.
