Pretend I’m Yours
Updated at Feb 5, 2023, 19:30
Heartbroken, destroyed, and on the edge of despair. That’s how I felt for two years after my wife died, leaving me all alone with our baby. I sucked it up and kept going for my little girl… but I wasn’t living. I was only existing. Then I met Larkin, my gorgeous blonde neighbor. She’s got curves that my hands ache to hold, and toffee-colored eyes that beg me to do unspeakable things to her. I don’t want to want her. I don’t want to look at her, and I definitely don’t want to long for her. I want to avoid her. Except… I can’t. Everywhere I go, everything I do, I am brought back to Larkin. And when we finally cave, falling into bed together... It’s f**king explosive and passionate and deep. It feels as essential as breathing. I’m starting to fall in love with Larkin… but it was never supposed to turn into this. If I want a future with Larkin, I have to figure out how to let go of the past. And nothing has ever felt so good and hurt so bad.

Rock Star
Updated at Dec 29, 2021, 18:34
A bad boy rockstar needs a fake girlfriend… 
Not a girl to fall in love with him when the cameras fall away… 


When I walked into the party that night, I was worried about my black minidress being too short… I never realized that I was going to meet him. 


Rhys Grant, lead singer of Misery, one of the hottest bands on the freaking planet. 


Rhys isn’t just any tanned, muscular bad boy dripping with sex appeal. He’s so hot he’s practically Adonis himself. … and the way he sings… he owns that stage. 


And he’s interested in me. 


Well, okay, fake interested. He needs a sweet girl on his arm for the cameras, to smile and look like he’s settled down. Public Relations 101. I just happen to be in the right place at the right time. Right in the middle of that party, pulling down that mini skirt and feeling so out of place. 

Of course I said yes! How could I ever say no? But the more I find out about Rhys, the more I see the man behind the microphone and tabloids. 


I don’t want to be one of a thousand screaming fans. When he kisses me, when he touches me... suddenly I want to be his one and only. 

Paparazzi, crazed band managers, overdoses… Rhys’ lifestyle will either drive me away forever or ruin me for all other men. 

But one thing’s for sure… he’s going to rock me to my core.

I wake up in the wreckage, ready to fight for Rue.  Only she is gone, stolen away by my archenemy.  I start to see red. No one touches my girl and expects to live. The deck is stacked against us. Emotions are running high. There is one thing that no one else realizes, though. Rue is mine, and I will get her back if it is the last f*cking thing I do.

His Brother’s Fiancée
Updated at Dec 23, 2021, 01:01
I loved her once, a long time ago. Effie goddamn White, the raven-haired, pouty-lipped temptress. Hell, I was f*cking obsessed with her. Her touch, her smell, her taste… I couldn’t get enough. And she shattered my cold, hardened heart into a million pieces. I’ll never let that happen again. Ever. I know better. My brother Thorne waited in the wings. When I left, he pounced. Now I’m back, and Effie’s on Thorne’s arm, wearing Thorne’s ring. But she’s looking at me. And when we are trapped together, she’s undressing me with those baby blue eyes. Touching me. Tormenting me. That thing that I said would never happen twice? F*ck, she’s doing it to me again. And I love the way it feels, almost as much as she does... His Brother's Fiancée is approximately 55,000 words. It features ABSOLUTELY NO CHEATING (by the hero + heroine), and ends in a happily ever after!

Cherish
Updated at Dec 9, 2021, 00:10
Something has shifted and changed in me.  I have left Katherine behind, and stepped fully into the blossom of Fiore. But while I am undergoing that transformation, Monster too senses a sea change within. He’s violent and moody and… he seems to care about what happens to me. It is unthinkable, but maybe the fragile bond between us has grown into something more. Something dark and glittering and provocative. Profound and emotional. I know that this wasn’t his plan. I know that he hates that I might have power over him. But I hope that the delicate thing between us grows. Even if I don’t know where it might lead either of us.

I can barely wait to touch and lick every curve of her virgin body. Samara I assumed the auction room at Club V was just a rumor. Until I walked into the wrong room. I feared being fired but when the guard brought me to Mr. Vance I was instantly a hot mess. He was gorgeous, arrogant, cocky even and I couldn't take my eyes off the very naked woman wearing a diamond collar standing beside him. The look of lust and sex on her face as he played with her and then the way he watched me, teasing. But, I’d never have to see him again after tonight. That is until fate changed everything... God help me! Undone: Taylor Dawson spends her days getting down and dirty as a mechanic at her father's garage, rather than with a hot guy. At nineteen, she's so ready to get rid of her v-card but hasn't found the right man yet. Collecting her roommate from her bartending job at Club V, Taylor stumbles across Club Owner, Jake Mesa, giving a lesson in submission. Tay doesn't think she'd ever be able to obey like the collared woman at Jake's mercy and slips away from the room unnoticed. However, Jake's security footage caught the gorgeous voyeur in his room and now she has his full attention. When Taylor's dad admits to a business disaster that could end not only the garage but his life, she doesn't know where to turn. Then Jake makes her an offer... Will she be able to resist or become completely undone? Uncover: When magazine journalist Penny is offered the opportunity to investigate the virgin auctions at Club V, she leaps at the chance. Especially when she realizes the man she’ll be interviewing is Pete Wilson, the boy who set out to seduce her in University and made her a subject of ridicule.  Now they’re both adults and he’s the subject. Penny wants revenge. Can she uncover a seedy underworld to Club V for Expose magazine? Or instead is she about to uncover their bodies and their hearts?

Stolen and abducted… yet in the same stroke, saved. On one hand, I escaped certain death at the hands of people who have already hurt me. On the other, now I’m trapped with him. The rival of my abuser, who is every bit as terrifying. Dark and sinfully handsome, he wants me. He wants me to turn my back on the religion that has raised me.

Or else he’ll kill my little sister and turn me over to the men who controlled me before. Either way, I will have to make sacrifices. Sacrifices that have lasting consequences. I walk on the knife’s edge between falling prey again and completely losing myself. And if I’m not careful, I may end up worse than dead...

The Baby Mission
Updated at Dec 7, 2021, 23:41
He wants into my pants.  And I want a baby... I want a baby, and I want it bad. But there’s no Mr. Right in sight and I’m tired of waiting around for someone to rock my boat. So I decide that I’m going to have a baby on my own. Then I meet Jett at a party. Tall, dark, and handsome, he is just my type. And when the playboy makes it clear that he’s only interested in my body, I don’t take offense in the least. Blushing, I ask him to be my sperm donor, the old-fashioned way. And he says yes… as long as I agree to his terms. That means skin-on-skin, lips crushed to lips, him satisfying me until I shout his name to the rooftops. And he’s so f*cking good, I can’t stand it. Everything is fine, as long as I stick to the rules. No holding hands, no making plans. Simple as that. There aren’t any feelings involved, until there are. Rules are made to be broken right?  But so are hearts, and that’s what I’m afraid of.

Bad Behavior/Bad Reputation Duet
Updated at Nov 24, 2021, 18:20
Bad Behavior- Bad Behavior Duet, Book 1 Cynic. F*ck up. Outsider. That’s Jameson in a nutshell - not to mention drool-worthy, dreamy, and perfect fantasy object. He’s also my older brother’s best friend and business partner. I’ve had a thing for Jameson ever since I was old enough to have dirty dreams. My brother has made it crystal clear that if he catches rough, wrong-side-of-the-tracks Jameson even looking at me, someone will get hurt. That doesn’t deter me, though. I want Jameson to be my first. And that’s why my brother can never find out what happened. Because Jameson kissed me. No -- not kissed -- he shoved me up against a wall, possessed me, and took my breath away. Then he promptly passed out in my bed, wasted. Now I know that Jameson wants me. I may be off limits because of my brother, but that kiss is branded in my mind. I need another taste of Jameson. I crave his brutal touch. Pinned against the wall, gasping at the feel of his body pressed against mine, crying out in pleasure and pain while he gives me everything I’ve dreamed about. As long as my brother doesn’t catch on, Jameson might just give me exactly what I want… and a whole hell of a lot more… Bad Reputation - Book 2 I’m over Jameson. Finished. Done. He broke up with me, citing his friendship with my big brother. So I washed my hands of him. Heartbroken, I am trying to move on with my life. But of course, Jameson can’t make things easy for me. He’s still in my space every chance he gets, taunting me with his soulful eyes and his clever smile. I remember all too well what it felt like to be wrapped in his arms, to be under his big body, to be screaming his name. I just can’t seem to shake him. Every step I take away from him seems to bring us closer together, even though we’ve been down this road before.  The same forces threaten to rip us apart forever… unless Jameson and I learn to put love first.

Dr. Sexy: Traducción al español
Updated at Oct 27, 2021, 21:31
No soy una gran creyente en el romance. Ciertamente no soy el tipo de mujer que se emborracha, conoce a un hombre y se va a Reno esa misma noche a casarse. Pero el Dr. Sexy, Jack Stratton, cambió todo eso. Aunque fuera una mentira. Ok, nuestra relación era tan falsa como un bronceado artificial. Todo es para alardear frente a nuestros ex, hacerlos darse cuenta lo mucho que nos extrañan. ¿Qué puedo hacer si Jack es demasiado apuesto y me sonrojo con solo estar cerca de él? Y cuando me sonríe … Quizás debí apodarlo Dr. Calienta bragas. Y lo admito, parte de mí está completamente enamorada de él. ¿Cómo no puedo estarlo cuando me dice que tenemos que pasar tiempo juntos. Tenemos que mantener el engaño. Tenemos que besarnos en privado para que se vea bien en público. Cuando mi ex finalmente recibe el mensaje un mes después de nuestra “boda”, a mí me quedan dos opciones. Regresar con el hombre que todo el pueblo dice que es bueno para mí… o reunir mi valentía e ir en una nueva dirección. Una dirección que incluye a Jack y yo juntos.
