Dysfunctional

At a party on a rival college campus, I drunkenly stumble into a bathroom just as a tall, muscular man steps out of the shower...naked. Instead of fleeing, I stay put and end up having the hottest bathroom hookup with someone whose name I don't know. Because I'm still in the closet, I don't talk about what happened that night, glad that it was with a guy who doesn't live in the same town. But come Monday morning, the naked man from the bathroom strolls into the locker room and locks eyes with me. Dominic is new to campus and threatening my spot on the team, which makes me hate him. It's too bad I loved everything he said and did to me the night we met, but I can't let him get to me with his cocky smirks and filthy words. I have to focus on keeping my position and making sure nobody finds out about us. He's arrogant where I'm modest. I'm docile where he's domineering. We're complete opposites, so it could never work, but being with him makes me want to break free from the chains that have kept me in the closet, because he's also the firm hand to my wavering confidence and I'm the moth drawn to his flame.

Jace Jamison is every woman's fantasy. He's a mysterious businessman willing to sweep you off your feet, a tattooed bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks, and a sexy friend you want to take that next step with. Jace is everything and anything you want him to be. He's a highly paid escort. But nobody knows who Jace really is; the man whose dad abandoned him, whose brother was killed, and who had to take care of his mom at a young age. At the age of nineteen, he was living in Sin City, ready for a life away from stress and struggle. Adrienne has been having a sexual drought since she broke up with her boyfriend. Even then she wasn't getting fully satisfied. Being an event planner, she's constantly working at numerous events. Several times she's seen a man she can only refer to as the God-like creature at her work functions. He's devastatingly handsome, tall, and has beautiful eyes, but he's always with a different woman. The last thing she needs is another player in her life. After a few chance encounters with Jace, her best friend convinces her to just get some good sex out of him and not worry about who she's seen him with. But what happens when she finds out that he isn't dating these women because he wants to, but because he's paid to? Keeping his job a secret from Adrienne seems easy at first, but when she begins meeting people he knows in his escort life, and they begin getting closer, he knows he has to tell her before someone else does. When their worlds entwine, and confessions are made, will they be able to work through it? Will she be able to push aside his sins and focus on the good in him? Will Jace get what he's never had? A woman who wants him despite what he's done. Or will living in sin cost him what he never knew he wanted?

When my dad called to lecture me about how it's time to settle down, quit partying, and get a job that will actually prepare me for life after college, I agreed. Mostly. After spring break, I'll buckle down and be ready to work, but until then, I'm getting my fill of fun. Which is why when I spot an attractive man sitting alone at a bar, I approach him with the hopes of being able to tempt him into a night full of pleasure. After all, being with an older guy is just about the only thing I haven't done. When I wake up in his bed with a note that makes it clear he doesn't intend on seeing me again, I take it in stride. But when I show up to the job my dad set up for me, it turns out my new boss, Aleksander Drakos, is the guy who thought he'd be done with me after a one-night stand. On top of that, apparently he's a friend of my dad's. Trying to remain professional is pointless. Working with him day after day is just too tempting to not have another taste.

Tempting Him

Sins and Mistrust

Welcome to Black Diamond Resort and Spa-the best place to go when all you want to do is disappear and not have anyone expect anything of you. Overwhelmed with work and feeling like I'm being pulled in multiple directions at once, I crave the serenity a private island holds for me. As a very recognizable figure in the adult film industry, I'm used to shelling out parts of myself for the sake of others. Everyone wants more pictures, videos, and more of my time and energy. Though I've created an empire that has made me lots of money in a business I enjoy, I still desire a break. Sandy beaches, fruity drinks, and turquoise waters are all I expected from this trip. I definitely didn't anticipate running into my high school crush-the jock that never once looked at me the way I wanted him to. Jarrod Bivens is now the star goalie of the San Jose Bobcats, and the person half the world is blaming for his team losing in the playoffs. Clearly here for his own escape, our chance encounter ignites an instant friendship. With each day on the island, I realize my crush is far from gone, but Jarrod's known for only dating Hollywood starlets, so he's obviously straight. Maybe those lingering gazes and small touches are all in my head. But one day, something interesting arises between us-a moment I couldn't have prepared myself for. Our mounting tension finally snaps, but little did I know it was only the beginning of a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Our chemistry is undeniable, but the real world awaits, and life off the island is bound to be much different. How can two people from polar opposite worlds ever make it work?

A Brother's Best Friend Romance

Tasting Innocence

The moment it happens, everything in me changes. Imagine somebody was able to fit inside of your body. Their arms are the same length as yours. You're both the same height. Everything is exactly the same. Now imagine that person not being a person at all. That thing inside of you is a shadow. Darkness. A silhouette of you, only living on the inside of your body. It doesn't have a conscious. It doesn't have a heart. Nothing within that darkness is remotely human. Its only goal is to take over your body. It fights against your muscles. It tries breaking through the skin. It wants to replace you. That's what it feels like when the darkness that lives inside me starts trying to get out. I feel it happening. The pressure builds. My skin prickles. And the only thing that tames it, getting it back to resting peacefully inside me, is to unleash it. I have to let it wreak havoc, and I quite enjoy the mayhem. Analeigh Price comes into my life and does the one thing I hate; question me about my past. She can pretend she wants to get to know me all she wants, but she's not ready for the truth. I won't become a better person for her, because I am who I am. She can't fix me, because my wounds are unfixable. You see, I'm not like everybody else. Oh, no. I'm different. My humanity was stripped from me long ago, and those who are responsible are about to be paid a visit. You've never heard a story like mine, because I'm unlike anyone you've ever met. I'm no hero. I'm the guy you don't want to piss off, because once the darkness within me is unleashed, it'll be too late to get away. What's my name? It's Donovan. Donovan James. But the darkness is taking over, and it's only good at one thing, so I must go.

Darkness Within

He thinks I don't know. He thinks he's getting away with it. He thinks karma won't come back to get him. He needs to think again. Men think women are vindictive, and maybe they're right. But when we get to the point of being cold, calculating, and vindictive, it's because they pushed us there. Not only is my husband unaware that he's pushing me too far, he also doesn't realize that I just met a man who's ready to catch me. I think he's just my new co-worker. I think it's just innocent flirting. I think I'll be able to keep my morals. I need to think again.
