Octavia. That's the name the world knows her by. One word. One name. At seventeen, she was a girl who had her spotlight when she was whisked away to co-star in what would be an award-winning movie. From that moment on, she had never strayed away. Now, at 24, Octavia is a star and has found herself in multiple productions. As she finds herself in Milan, Italy for a new and upcoming movie she is cast in, she crosses paths with Caleb Henderson, the famous writer known to the world as Romero Henderson. However, as the production of the movie begins, Octavia immediately decides her opinion of Caleb. She doesn't like him. She borderline hates him. She hates how annoying he is. She hates the stupid, random topics he always brings up. She hates how he almost always cuts her off whenever she's speaking. She hates how attracted she is to him. I exhaled, trying to rub the tiredness off my face with my hands. I looked down at his shadow on the ground to him. His face looked as if it was glowing from the sun, his eyes narrowing from the brightness. I let my gaze trail from the exposed tattoos on his arms to the stupid smile that was still on his face. "Why are you like this?" For a moment he didn't answer me. He simply glanced at me, knowing that I meant more in the five words. The smile on his face went from pure amusement to bitterness. It was something I had never seen before and I didn't think I wanted to see him smile like that ever again. He pivoted his head towards the sun once again and in a serious tone asked, "Would you have me any other way?" Cover: @EmSlough_

*This is a FREE book with PAID exclusive chapters* [The Dad I'd Like to F*ck] "You should be careful," Devin said calmly, bending over to scoop Rory into his arms. "This bathtub can get incredibly slippery." "So I noticed," she said dryly. Mortified, she noticed how erect her nipples were. They stabbed the air like tiny knives of arousal and she was positive that Devin had noticed. "I think I can walk now," she said quickly. To her relief, he set her on the ground and reached for her towel. "This is the second time I'm rescuing you," he said, in that quiet way Rory was beginning to recognise as his annoyed tone. "Let's not make it a habit." Rory tightened the towel around herself, wincing from the motion. "I slipped in the tub. Hardly a rescue." A dirty look crossed his face. "I haven't had sex in two years, Rory. Consider yourself rescued..." He turned to leave "...from me." She was speechless. For starters, this had been the longest conversation she'd ever had with Devin Shaw and, secondly, she was positive that he wasn't as crazy as he let everyone believe he was...

Excerpt: "You fucking bastard!" I yelled, smacking him across the face, hard. He shot upright, his eyes glowing black. I flinched, staring at them in shock before remembering how livid I was. "You undressed me?" I screamed. Michel growled, a noise that almost didn't even sound human. I didn't let it scare me, refusing to back down. "You took my clothes off! Did you try anything? I swear to god--" I had been poking him in the chest, and suddenly, he grabbed my hand. His eyes were no longer black, but they were still dark. "I didn't touch you," he growled lowly. "Cynthia took your clothes off because she thought you'd be uncomfortable. I put you into bed. No one laid a hand on you otherwise." I stared down at my camisole and boy shorts. "Cynthia...?" "The woman who brought you up here," he snapped. ...well, shit. I crossed my arms and huffed angrily. "Ok, well...how do I know you didn't try anything?" He shook his head. "Don't you think you would have woken up?" I glared at him. Good point... With nothing to say, I settled for, "Why are you sleeping in the same bed as me?" He appeared confused. "This is my bed." "Well, I don't wanna sleep with you," I hissed. "I barely know you!" Michel looked so tired as he put his head in his hands, for a minute, I almost felt bad. Then I remembered he kinda signed up for this when he kidnapped me. Sucks to suck. *** Summary: Jem is a sarcastic 23 year-old human with a dirty mouth and a dark secret.
