"The Importance of Being Kept" is the third interracial business romance trilogy which consists of our favorite characters from "Loving Mia" and "Kept" combined. Kaitlyn and Taylor's twin sons, Darren and Bryan have grown up to be very important business men in California. They run their own security business in the Financial District and live in most expensive penthouse in the city. Mia, Kale, and Aidan's fraternal twins, Kia and Brandon, have just graduated from college with business degrees. Kia is proud to be 23 and ready to start her life. Brandon already runs a club in the city. When Kia tries to leave for New York with her best friend Kaylee, all hell breaks lose with these two families. Please read the Introduction for a more detailed description of the story. A romantic comedy filled with passion, drama, and love.

Dakota finds Hannah on one of his missions and sees the way she fights off her attacker even though there's no hope of her winning. Still her spirit impresses him and her suffering touches his heart. He takes her under his protection and what starts off as admiration and respect develops into something much deeper and dangerous for the assassin and forces him to experience new intense emotions he struggles with. Dakota scares Hannah and turns her on at the same time. He's dangerous, probably the most dangerous of all the assassins next to Ebony and Silas and she's falling for him fast and hard, even when she thinks he could never truly love her. She's damaged and doubts she can get better and Dakota is an assassin whose calm, cool, demeanor comes unravel whenever she's in his presence. Perhaps the extremely protective, extremely possessive assassin is exactly what she needs to heal or perhaps he's holding her back. From the novel "His Best Kept Secret" comes the second sequel of the assassins starting with our favorite Native American, Dakota, finding true love.

Taylor found her at a hotel while he was on a business trip. She was in desperate need of help. He was in desperate need of an assistant. He thought he was doing a good deed by taking her in. He had no clue the woman who started out depending on him, would end up making him depend on her in more ways than one. Kaitlyn thought her life was finally over when he ex-boyfriend left her to defend for herself at a hotel. Completely out of money and nearly starving, she realizes she would end up on the streets. However, when a handsome man approaches her offering her a job and a new life, she finds herself "kept."

She was his best kept secret, his most treasured possession, an African-American beauty who won his heart from the very beginning. But keeping what he did for a living a secret from her and trying to keep her a secret from his enemies was proving to be the hardest job he'd ever had as an assassin.

The characters are highly complex and they exist in a world that values strength over compassion, only the strong survive. The life inside the pack mimics that of a real wolf pack with a strict hierarchy that is established through fighting and power. It is also comparable to a medieval court, the king holds his divine right to rule and the queen exists solely to please and support the king. Throw in scheming courtiers with the ability to change into wolves with sharp claws and fangs and you have the pack construct. As the characters are basically wolves housed in a human skin and the story is laced with animalistic references and traits displayed by all. We first meet the main characters Meela and Grey it is on a bloody battlefield where they recognize each other as their soul mate, and Grey takes Meela as tribute for his pack's help in her brother's fight. From this point on Meela belongs to Grey, and in this world, a highly spirited female with a propensity for impulsive actions matched to a dog stubborn, self-assured, dominant male is going to cause problems. We follow Meela in her journey to become the pack's Luna, a pack who are even more wolf than the one she comes from, and with a mate who has set the highest standards for her to reach as his Luna(female Alpha) and will accept nothing less than perfection. In the midst of all this and the struggle they face to form a personal and public relationship, there is one incident that will change them both and the fate of the pack completely. From that point on both Meela and Grey are inevitably changed and for them to be together, either one or both needs to change, but when you live in a world where you are taught that weakness is easily exploited and to admit defeat can potentially lead to your destruction.

He also hides a dark anger inside him. An anger at everything and the world around him. When two souls collide, how do you fix each other? Atlas isn't looking for a mate. He's seen the effect of women within his life, and how cruel they can be. But then he meets someone. Someone he doesn't want to meet. A painter soul. And a warrior's heart. How will the two collide? ***Note this can be read as a stand-alone story. Moon Child can be found on world_joy_ bio page - feel free to read it to get other characters background story.
