A married writer begins a passionate and destructive affair with a tortured artist, not knowing he has loved her since they met thirteen years ago. ***** Eloise Airens sat as a model for an art class thirteen years ago, where a damaged young artist, Aidan Foley, fell in love with her. For him, she was everything. For her, he was just a face in the crowd. But thirteen years later, Eloise's marriage is struggling and she ends up at Aidan's latest art show in New York. He's immediately drawn to her as he's never gotten over his obsession, and she's drawn to him because despite his pretentious art, only he can make her feel truly alive. Despite trying to save her marriage and stay true to her values, Eloise can't escape the pull of the talented, brooding, yet tortured Aidan Foley. Will she stay with the world she knows, or risk everything? And more importantly, will she do so before Aidan tells her about their strange past? [[word count: 150,000-200,000 words]]

"You are being disobedient today." Bloodhound crammed their leg in between her thighs, easily pinning her small wrists to the wall above her with one of their gloved hands. Seizing a fistful of her dark hair, they yanked her head back to expose her throat. "Shall I make an example of you, right here? Is that what you want?" Their voice was dangerous and low as they pressed their leg upward, nudging her through her tight leggings. "Hm?" Eve squirmed against their thigh, a needy whimper escaping her lips. "Tch," Bloodhound scoffed. "Perhaps if you are a good girl for me the rest of this match, I will reward you later. Behave, elskan." Eve puffed out her chest. Staring at them boldly, her eyes blazed with defiance. The blood hummed in her veins as her pulse quickened - she was playing with fire. "Make me." ---------------------------------------------------------------- Eve is one of the three newest Legends invited to participate in the Apex Games. When Bloodhound offers to mentor her, she quickly finds that she cannot focus on training in their presence. Soon, they begin to teach her about much more than just fighting. **Contains Mature/Explicit Content** Updates every Wednesday/some Sundays cover image credit: fiveonthe (Instagram)

This isn't a deep book about first loves or self-discovery. If you want a book like that, I'd be happy to recommend one, but I don't have that kind of story to tell. Instead my story is about rash decisions and finding out that your dream guy is bad in bed. It's the story of when I finally went skinny dipping, and how my life was never the same again. Oh, and it's also the story of my freshman year of college and realizing Mr. Right might have been there all along.

She was never scared of heights. Avery Woodsen has spent years clawing her way up the political ladder. She's fought and sacrificed to get where she is; she's more than ready to see the fruits of her labor. Finally, it's her chance to get one step closer to her dream - one step closer to D.C., a shiny city just waiting for her. Her time at the California Attorney General's office has come to an end. She's sacrificed everything for this. She would sacrifice anything to keep it. But when the attorney general seems to be targeted by a gun-wielding coward, Avery finds herself in the crosshairs. There's no manifesto to give her answers, and no suspect to question. Her ladder has collapsed. Will the security team sent from Greystone Security be enough to keep her safe? Will the trained, handsome man forced to be her protective shadow be able to keep her away from danger? Or will her desire to move up in her career have too strong of a pull? Or is what's tugging her not her career at all, but Reed Sterling himself? Trust no one.
