College is just like her old life . . . bleak. Surviving it won't be easy, especially when the girlfriend of the guy she's loved her entire life would rather see her dead. So much for that clean slate. Instead she's constantly looking over her shoulder, watching, waiting and worrying. Lucky for Emma she met The Senator's Son. Zach Walker is the typical rich kid . . . or is he? He's all heart, not like all those other guys. She isn't supposed to fall for him. She doesn't even know if she can trust him. He is completely tempting and totally out of her league. Please note - there is profanity and sexual situations. All rights reserved.

He's rude, he's arrogant and downright insolent. She's a damaged good with walls built so high it's a surprise even she can see over them. It's almost been a year since Scarlett Valentina has been working as secretary to the suave, sexy billionaire - Jasper Queen - and as her first year draws to a close, sparks begin to fly. Suffering from a childhood of abuse, Scarlett refuses to let anyone get too close until even she herself cannot stop her boss from digging deep into her past. But, will she let Jasper break down the walls and unearth every part of herself for him? Will Jasper stay long enough to seek his secretary out? Through all the scars, tears, truths and tantrums, who will burn and who will make it out unscathed? • THIS BOOK HAS BEEN FULLY REVISED AND EDITED AS OF JULY 1ST 2017 • ● DEAR READERS, PLEASE BE COURTEOUS OF THE FACT THAT THE FIRST 16-18 CHAPTERS WERE WRITTEN WHEN I WAS 14 YEARS OF AGE HENCE WHY THEY ARE NOT VERY GOOD AND PROVE TO BE RATHER NONSENSICAL AT TIMES.

One is unhappily married. The other is a self-proclaimed bachelor. What happens when these two lives cross? His mother always told him one of these days he's going to meet a woman who is going to rock his world and he won't know what to do, but he just laughed at the thought. In thirty-four years it hasn't happened, so what's to make him think it ever will. He will just keep doing what he's doing remaining happy all by himself with no strings attached. She heard him coming out of the bathroom and quickly wiped her face. When she looked at him she could see the satisfied smile on his face and it literally made her sick to her stomach. 'How in the hell did I ever love this man? Did I ever really love this man, or did I just get so caught up I couldn't think straight? I am so ashamed and I don't know what to do.' She thought to herself as he walked toward her taking off his clothes. When he meets her will he change his view on relationships? Will he cause her to question her commitment to her husband? Can he be the saving grace she needs to give her the strength to remove herself from an abusive marriage?
