Her enemy is her passion, her passion is her enemy… Lindsey Paxton was once the number one defense attorney in New York. She fought for those who were innocent, but charged. Her instincts were her lifeline, never failing her, as they guided her in her choices of who to defend. Or so she thought. Until she won a case she would forever wish to have lost. Her client, an accused rapist, kills and rapes a woman only a day after being set free. Destroyed by her role in the woman’s death, Lindsey blames her father’s controlling ways for what she has become, and runs from her career and life. Years later – the past becomes the present . . . Her father has cancer, and Lindsey is forced to leave her career with the Washington branch of the FBI. She finds herself facing the responsibility of running her father’s law firm with the reluctant help of hotshot attorney Mark Reeves, a man who sparks her temper while also managing to tempt her heart, while setting her body on fire! With his help she finds herself fighting the emotional battles of the past, tempted to trust both him and her instincts. Now, faced with a case inherited from her father so similar to her career-ending one, she now must decide if her instincts will lead her down the path to saving an innocent man or setting free another killer. But while she fights her own battles, someone watches, wanting from the past what he had failed to get the first time . . . Lindsey. ***Previously released as “Hidden Instincts.”*** --- Content Warning --- The story you are about to read is intended for mature readers due to its sexual content and language.

6 different lives, 2 different stories and 2 different fates. Years passed but some things never change, some feelings remain and love can return when you least expect it to. Fate number 1: " Hello." I shuddered at the sound of that velvety voice. My body froze and I suddenly felt weak. I was kneeling down on the floor. My hands dipped in the soil. All I could see was his well shod feet and his expensive black leather shoes. He was back. My God, he was here. I wanted to cry, I wanted to shout as I already knew that his presence was going to change my life again. I may fight him, I may ignore him but I was still into his possession. ______________________________________________________________ Fate number 2 I never thought to have him in front of me after all these years. I wondered if he recognized me. He changed, he's a man now. I should hate him, he caused so much trouble in my family yet I can't. I trembled as I held his medical records in my hand. He was famous now and although he had defied death more than once,his body carried the marks of each challenge. I looked at his x-ray , he was there for a broken arm. He kept staring at me making me feeling uncomfortable under his scrutinizing gaze. His blue eyes deep as the blue sea and his hair black as jet. I found myself staring at his lips, sensual and full. Mick the cowboy, the man of danger, this was how they called him now. I smiled as I remembered how many times we had chatted in the past even though he didn't know it was me. I had loved him in silence since the first time I saw him. " Do I know you? Have we already met somewhere?" He asked. My heart stopped as I found the courage to look at him. Yes you know me, I have always been into your possession even if you don't know it.

It had always been the three of us, and then it was the two of us-Ed and August. There was not, nor had there ever been a chance of a Noah and August. And that was fine. Because the truth was I had known Noah forever but I still had no idea who he really was. Especially not now. In this sizzling novella, one girl must choose between loyalty and love. August had the two best guy friends a girl could ask for in Noah and Ed. Then Ed confessed he felt more for her - and their new relationship changed everything. She had hoped it would be Noah that she'd end up with someday, but it's clearer than ever that Noah's just not interested in being a one-girl guy. When the small seaplane the three of them are on crashes, August finds herself injured and marooned on an island with ... Noah. Unsure of what's become of Ed, August and Noah do their best to not lose hope as they fight to survive on an island that is not as deserted as they first believed. But fighting the elements - and their attraction to each other - becomes a losing battle. Soon, a secret from Noah's past that could bind them to the island forever is revealed, and August must choose between giving into her feelings for him, or struggling to make it back home.
