A quiet Italian village. A girl trying to save for her future. A man trying to remember who he is. And one summer that will burn itself into their skin. Emma thought this would be just a job. A sleepy little hotel in the northern countryside. A way to save up for art school and escape the weight of expectations. But when she crosses paths with Alessandro - a young American with a camera, a complicated past, and eyes that seem to see through her - everything begins to unravel. Tangled between lingering desires, unspoken regrets, and the raw tension of summer heat, Emma is pulled into a web of feelings that aren't safe... and maybe were never meant to be. He came to find inspiration. She came to find freedom. But neither of them expected this. A story of love, lust, and the inescapable pull of a season that changes everything.

He needs a noblewoman, but the one he wants is a lady's maid. Garrick Alexander Attenbrough II, The Duke of Windstrom, is in search of a wife. Not of his own accord, but the insistence of his mother, the Dowager Duchess. Garrick has been running his Duchy for a few years, alone, with the exception of a few tussles under the sheets. Since he isn't completely opposed to the idea of marriage, he agrees, but no one has sparked his interest. That is until his married sister, Lady Victoria visits with her husband, the Viscount, and Garrick lays eyes on her lady's maid. Estelle Morrow Blythe has spent her life in service of others. Though she feels lucky that her ladies have been mostly kind, and Lady Victoria treats her like a friend as much as she can, her life as a lady's maid has always been a bitter pill she had to swallow. Then she travels with Lady and Lord Thompson to stay with the Duke of Windstrom. The way he looks at Estelle makes her feel nothing she's ever felt before, but there is no way a lady's maid like her could ever be with a Duke. And she had heard much about this one... When fleeting touches and heated glances stoke the fire between them, Garrick and Estelle will have to decide if they can stand together in the face of society, or if they'll let it all crash and burn.

Toronto, 1954. The city hums with neon, jazz, and whispered secrets, but for Selina Carter, a young Black woman trapped in the polished confines of her respectable life, it is suffocating. Married to a well-meaning but distant husband, Selina carries the unspoken grief of a childless marriage and the ache of desire that goes unmet. When her car breaks down on a quiet summer evening, a stranger comes to her aid-a man of rough hands, quiet authority, and a dangerous, magnetic presence. Reed Sullivan owns a small mechanic shop in the city's shadows, and from the moment they meet, sparks fly that neither can ignore. What begins as polite gratitude quickly turns to stolen moments, lingering glances, and a hunger neither has felt before. Their affair is intoxicating, charged with erotic tension, secret laughter, and the thrill of the forbidden. In his arms, Selina discovers a passion and tenderness that her marriage has never given her; in her, Reed finds a vulnerability and longing that unsettles him entirely. But Toronto is not kind to women like Selina. The affair threatens not only her reputation but everything she has been taught to value-respectability, family, safety. And Reed, brooding and fiercely protective, demands a reckoning: a choice between the life she knows and the love that could destroy them both.

"Can't you just turn it on?" She huffed irritated tapping her foot anxiously. Her red bottom heals were too nice for a place with uneven pavement, tire marks, gas and oil all over the ground. She was humiliated being seen here in this sh*tty shop but she had no choice. She was already running late for her shoot. Kai stared back at her blankly and rolled his eyes in annoyance. The entitled impatient brat was giving him a major head ache. Such a beautiful f*cking headache this woman was and he just met her.

The heavy smell of cigarette smoke couldn't even mask the metallic smell of aged blood beneath the floor boards. These were dangerous men. Boys with knives and painted skin.. ~ We laid in the darkened room letting the comfortable silence cover us. His tattooed hand lightly stroked the moist skin of my arm. Yuji was beautiful.. "I'm going to hell..." He said nonchalantly. My eyes danced along his strong jawline and shoulder length, tapered hair. Currents of silky, onyx hair. "I've touched such a pure soul with unclean hands..." He sat up, climbed to his feet and grabbed his silk robe from the door, concealing the Oni and blossoms that adorned his back.

She was the undesired outcast, who stood out, yet simultaneously blended effortlessly into the background. I could see the panic in her glassy brown eyes as she prayed her way through the crowded hallways. She'd tightly clutch that cross around her neck, full lips whispering, asking her God to spare her from their scornful glares, hateful comments, and the occasional rough-up. Silly girl. Did she not know that he was not listening and he would never save her? Like Jesus, she was the sacrificial lamb. The anxiety-riddled girl would burst through the doors of the school's library with her chest heaving, heart racing, and sweat dripping from her temples. I'd watch her from the shadows as she stored her items behind the check-out counter, preparing for her free period she spent assisting the school librarian. I clenched my teeth, watching her wheel a cart of books throughout the aisles as she cheerfully hummed her Sunday hymnals. She wore a green and blue pinafore dress that fell mid-calf on her shapely body. She attempted to hide that body from me with oversized clothes, but you could never outfox a fox. They spoke pure blasphemy when they labeled her undesirable because I desired Jezebel Holmes in the worst way. Those opaque white stockings our classmates teased her for wearing did nothing but spur countless hours of fantasies. I'd dream about ripping her tights apart, right at her center, revealing her virginal cotton white panties covering her untouched paradise. I'd yank them to the side and taste her fear in her cum. Her stockings would find themselves strangling her neck while I fucked a believer out of her. I would be the one she'd pray to absolve her of her sins. I would be the one she would seek protection from. I would be her guiding light. I would be her God. #1 in Dark Romance #1 in Tainted Love #1 in Preacher's Daughter 1st Place in General Category - Hearts Award
