Dona was never the kind of woman to play by the rules. When her father died, leaving behind an empire that many thought was too big for her to handle, she proved them all wrong. She stepped into his shoes without hesitation, determined to command the same respect-and fear-that he once did. Her charm was her greatest weapon, her beauty a tool she wielded with precision. Men underestimated her, but Dona used that to her advantage, luring her rivals into her traps and making them regret ever thinking she was anything less than deadly. Every move she made was calculated, every risk carefully weighed, as she built her power, eliminated her enemies, and claimed her place at the top. But just when she thought she had it all under control, he showed up. The son of her greatest enemy, the one man whose presence threatened everything she had worked for. Their encounters were charged with tension-sharp words, dangerous stares, and a pull neither of them could resist. As old wounds reopen and new battles begin, Dona finds herself walking a razor-thin line between ambition and desire. The world she's built is a treacherous one, filled with betrayal, power plays, and secrets that could destroy her. But Dona has never been one to back down, even when the stakes are higher than ever. 2021©

*WATTYS WINNER 2024* Mateo Casparij is masquerading as an aloof mountain man on a self-imposed quest to avoid anything likened to sex or a relationship and he's come to love his quiet Coloradan life in the snowy ski town of Crested Butte. There's just one problem with his new life. Maia Jefferies. The painfully beautiful novelist that lives in the cottage next door. And he has a terrible, awful crush on her. Her infectious smile, witty banter and voluptuous curves make him want to break his vow of impotence and be whatever she needs. Maia is on deadline for her next novel and after a nasty breakup with her former muse and the man she thought was her Prince Charming, she's been struggling to craft a romance worthy of her best-selling author status. Yet, spending time with her neighbor, Mateo, appears to be doing the trick to help her overcome her writer's block and against her better judgement to never work with a muse again, she hires him to be her inspiration. And as her story flows, so do Maia and Mateo's feelings for each other. But when Maia's ex comes crawling back and Mateo's past rears its head, the two will have to face the feelings they've been trying to ignore or risk losing the love they've been looking for all along.
