You have been warned🛑⚠ *-*-*-*-* Timay Hues is a well-known author publishing book after book, landing her at number one on New York's bestsellers list, but when a sequence of unfortunate events occurs, turning her world upside down and changing the trajectory of not only her life but worse, her career. She undergoes something no author ever wants to go through. The dreaded writer's block. Timay knows exactly what led her to where she is today, but her refusal to talk about it is dragging her down. She's lost her inspiration, her muse but she would much rather distract herself with meaningless sex and a slew of hot men, running away from everything that's happened. Noah Grant, an editor for Grant Publishers, gets sent to Ohio by his boss to help a stubborn, hot-headed author with no filter edit and improve her manuscript. Like Timay, a sequence of unfortunate events, turned his world upside down. What exactly? Only a few trusted people know. He keeps it locked close to his ice-cold heart, refusing to trust anyone with his secrets. Similar to Timay, Noah is only interested in one thing and only thing only. Sex and one-night stands. What happens when these two people cross paths? Will Timay Hues find her ultimate distraction and find the inspiration she so desperately needs? Could Noah Grant, the arrogant, confident, and egoistical man, be the solution to all her problems? Will the ice covering both their hearts manage to crack? The possibilities for these two broken souls are endless. Please note this story contains: * Strong Language * Strong & Explicit Sexual Content ⭐Started: 12/03/2021 ⭐Completed: 04/09/2021

An impossible debt. A dangerous offer. A love that could ruin or redeem them. For her entire life, Amara Johnson has lived in a bubble. Sheltered and coddled by her loving but average family, her world is small, safe, and predictable. That all shatters when she follows her brother to Tokyo for a fresh start. But her brother's secret gambling habit plunges them into a nightmare. He didn't just borrow money-he borrowed from Kenzo Sato, the most feared and powerful Oyabun of the Yakuza in Japan. Now, to protect her brother's life, Amara must leave her quiet job at the bank and work off his massive debt in Kenzo's front: an exclusive, members-only cafe in the heart of Shinjuku. She's out of place, naive, and terrified. And she's utterly captivating to him. Kenzo Sato is a vision of controlled chaos-sharp suits over intricate tattoos, a piercing gaze that sees everything, and a billionaire empire built on power and respect. He is everything her sheltered life taught her to fear. To Amara, he's utterly terrifying. To Kenzo, she's an exotic breath of fresh air-a innocence he never knew he craved. He makes her a new offer: become his exclusively. His companion. His obsession. In return, her brother's debt vanishes and she will want for nothing. It's a gilded cage that promises to lift her from poverty and change her life forever. Caught between fear and a fierce, unexpected attraction, Amara must navigate a world of danger, luxury, and dark desire. Can her sheltered heart survive the ruthless world of the Yakuza? Or will the man who owns her debt also claim her heart?

{18+ COMPLETED} "I don't understand why you won't tolerate the idea when we're both about the same no-strings fun." "Maybe because I just don't like you," I argue. "I don't believe you." Ellis' voice startles me, not just by how low and husky it is, but by the close proximity, his breath fanning over my bare neck. Turning around I inhale sharply at the sight of his pale blue eyes boring into mine, his hands resting on either side of my head against the metal, muscles tensed as he holds himself off of my body. His body is easily double the size of mine, a notion that makes my breath almost stop as he continues to hover there, his face angled down as I trail my eyes over his facial features. Without thinking my lips part, his own mirroring my actions, a sign that he's just as affected by me as I am by him. ---------------------------------------------------- Spin Off. Can be read as a STAND ALONE book... however, it makes more sense if you read The Test of Time first. Becky Gordon has no time for men. Although, she does tolerate some hours with them; non-stop one night stands, one time excursions in the gym locker rooms, swift daytime quickies. She's always been the same, ever since high school. Only once has she ever considered the possibility of something more, but that idea blew up in her face, proving to her that she's better off alone. Yet years later, the very man who made her doubt everything is back, catapulting into her life like never before. He's determined to make things right and won't take no for an answer. She can't deny the things he makes her feel, their similar humor and quick wit, the lust that pulses through her at the mere sight of him. But she's resisted his womanizer ways since high school, and what's really changed since then? Can Becky continue to resist Ellis Wakefield? Or does having a little bit of perseverance really pay off?

Book One of the Drowning Series: "You looked like you were enjoying yourself." Ezra said, twisting the button of my jeans between his fingers. I looked up at him and swallowed. He leaned into my ear and shifted his body closer to mine. "It was... umm..." I couldn't form a thought as I watched his fingertips dance lightly over the fabric. "So, you like watching me play?" He bent down closer, whispering into my mouth. ********************************************************* Eighteen-year-old Riley Davis knows one thing about life, being a little sister sucks.

Sci-fi nut, blonde bombshell, and severely no filter Brooke is ready for a fresh start. Done are the days of trashy boyfriends, who couldn't find the right spot if there were fluorescent signs pointing to it, and deadbeat mega mooches. Not to mention, the one night stands that leave you having to take a mental inventory of exactly what you've brought with you, when you're trying to make a speedy exit. That is until she meets Deacon. The mountain of a man she wouldn't mind trekking up to reach the top. He's the right kind of charming, the perfect amount of flirt, and the first guy who hasn't looked stumped when she opens her mouth to sass. In fact he's lightning quick on the sass himself. There's just one problem.. He doesn't date. In fact, Deacon's specialty is the one night of hot, sweaty fun. Something which Brooke is avoiding like the damn plague. However, when the conversations flow on, the insane attraction grows stronger, and the time spent together gets more heated, will they be able to resist the obvious pull they have towards each other forever?... Or does the man who never dates, have a reason for it that might tear them apart over and over...
