May Fredericks hates New York. Which is fair enough, since New York seems to hate her back. Just weeks after moving from Wisconsin to Manhattan, she receives the world's worst marriage proposal, stabs her boyfriend with a shrimp fork in a very public venue, and accidentally becomes notorious. And that’s before she gets mugged. At her wit's end, May washes up at a Packers bar in Greenwich Village, where she meets a surly, unhelpful guy who hates her shoes and calls her ex a douche. His name is Ben. He used to be a chef. Now he's a rooftop beekeeper with anger management issues. She wouldn't even like him, but he reminds her of home … and he knows where to find all the best food in the Village. She makes him laugh. He buys her tacos and cowboy boots. The longer they’re stuck together, the better May and Ben get along … and the harder they fall.

Blaire Landers is not your average sixteen year old. Already, she's committed countless crimes and has been arrested over multiple times. Living with her dad, and stepmother who wants him all to herself, Blaire's learned to just forget about everything. But When Blaire crosses a line that sends her packing for Camp Bradford - A "Place for Troubled Teens", Blaire knows for a fact her summer's not exactly going to be fun. Blaire's not worried about making friends. She's not worried about camp rules. No, because Blaire Landers only cares about herself. At camp, Blaire is the chick everyone gossips about. Blaire is the girl majority of the campers are afraid of, and the one all the guys want. Does Blaire care? Nope. Not one bit. But once she meets Spencer Rivers, the well-known 'bad boy' of the camp who basically owns the place, Blaire realises she's come face to face with a gorgeous criminal who has made his pick. Her. And she's not about to give him the satisfaction he expects to get. Or so they both thought. It's Blaire's first year going to Camp Bradford, but it doesn't take long for her to realise how the camp really works within the kids. When the counsellors aren't looking, it's not Camp Bradford, named after the owner.....but Camp Rivers, considering how Spencer seems to run the place with his overly-arousing good looks and sex glow. All the girls love him, all the guys basically worship him, but not Blaire. No, Blaire's got her own game to play. This girl isn't your average delinquent camper, and she realises that it may be time for her to end the flood of Spencer Rivers.

Jas gives me a sympathetic look. She sighs heavily, long nails tapping against the wooden table, dodging the 'Missing' posters scattered all over the surface. "Maybe," she finally says, "Just maybe, he doesn't want to be found, Ava." I clench my jaw. "No. I refuse to believe that. He's not like that." "What do you know?" Jas snorts, finally withdrawing her hand from the table and turning back to look at me. "You don't even know him." xx Ford Wilson was in three out of four of Ava Jackson's classes. They had one mutual friend, did a project together once in sophomore year, and had the same lunch. When Ava's car had broke down, she had even ended up parked outside of Ford's house, asking for gas. In Ava's life, he was everywhere. And yet, she didn't notice him until he was nowhere to be found.

**Note to readers: This is a five chapter preview to this erotica/romantic comedy. It will be available September 22nd 2015 on all major ebook retails for 99 cents. Preorders are available now.*** **Warning: This novel contains mature content, and is recommended for 18+** Lauren Michaels is exhausted with the push and pull of copy editing for Los Angeles’s woman’s magazine, Frenzy, which caters to pop culture, style, and above all, sex. She wants to write for the magazine rather than edit, but her boss is convinced that Lauren’s conservative tendencies won’t fit in with the risqué nature of what Frenzy is about. Convinced to make her mark, Lauren begs for the chance to prove her self. Her boss agrees, tasking her with the impossible, in hopes of failure, because although she doesn’t want her to become a journalist, she doesn’t want to lose her as Editor-in-Chief, either. Her daunting mission? To investigate the growing popularity of sex clubs in Los Angeles, and figure out how the sensual underworld functions. Out of her element, Lauren starts her search with pen and paper in hand at a local sex shop, hoping she’ll find a trail that leads to the dark lairs of sex and fetishes. Trying to hide her inexperience, and pretending she’s a professional sex kitten, this trail instead leads her to one brooding, Nathan Sanders. He’s daunting, charming, and a little too dark and mysterious for her taste, but Lauren knows he’s what she needs as her way in. What she doesn’t see coming is that Nathan is all too willing to invite her to a nightclub she’s only ever heard stories about, and also the fact that Nathan know’s Lauren doesn’t have a clue what she’s getting herself into. However, he can’t turn down the idea of helping her out with her research once she confesses the whole story. This could be fun, they said. There’s no harm in it, they agreed. Little do they know, a little research can serve up some unexpected results.
