*Mature Audiences Only Please ?* There are times I wish I hadn't met Mr. Cane. I wish I hadn't developed a crush on him. I wish he hadn't picked me up that one night, when my entire life seemed to spiral. I wish I hadn't touched him. I wish I hadn't kissed him. I wish we hadn't made love... He's handsome and wealthy, and has no business messing around with a girl like me - a girl half his age. But that isn't my biggest problem. My biggest problem is that he's my dad's best friend, and I was never supposed to fall in love with him. ** Please Note: This story is only the first 11 chapters of the full-length book.

Time and distance haven't taken the edge off his preoccupation with June, the spitfire daughter of his father's rival. He hasn't forgotten their time together and all the things they did and didn't do. One look at her has him reconsidering the future and making a dangerous deal to win her over. Is a chance at her heart worth risking everything else? *Formerly published as Misadventures of a Virgin

The final product will be properly edited and published. Also, this is a dark work. I go places writers often don't like to go, so if you are easily offended, please find something else to read. Characters often surprise me as I'm writing and I endeavor to stay true to them. Just because a character does something doesn't mean I agree with it or endorse it.*** I will not be publishing any more chapters on Wattpad as the book is to be released August 24, 2017.

This short story/novella can be read as a standalone. I originally wrote this short story for the Moments in Time Anthology and though it used to be on Wattpad, I had to make it private when the anthology was published. Unfortunately, I'm a noob and couldn't figure out how to make the story public, so I decided to redo it. Dark Paradise is now called "Esteban" and is in it's complete and fully-edited form. It even has a pretty hot cover by Hang Le. Please note: Esteban/Dark Paraside was written before Dirty Deeds and Dirty Promises and is set before then. It shows the "good" side of Esteban Mendoza...although if you've read The Dirty Angels Trilogy, you know the bad outweighs the good. And then some. If you want more of this world, please pick up the Dirty Angels Trilogy: Dirty Angels, Dirty Deeds and Dirty Promises. Also note: this is a very graphic book with one scene in particular that got it banned from Wattpad. If you object to anything related to violence or graphic sex, please DO NOT READ. This is your official warning.
