"Sean - I - No - We can't date." She stood abruptly, bumping the table, making the bottle tip over. "I - No!" She stared at me like a small animal caught in the middle of the highway. Sean's rich. He's powerful. He's inherited his family's legacy ... the money ... the mansion ... the bloodshed ... but he's lost the only thing he ever truly cared about- his wife. He didn't think he could love again. He never tried. He wasn't looking ... then her. The new dancer at his strip-club is clumsy, smart mouthed, a terrible waitress and her performance on stage is ghastly ... but she's good at capturing his heart. Jessie never planned to be a stripper ... but life happens. She's on the run, hiding out, concealing secrets and the gentlemen's club on the wrong side of town seems like the perfect place. Denying Sean's advances are hard ... but she has to, because the truth would not only break his heart ... but possibly end her life.

BOOK FIVE. DUE FOR MAJOR EDIT Olive Howe doesn't need to prove herself to anybody. Independent. Cool. Classy. She knows what she's worth, even if life is determined to show her she's wrong. Battling health issues, she wishes, if only once, not to burden the people she loves with her out of control seizures that take over her life. Olive has had enough and is determined to chase her dreams. Courage. She is bursting with the stuff. And it's caught the attention of a certain, blue-eyed, blonde haired, football playing, Larsson. Just because Dexter Larsson is the youngest brother, it doesn't mean he's got less fight. Born into one of Europe's wealthiest families, it's always assumed opportunities are laid out on a silver platter for him. This is not the case. Hard work and determination secured him a position with Manchester United football team. It's all of his dreams come true and he knows in order to earn the respect of his teammates and fans, he needs to avoid distractions at any cost. Especially sexy distractions that come in the form of his physiotherapist, Olive Howe. But, it's hard to stay away. Her sweetness an addiction to him. A sugary-too sweet for his own good-addiction. Olive is good with her hands and Dexter needs the relief. Daily. Too bad he's too absorbed in the bubble of football and fame to realise that losing her would be the end of him.
