They came to Earth. A dying race with one solution... Human females. Compatible with our DNA. The only hope for their survival. Earth's leaders refused... and started a war that shattered the planet. Twelve years later, the last unmated females are still being hunted by the men who were supposed to protect them, and by the silver-skinned aliens who never left. I survived by staying invisible, by fighting, by refusing to break. But the Valtherian who tracked me for the last two years was done waiting. And when he finally claims me, I'll have to decide if the monster who watched me from the shadows... is the only one who can save me.

"The first rule of living together is that there is to be no more sex between us." Matt slapped a paper against the bare white wall, securing it with a piece of tape. "See it, memorize it, practice it." From my seat on one of the many cardboard boxes scattered around the apartment, I protested. "But what if-" "No," he said firmly. "No more sleeping together. I don't care how badly either one of us wants it. If this is going to work, then we need to get over the temptation, and we can't very well do that if you're crawling into my bed every night. Understood?" Sex. Living together but not technically dating. What could possibly go wrong when best friends Addison Miller and Matt Jones decide to room together even though they are both secretly hot for one another? Add in the temptation of Matt's cheating ex-girlfriend, Vanessa Adams, trying to win him back, and it's a recipe for disaster.

She's got great friends, a cool dad (or so he thinks), and a whole lot ahead of her. She understands that her first kiss is a rite of passage, one that she takes very seriously, even if everyone around her doesn't. She wants it to be special-true love's kiss-and wants to fall for someone she really cares about, not just get it over with. Then her best friend Patrick challenges Sara to a bet that will either lead to love or heartbreak. Or maybe embarrassment? Maybe all three. And the more he teases her, the more she wants to prove him wrong . . . that maybe her first kiss can be memorable and special and fun and life changing.

One of the most powerful man in the world. He was called Octavius. Cruel, coldblooded, and completely unobtainable. The Devil in a Brioni suit. The mere whisper of his name was like lethal poison that burned through the hearts of millions. Penetrating, and clear amber eyes that made grown men weep, and women burned with seduction. Behind the curtains, no one knew what he looked like yet he was always in control. It was a reputation he had fought to establish, one that brought him power, wealth and just about... everything. When a series of unfortunate events lands her into the very strong, powerful arms of Octavius, it was everything she'd been warned about. The beautiful brute, Octavius, moody and controlling in every aspect. She had never met a man as brutal, and stormy as him, someone she couldn't help but sprout wild, random phrases to, and offer hugs. A man that always gets what and who he wants because that's how his life works. Until it doesn't. Until he stumbles into a five-feet angel with the sweetest smile, and adamant about being friends. - preview - "Has any man ever made you so crazy you thought you'd die if you didn't get his cock inside of you? If you couldn't feel his fingers digging into your thighs as he spread you open and devoured you whole? Have you ever come over and over, so hard and so many times you couldn't be sure where one ended and the other began?" His strong, veined hands gripped the backside of my bare thigh, tracing over my skin, itching higher and higher and I could feel a deep ache building inside my lower region. My mouth slacked, at a loss for words, all I could do was whimper softly under his possessive touches. "Answer me." Big, forceful hands caressed my chin, almost gripping my neck, only retracting as I let out a tiny breathless sigh. His dark deep amber eyes were on fire with a carnal sexuality that I had never seen before. "Use your words."

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ The TV series "Strippers Need Love Too" follows Ecstasy Haynes, a vivacious Bajan bombshell in Atlanta's most notorious strip scene, determined to turn her stage persona into a real future. At just 23, she wants it all: money, status, and true love. But when a shocking massacre brings chaos to the club and forces its sudden closure, her fast-track to financial freedom is cut short, leaving her scrambling for a new plan in a world that sees her as disposable. Torn between two fascinating men━Diondre Walker, a talented, charismatic entrepreneur with a messy past, and Zeus Garza, a high-profile, Trinidadian male model whose allure is as dangerous as it is irresistible━Ecstasy finds herself walking a thin line between temptation and destruction. Both men want her, and 𝗻𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 will back down. The deeper she falls, the more her ambition drowns in fixation, betrayal, and 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱. This isn't your average love triangle; it's survival━where every dollar, every dance, and every decision could cost her everything. In a universe where strippers are underestimated and men play dirty, Ecstasy's greatest weapon isn't her beauty... it's her ability to outsmart the game. @GLOSSNEILES ON THE COVER ART.

But when the two constantly bump into each other on their daily runs, avoiding each other becomes nearly impossible and the two are drawn to each other more than either will admit.
