The first time I met General Alexander Reeves, I thought he was exactly the kind of man women should run from. I was right. Just not for the reason I thought. We weren't supposed to be a love story. He was a thirty-two-year-old Supreme Commander with a reputation built on ice and military steel. I was a twenty-two-year-old nursing student desperately trying to keep my sick father alive. It started with a date. It quickly turned into a proposition. One year. Separate bedrooms. No interference in each other's lives. A marriage built entirely on duty and a five-year friendship between our fathers. It was the perfect contract. Completely foolproof. Except for one unwritten rule that neither of us understood until it was entirely too late. *Don't fall in love.* Some hearts just refuses to follow orders

"I'm not bout' to complicate yo life baby, you don't want this." "Elijah, you don't get to choose what I want to do with my life !"

As Faizal showed her around, she often caught him staring at her when he didn't think she was looking. He had been giving her the same look the very first day they met and as flattered as she was that he was sort of attracted to her, 26 was way younger than she would have entertained. The youngest she could do was 30 and even that was stretching it for her because truth was, she liked older guys. Guys as old as Bert Acheampong or even older, as long as they were 15+ years younger than her father. Female mechanic, Sebina, has to make a decision between two men, one younger and one older.

She grew up in a broken home- a mother grinding a 9-5 just to survive, and a father who gave her the world... before prison took him away. As an only child, she learned two things early: from her dad: how to want more from her mom: how to get it herself. But when she refused college, her mother slammed the door in her face, leaving her homeless at eighteen. With nothing but a duffel bag and stubborn pride, she crossed state lines and rebuilt her life from the ground up, earning every dollar under the neon lights of The Velvet Whisper. Comfort. Independence. Control. She thought she finally had it all- until Grim, the silent, dangerous owner of the club set his sights on her. And when Grim wants something? He always takes it.

Book One of the Windsor Triplets Trilogy. These books can be read as stand-alone novels, but it's recommended they be read in order. WINDSOR TRIPLET ONE: THE FORGOTTEN TRIPLET Everyone knows the Windsor Triplets. They're plastered on magazine covers. They're beloved by millions. Except, Carter Windsor is still the forgotten triplet. While the world loves the mask Carter puts on, the ones who are supposed to notice him, don't. His brothers are busy with being taught to take over the family empire. Carter was born last; therefore, there is no use for him other than showing face when needed. Yet, his parents deem him irresponsible. Because he is. Carter Windsor plays himself off as irresponsible and doesn't even realize it. The parties he attends go well into the mornings. The constant instability in his life is starting to wear down. Now, he is being threatened to be cut off by the very people who barely remember he exists. He needs to prove he can be stable. Enter Alastair Yates, the picture of irresponsibility. Another perceived idea of garnering his parent's attention--his brothers' attention. Someone's attention. Carter sees an opportunity to enlist Alastair as his fake boyfriend to appear responsible when Alastair seems anything but. He has a record. He's been to jail more than a few times. He is full of tattoos and bad decisions. Right? Alastair and Carter both seem to have things to learn about the real world and maybe this little ploy is one way to learn. Alastair needs to understand that not every rich boy has everything he needs, and Carter needs to understand there are better ways to be seen. #1-malexmale tag: 2/17/2024 #8-boyxboy tag: 3/2/2024 #4-badboy tag: 3/24/2024
