Hector O'Halloran looks like the ideal catch, but he can never keep a romantic relationship on track for long. Women quickly tire of his self-centred style. They need to move on, find someone who does not confuse love with exploitation. But no matter how much they try, they cannot shake the compelling desire to transform needy, demanding Hal over into someone they can love. Is it love, or co-dependency? Is Hal beyond redemption, or does his inner child need more TLC? When he tells the woman of the moment that he can't live without her, is he expressing his need for deep connection, or is everything he says pure manipulation? Four very different women discover that they have one thing in common -- Hal-itosis. The past cannot be re-set, but is there hope for the future. Rankings April 19, 2022: #! disillusionment (of 136) #2 reality check (of 195) #3 antiromance (of 142) #3 healthy relationships (of 56) #4 codependency (of 213) This story is an anti-romance of sorts. Romance is the icing on the cake, not the whole meal. The tale of Hal and his exes includes sexual situations and mature themes. If you are looking for a blow-by-blow account of frenzied sexual activity, you will be disappointed. If you are interested in life and love and how sexuality fits into them, you might find this a refreshing read. Disclaimer: Edmonton and Calgary are real cities in Alberta. The Muttart Conservatory is a well-known landmark. Gananoque is a small picturesque community in Ontario. All else is fiction. Any resemblance to actual organizations, businesses, people, or situations is purely coincidental.

COMPLETED Olivia Washington is running away. Not just from her life in New York, not just from her old job and not just from her past... She has packed parts of her life into boxes, and she is going headfirst to the first opportunity of a new life, all the way in Massachusetts, where the world-famous Raphael Castillo, owner of CASTACKS has hired her to be his personal nurse and caregiver. It's a dream job until the perks come in the form of his tall, handsome, olive-skinned, Italian billionaire son, Leonardo Castillo whose arrogance irks her in the worst way and yet... draws her to him in the best way. One very first and explosive encounter sends a whirlwind of emotional backlashes, heated moments, drunken mishaps, dark secrets, and lustful and forbidden acts into play. It's passionate. It's dangerous. It's a type of life she would not have lived had she not kissed those lips of his, had she not let him touch her with those gentle hands, had she not let him draw out her deepest moans. Even though he had a heartbreak reputation. Even though he would rather be spotted dead than with her in public. Even though he had his own demons that would throw them into chaos over and over. He was fire and she played with it... amidst the growing tension of family secrets between father and son, and the risky health of her employer. But when the heated moments are no longer just moments, and the forbidden actions don't feel so forbidden, Olivia must decide how long she can play this game to keep her job, as wounds start to open, secrets start to spill and danger comes to light.
