Wicked Little Words
They promised it was just fun. No strings. No feelings. So why does it feel like everything? At twenty-two, Sloane doesn't have room in her life for heartbreak. Between nursing school, long CNA shifts, and raising her daughter, she barely has time to breathe-let alone fall for someone. So when Braden, a friends boyfriends cocky, charming best friend, makes it clear he's only in it for fun, Sloane agrees. It's safe. Easy. Exactly what she needs. Until it isn't. Because somewhere between the stolen looks, mind-blowing sex and late-night banter, Sloane starts to want more. And without realizing it, so does Braden. But Braden has ghosts that won't stay buried. And when the girl he once claimed to love whispers a lie that cuts too deep, he doesn't just believe it-he uses it to break Sloane in the cruelest way. By the time the truth comes out, Sloane's heart is in ruins, and Braden's the one left bleeding. He never meant to fall for her. He never meant to lose her, either. Now he's ready to fight for the only woman he's ever really loved. But some promises can't be undone. And Sloane might be the one thing Braden can't win back.Complete

What's Not Mine
"I'm fucking Ryan, yes mom, dad, he enjoys it when my dick is buried in his ass. Is that what you wanna hear?" "Samantha is right, I AM GAY! And I'm sleeping with my sister's fiancee" ________ Some loves are loud-burning bright, impossible to hide. Others are quiet, dangerous, and hidden behind closed doors. Joey never thought his would be the latter... until Ryan. To the world, Ryan belongs to someone else. To Joey, he's everything-every glance, every lingering touch, every stolen night that feels more like a dream than reality. But when need and desire takes hold and one reckless call one night with Ryan threatens to unravel everything, Joey realizes he might just lose the man he loves if he gives in to his family's advice for therapy. Caught between secrets, desire, and a heart that refuses to let go, Joey must decide-will he keep loving in silence, or risk everything for a love he's not sure is his to claim?
