Ellington Percival Price is a minor scientific celebrity, but a major megalomaniac, convinced he deserves more fame and glory than have so far come his way.  When he opens his morning paper and sees his name mentioned in connection with a murder, he decides it's the chance he's been waiting for.  He'll make himself a suspect and milk the attention for all it's worth, whether that turns out to be his own prime time series or three hots and a cot on death row.

Also, I'm worried I might  have some  'point of view' problems with this thing.  If you notice any, please point them out.  Thanking you in advanceAll Rights Reserved

Blood vs. Water by stellathedingus

In a world of predictable stories, this particular one is anything but... Daphne Jackson, unemployed and unmarried, was forced into a nuisance. And as headstrong as she can be, she was in no control over what dangers she has been tangled into. Aurelio Romano's rather ominous business forced him into New York, but because of his nationality he could get caught and deported back to Italy where further investigation would lead them to find everything. He goes to immense measures to ensure his cover of innocence, security and legalism. As Daphne get's more and more involved, hidden mysteries become solved and the ugly truth surfaces. A powerful Mafia leader and a pertinacious young woman. What could possibly go wrong? ------------ Daphne sucked a breath when she found herself trapped underneath the muscular Aurelio. He looked her deep into the eyes and bend down lower into her neck. "This is what you wanted, yes?" She shivered underneath his weight and lifted her hands up to his chest. Suddenly the playful mood in her was all gone. His hand caressed her thigh up to her hip, and it didn't help much that she was in very short shorts and her shirt had ridden up halfway in the fuss. She felt his... every ...touch. Oh, how she had the urge to kiss the man right now, but she couldn't move. She had never been in this situation with a guy before. Much less a one like Aurelio. He looked at her, like really looked at her. It felt to Daphne like he was staring into her soul. What was he going to do now that he had her trapped? "You have my attention Daphne. Now what?"

A BITTER TASTE (#2 STEAMY CHEF SERIES) by StephRose1201

A morally grey former cooking show producer meets a grumpy, Floridian chef, and their unwanted sexual tension leads them into a fake-dating scheme that might ruin both their reputations. ***** Grace Gallagher was disgraced by her demeanor towards famous chef Béatrice Balzac, so she flies back to her hometown of Sarasota, Florida, to start all over. Problem is, her bad reputation follows her there, and causes nothing but trouble - whether it be with old friends, future employers, or her big-wig, nosy lawyer parents. When Grace lands a gig as a front-desk person at an up-and-coming cooking school, she celebrates by sleeping with a grumpy but gorgeous woman she found at a bar - and later discovers that this woman, Melinda Monroe, is none other than her new employer: the owner & lead chef of the cooking school. As a close friend of Béatrice's, Melinda obviously loathes Grace. But in order to save the school from ruin, she needs Grace's help: for her to pose as her girlfriend to convince her ex--an investor for the school--to donate more money. Grace also has to deal with the aftermath of her actions in L.A., and try to prove to all that she was manipulated just as badly as Béatrice; all while balancing her growing feelings for a woman who will never like her back. Can Grace redeem herself all while enabling more schemes, and hiding her true self yet again? Or is she destined to take the fall and forever be known as "Grace the disgrace"?

Love Will Tear Us Apart by Hazeldenise1986

I've lived a life of fear, depression, sorrow, bondage and feeling caged by my childhood. Now I am stepping into adulthood and I thought all that would change. Sure I will still have issues but nothing I couldn't get through with time right? ("Wrong") Danger came knocking at my door and I was hopeless but to do anything but fall and become a victim again like when I was a child because I was weak and scared. Until I am introduced to one of my best friend boyfriend who looked like a Wall Street trust fund gangster. He introduced me to my bosses boss, Camillo Costello-Capone. When I look into the tall sexy Viking archangel's stormy smokey gray eyes I didn't think that this godlike man ever seen a bad day or knew what it was because in his wealthy semi-royal life everything was giving or handed to him or he would and could take it. Boy oh boy was I wrong about him wrong about it all. If I once felt dead and broken when I met him I became alive and whole but being loved, wanted, needed and desire by him would only make me wish for death or something close to it.

Release Me by anna_rose01

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.

Burning Desire (Lost&Found Series) ✔ by swritess1

This is book two in the Lost&Found Series but can be read as a stand alone. *** I heard the bag drop on the table before he grabbed my elbow and spun me around. His hand cupped my chin as he made me look in his eyes. "So much anger, piccola raggazza." he said as his eyes darted back and forth between mine. My lips parted as I looked in his grey orbs which he inherited from his father. Sharp, defined jaw and pointy noise with his upper lip thin and bottom, thick. "I'm not angry at you. Your presence and absence are of little importance to me." I stated and looked away. "You grew up in my arms, I know you like the back of my hand." he told as his thumb applied pressure on my jaw to tilt my face towards his. I blinked and looked at him blankly not wanting to give away the fact that I was literally melting in his arms like a puddle. "You're not worthy of my any emotion or feeling. You're mistaken if you think I care." I stated in a matter of factly tone. *** Returning home after four years, Sylvia Mancini will encounter a lot more than she has anticipated. Her life's about to take a complete 360 turn and Adrian Knight just so happens to be the reason why.
