A burlesque joint built for an evening of laughs and lust among other activities. But across the way alley way, the Richards run another type of business. A casino.

Tempting the Tycoon
Meet Sydney Hughes. Even though she's a knockout, she hasn't had a steady boyfriend since college. She's been too busy tending bar at her dad's neighborhood pub since her mom died a few years ago. Though she has a degree in hotel management, she enjoys helping her dad with the business. Her infectious smile, sense of humor, and lively showmanship pack the bar every weekend. Enter Alexios Verga, co-CEO the Midas Touch, the latest hotel and casino to crowd on to the Las Vegas Strip. While his brother runs the hotel, Alexios is responsible for the casino and entertainment. Which aren't doing particularly well, since he prefers to frequent the Strip's lounges with his latest hottie instead of manage the business. Until Daddy lowers the boom: raise the hotel bar's revenues or start taking orders from his younger brother. The first time Alexios enters Jimmy's Bar it's so crowded he can barely get inside. It obviously has something he hasn't thought of for his casino lounge. And that something turns out to be Sydney Hughes. Alexios is fascinated with Sydney's ability to take drink orders, schmooze with the patrons, and and entertain using flamboyant moves more in keeping with a magician than a bartender. It also doesn't hurt that he's drawn to her fresh, girl-next-door looks and personality, so unlike with whom he normally surrounds himself. But when he makes her a lucrative job offer she flatly turns him down, unimpressed by his good looks or his credentials. Unused to rejection, he goes around her back. Now that Sydney works for Alexios, she's even more the ice queen where he's concerned. And he finds himself obsessed with the sexy bartender, thinking of her morning, noon, and night. Is Alexios capable of changing his playboy ways and winning Sydney's trust? Or will this be his last call?Complete

The real question is what did she do? ---------------------------- I turn around to close the door but something or more like someone is blocking me with their foot. "Hey, can you move your foot?" I ask but the person doesn't make a move to open or close the door. Suddenly I am pressed up against a wall near the door. I hate being manhandled. "Let me go! I will hurt you if you don't." I say with as much courage as I have. "Oh, Alexandra. You don't scare me one bit." A guy says in a deep voice. "Who are you? Why are you here?" I ask the two questions in my head. I then take a whiff of the air and know that this is a high ranking werewolf. Probably a Beta or Delta. "I am the one to bring the alpha what he wants. And if it wasn't obvious I am here to take you to the alpha. You are a rogue after all." The guy says behind me in a tone that makes me want to run from him but punch him at the same time. "But anyway before you get any ideas...This is going to make it easier to carry you without you struggling." He says then injects me with something that burns in my blood stream. I then fall into his arms unconscious. -------------------------------- Started book: Feb. 24, 2018 Ended book: July 19, 2019 ------------------------------- Started editing: Nov. 2, 2019 Stopped editing: ? -------------------------------Complete

Pernicious
"The things I could make you feel" He whispered as he delicately tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear that must have come out of the loose bun while staring right into my eyes with his green ones that were filled with hunger. Goosebumps erupted all over my body. I was at a loss of words, surprised by his delicacy.

Being this close to this asshole clouded my senses." I mean I've to get back to work." He smirked lightly, amused by my nervousness. I stepped away from him and my back met with the wall behind me. I averted my eyes away from his and started walking through the hallway towards the bar. When I reached the end of the hallway and was about to take a turn, I glanced over my shoulder. He wasn't there anymore. Rest of the night, I was trying to push him away from my thoughts. // pernicious /pəˈnɪʃəs/ adjective having a harmful effect, especially in a gradual or subtle way.

Sacrifice For The Job
(This story is mostly smut as I plan on my next release being more innocent and lacking in that area. It also focuses very little on side characters since I wanted to keep the story short after feeling like my more recent stories have been a bit too long) After having the glow up of her dreams, Aria Hart finally believes she can get and do anything she wants. With that in mind, she goes after the job her ill uncle had always dreamt for her. She knows it will make him proud and believes pretty privilege will work in her favor. To her surprise, when she finally speaks to the man in charge, Elijah Caddel, she realizes that pretty privilege comes with a lot more opportunities than she previously imagined. Not all of them great. Aria finds herself in a deal she would have never imagined. One that actually makes her scowl upon hearing it. But when that deal can make or break her promise to her sick uncle, she feels she has no other choice but to accept it. After hearing the severity of the terms and experiencing it firsthand, Aria can't decide how she feels about their new agreement. Or how she feels about Elijah. (Similarly to "No Good For You", this story only details the start of their relationship. Not the during.) (Warning: this story is for readers 21+, intense smut scenes and language are included. Reader discretion advised.) (Story does switch POVs)Complete
