Anastasia Williams' life changed completely after the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and her father's suicide. Suddenly, she has to learn how to take care of herself. She finds work taking over a speakeasy called the Shamrock Club. Immediately, a sexist bartender named Ross Calderwood and a carefree flapper named Evelyn O'Neil are thrown into her life. Anastasia has no choice but to tolerate them since they all have a common goal: to get to Great Britain to be with their loved ones. Anastasia feels as if this is the worst thing that could've ever happened to her. But can something good come out of a bad situation? What if the reward for pain and suffering was love? All she needs is a little bit of luck. Cover created by @TheSkittles

It's elusive, and it alone decides when and where to release its precipitation with no regard to the impact of its power. *** Summer breezed into McGrath's Pub like a breath of fresh air. Despite her miserable day and the tepid rain dampening the streets of Harrisburg, she lit up the bar with her bright smile the moment she entered. Rain is looking for a warm body to take to his bed. He spots Summer and immediately approaches her. She has no clue about his plans for her, and he's determined to bring those plans to fruition.

His Wicked Games
A sizzling, contemporary reimagining of Beauty and the Beast...with a wicked billionaire twist. A BILLIONAIRE. A BARGAIN. AND A THRILLING COMPETITION... Lily Frazer would do anything to save the Frazer Center for the Arts--even take on the infamous billionaire Calder Cunningham. When Lily breaks onto the Cunningham estate, she only wants to find and reason with Calder. (All right, all right, she wants to punch him in the face, too, but that's Plan B.) As it turns out, the arrogant billionaire is willing to give her the money he promised, but there's a catch: she must win it from him. And the games he has in mind aren't exactly...innocent. Lily isn't about to give up the money without a fight (or let some haughty bastard seduce her), but she quickly discovers that there might be more to the brooding Calder than she initially perceived. What ensues is a competition hotter than Lily ever could have imagined, and a romance deeper than she ever could have dreamed. But as their games of cat and mouse become increasingly intense, both are forced to face the deeper question: in games of lust and love, what is the price of victory?Complete
