The Affair
Cassie Turner never thought she'd be the kind of woman who cheats. She had a good life. A husband who adored her. A marriage that should've been enough. But then Zane Reed walked in-tattoos snaking across his skin, piercing green eyes full of danger, and a presence that made it impossible to look away. He was temptation in its rawest form, and Cassie? She was already too far gone. One touch, and she was undone. One night, and she was lost. What started as a secret spiraled into something she couldn't control. Passion. Lies. Guilt. And a love that was never meant to last. But Cassie wasn't the only one keeping secrets and soon she realized that she hadn't been the only one breaking their vows. Now, she's standing at the edge of everything she swore she'd never ruin, faced with a choice she should have made long ago. Because in the end, it was never about him. It was always about them. And she just hopes that she isn't too late to fix what she broke. ******** "Fuck me like I'm famous," I smile against his lips. "Then scream for me like the paparazzi's watching" he said as he thrust forward. ********* THE AFFAIR contains mature themes, including erotica, explicit language, and mental health struggles, which maybe upsetting for some readers.

A Heart Untamed
Lady Lyra Wynthorne has spent her life in the shadow of her father's power, protected by his influence and sheltered by her status. As the only daughter of a High Lord, she's always had everything she could ever want-except her freedom. When she learns that her father has arranged a marriage for her, Lyra decides to take her fate into her own hands. Running away from the life she's always known, she ventures out into a world far harsher than she imagined, determined to prove she's more than the spoiled, reckless girl everyone thinks she is. Sir Lucian Dorne, her father's most trusted knight, has watched over Lyra since they were children. He knows her better than anyone-or so he thinks. As her childhood friend and protector, he's seen her wild, impulsive nature, and he believes she has much to learn about the realities of life. Never did Lucian expect Lyra to disappear, nor could he have predicted the sorrow and emptiness that would fill the void she left behind. Months later, when Lucian finally tracks Lyra down, he's shocked to find that the damsel he once knew is no longer in distress. Lyra has changed. Hardened. She has found a new strength and independence in the face of hardship, and she no longer needs saving. As Lucian sees her with new eyes, he begins to wonder: how can he protect someone who doesn't need protecting? And when he discovers the true reason she fled, Lucian is forced to confront his deepest fear. What does a knight do when the damsel he's sworn to protect is ready to fight her own battles? And more importantly, what happens when that damsel is the woman he's been in love with all along? In this story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, Lyra and Lucian must face the truth of who they are-and who they are to each other.Complete
