Chicago, 1921.
Gangsters roamed the streets in their organized crime sprees. Flappers danced the Charleston at the local nightclubs. Prohibition barely stopped anyone from having a good time. Maxwell's Club, a speakeasy located in the Windy City's quaint neighborhood of Lincoln Park, was the place to be for anyone who wanted their fun in the form of bootlegged liquor.
In present day Chi-town, Gavin Maddox is the sexy owner of many bars and clubs around the city and its suburbs, continuing to be one of Chicago's richest and most desired bachelors. He's made sure to buy up the property that once housed the infamous Maxwell's to transform it into a booming nightclub and possibly revive the reputation of this very popular old hangout of the city's former rebels and criminals.
When Mia Fairmon shows up in his life, he's thrown for a loop. She is the shy, but self-assured personal assistant to the marketing director of Ashford Marketing Firm who is in charge of promoting Gavin's new club. Due to continuous meetings prior to the club's opening, Gavin and Mia have met each other countless times before, but she never dared to pursue her obvious attraction toward the entrepreneur, despite his arrogance and "I always get what I want" attitude. Club 21's grand opening, however, seems like as perfect a time as any to see what's in store with her and the handsome businessman.
But Gavin and Mia's budding romance seems to be stirring something sinister within the new club. Dark secrets that loom in the former speakeasy's past look to surface from its walls as well as an evil spirit that is out for revenge and is dead set on targeting Mia.

Getting to know him again[SEQUEL]
"I would like you, Miss Walker, to be my niece's nanny because she seems to have taken a liking to you," he said after puffing out the stream of smoke he inhaled from his cigar. Miss Walker?! I searched his eyes for a sign of recognition and familiarity but couldn't find any. Does he not remember me? I felt my heart shatter into pieces, not believing this could actually happen. "Hello," he snapped his fingers. I looked up, hoping I didn't have a distraught look on. "I would pay you $10000 per week and offer you an accommodation in my house to see to her every need. If you would sign this contract to seal the deal," he pushed a contract note towards me. I cleared my throat before speaking. "I would l-like to... take.. sometime. to.. think..about..it," I said quickly and walked, ignoring the shock look on his men's face. I walked out of his office and entered the elevator. How could he treat me like this? I thought about him for six good years, and here he was acting like he didn't know who I was. My chest tightened as I walked out. I blinked back to stop the tears.

"Please," I whisper, my voice trembling as tears prick the corners of my eyes. "Please don't hurt me." The words barely escape my throat, fragile and desperate. He studies me for a moment, tilting his head slightly, almost as if he's amused by my plea. Then he scoffs, the sound sharp and mocking. "Why would I want to do that?" he murmurs, his voice smooth but carrying a dark undertone that chills me. He takes a step forward, and instinctively, I step back. "I've just found you..." He pauses, his gaze dragging over my face like a predator sizing up its prey. "And now you're mine." Aurora Evans leads a life of simplicity. Eat, work, sleep-her unchanging regimen is her sanctuary, and she has no intention of altering it. But what unfolds when a shadowy figure, lurking beyond her windows, takes an insidious interest in her? One glance at her in a café ensnares him, rendering him captivated, his singular ambition becoming clear: to claim her as his own. Aurora's attempts to escape his shadowy games are futile, especially in the cloak of night when he emerges, weaving his spell under the cover of darkness. He teases, entices, and pushes her perilously close to her breaking point. Her resolve is to distance herself as much as possible. Yet, fate has a cruel sense of irony. When she is abruptly dismissed from her previous job, she unwittingly lands a position working for him-as his assistant-entangling her in a web she can no longer evade. *A STALKER ROMANCE* #1 in "assistant" 12/23/24 #1 in "criminal" 3/8/25Complete
Spiral Knot (An Office Dark Romance)
Have you ever touched yourself, Miss Hawthorne?" He leaned in and dragged his tongue slowly along the shell of my right ear. My head was growing fuzzy with lust. "Yes," I breathed. "How many times?" "Multiple... multiple times," I answered shakily. "Who were you thinking of when you did it?" he teased, voice thick with dark pleasure. I almost moaned his name but barely held back. "No one." "No one?" He grabbed both of my breasts fully, squeezing them firmly in his large hands. "No one," I repeated weakly. "Have you ever..." He paused, rolling my stiff nipples between his fingers, tugging them lightly. "Done it in front of a man?" I gasped sharply. "No." "Do you want to try it out?" he mumbled hotly against my flushed skin. I heaved hard, my entire body trembling with need. "Answer me." "Yes."

The Strip
Sienna Antoinette Harper had spent twelve years running from her past; now 28 she'd built up walls around her heart trying to keep people out and keep her heart hidden deep within. She'd even gone to court and changed her name legally. Somehow she had managed to straighten up her life enough to attend college and graduate at the top of her class in Accounting. And when her sister, who was also her best friend and works for Addison Technologies in Las Vegas, reaches out to Sienna letting her know that she'd secured an interview that would most certainly end up as a full time job. Little did Sienna know that her past and present would collide and perhaps endanger her future. Roan Michael Addison was a billionaire CEO of his own company Addison Technologies and owned one club on the Strip in Las Vegas. He was a workaholic and didn't have time for relationships. He never saw the same woman twice, he never treated them badly but they understood once they were with him that was it. Much to the chagrin of Roan's twin brother, Cade, who was totally different. He encouraged Roan to settle down but he just wasn't feeling it until she walked into the elevator at his company and then again at his club Leviathan one night and his feelings started to change rapidly. He didn't understand these feelings and tried to fight them. The harder he fought them the more he was pulled in especially when he found out that she not only worked at his company but was the best friend of his brother's fiance, Lisbeth. Would he be able to uncover what it was about her that pulled him in like a moth to a flame? Could he help her break down the walls she'd worked so desperately to construct?
