**********************************************************************************
Ever the Good Samaritan, Liz never hesitates to help out anyone. . . after a few strong shoves from her saintly mother, of course. One day, Liz volunteers to pick up her little brother from soccer practice with surprisingly little prodding. The fact that she was promised Taco Bell and a pass on taking out the trash is irrelevant. But when she meets a mysterious stranger in the park where she may or may not have been stalking him, Liz promises to become Mother Theresa if it will make attractive boys fall out of the sky and into her lap. Although he seems charming, the hot guy from the bench in the woods is obviously hiding something. Mafia involvement? Drug lord father? Abandoned on a church step in a cardboard box? Only time will reveal the truth to be something far worse yet infinitely better than Liz ever dared to hope.

The Deal
(Seven years ago) (Sean) "I will help you with your debts if you do something in return for me." (Skylar) "You can't help me... In case you haven't noticed I'm swimming in debts." (Sean) "I am very much aware of your debts. I'm not saying that I will pay all of them but I can give you enough money for you to pay them gradually." I sigh and I sit on the chair. He sits in front of me, resting his elbows on his knees and his chin on his hands. (Sean) "I know everything, Sky... I can help you." I have no choice... (Skylar) "Okay... What do I have to do?" One night, a stripper meets a hot suited guy. He chooses her to serve him but what happens when he decides he wants more from her? Will she give in to his touch? * A mature story that contains strong language and sexual content.* Note: There is a photo on each chapter. I suggest you don't see it if you're not old enough. *wink* **I realized that this doesn't happen in many books, or none (I haven't read a book where this type of writing was used) but I want to let you know that during the story and when the characters speak, the person's name is in between brackets before the speech. Simply because it would probably get confusing if there wasn't anything that could distinguish who is talking after the speech. I hope you find it convenient during your reading.**Complete
Bare for you (French Mafia Romance)
Cash I fucked up. Or rather, I'm fucked up. How did I, a high ranking member of the French mafia, allow myself to be distracted by this... stripper? I was supposed to use her for information, that's it. It should have been easy. I pay her money and she tells me about the Russians. Simple. Except, I fucked it up. I let the one advantage we had over them go because I fucking claimed her. What's even worse is that she hates pretending to be my woman and fights me with every single thing. Yeah, it's a fucked up situation but now that I've met her and she's mine, I wouldn't change a goddamn thing. Lux I fucked up. I knew the risk of the Russian men finding out about me but I went along with it anyway. Hell, I almost had to. If you were offered $10,000 to ask a man a few question, would you turn it down? You're a goddamn liar if you say no. Or maybe you're smart as hell because now I'm stuck with a mafia man that refuses to leave me alone. I'm now in between a war I never knew existed. If I had the chance to go back and never meet Cash, would I do it? You damn right I would. Who am I kidding? Now I'm the goddamn liar.Complete

"Do you think you can live with good intentions? Didn't you have all the time you wanted to change and learn? You still dare to ask for more!" He yells at her with hatred, he blamed her for being the one will cause a woman to be beaten; He didn't want to be that kind of man. However, what he lived with her caused him to bring out what he hated the most about himself from within. -Forget it love- said a woman who was next to her- it's not worth it- this dog was supposed to be her friend, she was supposed to support her just like she did; however he managed so that he and she hated each other and thus be able to steal it.

The Tale Of The Brit And The Bad Boy
Meet Cherry, the girl who really isn't much of a girl to be completely honest. She's nice, cheerful, cheeky in an incredibly childish way, is a looks-like-a-kitten-but-is-actually-a-tiger type person. She has a twin brother that drives her totally nuts and a mother that is caring but will laugh in your face when you get told off by the school's headmaster. Upon finding out about her father's promotion overseas in Florida, her life takes a wild turn, for better but also for worse. Now meet Brett, the guy who thinks he's a big bad boy, when really, he is the looks-like-a-tiger-but-is-actually-a-kitten type person.

Mayhem, that's for sure. --- *READ AT YOUR OWN RISK* - THIS STORY IS CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING -Complete
