Restoration architect Giada Manahan's heart has begun to resemble the adobe walls she loves. At least that's what her friends say. But Gia knows better---she's just being cautious. After all, as a single mom, her kids are her first priority.
But one drunken night, her friends push her into a trippy crystal healing ritual. Gia thinks it's a joke . . . until a few days later, she finds a half-naked stranger in her bed.
Hot, tatted anthropologist Alex Roces is exactly the kind of guy Gia should avoid. But when they end up sharing a house, Gia finds Alex's charms increasingly difficult to resist.
Will Gia continue to keep the walls around her heart? Or will she finally give in to its demands?

Whispers in Secret
*** A Steamy Romance *** Ella Montgomery is a fiercely determined law student at Oxford University, juggling her ambitious studies while harboring an undeniable secret crush on Lucien Storm, her father's charismatic best friend. From the moment she first laid eyes on him, Lucien's magnetic presence ignited feelings within her that she desperately tries to suppress. She understands that her future hinges on her education, not on the fantasies of being swept away in his arms. Unbeknownst to Ella, Lucien is equally captivated by her. As the head of a powerful mafia family and a trusted friend of her father, he finds himself torn between his growing desire for the spirited young woman and the weight of his responsibilities. The forbidden nature of their feelings creates a tension neither can ignore, even as they try to maintain a semblance of normalcy. Lucien often finds himself lost in fantasies, imagining the feel of Ella's warm body against his, her nails tracing the intricate tattoos that tell his story, and the way her mouth would taste against him. Each thought is both intoxicating and torturous, as he grapples with the consequences of pursuing a romance that could shatter the bonds of friendship and loyalty. As they both navigate their intense emotions, they face the daunting question: Can love flourish in the shadows of secrecy and loyalty, or will their desires lead to heartbreak and chaos? Their journey will test the limits of their hearts, challenging everything they thought they knew about love, power, and the sacrifices they're willing to make for a chance at happiness. In a world where danger lurks at every corner, Ella and Lucien must decide if they are brave enough to confront their feelings, or if the pain of unrequited love will ultimately consume them both.Kumpleto

**WATTPAD HQ EDITOR'S PICK Nov/Dec 2021** BOOK ONE in the STEAMY FORBIDDEN ROMANCE series Coralie Watson, a British thirty-year-old living in San Francisco, has a tormented past with men. Physical and mental abuse, abandonment issues, incompatibility--she feels like she just can't win, and constantly swears to herself that she'll remain single so she can focus on her burgeoning singing/songwriting career. After twelve years in the United States, she often regrets leaving London, her friends, her habits, and dreams of what life might have been like had she not moved. As she slowly settles into a new routine--and has, so far, kept her vow to stay celibate--her past refuses to give her a break. As she reencounters a former boss she'd had a crush on, someone else resurfaces into her life after many years of silence--a boy she met at fifteen, that she'd had deep feelings for. But now he's all grown-up and irresistibly handsome. She always considered him the "one that got away", and is shocked when he confesses he feels the same way about her. The problem? He's a successful business man who can't afford a scandal, he's married to a supermodel wife, and has two beautiful daughters. Yet none of that seems to stop him from making Coralie promise that next time she's in London, they need to meet and catch up... What's the harm in that? ♥♥♥ This is a work of FICTION. It will have fairly explicit language & sexual content (but I'll put warnings at the top of those chapters, in case those make you uncomfortable--though, hey, YOU CAME HERE FOR THAT, DIDN'T YOU?!)Kumpleto

Forbidden, small-town best friend's little sister romance I've known Desiree since she was five years old. And now that she's all grown up, parading her luscious body around me while her brother is out of town, I'm not so sure how much longer I can resist her. She drives me crazy, and the longer she's in my presence, I don't think I can control my hands or filthy mouth around her any longer. Only, there's a huge problem; she's my best friend's little sister. I've wanted to make Desiree mine since I kissed her on her eighteenth birthday. But her brother, Dante, and my best friend threatened that if I were ever to do that to her again, I'd be sorry, and said if I didn't wish to lose my lifelong friendship with him, I'd know what's good for me if I kept my hands and mouth to myself. But I've got some dirty little secrets--ones I know Dante would kill me over if he ever found out what I've done and hidden from him over the years. Now I need to figure out if losing a friendship with him is worth going after what I want. And since Desiree returned from college sporting a massive rock on her ring finger, I need to decide if going after her is worth it. Credit for cover: www.artfulcover.comKumpleto

He tilted my chin to face him again and he whispered. "Say it, darling." "What?" I whimpered out. "I am yours and you are mine." He stroked my cheek with his thumb. He brought his lips to the base of my jaw and started kissing down. "I-I am yours." I was breathing heavily. "And you are mine." Damien came back to my face, smiled, and kissed my lips again. *** Naya Belle Gardner has been through a lot. In less than a year she lost her entire family and was sent away to a rehabilitation center. After being cooped up in there, she was just released. She decides she should get far away from there and moves back to New York. She wants a new life. Her plan was to stay in her small apartment, find a job, and hopefully make enough money for a good living. However, that doesn't go as planned once she meets him. Damien Amante is the local gang leader of the Scarlet Vipers. He's mean, rude, and doesn't care about anyone else's feelings. Before quite literally running into the new girl in town, he only lived life for sex and fights. Once he met her, though, that all changed. It seemed like the universe wanted them to end up together, even after trying to push her away with the multiple rude comments. Will Naya let Damien treat her like that? How will she deal with her past coming back to haunt her? To what extent will he go to protect her? This isn't a story about finding love. Rather it's a story about fighting the obstacles that try to end it. #1 in Promise (12•10•21) #1 in Gangs (6•9•22) #1 in HimandHer (3•19•23) #9 in Love (6•9•22) #2 in Laugh (5•15•22) #2 in Hot (1•5•22) #8 in Sexy (1•5•22) #2 in Party (1•9•22) #8 in Darling (1•7•22) #2 in Leather Jackets (1•12•22) #2 in Damien (1•15•22) #2 in Naya (6•1•22) #4 in Couple (2•20•22) #6 in Motorcycle (4•4•22)Kumpleto

My right hand met his left cheek brutally, stopping all that he had to say. "How dare you?" I hissed, landing another smack on the same spot. "How could you do this to me?"
