This story takes place in the same universe as my 49th Floor Novels. In Book 1, Saving the CEO, our heroine Cassie spends a lot of time deflecting the attempts of Danny, her best friend, to get her to come to his mother's hobby farm for Christmas, where his hippie parent is undergoing a back-to-the-land themed midlife crisis. Of course, by the end of book 1, Cassie gets her happily-ever-after (because, hello, romance), and Danny is left to face Christmas alone in with his mom and her vegan soy yule loaf. So when a handsome neighbor dangles the prospect of a respite by the fire--complete with mashed potatoes--how can Danny resist? You don't have to have read Saving the CEO to read this story--it works perfectly fine as a standalone. And, conversely, there aren't any spoilers for Saving the CEO in it (except, of course, that it ends with a happily ever after, which, again: hello, romance).

Disaster-in-Waiting NOW AVAILABLE TO BUY ON AMAZON
WARNING R-RATED Disaster-in-Waiting was a dream come true for me. Firstly writing it and then sharing it on here and receiving such a wonderful response to it. It was because of the support and encouragement on here that I finally took the decision to self-publish as an e-book. It is available on Amazon and can be read for free on there with Kindle Unlimited. ****Mature audience only due to adult themes; sex, language and situations**** Eloise Ross is married to Michael, her much older and recently retired husband. He fills his days with golf and walking the dog, while she fills her days working as a newly appointed P.A. to the CEO of an international company. One night, disillusioned with her sexless marriage she goes out alone, drinks beer and dances with a handsome stranger. The moves on the dance floor quickly lead to passion and excitement like El has never known, but it was only one night, one time. Just that once couldn't mean anything, could it? Just that once changed her view on everything she'd ever thought she'd known or valued; her home, family, husband and marriage, but most of all herself. As her life begins to unravel, with twists and turns that make her laugh, cry and despair El has only one constant to hang onto, her handsome stranger. "Because I don't want to end it. I'm not exactly what you'd call experienced," I said with a warm flush creeping up my cheeks. "I thought everything I had, with Michael was an ideal life until that night, when I met you and something switched inside me, a realisation that it was as far from ideal as anything ever could be. I don't think I'm being clear here, sorry. I am not trying to pin my happiness or the consequences of this on you, God, I don't even call you by your first name so to expect anything of you is not realistic!"Complete
Milk-ing Love Proposal
Love Pattranite is just your average, overworked events manager trying to help her best friend, View, escape another dreadful blind date. The plan? Show up in her place, ruin the date, and get View off the hook easily. However, Love unknowingly crashes the wrong blind date. And the person sitting across from her, staring in shock, is none other than Milk Pansa company's icy, no-nonsense CEO. Love is mortified. Milk is amused. Meanwhile, Milk's grandfather is completely exhausted from Milk rejecting all the blind dates and has finally had enough. "Fine. You don't want a man? I'll give you a woman!" Unfortunately, Love's spectacular date-ruining skills only make things worse. Grandfather mistakes Love for Milk's actual date and, in an unexpected twist, decides: She's the one! Before Love can process what's happening, she's roped into a business marriage proposal-all because Milk needs to fend off further matchmaking attempts, and Love just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time (or the right place, depending on who you ask). What starts as a convenient (and completely fake) engagement soon turns Milk's meticulously organized life into absolute chaos. Love-clumsy, unpredictable, and absolutely unfiltered turns every formal event into an experience, every board meeting into a spectacle, and every attempt at faking romance into something way too real. The worst part? Milk doesn't mind at all. Inspired by Business Proposal Cover Photo Credits: @turn_word (saturn_)Complete

Just Desserts- GxG
It's Christmas Eve, and I should be celebrating it by finding a "ho ho ho" to take "ho ho home." That way, I could stay warm between her thighs. Maybe even add our names to the top of Santa's Naughty List. But of course, I have a perv for a boss. He gets his jollies on his work computer. The computer contracts viruses that he doesn't know how to get rid of. He insists he needs it working before Dec.26th, and I already have Christmas Day plans. Since I'm a contractually obligated IT, and his go to debugger, guess what? I'll be spending Christmas Eve in an empty office building. At least, I thought the office would be empty. It didn't occur to me that I would have company until I saw HER car in the lot. Ah yes, Camry. The Director's young, long legged PA with a face like an angel and a body to sell your soul for. She's hot enough stop winter in its tracks. Or keep me nice and toasty while I work. Except, Camry won't be doing a damn thing for me. She's straight. She's probably sleeping with our boss. She's stuck up. She hates me. I hate her back. I just can't figure out why. Where does all her animosity for my studly charm come from? I've never done anything to her...have I? It turns out, I have. And now my boss's gorgeous assistant is owed my atonement. She wants my submission. I'm not the type of masc lesbian that spends much time on her knees. So what happens between Camry and I tonight, well... I guess we'll call it a Christmas mistress miracle. ****This is a (bi-racial) stud/fem lesbian, erotic, short story involving revenge and elements of BDSM through masculine submission. It's not pure smut but there's a lot of it. Fair warning.*****Complete
