Caroline Proust's husband may have died, but her immorality never did. The resident adulteress of her small town called Dewbrook, she began to hatch a plot that involved the seduction of a wealthy neighbour, Harold Wells, after the threat of losing everything she had came to her door. Although he had always been against the idea of marriage, she believed that she could seduce anyone, and he was even kind enough to welcome her into his home with no questions. The plan was supposed to be easy, but the arrival of Stephen Rochester, who had just made a fortune through gambling, into her neighbourhood, changed it completely. Trying to avoid the suspicion of Harold's sister, Rosemary, having to deal with the righteousness of Stephen's wife, Mildred, as well as working hard to protect her reputation from falling apart at the seams, she starts to realise that her life will never be what it once was and that her lies may swallow her whole.Creative Commons (CC) Attribution

Sleight of Hand [Show 'em Who's Boss #1] by EmilySophieRose

Two people sit in a dimly lit room playing a deadly game of fate. What led them to this game and who will win? We all have secrets that we don't want anyone to know; even ones we keep from the people we're closest to. When a dark secret is unlocked, Ebony Williams turns against her absurdly rich father, refusing to listen to his persistent reasoning and pathetic excuses. What he's done is wrong and unforgivable. Rather than just running away from home, over-confident Ebony plans to get her own back by scamming her father out of his entire fortune with the help of her not-so-perfect boyfriend and one of her father's biggest rivals. (This was previously called Show 'em Who's Boss.)

!!!PAPERBACKS LIVE ON AMAZON!!! After her father's passing, Soleil moved to the fancy house in the suburbs that he left her. She called it the perfect parting gift. With a fully paid for house and less bills on her shoulders, it'd be easier to focus on her career. What she did not expect to come with the house was the grumpy man who lived next door. After countless failed attempts to talk to him, Soleil figured it was best to stay on her side of the yard. But when a storm strikes, the last place Soleil thought she'd seek shelter was at his place. The last person she thought would be so thoughtful and tender towards her was him. He's a good catholic. He swears to behave. A line has been blurred, one that was never truly there. And temptation would be the death of him, and his well-mannered values. Even if temptation was a young woman with legs for days.
