Tall, handsome, sweet, compassionate caring, and smart?
Oh, now you're making me laugh!
But it's true, that's how you would describe Nathan Taylor, the 28-year-old lawyer who took California by storm. Ladies would swoon at the sight of him but he was married to Anette, his beautiful wife of 5 years. Their lives looked perfect from the outside with Anette being the perfect wife and Nathan being the loving husband. However, things were not as simple as that. Nathan Taylor was hiding things from Anette, he carried on with his life like everything was okay when in reality Anette would be crushed if she found out what he was up to. But what if she already knew?
What happens when the 28-year-old Anette takes the law into her own hands and gives Nathan a little taste of his own medicine?
~
"Anette, I didn't think you'd find out about this I'm sorry." The woman said and Anette stared at her, a smile plastered on her face.
"Oh don't worry sweetheart. There's nothing to apologize for. All is fair in love and war."

Fallen Too Deep
MATURE CONTENT Enter at your own risk.... "I'm not expecting declarations of love, nor anything much, really. Hell, I don't even know if I want a relationship. But I can't deny that I want you. Really bad." I admitted it for the first time aloud. "I think it's pretty out there that we want each other, don't you?" A teasing grin played about his lips. "So what do you suppose we do about that?" I eyed his lips and sucked in my own. "Well, you're the first girl that I don't see as a one-time thing so it's not like we do it once and I can just let you go." He said. "Maybe you won't have to." I proposed. "We're both obviously not into a relationship right now, and that's why I think it would be best to keep it physical in that sense and we wouldn't damage our friendship because there was never a relationship to squash it." ******************************************************* With the inability to trust the male population, Sofia Vincenti goes into college with the thought that she would be strictly focusing on school...for a little bit anyway.

Bound By Midnight
One Night a Week Was the Rule... Until Love Broke all the rules. Rachel Worthington never thought she'd be reduced to bargaining with a man like Ethan Blake. A man who moved through life like a shadow, casting a cool, implacable gaze on the world and everyone in it. The billionaire had made his wealth on his ability to control everything around him. And when Rachel found herself at his mercy, she struck a deal - a dangerous one, but one that seemed simple enough: One night a week. In return for a debt she couldn't afford to pay. But one night was never enough. Not with a man like Ethan. Not with the way he looked at her - his gaze so intense it seared right through her defenses. So calculating, so possessive, and yet, beneath the surface, there was something darker, more fragile. Every week, she arrived, knowing what was expected of her. Knowing there were rules. But rules, she soon learned, were meant to be broken.Complete

With The Bad Boy ✔
"I wouldn't mind watching you. Maybe we could tan together this summer." He suggested. "Without having tan lines." I could feel the smirk playing on his lips. I lightly slapped his chest. "Don't ruin my mood with your cockiness." "I think I made it a lot better." "Well, keep going and you'll have to deal with your boner yourself." I teased. "Why does it always come back to my boner?" He asked with a smile playing on his lips. "Because it's just so huge." I said absentmindedly. "Is it now?" He raised a brow at me. I stripped myself away from him and pouted as I folded my arms across my chest. "That's not what I was supposed to say." "Hmm," He nodded. "What were you supposed to say then?" "That it's just as annoying as you." I laughed. SUMMARY: After the death of her father, Blake moves in with her estranged mother and twin sister.

Billionaire's Ex-Wife
"You have everything you ever wanted. I show you I love you, I tell you everyday too. Moneys not a problem, you have no spending limit. I don't understand. I give you everything!" He muttered angrily, slurring over his words but by now he'd sober up enough for me to make out what he was saying clear enough. I opened my mouth to speak but before I could say anything he beat me to it, "I give you everything. Don't I? Are you not happy?,-" he turned around, his eyes locking with mine. They were red and full of tears, it broke my heart seeing him this way. "Or is it not enough? Am I not enough?" his voice was cracking, and a single tear slid down his cheek. He quickly wiped it away and snuffed his nose, blinking the remaining tears away, his expression going cold. "and this is how you repay me.-" he scoffed, "-I can't believe you, you whore! Get out of my house! Now!"He yelled in a tone I'd only heard him use towards those he despised or worked for him. I couldn't believe this was happening. I quickly wiped the tears that were fogging up my vision and walked towards him. I extended my hand to touch his shoulder, but before my hand could even get near him he grabbed my wrist, harshly. "Nate please, let me talk!" I begged, looking into his emerald eyes filled with anger, pain, and hatred. "I said GET OUT!" He screamed jerking me towards the door, his hold on my wrist was tight making me wince. I felt something trickle down my arm reminding me of my gash from earlier. "Nathaniel stop your hurting me." I dug at his hand with my nails using my free hand trying to loosen his hold. He let go of my wrist and opened the door in front of us. -- One random night, Lilians life turns upside down after she's accused of adultery.

Indecorous
(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right.
