ALEXANDRA
He's supposed to house me for the summer, keep me in check from running wild.
I am but a spoiled child in his eyes, nothing but a person who came to disturb his peace. He makes me work, watching my every movement even when I know he has better things to do, when I know he wants nothing to do with me.
He's nothing like the boys in the city, then again, he's not a boy at all nor are we near the city.
Everyday I feel myself going breathless with each touch from him. I feel my heart race as I see him working. I feel each order resonate across my body, making me ache in a way that I know it's wrong.
I shouldn't want him, not when he's my father's best friend.
HEATH
He asked me for a favor, to house his daughter and make her see how harsh reality is.
It was supposed to be easy when she's what I expected with her red shoes and quirky mouth. I shouldn't have an issue telling her what to do when all she does is get under my skin with each comment, when she's making my life harder than it already is.
But with each passing day, it gets harder to ignore the way she makes me feel.
I have to hold my breath each time I'm near her, stop myself from wanting to touch her and do things I shouldn't do.
I'm not supposed to want her, especially not when I'm twice as old as her.

BROKEN VOWS (Lucas & Emilia Book 1)
Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. It's why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return. I'm no longer the "golden boy with a bright future" they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he'd dedicated the past decade to serve. What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parents' property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons. And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn't refuse. Now I can't walk away. Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It's why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them. It's a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I've left in my wake. Like the harbinger of death, I'm the last man either of us should trust. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucas & Emilia's story begins here: Book 1 of their Broken Redemption arc. Each couple's love story in the Broken Redemption Series is told over multiple books and forms a complete arc within this collection of connected romances set in the small town of Ruby Creek. There's no required reading order, but if you'd like to start at the very beginning, you're right where you belong. Lucas & Emilia are the first couple, followed by James & Annelly, whose story begins with Broken Misery (Broken Redemption Series - Book 1 of their arc).Lengkap

Lust OF My Vampire Professor (18 + )
"Please let me go." "No jaan, I want you and your blood." "Let me go." He was looking at her with lustful eyes. ............... I was very happy with my life, but the sadness of my mother always stayed in my heart. I never mentioned her to my dad because I knew he loved her very much, and I didn't want to make him sad. Besides my dad, I had no one in this world. Then, one day, someone came into my life whom I fell madly in love with. He also said he loved me. I gave him my life, my heart, my body, and my soul. I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world, but it was all just an illusion. One day, everything changed. The person I considered my life and my love left me. He had only been pretending to love me. He slapped me and said with a hateful voice, "What did you think? That I loved you? I did all of this just to get revenge on you. Now you will suffer in my confinement for the rest of your life." Tears were streaming down my face. I couldn't believe that the person I loved so much had betrayed me. I missed my dad a lot. I wanted to go to him, hug him, and cry, and tell him that the person I loved turned out to be a cheater. But at that moment, I was also scared to face my dad. At that moment, only one thought came to my mind, "I wish I could just die." ....................
BROKEN COURAGE (Lucas & Emilia Book 3)
While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story.

I quickly turned away from him, to get the hell out of the room. But he caught my arm and pulled me back into his chest. Shit. Fuck.
