I never wanted to be splashed across the front pages of newspapers, or have a barrage of hungry paparazzi behind every move I make. I never wanted to be in spotlight, most of all, never wanted red spray paint of X's placed across my face in an angry fangirl's bedroom.
Aaron Herrington came like a hurricane, obstructing everything in his path, to intervene with me and mine, just so he could have his way.
There isn't supposed to be a happy-ending to what we have. Only happy-for-now exists when you always have reporters hounding your private and picking apart your life.
My love for Aaron is all but simple, and I don't think I could ever be happy with a for-now mentality. Even when my devilish prince tells me it will all be okay, I know it won't.
Lia Russo was never supposed to be written in the headlines alongside the name of Crown Prince Aaron Herrington, even when I'd give my all to be beside him, because my all could never be enough.

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 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
The Royal Deal

Conquering Kolton--Sample (Book 2 of The Sovereign Series)
Kolton, the second oldest of the Reifenberg royal family, doesn't want a mate. At least, not for now. He had always been independent, pushing the boundaries of what was expected of him. Eliza DeWitt comes at the wrong - and just the right - time for him to realize that everything he wanted was what everyone had told him all along. Eliza. Fuck. Her hair was down and curling in soft waves to her waist. Kolton's hands itched to touch it, and he gripped the underside of the table until he felt it groan beneath his hands. Letting go before he broke the table, he almost ran from the room. Long locks of dark red swept over Eliza's shoulders, making Kolton stiff as a brick in his trousers. He looked around the table to see everyone chatting, a large grin on Lexi's face as her eyes swept the table, landing on Eliza, then Kolton. Eliza was wearing a long green evening gown, her hair spilling over her shoulders and over the curve of her breasts. The color of the dress was a deep emerald green, and matched her light skin tone perfectly, complimenting her hair and the light blue of her eyes. He watched as Eliza pushed a stray lock behind her ear, and more of the soft swell of her breast was revealed. Kolton averted his eyes, afraid she might spill out of her top and his dick would punch a hole through the table top. This was fucking torture.Complete
Royal Temptation
My heart skipped a beat when I saw fury swimming in his green eyes. He slammed the door and the banging sound echoed throughout the whole room. My back was pressed against the wall. Fear was building up inside of me. I couldn't help but blame myself for this reaction that I was getting from him. I wanted to provoke him. Fury was not the reaction that I was hoping to get. His eyes never left mine. I took a deep breath. I didn't want him to know that I was getting scared. This was not me. Since when have I become someone who would coward away from a fight? I pushed my crown up my head? I fixed it, making sure that it was straight on my head. I moved away from the wall then stood my ground. His jaws clenched as he turned his body entirely towards me. "Did you just dare to embarrass me?" Orion asked me as a humourless chuckle escaped his lips. My hands were on my sides as I held my dress and started playing with the satin fabric to calm my nerves. I was conflicted on how I was going to react to his words. "You call it embarrassment, I call it opinion" I responded calmly. The muscle on his jaw ticked. In a blink of an eye, he was standing in front of me. If he didn't have such a repulsive character, I would have most probably fallen for his looks. The next thing that happened, broke my trail of thoughts. I was pushed against the wall with such a violence that a gasp escaped my lips. His hand held my jaw, pushing my face upwards so that I was forced to stare at him. His breath was fanning all over my face. No one touches me without my permission.
