Claire is riding on her career as her clothing store is picking up and she is getting out of her depressive state. Her 7-year relationship just ended with the man who she thought she would marry. Trying to move on her best friend sets her up with her husband's best friend and he is such an upgrade it feels too good to be true. The passionate dates, the attention and detail to caring about her and she didn't have to care for a man baby. He was his own man.
It wasn't long until her past started to change his mind. Showing up, stalking, taunting and fighting her new beau. She was trying her best to keep her life calm and balanced; but her ex takes it too far and lives are at stake. Will her new boyfriend step up to the plate and deal with this or leave her high and dry to deal with this estranged ex?

In Spite of Love is my first book that I at least see to be a two book part series. This is my first original story, so mistakes are expected but my imagination and storytelling I believe has gone well. Expect love, passion, real life like danger, suspense and some explicit scenes that is meant for those 18+. All of the people in this book are not based off of anyone in real life but all a part of my imagination and story.

Jake Harrison, USC's star quarterback, goes through girls faster than jock straps. If that's not disgusting enough, he's my best friend's brother and my prime motivation for celibacy. Transferring to UCLA means finally getting out of my dad's house. All I want is to stay under the social radar, make Dad proud by earning my paralegal certification, and get out of Los Angeles. When Jake learns I'm nearby, the cocky jerk will stop at nothing to rekindle what didn't work before. He thinks he's grown and matured past the boy who crushed my teenage heart. I think he's taken too many tackles into the turf, but when he proposes a stress management agreement during his season... I can't help but see his point. His seven-and-a-half-inch point.

**Book 2 of the "Love Me" series. Can be read as a stand-alone book.** Do you believe in love? I certainly did not. To be honest, I never cared much for it.

Never in a million years did I ever expect my plans to shatter instantly into a million pieces when Erin introduced me to her best friend, Julie, the most beautiful and luscious red-haired woman I'd ever seen. In an instant, I knew my life would never be the same. I knew then, that it didn't matter who she was or what her past beheld, she will become my future. ____________________________________ From the moment Grace locked eyes on Julie she was in love. She had fallen hard and fast. Grace thought she found the perfect person for her and there was never a doubt in her mind that she couldn't have Julie, for no one can resist her charm, whether it be a man or woman. However, not everything in life comes easily as Grace might hope. Not when the woman you love, is in love with your older sister. Though her feelings were not returned, she continued to stay by Julie's side, hoping that one day Julie would look her way. But seven years later and Grace remains nothing more than a friend. What happens when Grace begins to reach her breaking point and decides to move on with her life? Without realizing that the one person she wanted the most has finally begun to fall in love with her. ****This story contains MATURE content and GIRL ON GIRL action.**** Important: Thanks to all my readers and supporters - Love Me Forever has been officially published as an eBook on Amazon!

[Book 2 in the Secret series] "That's not what I meant..." I chew on my lip. "Well, what the fuck did you mean then?" He shouts. "When I'm there I don't have to think about you!" I yell back. Wrong choice of words again, Sophia. I curse myself. His form immediately stands and he strides over to me, he is now inches away from me, his body is so close to mine that I am forced to take a couple of steps backwards. My back is pressed up against the window. Noah's breathing is deep but he speaks softly, "when you're there all I can think about is you." He raises his hand and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. I step around him and head for the door, "uh I'm going to go to the hospital." I pick up my bag and rush out of the door leaving Noah in the room and saving myself from doing something I would definitely regret and make me change my mind about going back to Pennsylvania. ------------ 'I love you too,' were the last words Sophia heard before she was banished from her home city and she left without a second thought. If she didn't she knew she would be in danger. A month and a half later Sophia returns as a person close to her is in critical condition in hospital. Everyone's eyes are on Sophia, and they are looking for someone to blame. Will she return to her new life and forget about New York once and for all? Or will she fit right back into the McKenzie's life as if she never left? And as for her relationship with Noah, there might be a chance for romance after all.
