"We could just . . . *do it*, you know," he says now, teasingly.  "Clear all that sexual tension up with one quick ten minute session?"

I seriously hope he's joking, but I'm not certain he is. Either way, I can't prevent the exasperated huff of laughter that escapes my lips at those words. "You must be dreaming if you think there's *any* sexual tension between us," I scoff. "Anyway, I'd rather not be another notch on your bedpost, thanks very much."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ruby Rafferty has won the ultimate prize - a luxury holiday in Crete! In theory, it couldn't be more perfect - endless sun, Greek food, an unlimited free bar . . . There's only one problem.

The man she has no choice but to share the prize with.

Lewis Sheridan may be ridiculously attractive, but he is also cocky, cynical, and comes complete with his own specific set of red flags. He's everything Ruby has never wanted in a guy, and she's not sure she can survive *one* day alone with him, let alone ten.

It's *fine*, though . . . Their suite is massive, the cocktails are flowing, and Ruby can't help but notice how handsome and charming the hotel manager is. If only he didn't think she and Lewis were already a couple . . .

Will forced proximity push our vacationers closer or further apart? Can enemies really become lovers? And what will happen if anyone realises they're technically on holiday under false pretences?

I guess we're about to find out . . .

51 parts Complete Mature
I'm not ready for what I see when I walk in on my girlfriend of three years, Sienna Rowe, having sex with my best friend, Will Aderly. It shatters me. It causes my entire world to fall apart. So, I do the one thing I can think of. I escape to Amethyst, the strip club where I know I can disappear in pussy and forget my troubles. But when I wake up to images of me surrounded by strippers, Cristal, Chardonnay, and Lexus, it's not a good look. So my publicist calls in the crisis manager, Everly Hunter. I'm not expecting her to be so fucking stunning. With her long brunette hair and emerald eyes, it's like she sees through me, to the true me. I can't have it. So, I push her away. I use everything I have to make her feel bad about herself. But when she leaves me to clean up my mess, I realize what I've done, the mistake I've made. I need Everly in more ways than one. -Aston -- Who does he think he is? He's a pompous, arrogant asshole with no regard for anyone else. I only took this job to help my sister, who's in rehab. Otherwise, I wouldn't put up with Aston Thomas, the world's most pretentious man. But I need this job so I agree to help him clean up his mess. His photo is splashed everywhere, fucking strippers. It's not a good look. But I can fix this. I know I can. I pride myself on my work. But I must draw a line in the sand when Aston pushes me away, doing his best to undercut everything I've worked for. Despite his pure blue eyes, sculpted muscles, and those sexy tattoos, I know that I won't take abuse from him anymore. So I go home, back to Seattle. Never mind that he's on my mind in a big way. I need to forget about him, forget that he ever existed. -Everly (#1 in Billionaire) (#1 in EroticRomance) (#1 in Sexy) (#2 in Craving) (#2 in Steamy) (#2 in Soulmate) Content/trigger warning: This story features mature, sexual content and violence. © All Rights Reserved
A Vegas Mishap (#2) by lovebirds15
42 parts Complete Mature
I stared at the person sitting on the chair in front of me. That instant I realised that I didn't know this person at all. This was not the person I have been living with. This person just looked like that person. There was nothing same except the looks. The pose, the expression, the emotions in the voice, nothing matched. I couldn't believe that it is the same person. "Doesn't mean anything?" I asked with a low voice as anger filled me. "Yes, it was only a Vegas Mishap." ********************************************************************************** When Ophelia Russo traveled from Italy to the United States, she had no idea what was going to happen to her. Wanting to forget all her worries and the stress of managing a fast growing business, one night she finds herself in a bar in Las Vegas, and in the company of the very handsome businessman, Ethan Welsh, who himself is on a vacation for a break from his womanizing life in Greece. Two hot people, one lively night in Vegas and a few drinks down, what do you expect to happen? No, no. If it was just a one night stand that had happened, it wouldn't have been this bad. What had actually happened was no less than the worst nightmare for Ethan and Ophelia. Suddenly, it becomes more than just a vacation for the Italian girl and the Greek man when they wake up married to each other. What follows is a love story, you think? It's a messed-up destiny, I bet. After all, it can't be just A Vegas Mishap. ************************************************************************************************** Warning: Contains mature scenes and swearing. May contain sensitive topics or some violence. It includes morally gray characters. Note: This is a standalone book but a part of a series. Can be read in any order.

I can only see half of his face, reflected in the mirror at the front of the bus, and part of that is obscured by the peak of the black company-branded cap he's wearing. But I can see enough to glean that there's a strong jaw covered in scruff. A wide mouth that looks like it would be prone to smiling. He's wearing glasses with trendy light tortoiseshell frames, and I can't quite discern the colour of his eyes from my position . . . but some weird intuition is telling me that they'll be hazel, and I wonder when my brain is going to catch up. Because I *know* him, don't I? I'm almost certain of it. And he seems to know me, too. Or at least he thinks he does. The way he's glancing over at me lets me in on that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mirren Shepherd has *many* pet peeves. Top of the list, though? Staycations . . . And surprises. So when her girls' trip abroad is cancelled at the last minute and she finds herself roped into a minibus tour of Northern Scotland instead, she isn't remotely happy. And when she finds out who their guide is . . . It's yet another reason for her to dislike surprises. Because Owen Sullivan wasn't so much the one who got away . . . He was the one who just didn't return. And, after she finally got over him, she never expected to see him again. Mirren would prefer to leave the past in the past, but Owen is determined to try to right his wrongs. Can she trust him? Can she trust *herself*? Maybe, just maybe, this surprise - and staycation - won't be as bad as Mirren thinks . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~
