In a realm where the distinction between love and manipulation is perilously thin, Lucas, a brooding con artist, finds himself ensnared in a chaotic relationship with Vivian, an older woman who has groomed him in the ways of deceit. The arrival of the innocent and compassionate Ellie as their maid stirs something within Lucas, drawing him to her warmth and simplicity and creating a rift between his loyalty to Vivian and his growing affection for Ellie.

As Lucas struggles with the emotional scars of his past and the controlling hold Vivian has over him, he must navigate a labyrinth of lies and hidden truths. With Vivian's overpowering presence threatening to engulf him, Lucas is compelled to face his own inner demons and reevaluate what true freedom entails. Amidst the stifling atmosphere and manipulative dynamics, a fragile bond begins to form between him and Ellie, offering a glimmer of hope in a life shadowed by deceit.

Set against the backdrop of an art gallery that conceals their illicit activities, this story delves into the intricacies of desire, the fight for independence, and the pursuit of redemption in a world where appearances can be deceiving.

One day you're happy, and the next, a freak accident exposes your boyfriend's dirty little secrets in the worst possible way. I lost the man I loved, my trust in people, and my home in less than one afternoon. At least I know that I've pushed past unimaginable pain before, and I can do it again. Elijah didn't break me, just my heart. 💔🔨 So, the LAST thing I needed was to run into my ex's best friend, Gray on the street. Who cares if he's hotter than lava? Gray's a cocky jerk who seems to get a misguided kick out of making my blood boil. And did I mention the guy's got a chip on his tattooed shoulder even bigger than his inflated ego? Unfortunately, I just found out that I accidentally hired him to work on the BIGGEST campaign of my career!💀 But when Gray's prismatic eyes fill with heartfelt apologies, I don't know how to feel. It's messing with my mind, my career, my new friendships, and worst of all, it's hurting what's left of my ruined heart. I thought Gray hated me, but I was wrong...There is something much, much stronger that binds our fate. 🥊💕 This book contains adult themes (aka sexy stuff and trigger content) as well as Oxford commas and the occasional grammatical error. 🥊💕 **This is a complete story that I am currently in the process of editing, so feedback, notes, and helpful comments are always welcome.

Just when Aurora is finally taking control of her own life, everything seems to be falling into chaos. She leaves behind all that she's ever known to take a chance at life in an entirely new place. But America is nothing like England, and its inhabitants even more so. Trusting her brother to help her adapt, Aurora accepts his offer to stay with him and some of his teammates. Seven of them to be exact. She quickly comes to realize that her comfort-zone doesn't exist here, and everything is big, scary, and intimidating. Just like her brother's best friend. Maddox is Aurora's polar opposite, which explains the magnetic pull that he seems to feel for her. He knows that he's bad for her, that the bad in his life will only taint her purity, like a drop of ink in water. Maddox doesn't know what to think about the new girl, but he does know that he thinks about her way too much. He knows that he can't sit by while she struggles, and life in Greenville is sink or swim. Aurora's been thrown into the deep-end without a life preserver and the only thing keeping her from drowning is a tattooed hand reaching out to help her.

This is a seven-chapter preview of a full-length published novel. Buy links: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XQYVSVV Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/breathe-76 iBooks: https://itun.es/us/d_Yajb.l Check out the companion novel, Whisper! Free on Wattpad. ********** A GOOD MAN, FALLING APART Small town police officer Simon Labelle repressed his attraction to sexy shopgirl Leona Chaisty for years. He's good at controlling his feelings--or he used to be, before the bombing that he can't solve, that he should have prevented. Now, after a chance encounter with Leona at the lake, Simon can't get her out of his head. All those high school fantasies roar to life. A BAD GIRL, WISHING FOR MORE Leona is drawn to the intensity in Simon's pretty-boy blue eyes, but he's a good man, and she's not just hopelessly kinky--she'll never know how to love. Still, unlike everyone else, Simon acts like she might actually have a heart. The more time they spend together, the more she wishes he were right. A CHALLENGE NEITHER CAN RESIST After a second unsolved case pulls them together, their sexual chemistry rattles them both, and hints at an unsettling fetish that Simon struggles to suppress. Leona pushes Simon to decide what he wants--whether to dominate, submit, or some mix of both--while Simon, already falling for his dream girl, finally gets her to admit that she's lonely. Each challenges the other to reveal more, to cede control, to be vulnerable. But they're both more fragile than they appear. It's only a matter of time before one pushes too hard, and the other breaks.​ ********** Trigger warnings for depression, suicidal ideation, and possibly alcoholism. Significant child abuse (neglect only) is also part of a character's backstory. There is gender-bending, femdom, and a pretty scary control-based fetish. There is also off-screen violence and death, and mild on-screen violence.

Joaquin Perierat is an aspiring war photojournalist who breaks up with his college sweetheart to travel to the Donetsk province in Ukraine to live with a woman he met on a dating site. It's 2013, and Ukraine, a country he knows nothing about, is going through an identity crisis. Violent demonstrations are taking place in the capital against the government and angered protests are erupting in the east against the country. Donetsk wants to break up. Joaquin can't. He needs to find that story to advance his career and justify the breakup. This first installment of the "Flaws" trilogy explores identity, honesty, regret, sex, and deception. The riveting novel is for the reader looking to travel vicariously and discover underground societies through the eyes of a reluctant hero and a lover in denial drawn to chase adventure. Some Reviews: "You created such a real character!" "The writing is fluid, there is more story than you're led to believe and Joaquin's introspection is much more detailed, more adult and beautiful. His way of seeing things is gentle, even though he is so young." "A book that gives you that cold feeling in your belly and pain in your heart. It hurts. It's a book that makes you ache. His confusion hits you hard." "The action moments are so well written and detailed, you can perfectly see every detail, every feeling, sensation, feeling, color. As if you were there. It could easily be a movie." "Joaquin is a strong but fragile man. Vulnerable to the point of hiding his fragility with a layer of sarcasm. Yet, when you get inside his mind, you see how human he is. He can be so charming if you let yourself get carried away." Content Warning: contains violence and mature themes. This is a work of fiction.
