Eloise Fletcher doesn't believe in fairy tales. Especially not the kind that begin: Once upon a time, you have to marry your best friend to save your family's company from ruin. Malakai Reeves Has been her best friend since she could remember, and the one person she's always trusted more than anyone else. But now their families have made a deal and trust isn't part of the bargain.
Thrown together by obligation, Eloise and Malakai fall into a marriage that's both a prison and a lifeline. Old feelings ignite, secrets come to light, a stolen kiss make everything seem different. All of a sudden, the line between friendship and something more becomes blurred.
But not all vows are made to be kept. Behind the gilded surface of their marriage, lies betrayal and corruption and the kind of choices that will destroy them both.
Because sometimes the people you love the most are the ones who will break you.
And sometimes the biggest twist of all is the truth that comes too late

Once upon a time... That's how all the fairytales begin, right? There's a girl who's mistreated and misunderstood.

It's love at first sight, the guy saves the girl from whatever misery she's in, they meet only two or three problems along the way, and then it's happily ever after. But this isn't a fairytale.

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 was because of the support and encouragement on here that I finally took the decision to self-publish as an e-book. 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
