It's been a long time since love has been on the table for Bonnie Everman. 

A child of a rocky divorce and victim of countless wayward encounters that could hardly be called romantic, she has definitively put it away and decided to focus only on her publishing career, much to the chagrin of her worried mother. However, when an intern suddenly quits and she is required to read the entry manuscript of a budding romance author who goes by the name A.M. Glorio, she suddenly cannot help herself but to feel an ache for love outside the page. She wants to meet the person who somehow, so intimately knows the wants and needs of her heart, but there is just one problem... she has no idea who he, or she, could be.

All the while, a blind date has turned her life into a game of play and pretend. Dante Castellano, a wealth-enshrouded shadow of her childhood, has designed a proposition that she may not be able to refuse, regardless of her feelings.

June, 2, 2024: #1 in Action-Romance "If you choose to leave, I won't stop you cause I know that would be a sensible decision." He moved even closer to her, encircling her in his arms, her eyes shut at the electrifying sensation that enveloped her, "But I hope you'll stay." He whispered in her ears. A lone tear escaped her eye as she heard his pain stricken words. "I am scared" She confessed, her voice trembling. "I will never let anything happen to you." He assured her, caressing her cheeks. Silence settled upon the room as their gazes remained locked and he leaned forward, placing his lips gently upon her's. An unknown warmth filled her body and instinctively her arms wrapped around his neck, drawing him closer. He reciprocated, pulling her body closer to his and deepening the kiss. He kissed her like there was no tomorrow - passionately. Only when their breaths became ragged did he finally release her, resting his head against hers. The only sound that resonated in the room was of their heavy breaths until Scarlett whispered, "I'll never leave." ___________________________________________ Markus Hayes, A man you don't want to be up against.
