Erin's love life is a cycle she knows too well: she meets someone steady, someone safe, someone who offers her the softness she's always claimed to crave... and then she crashes right back into the arms of someone who burns brighter, faster, and far more dangerously. She's spent years promising herself she'll break the pattern. She just never figured out how.
Now, as she begins to form a quiet, stabilizing bond with someone new, her past barrels back into her life-messy, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. What was supposed to be an ordinary night quickly becomes a pressure cooker of unresolved feelings, raw vulnerability, and choices she's spent far too long avoiding.
As emotions collide and the tension in the room rises, Erin is forced to confront the truth she's never admitted aloud: part of her is addicted to chaos, to intensity, to the kind of love that feels like surviving instead of living. And part of her-deep down-wants something softer. But wanting and choosing are never the same. Through one night that alters everything, Erin must finally decide whether she's ready to rewrite her story... or destined to repeat it.

My Roomie's Bestie (gxg)
"You scared of me, babe?" Erin's breath was warm against Annika's ear, sending shivers down her spine. "No. I just need to go somewhere else right now." Annika's voice wavered, her nerves frayed. "Somewhere away from me? You lying now, sweetheart? I hate liars." Erin's tone was cold and commanding, adding to Annika's discomfort. "Yes, I-I'm scared- not of you per se. B-but, I feel awkward and embarrassed. Can you please let me go?" Annika struggled to maintain her composure, her breath coming in uneven gasps. "But your body is telling a different story, love." Erin's whisper was soft but penetrating. Her hand slowly traced up Annika's thigh, her fingers making slow, deliberate circles on her dress. Annika's heart raced uncontrollably. She felt the familiar sensation of Erin's touch, her body freezing in place as words failed her. Erin's hand ventured further, moving toward Annika's inner thigh.

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

The seduction dripped off of her tongue, just like I desired to be, her low voice entrancing me with the dangerously sadistic melodies of a siren song, with the most terribly sinful lyrics. "I could kill you right now, Angel." She inched closer towards me. "Right here," she said, her eyes raking over my body, sizing me up, slowly. The lustful grey in them soon lifted back up, intimidating mine. Her harsh words screamed murderous intent, but the look in her eyes whispered a different kind of sin. I couldn't tell whether my breath hitched at her cruel threat, or the yearning pulse between my... She interrupted my stream of consciousness, poisoning it with every still second, keeping her gaze on mine as her depraved hand reached out to caress the bruised side of my neck. "But I have something else in mind." ──────────────────── No one ever says it out loud. What she really is. Dangerous. Heartless. Merciless. A murderer. Everyone knows it. And now, she's in control.

Obsession. Love? Angeline Kelleher, her new secretary, seems to be the only one reckless enough to question her. To stand too close. To look too long.

Driven to Distraction
Alex Thompson was due to marry her high school sweet heart Eric Ramirez. Period. That's it. It's about as exciting as her life ever got really. She had a job, a good job but an unconscious reality was that she was bored. She had her back blown out once every three months, if that, and an overbearing mother who made her life hell. *enter Mitch* Eve 'Mitch' Mitchell. An outgoing, strong minded, independent, raging homosexual, lover to all, charming British soul. They meet by accident after a tough day at the office for Alex. A mistaken identity was all it took for a tiny little kiss. A moment blown all out of proportion for the Christian-bred Miss Thompson and her life turns more miserable than she anticipated for every time she turned around...Mitch was there behind her. Something about Mitch was new and fresh and her soul was just what Alex needed (little did she know). Secrets from the past are brought to the surface. A sad ending to a young lady's life. A realisation that family isn't always blood related. Alcohol isn't a medicine. Violence isn't a key. Hearts were never meant to be broken. Two things to take away: you never know what is going on in someone's head and the most important thing...you never know what happens behind closed doors. A/N just a random story about two people who meet accidentally. Plays with gender norms and very inclusive of LGBTQ (being a member myself). Could be triggering I'm not sure as some identity questions are thrown around. It does include smoking, drinking, some homophobia, profanities, violence and smut. Also anything in brackets with A/N means authors note and that's just me leaving a little comment. Enjoy...Complete
