Elias Thorne did not fall in love with me.
He corrected me.
The way I locked my door.
The way I apologized before finishing sentences.
The way I arrived two minutes late and pretended I wasn't.
I mistook it for attention.
Everyone else warned me there was something wrong with him.
But Elias never shouted.
Never chased.
Never begged.
He simply watched.
And somewhere between being noticed and being measured, I began adjusting myself without being asked.
I thought that was love.
I didn't realize I was being calibrated.
By the time I understood the difference, there was nothing left of me that hadn't been adjusted.
I still believed I was the one changing him.
Elias never corrected that assumption.

The M.I.L.F. Man
Disinherited trust fund baby becomes an escort specializing in helping older women live their wildest romantic fantasies. (MATURE) CHASTAIN DEVILLIER, 20, is the loose cannon in a wealthy family descended from two very long and very aristocratic British and French bloodlines. As the story begins, he has spent the last year at what we Americans would call a "party school" in Tucson, Arizona, having dropped out of two of the most prestigious Ivy League colleges in the country--and broken up with his latest love. He's both beautiful and brilliant. But he's a GenZ Holden Caulfield who finds academia a crashing bore and his partying peers insufferably inane. Frustrated by Chastain's inability to find himself, his British father has frozen his trust funds and bank accounts and reduced his monthly living expenses to a paltry sum as a "wake up call." Chas, however, discovers a very unusual side hustle to supplement his meager allowance. After a wild night with a feisty older woman--and with the help of a Web cam star friend--he becomes an escort specializing in clients of "a certain age." It's an occupation he thoroughly enjoys. The wisdom of the women he meets and the diverse cast of characters he encounters in this wild new world intrigues and excites him. Until he falls for CIELO SANDOVAL a stunning, street-smart young asylum-seeker whose dedication to caring for the homeless and less fortunate forces him to rethink this risqué career. And whose narrow escape from two cartel-connected ICE agents hellbent on deporting her back to Honduras sends him on the most meaningful--and dangerous--adventure of his young life.Complete
Smile, because it confuses people
a Slow burn, dark romance/thriller centered around grief, power, and dangerous attraction. The story follows Olivia, an artist trying to rebuild her life after an abusive relationship, and Julian, a controlled but violent man. Their worlds collide and what starts as protection slowly turns into something far more consuming. The story includes heavy themes (violence, grief, toxic relationships, explicit content later on), so it may not be for everyone. Read the warnings before you read the book. This story is being told over 4 books and it gets darker. Every 5 chapters something dramatic will happen. 🖤🩶🤍
Tearing Down ( Sample)
I slammed my hands hard in the wall, trapping her between me and the wall. A growl came from deep in my chest, a warning for her to stop pushing me away in every way, like she always does. I could hear her heart beating faster than normal, I could smell the arousal coming off her along with defiance and stubbornness. I leaned in closer to her to the point where our noses nearly touched, "Tell me the truth". She kept her eyes on mine in a clear challenge for dominance of the situation, "I owe you nothing". I grabbed her throat without thinking about it, I will get the truth one way or another, no matter what. --- He is an Alpha, a dominant, powerful male. Everyone in his pack is below him, in rank even his mate, as it should be and always has been. The question is will it stay that way? She is a mystery. The only things he knows for sure is that she is a powerful female and his mate. The question is will finding out the truth cause a rejection? #1 in Rogues - 3-28-19 Began on September 3, 2016 Finished on March 11, 2019 ~Long Sample Only the rest is on Radish and Dreame link in Bio~Complete
Valentine's Dinner?
Two reclusive people meet in a charity soup kitchen in a down-and-out area of London, and their mutual attraction tempts them to follow their hearts. Both know that breaking out of their social shells risks revisiting buried traumas, but it might relieve their loneliness. Valerie has been celibate since she was drugged and raped, and she now concentrates on three things - running her corporate empire, maintaining a low profile and guiding her inquisitive daughter through puberty. Lorne is still grieving a fiancée who died years before, but when he meets Valerie, his dormant desires waken. With little information beyond her first name, he takes a bold step and invites her to Valentine's Day dinner. Their relationship escalates with blinding speed and all the comforts of a billionaire lifestyle, but the bliss is interrupted by a smear campaign on social media. Valerie's rapist is out of prison and looking for revenge. She wants to crawl back into her shell, but Lorne's love and acceptance continue drawing her out. Though dark aspects are threaded through the story's background, the overbearing theme is a lighthearted and feel-good romance. _____________________________________________________________________________________ I portray the wealthy lifestyle and all its appurtenances through experience, having made my first million in the 1980s when that small amount could still buy something.Complete

THERON (Book III In The Ancients Series) ✔
(Please read Theron 1 before moving on to this book) A stranger washes ashore on a deserted beach. With no memory of who or what he is, the only clue he has to his identity--the only thing he recalls from his past life--is a single, solitary name: Lina. But on a planet with over seven billion inhabitants, his only chance of finding her rests solely within the hands of Fate itself... and the help of a sassy, young street rat. A child's life hangs in the balance--a child whose blood is so unique it has the power to change the course of the future for one group of supernaturals in particular... and this group doesn't howl at the moon. For Lina and the other Ancients, a new war is brewing and in a very literal sense. This battle will not be fought with bullets and teeth like the massacre at Superlunar, but rather with magic and wit and maybe a little divine intervention. So, how do you fight an evil you can't touch? How do you stop a weapon you can't see? And how to you protect the ones you have no memory of loving? Easy! You have to remember what you don't know you knew... You have to remember who you are... You just have to remember. ⚠️ This story is marked "Mature" for a reason.
