Nicole Kent had spent 25 years striving to fulfill her father's wishes. But when he arranged her betrothal to a stranger, she made a bold decision to escape. Boarding the first cruise ship she found, she sought freedom and happiness.

Yet fate had other plans.

She found herself powerless against the man who haunted her thoughts day and night. Ethan Tyler's piercing black eyes seemed to penetrate her soul, leaving her breathless. She yearned to run her fingers through his dark raven hair and taste his tempting lips, knowing they could lead her astray.

How could she resist Ethan when their paths crossed continually? How could she deny his allure when he was the only one who made her feel truly alive?

But what if Ethan harbored secrets of his own? Would Nicole be brave enough to accept them, or would she turn away and bid him farewell forever?

52 parts Complete Mature
Ethan Lane was your typical player. He was smooth, handsome, manly, successful and a total chick magnet. Women loved him and men wanted to be him. He had a steady stream of girlfriends in his past but always craved for more on the side. He could never be faithful or satisfied. He only knew how to live dangerously pleasing only himself as no one else mattered. The idea of finding 'the one' was nothing but bull he didn't believe in love or romance. He came from a broken family where promises and words meant nothing only actions. Having moved out of home at 15 Ethan knew he could only ever rely on himself and no one else. Lauren Contini was studying Business at Uni full time with a part time job on the side. She was naturally gorgeous, smart, funny, intelligent but naive & innocent. She'd only had serious monogamous relationships in the past with a string of guys always willing to be her 'friend'. She was an 'it' girl at Uni and pretty much had it all planned out where her life was going. With a huge family to support her every move she was very much loved. Despite her wealthy family she was down to earth and humble, she planned to make her own wealth and wanted to be financially independent. So what happens when these two worlds collide. Polar opposites in so many ways but the attraction is undeniable. Can they get their happy ending? ~~~~~~~~~~ Copyright © 2015 by Debbie Brock All rights reserved.

Marissa is one of three siblings of the head family of New Hope. Everything is as perfect as it could be in a world where mystical beings and humans are on the verge of another war. Until her father arranges a marriage to an older shape-shifting sea dragon pirate, all of her plans, from her career to her personal life, are now dead in the water. Levi is a world-famous pirate, mainly for how his family came into power. He wants to establish lasting peace between all of the clans, even at the cost of his freedom. It's easier said than done when his family pressures him to keep to tradition, and infighting may destroy the treaty before it can even begin. When they embark on this relationship, will they see past their differences and save the country from another war? Could they fall in love along the way, or will they sacrifice their hearts and freedom for the sake of peace? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "I'm told love doesn't have a place in business or duty," Marissa said with a smile. "Even at my age, I find that a hard pill to swallow," Rhys said, pouring himself another glass. "I would imagine at your age, there's a lot of things hard to do," Marissa giggled. "What experience do you have with older men," Rhys asked, laughing. He leaned back into the couch, stretching his arms along the back. His seated stance widened. Marissa sat back as well and angled her body towards him. "None, just a guess from what I hear," Marissa said, finishing her drink. "Well, on behalf of all old men, I take offense. Especially since you've never been with one. We're quite capable, more so than the younger ones," Rhys said, filling her glass. "That's something I would need to experience for myself then," Marissa said. "It's possible," Rhys said. "Was that an offer," Marissa asked. "It's whatever you want it to be," Rhys said. *~*~*~*~* COMPLETED
