When Jodie moved to the big city with her best friend after years of sexual abuse from her older brother, she thinks things are looking up when she gets one of the best PR jobs in London. Deciding to celebrate, she goes out for one last wild night with her best friend Ryan to the biggest and most notorious casino in town - home to the entire East End Gangland.
She's bowled over by the enigmatic, stunningly beautiful Cayden Gates, and follows her old habits for one last orgasmic time before waking up on Monday morning as a responsible adult with a brand new, glittering career, by enjoying a night of burning hot lust and passion with the sexy stranger, and bailing before he wakes up alone in the cold bed.
So, after the hangover wears off, and she strolls into the office Monday morning, imagine her surprise when the mysterious stranger just happens to be a Mr. Cayden James Gates - founder and Managing Director of CJ Industries - and he's more than a little intrigued by his beautiful new payroll, even though she is about as responsive as an icicle - especially when she realises that the one thing you can't run from is your shadow, and her family ties start to choke her.
Will she overcome her demons to step back into temptation with an open heart, or is he a serpent in a brand new Eden?
And as the stakes climb higher, how willing will he be to fight for her without his own dark secrets stepping out from behind the curtains?

I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant." He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing. I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers. He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger.

The Taste of Lust
One drunken kiss was supposed to be a forgettable mistake. But when Victoria shows up for her new job, the man behind the desk-with icy blue eyes and a dangerously sharp jawline-is the same stranger she kissed on a rooftop. Jackson. Cold. Intimidating. Ruthless. And now... her boss. As his personal secretary, Victoria is drawn into a world she never expected-where tension burns hotter than professionalism and the line between power and desire gets blurrier by the day. He's a bully in a suit, commanding her with a single glance, pushing her limits, and making her question everything she thought she wanted. She should quit. She should run. But something about him-the danger in his voice, the way he dominates every room, the softness he hides behind harsh words-pulls her in deeper. She's submissive by nature, but being under his control isn't just about work-it's about surrendering to something darker, more irresistible. Can she handle working for the man who owns her body, breaks her pride, and may very well shatter her heart? A gripping strangers-to-lovers romance that blends power, obsession, and the forbidden thrill of falling for the one man she should avoid.Complete
The Billionaire Mafia Boss Alpha Bad Boy and Me
A parody... except it slowly gets less satirical as I get way too attached to the characters and turn the story into a shipping-fest ~~~~ "Why are you doing this?" I whispered. He slammed me against another locker. I could see anger, sadness, envy, happiness and lust in his teal green orbs. "Because you're mine." He smirked, gnashing his teeth against mine. ~~~~ Brynn Winters is a 17 year old good girl. She is sweeter than sugar. She is also sarcastic and quirky and innocent and naive and snarky and is a bookworm and not like other girls. She also has trauma to (barely) compensate for her lack of personality. She believes in love but she has never experienced any, until she met him. Ryder Daniels is a 18 year old bad boy. He is sweeter than sin. He is dark and mysterious and plays football (not shown in book). He smokes and drinks beer. He is a ladies' man and a player. He has walls around his heart and some dark secrets that is definitely not spoiled in the title. He does not believe in love. Brynn and Ryder are opposites. So what happens when they meet? He is not who she thinks he is. Will it end in disaster? Or will it end in love? Will it end in flames? Or will it end in a different kind of flame? As disasters come their way, will they choose love or not love? Will their secrets drive them apart? Or will they trust in each other? Join them on their journey of love. There will be love, annoying sluts, conversations that doesn't pass the Bechdel test, cliche tropes, glaring plot holes, subtly glaring plot holes, socialism, orbs, humor, secondhand embarrassment and the tiniest hints of homoeroticism. ~~~~ Reviews (aka criticisms that I'm too lazy to correct): "From a horribly done parody to horribly done leftist propaganda." "Brynn and Ryder are the most frustrating couple I've ever read." "Where humor" "You can't use parody as an excuse for bad writing, you know."Complete

His Slut Of The Week || Wattys 2016
I smiled at him but tears were starting to blur my vision together. "I hate you." His smile faltered and he looked taken back, "Not like that, Drake. I hate you because you make me cry. You're supposed to beat up the guys who make me cry, not be one of them." "But they are happy tears, right?" he clarified. I smiled and nodded my head, before gripping his shirt, pulling his body against mine. "I'll never make you cry because you're sad, understood? I'm never leaving you." I didn't respond this time, I just sat in his lap, holding his torso and he played with my hair. "I don't know if I can let you in yet Drake," I told him truthfully, the one thing I had been dreading telling him. "I know. But I'll never hurt you like the others have. I-"he cut himself off and took a deep breath. "Riley?" he moved me away from his shirt. I looked at him in the eyes and say an emotion. One I hadn't seen in a long time and one I haven't seen in his eyes before. "Can I kiss you?" __________________ Drake was the player of the school. Everyone knew his name. Riley was the nerd of the school. No one knew her name. Complete opposites but for some reason, opposites seemed to attract. Riley knew that Drake had a new girl every week, but she felt like she could change him. And maybe she could. Maybe she'd be different. *Based on a true story*Complete
