When Drake started the night at his father’s campaign fundraiser, he never imagined he’d end it being conned into buying drugs on the West Side. Losing high-stakes poker has its consequences, but he’d repeatedly face them just to hear Lacey Douglas sing. Drake sees Lacey light up the stage, and he has to have her. But his intentions for being on her side of town turn out to be the reason he can’t.
Chicago native Lacey has dreams of the opera, but life has its obstacles. Lacey has come to know her hardships as part of living in the real world and accepts them fully. When Lacey meets the intense and invigorating Drake, a fire is lit inside her, unleashing those dreams again.
Two paths that should have never crossed prove to create the exact pairing the other needs. But when their worlds take time to catch up, everything they have is tested. Finding the space between the two sides that challenge them will be hard, but it’s the only place that will keep them together.

UNMASKED CHAINS OF DESIRE
Brandon Dean is a man everyone envies. A billionaire. A striking, blue-eyed CEO with charm, power, and control. To the outside world, he has it all. But behind closed doors, he's drowning. Addicted to sex, haunted by the shadows of his past, Brandon's life is ruled by lust, secrecy, and the desperate chase for release. No amount of money, women, or success can fill the emptiness inside him. Then came Aria. Curvy, confident, and unlike anyone he's ever known, she sees the truth beneath his polished mask. A dominatrix with her own scars, she doesn't run from his darkness-she steps into it. She edges his chaos into control, challenges his cravings, and forces him to face the man he's been hiding from the world. What begins as fire and lust turns into something more dangerous: love. Aria becomes his anchor, his temptation, and his salvation. Together, they push limits-in the bedroom, in public, in their hearts. But addiction doesn't loosen its grip easily, and every relapse threatens to break them apart. This is Brandon's journey.Complete
Butterfly Dreams and Heels.
This is a fictional story about a grown woman who struggles to break-free from or embrace the enchantment within her. Lacey wasn't sure about life, love, anything. She was just living each struggle and inhaling small moments of happiness as it comes. She wasn't interested in falling in love. She didn't know nor wanted to know what love was. She had her bills to pay and survival to face. She was accustomed to fast mornings and late nights. She glowed in thoughts of slow mornings and a dash of romance that sparked under the moonlight. Her life was as exciting as watching ice melt in the sunlight. Not much excitement, to be honest, but the straps of grown-up responsibilities that laced up her ankles from her sensual heels. Her mind often flutters like the wings of butterflies to a graceful, charming wisdom. A vixen with undercurrents of impulsive, magical, raw sexual vulnerability. She keeps a boundary between the one who dances in butterfly dreams and the sensible woman whose heels echoed a more realistic approach to life. There was no man in Lacey's life and she wasn't sure she wanted one. A man would not know how to preserve that mystical, reserved magic and still accept that she challenges, curses and speaks her mind freely. Men sought to stifle and sucked the life out of her and Lacey wanted to live.Complete
