It's always been Rex Ford.

I've always loved him. I think I always will.

Sometimes though, you have to walk away from those that you love, because of the love that you feel for them. When you truly love someone, you'll protect them and not yourself.

So I did.

No explanation. No reason. I just walked.

I knew that Rex would never understand my reasons, or understand that I did it because I cared more about his feelings, than I did my own. I walked away from our relationship because I couldn't burden him with something so awful from my past, and I'd do it again in a painful heartbeat. 

My secret very nearly destroyed me. I couldn't ever let it destroy Rex. 

Now nine years on, I'm faced once again with the man that I deeply loved, who I will always deeply love. 

A twisted turn of fate has thrown us back together, and I know he's not happy about it. 

Rex used to look at me with only love in his eyes; now he looks at me with only hate and confusion. That hurts more than I can ever say. Hurts more than I can ever let him know. 

For Rex still can't know nothing. He can't ever know my secret, and he must never know THE REASON.

My name is Abby Blair. I write erotic romance. I don't practise what I preach, though. With a string of failed relationships behind me, my books are now the only passion in my life. I create fictional men, because the real men in my life often let me down. I create a woman's perfect fantasy, because my fantasy doesn't exist. My female leads luckily get what I don't. Devotion. Love. Sex... A happy ending. So when I meet Yate Sheridan at my very first book signing, he makes me question a lot of things. He is like one of my leading men, jumping out from a chapter and jumping into my real life. He is charming and wickedly sexy, with a smile that could cause a roomful of knickers to drop in an instant. There is no question; Yate is appealing. He is also a cover model...a definite no-no for me. I don't like my men to be constantly drooled over, I leave that for my readers to do with my fictional men. So, as much as I like Yate, I can never date him. I'm way too insecure to go out with a guy like him. I have a painful past regret that has chipped away at my confidence. Being with someone like Yate, would only feed those insecurities. I write about sassy, confident, and bolder than brass heroines. They are sadly, everything that I'm not. When Yate kisses me; I know that I need to walk away. I need to walk, whilst my knickers are still on and my heart is still in tact. Only he doesn't want to leave things there. After that single kiss... He wants more. I'll admit, he gets under my skin, but I don't think I can give him what he wants? Yate Sheridan, well let's just say, he has other ideas. This is our story. ***DOES CONTAIN SWEAR WORDS & SCENES OF INTIMATE AND GRAPHIC NATURE*** WRITTEN WITH HEARTS Published by K B Mallion Copyright © 2016 K B Mallion All rights reserved
Hot Summer Night  by JeniRaeD
33 parts Complete Mature
Sixteen years ago, my sisters and I moved from France to the United States to live the American dream. Not long after, I met Declan, a marine who was home for his mother's funeral. He was my everything, my world, and the love of my life. Four and a half years later, I became his fiancée. Then, when I thought everything was going well, my world ended when I awoke to him gone. No note, no nothing. He was just gone. I waited days, weeks, and months to hear from him and for his return. That never happened. Then, I met Chadwick, who took the pieces of my broken heart and put them back together. He promised me many things during our dating years, guaranteeing he'd give me the world. And he was. Then, after years of not wanting to give my entire heart to him, fearing he'd do what Declan had done, I pushed the fear of him leaving me aside and married him. The night we married, instead of giving me the world he promised, I was gifted a nightmare. For over six years, I lived in a lake of fire. If I wasn't locked in a dark, cold room for days on end, day and night, I was tormented, punished, abused, and tortured in the blackest darkness until I could no longer see, talk, or move. Maltreating me until he broke me. Finally, one of my prayers was answered when an ally close to Chadwick helped me escape the prison of hell. She flew me out of New York and brought me to her friend's home in Mobile, Alabama, where I got the shock of my life. He wasn't just her "friend." He was a ghost from my past, and now I'm in his care. Oh, and he has a child nearly as old as our breakup.

Curing Cooper by kierralannita
2 parts Ongoing
To the world, Archie is untouchable-smart, driven, with a face and body that could inspire legends. Women fall at his feet, and why wouldn't they? He's the perfect picture of success, the golden boy who has it all. But beneath the surface, Archie lives by a strict rule: never fall in love. Love is chaos, a danger he's sworn to avoid. Football, though? That's his sanctuary. The game demands his focus, keeps him grounded, and, most importantly, it requires zero emotional attachment. It's his fortress, protecting him from feelings that could tear him apart. And for years, it's worked flawlessly-until now. Lori Cooper is a storm he never saw coming. The girl from his past-once fragile, tormented, and pushed to her breaking point-has returned to their hometown. She's not the weak target she used to be. Lori is fierce, stunning, and hardened by the years spent nursing old wounds. But those wounds haven't healed. Far from it. She's back with a purpose: to make Archie pay for the pain he caused her. Time, however, is slipping away-because Lori has a secret, one that's slowly killing her. But even with death on the horizon, revenge is her only focus. She's determined to see him fall, no matter what it costs her. But the past is never as simple as it seems, and when their worlds crash together, Archie and Lori discover that love, for all its risks and dangers, is far more powerful than either could have imagined. In the end, it's not just love that has the power to undo them-it's the truth. Curing Cooper. Copyright. © 2024 All rights reserved.

BROKEN HOPE (Broken Redemption Book 2)

40 parts Complete Mature

I was so damn naive it's no wonder I've ended up here. Kidnapped by the man who promised me forever, just as I'd begun to understand the depths of his betrayal. It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made.
