Maeve

At sixteen, I learned my fate.
On my twenty-first birthday, I wouldn’t be celebrating—I’d be handed over as payment for my parents’ sins.
I fought. I rebelled. I tried to escape.
None of it mattered.
Now I belong to him.
And my life is no longer my own.

Draven

I never wanted the deal.
But the moment I saw her, I knew one thing—she was mine.
I won’t break her. I won’t hurt her.
I’ll protect her.
Earn her trust.
Make her choose me … even if she has no choice at all.
But someone wants her dead.
And if her own family would rather see her buried than delivered to me…
What aren’t they telling me?
Because I’m already too far gone.
Maeve is mine.
And I’m not letting her go.

Excerpt

“I’m about to call for lunch,” he said, stopping when he caught sight of me. “Care to join me?”

“Sure.”

I’m trying to act casual. I’m wearing a simple white summer dress, with straps wide enough to cover my bra straps, but it only falls to my knees.

Draven walked into his office, holding the door open for me, and I walked past him and to one of the sofas. He has two, on either side of a coffee table. Near the main window sits his desk.

“How are you?” Draven asked.

It’s nice to know his name. “I’m good.”

Draven sits down opposite me, and I can’t help but watch him. His gaze is on me as well.

“How old are you?” I asked.

“Thirty-five.”

“Wow,” I said.

“Does my age bother you?”

“No.” I happened to like the fact he was older. Not that I had been around a lot of men my own age, but I had seen a lot of movies to know they were not exactly mature. Draven looked mature.

“How is your neck?” he asked.

“Fine.”

His sleeves are rolled up, showing off his thick, heavily inked arms.

“Did you like getting tattoos?” I asked.

He sat back and looked at me. “Did you?”

I couldn’t help but smile. “I asked you first.”

“And seeing as I am the oldest, you will answer me.”

“Yes, I did. They hurt, but then a needle digging into your flesh is going to hurt.”

He chuckled. “I rather like the pain. After a while, I didn’t feel it.”

“That was the same for me.”

I don’t want to talk about ink, or pain.

“Maeve, come here,” he said.

In that moment, I was like a moth to a flame. I walk around the coffee table and stand right in front of him.

At first, Draven doesn’t move or make a sound, but then he takes hold of my hand. He strokes his finger across my inner wrist, and it felt so good, I didn’t want it to stop.

“Tell me what is going on in that mind of yours,” he said.

“Nothing.”

“You think I don’t see the interest in your eyes, Maeve?” he asked. “Do you think I didn’t notice you were looking at me from your bedroom window, or that last night you wriggled against my dick because you felt how hard I was getting?”

I thought I had been subtle, but I felt him pressing against me, and I had enjoyed it.

The moment he tugged on my wrist, I didn’t fight and instead fell against him. Draven is a man in charge and knows what he wants. He moves my knees into position so that I straddle him.

“Is this what you want?” he asked, both his hands at my hips as he held me in place.

I feel the hard ridge of his cock, even through his pants.

“Yes.”

I don’t fight him, and I’m not afraid. Draven has already proven he doesn’t want to hurt me, so I place my hands on his shoulders and stare into his eyes, refusing to look away. He has intense brown eyes. I had a feeling they were probably scary to look at, especially if he was staring at an enemy. I was not his enemy.

I’d never been this bold with a man. I had learned to fight, and I had gone dancing. I rebelled in the hope of changing my fate, but nothing was going to help me. My fate had been sealed long before I was even born.

I was going to belong to Draven Adams. From the age of sixteen, I’d been so pissed about that. I hadn’t even known his name, nor who he was, just that I was going to be owned by a man. I would mean nothing. I would be nothing, and there was no way I would be able to change that.

Now, I am so happy to be owned by him. I know it is crazy and fucking stupid. All this time, I should have been looking for a way to escape, but why? I am happy. I know there were probably many people that had been in my position who were dead now. I was lucky. Draven had no intention of killing me. I didn’t know exactly what he was going to do to me, but I also didn’t care.

Cupping his face, I feel bold, like I am tired of holding back. For a long time, I have wanted to scream and keep it in place, and now I close that small distance between us and kiss him. I kiss my captor, and I don’t let go.

I love the feel of his lips against mine, and one of the hands on my hips slides up and grips the back of my neck. I hesitate, expecting the fear to come flooding back, but he’s holding the back of my neck, and the other hand is gripping my hip tightly. There is no mistaking what is going on right now. Draven is touching me. I want his hands all over me, touching me, exploring me.

There is a knock at the door, and I pull away.

“Fuck off,” Draven said, growling the words.

“That’s not very nice,” I said.

“I’m not a very nice man.”

It was on the tip of my tongue to argue with him, but all too soon, Draven has his hands on my waist, and he’s spun me around so that my back is to him.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

His Beauty, Her Beast – 5 out of 5 stars.

Maeve Taylor is twenty one years old and reached the point in her life that the sole purpose of her being born was all for has now finally arrived. At the young age of sixteen Maeve learnt that she was nothing more than a pawn to be used in a game she never even asked to play a part in. Her only role is to be used in payment for a blood debt created by her parents. Once she learned her role she did everything she could to rebel, change her hair, get tattoos but nothing could stop this process from being honoured. In her mind her life was over before it had even begun. Draven Adams was the one to collect the outstanding debt from the Taylor family after his father had passed. All debts to be collected went to him. At the age of thirty five he wasn’t really interested in the debts, he had his own empire he had made and he ruled it with an iron fist. However one look at Maeve and the fire in her eyes and he instantly knew that she belonged to him. He would claim her and protect her and treat her as the precious gem she truly is. All whilst taking his revenge on those stupid enough to try to take her away from him. Wow, this was a great read! Maeve may not have had much of a choice in her life but she didn’t let it break her or snuff out her light, she is stronger than she even realises. Draven is a man surrounded in mystery with more power and capable of so much destruction that Maeve does not fully understand the lengths her man will go to to love and protect her. Even though the situation they come together by is not an everyday occurrence their chemistry is there and slowly builds as they spend time together and Draven continues to surprise Maeve with his charm, actions and smiles reserved just for her. Their passion is scorching hot and the story hides some twists and turns along the way that you would not expect. It was a great read that I thoroughly enjoyed with an epilogue that gave us a perfect ending. Loved it. Happy Reading.
Please note that I was given an arc of this book for my honest review which is exactly what I have given.

Dmitriy Fedulov was known as the ghost devil. He was who the head of the Gnesin Bratva sent when they wanted to annihilate. He killed all enemies, and he did so without remorse. Until her.

Anastasia Babkin defied her family and refused to marry a cruel man. As punishment, she was thrown out, forced to live on her own, far away from the Bratva. She knew the risks. It was why she stayed all alone.

When Dmitriy was sent, he didn’t kill her. Instead, he kept her safe. He felt nothing for no one, until he met Anastasia. She was unlike other women. She was different, and he couldn’t bring himself to kill her.

The orders from Gnesin didn’t sit well with Dmitriy. When he demands a meeting, and it goes silent, he knows something is wrong. When the enemy comes hunting him down, it’s only a matter of time before the Bratva falls.

Anastasia doesn’t know who ordered the kill on her family. She has fallen in love with her savior. But, will they be able to survive? Is the leader of the Bratva still alive? Will he let them live? Or is it just one big betrayal?

Excerpt:

“I have no idea what is going on, and I can only assume my safe locations have been compromised. I’m not going to put you in any danger. We’ll rest here tonight, and tomorrow, we’ll figure something out.”

“You know, if you had killed me, you probably would be able to just run away and live your life.”

“Running away is not an option.” He never ran away, not from his parents, not from anything.

“Take a shower. I’m going to go and get food, and do not answer the door to anyone.” With that, he closed the door and left the motel room.

He should have killed her. It should have been easy for him to do. Just one bullet to the back of the head, or slitting her throat, but he just couldn’t bring himself to do it. He didn’t want to hurt her. In all his years, Dmitriy had never felt this way for anyone.

Running fingers through his hair, he got into the car and drove for ten minutes until he found a drive-thru. He ordered them plenty of food, kept a smile on his face for the woman serving him, which wouldn’t allow any questions or suspicions to be raised, and when she was finished serving him, he told her to have a good day.

He made his way back to the motel, grabbed all the food, and let himself into the apartment. At the same time, Anastasia stepped out of the bathroom. Her hair was damp, and she had a towel within her grip, drying it by scrunching it up in her fist. She had a single towel wrapped around her body, but he saw a lot more of her flesh on display, and he found it impossible to ignore. She was almost naked.

“The shower is free, and I didn’t use up all the hot water,” she said.

“I’ll take a quick shower.” He moved past her with speed. He didn’t want to spend any more time looking at her.

He had to get control of his erection. After what she had just seen, Anastasia didn’t need to deal with an aroused man as well. He wasn’t that much of a fucking monster.

“There’s food, enjoy it,” he said, and slammed the door. This was not Anastasia’s fault. She didn’t know how he felt. That he had been obsessed with her since she had turned eighteen. That she was nothing like any other woman he had seen or known. She was different.

Stripping out of his clothes, he turned on the shower and stepped beneath the spray. His cock was rock-hard, and he couldn’t get the sight of her out of his mind. Her smooth shoulders exposed, slightly glistening from the shower she had taken. She had been here moments before, and he was pretty sure he could smell her. He had to get some level of control. This was fucking shit.

Wrapping his fingers around his cock, he closed his eyes, and it was all Anastasia playing through his mind. Her smile. The laughter he had heard from time to time. Then of course, the way she looked moments ago, and that was all it took to send him right over the edge, and he grunted as he spilled his seed into the bathtub.

He couldn’t recall the last time he was with a woman. It had been so long ago, possibly even the night before he had seen Anastasia for the first time. That one look at the party was enough for him to never want anyone else.

There had been a few moments where he had tried with other women, but none of them appealed to him. They meant nothing.

He stopped trying and accepted there was only one woman for him, and that woman was Anastasia.

Blurb:


Doormat!

That’s the word Liana Marchetti heard her husband use to describe her as to his friends. She was a boring doormat that didn’t have a single thought for herself. He was so wrong. Being a mafia wife, she tried to play the role that she thought he would like. Now, he was going to see who the real Liana was.

And she wanted a divorce.

Diego did not want to be married. However, when his wife demands a divorce he told her there were only two ways. One, if she betrayed the mafia, he would kill her. The second, if she even dared to be with another man, he’d kill him and get rid of her. His wife had other ideas. Liana was going to make him work.

She had no interest in any other man. Because the truth was, Diego had hurt her. She had started to fall in love with her husband, but there was no way she was going to succumb to a man who thought she was a doormat.

However, Diego is completely blown away by his wife. He didn’t want a doormat, he relished the fire and passion burning inside her, and now, he was not going to let her go. He was going to keep her, and if that meant winning her back, that was exactly what he was going to do.

Excerpt:

Swimming helped to clear her mind. At least, it used to help clear her mind, whereas now, it wasn’t exactly helping at all.

Liana had known the moment Diego had entered the room. Besides the fact the door beeped when someone entered the room, she could also sense him. Her father had installed the beep as a security measure. Several years ago, a couple of his enemies had been able to sneak onto the property, kill a few of the soldiers, and get inside the house. Every door beeped as you went in or out of the house. It was great, until someone wanted to go outside to sneak a cigarette. That was her brother, and it tended to wake her up when it happened.

Liana had actually been in the pool when the two men had broken into the house. It had been dark, and she had eased beneath the water so none of them could see her. She’d been the one to send the alert to her father and grab one of the guns from the secure case.

According to Enzo Jr., she did not have a kill, however, she believed she did. She had taken down one of the masked men, and her brother the other, but he had claimed both deaths. She refused to argue with him. They had killed bad men.

Not that death was easy to deal with. She acted all tough in front of her father and brother, but she had gone to the bathroom and vomited. Afterward, she also had nightmares, and thinking back to that, she had a feeling that was why her brother had claimed both kills. So, she didn’t have to deal with it. The truth was, she didn’t know if she had killed anyone or not. She kept replaying the whole thing in her head, but she didn’t know if she had shot her gun, or if her brother had shot more than one bullet. She was a good shot when the target wasn’t moving. Either way, that had been a long time ago.

“It’s time for us to go home,” he said.

“I’m not going to your house.” She didn’t move from her position in the pool. Diego, however, took one step, then another, until he was close, and within touching distance. “I want a divorce.”

Her brother had asked her to consider her options. He didn’t believe divorce was the answer. Liana had no interest in staying married to such a horrible man. She had tried to be married to him, and after six months, he was quite happy to laugh and joke about her. Not happening. She was not going to keep playing a part.

“Not happening,” Diego said.

“What?”

“We’re not getting a divorce.”

“I don’t want to stay married to you,” she said.

“Tough.”

She glared at him, and then when he reached down as if to grab her and pull her out of the pool, she kicked back away from the edge so he would have no choice but to either climb into the pool to get her, or deal with not being able to.

“You’re not listening to me,” she said.

“And you’re not listening to me. There will be no divorce, and seeing as I’m the one in charge, what I say goes.”

She couldn’t even believe the audacity of the man. “Well, if you don’t want a divorce, I suggest you leave. This is my father’s house, and you are not welcome here!”

He stood staring at her, and she glared at him, refusing to budge. He might be used to being the one in charge, but he was about to find out what having her as an enemy was all about. What surprised her was that he unbuttoned his shirt.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

Diego didn’t answer, as he removed his shirt, revealing his very heavily muscled chest covered in ink. She was not distracted by the view, but she continued to glare at him, and then he removed his pants and as he climbed into the pool. Liana started to swim to the opposite side.

Just as she got to the other side, she put her hands up and started to lift herself out, only arms banded around her waist and pulled her right back into the water. She let out a growl, because she felt the sheer strength of him and knew she was no match. Liana tried to wriggle out of his arms, but he just swam with her further into the pool until they were in the center, and neither at the small end or the deep end. They didn’t even go under the water.

Diego held her tightly.

“Let me go!”

“No.”

She tried to become a dead weight in his arms, but that was no good, because he held her up and the water actually helped him. This was a nightmare.

After a few seconds, she slammed her hand on top of the water, sending up a splash of water. “What will it take to get you out of my damn life?”

“Liana, we’re married. Nothing is going to separate us. You could be pregnant with my child. There is no way I am going to accept a divorce.”

“I don’t want to be married to a man like you.”

From the moment Ella Rue stepped into Mateo Cole’s bar, he knew she was different. When a picture, drawn by a kid, falls out of her work locker, he has questions. All of his background checks didn’t say she had a child.

The work was by a child—her own work from many years ago. Being a foster kid, she was used to not being wanted. Ella’s desires had not changed. She wanted to have children, be a mother, and to be a wife. She didn’t want to be a business woman.

Many years ago, Mateo killed his father, along with anyone who dared step in his way. But now, he wants children. He wants a life with Ella, and he knows exactly what to do to make it happen.

Ella knew the proposition was crazy. Most people were afraid of Mateo, but not her. She couldn’t believe that she was even considering the deal, but it was the best way to get what she wanted.

So, they got married, and they began the journey of becoming pregnant. But along the way, something happened. It was no longer a business deal once feelings were involved.

A happily ever after isn’t in the cards. The mafia does not approve of marrying outsiders, and they will stop at nothing to remove the problem.

Excerpt:

Ella left her picture underneath the magnet on the fridge right at home, in her apartment. There was no point in carrying it around with her all the time. Arriving at work, Bernie was already behind the bar. On Friday nights they always had two or three people manning the bar, including her. The bar wasn’t open yet, and she gave Bernie a wave.

“Ella, the boss wants a word with you,” he said.

This made her stop and turn to look at Bernie. “What?”

“The boss said to tell you as soon as you come in, that he wanted to see you.”

She nibbled her lip and then glanced back over at Bernie. “Did he say why?”

“No, and I didn’t ask, seeing as he is the boss, and so what he says, goes.”

She tried not to wince, but it was hard not to. This wasn’t good, was it?

She didn’t drop her stuff off at her locker, and instead went straight to Mateo’s office. The door was closed, and she lifted her hand and knocked.

His call to come in came almost immediately after. Her stomach felt incredibly tight. She had no idea why he would want to see her, and it freaked her out just a little. She had never been called to his office. Had a customer reported her? She tried to scramble her brain for a valid reason, and she kept coming up blank. There was no reason he should want to see her.

Stepping into his office, she saw no one was there with a complaint.

“Close the door,” he said.

Was this good?

She did as he asked, and then turned to look at him. He pointed at the chair opposite her, and she had no choice but to take a seat, although she just wanted to ask him what was going on. She licked her very dry lips, and waited. Her heart raced. She felt that spiraling sickness swirling in her gut, making her wonder what the hell she was going to do.

“I want to talk to you about a … proposition,” he said.

Okay, she wasn’t expecting that, but at least it didn’t lead to her getting fired, which was a huge plus.

“A proposition?”

“Yes. I’m forty-five years old. I have no wife and no children.” He didn’t look away from her. “And it has come to my attention, Ella, that I want children.”

“Okay. Are you wanting me to help you find a girlfriend or a wife—”

“You’re wanting children, a family, someone to take care of you. How about you and I come to an arrangement that suits both of us?”

This was not what she expected. She had to remind herself to press her lips closed, because she was so close to losing her composure. Her mouth had literally fallen open and stayed open.

“Uh, you want to have a child with me?”

“Children, yes. I want to have more than one child, and based on your picture last night, you want a big family.”

“And you want to have those children with me?”

“Yes,” he said.

She smiled and pressed her lips together, wondering if this was some kind of prank. “You’re kidding?”

“No. I am not kidding. I’m serious, Ella. I want to have kids and a family, and I want to have it with you.”

“What, uh, what exactly would that entail?”

“We’ll get married. I have already made the arrangements. We can be at a church in less than twenty minutes. Everything would be legal. I promise I will take care of you, and in return, you’ll take care of me. Provide me with everything a loving wife can offer. I will give you the kids.”

“How would we … make those kids?” Ella asked. She felt like she was in a dream, but each time she kept pinching her arm, she wouldn’t wake up.

“The old-fashioned way. We can come to a deal with this arrangement, but after that, everything would be real. You will be my wife, I will be your husband, we will have children and a family. Together, we can give each other what we want.”

Shae Marino has wanted Peyton Bride for a long time. He has kept his distance, as he knows how desperate she is to make her parents’ failing business work. But, when her sister mounts up a ridiculous amount of debt, he has no choice but to take payment, and he wants Peyton.

Peyton loved her parents. After taking over the bakery, she had no idea how they were able to keep on going. They had gone past the red, and with sister constantly needing money, she struggled to stay afloat. She somehow managed to get by—until her sister needed her.

To save her sister, she must give herself to Shae Marino. She never wants to see her sister again, so she will bargain with him. He can take her virginity, but he must keep her sister as far away from her as possible.

He agrees. She belongs to him, and he plans to keep her.

When trouble comes calling, she turns to Shae to help fix it. Now, there is no turning back. She knows what he is capable of, and it doesn’t scare her. She loves this man, and she will forever be by his side.

Excerpt:

Peyton didn’t understand why he didn’t just come in and order himself. He also didn’t answer her question as to why. She figured maybe he got other people to do it because he saw it as demeaning. Maybe he was a snob. She knew he was the wealthiest man around. People admired him, envied him, and were also terrified of him. Rumors constantly run wild about this man. She did not know what to believe. Possibly none of it.

He had let her leave to change. One of his men had walked her upstairs, and Peyton expected to stay in a spare bedroom, only she had checked the closet and saw it full of Shae’s clothes.

Reality started to set in, and rather than have a full-blown panic attack, she walked into his bathroom, stripped down naked, and took a shower. It was nice and hot, and it felt really good.

She didn’t get a lot of sleep the previous night as she had been making plans for the fall baking. It was the season of cinnamon, pumpkin, apple, and there were so many ideas flowing through her head. Also, she loved to make Halloween treats the moment October hit. She enjoyed planning everything, then getting into the shop between five and five-thirty, she loved to just bake. Sometimes she played music, other times she didn’t and just worked in the silence, which was equally as enjoyable to her.

Tipping her head back, she closed her eyes and washed the day away.

At the end of this, she would still have her shop, but … she wouldn’t have her virginity. Her sister wouldn’t cause her any trouble. She had always dreamed of marrying a man she loved and being a virgin on her wedding night. It was outdated, she knew, but she didn’t like the idea of sleeping around with random men. It just wasn’t her.

Lily-May had always called her a prude, but she didn’t care. Love mattered. It was out there and it was real.

Only, that was not an option for her now. She had sold her body to keep her sister alive, and to also keep her sister as far away from her as possible. She had no choice.

Turning off the shower, as she didn’t want to waste all the hot water, she rung out her hair and grabbed a towel. Wrapping it around her body, she couldn’t help but notice how soft it felt. With another towel, she dried her hair as best she could. All of her hair products were at home. Towel drying was the best way to take care of it.

She didn’t look at her reflection. There was no reason to rub in the feelings that were running riot around her body. She felt a little sick to her stomach.

Stepping out of the bathroom, she came to a stop, as Shae was already in the bedroom. Like her, he was in a bath towel, and his hair was damp. He must have taken a shower elsewhere. She couldn’t help but look down at his body and see the many tattoos that covered his flesh. He had ink on his arms, most of them just designs of swirls or patterns. Not that she was an expert on artwork. They looked good.

His arms already appeared thick, and yet, with the ink, they looked … bigger. He was not a man to leave someone else to do his dirty work. He was hands-on. Shae was no coward.

Peyton looked at him and lost all words.

He took a step toward her, then another. She stayed rooted to the spot, and then he was right in front of her.

Her lips seemed to tingle as if they remembered he had kissed her. Those lips touching hers, no, more like ravishing her.

Peyton didn’t fight him as he slid his finger between her body and the towel, and he released the knot. The towel fell to the floor, and she was tempted to grab it, to try and cover herself, but she instead clenched her hands into fists, waiting.

He removed his own towel, and Peyton looked up, not daring to look at his … cock.

One of his hands touched her waist, and he pulled her in close. Body to body, she felt how hard he was as he pressed against her stomach.

“Put your hands on me,” he said.

New Release: Protecting HIs Woman

🔥 NEW RELEASE ALERT 🔥

I’ve got a brand new standalone story.

Protecting His Woman is NOW LIVE!!!

They have no idea who they’re dealing with.

<3 virgin heroine
<3 Older hero
<3 Over The Top hero

Blurb


Old County is not like a lot of towns. There are no cops, no lawyers, no one willing to take responsibility, at least, not on paper.

Damion Archer controls the town of Old County. He keeps everyone in line. If The Families cross the line, he deals with it. He handles the punishment, and makes sure the civilians of the town walk safe.

Vicki Reid is the only waitress who knows exactly what Damion wants. He is the town hero, who everyone admires, but are also terrified of. There are rules in Old County, and to survive you must follow them.

If you’re a civilian, you’re off limits, unless you decide to join one of the resident families. Then, you become one of them, and a target is on your back. Dating Damion Archer will come at a price, Vicki knows that. But when her mother attempts to sell her virginity, and use her within one of those families, that breaks a rule.

They want Old County, and by taking out his woman, they think they can take him. They do not know who they’re dealing with.

Excerpt:

“What about the others?”

“They’re all out with friends.”

He nodded. She looked at him, and he stared right back at her.

Vicki didn’t know what happened next. One moment, they were staring at each other, and in the next, she was in his arms, and they were around his neck, and her lips were on his.

Somewhere in the chaos, he’d picked her up and carried her back into the sitting room. She was so pleased she had tidied everything before he arrived.

While they kissed, Damion sat down, and he did so with her straddling his waist. He ran his hands up her back, sinking into her hair, and then down, going toward her ass. She cried out, and he seemed to swallow the sound, as he gripped her ass tightly. His touch drove her a little crazy, and she couldn’t help but moan. It was just a simple touch, but it felt amazing.

She closed her eyes, and in the process, ground her pelvis against his. Doing this made her realize Damion was very aroused. This made her pause, and within seconds, her eyes were open, staring at him. This was fast, and yet she didn’t feel afraid.

He reached out, tucking some of her hair behind her ear. “You’re beautiful,” he said.

Vicki didn’t know what to do or say. She just stared at him.

He smiled at her, and this time, she couldn’t help but smile back.

“You don’t need to be afraid when you’re with me, Vicki.”

“I have no idea what I’m doing,” she said. And then, it dawned on her that he could be playing her to get what he wanted, and she sat back. She was still on his lap, but not sitting quite as intimately.

“What is it?”

“I … I don’t want you to use me. I’m not … I don’t, I’ve never been with a man before, and I don’t want to be with you unless you’re completely serious about this, and it is something you want,” she said.

Her heart pounded inside her chest. She couldn’t believe she had said that to Damion Archer, of all people. This was insane.

He picked up a twirl of her hair and played with the strand between his fingers, and while he did this, he seemed to be so deep in thought. She had no idea what was going on inside his head. Damion was, in fact, a real mystery to her. He could have any woman in Old County. They would all fall for him. Why had he chosen her? She was nothing special, at least, that was what most people thought. He saw exactly how special she was.

“Why are you here?” Vicki asked.

“Because this is where I want to be.”

“Damion, you could have anyone.”

“And yet, I only want you, and that is why I am still here. You’re the only one I want, Vicki. You’re the only reason I’m still here. Trust me, if I didn’t want to be, I wouldn’t be here.” He tucked her curl back behind her ear. “I’m not here for a quick fuck, Vicki. That is not why I’m with you. I’m here for something long-term.”

“But my mom—”

“I don’t give a fuck who your mom is. She has nothing to do with us, and I’m not going to bring her into our shit. She is Thames’s problem now. Not ours. I would never judge you based on what someone else is doing.”

“You wouldn’t?”

“Fuck, no. That shit does not work with me.” He ran his hands up and down her thighs. “I’m going to be real with you, Vicki. I want you. I want this. I want to be with you, and I’m not holding back. You and me, this is what I want.”

“I want that too,” she said.

“Good, which means I am happy to wait until you’re ready. I’m not saying dating me is going to be easy. There will be times I’m going to need to leave, because I’ve got shit to do. I’m not going to tell you everything I’m doing either. That is not your problem.”

“I’m not going to give up on my siblings either.”

“Good, because I don’t want you to. I don’t want you to do anything you’re not comfortable with.”

this story has all of that and more. 🙂

If anyone hurts his wife …

Blurb


Four years ago, Winnie met her husband, Elias Moore. He had stormed a warehouse where she was fighting off multiple attackers and killed them all. He should have killed her. Only, he married her.

Now, she was his wife, and she had to follow his rules.

Elias knew he should have killed Winnie. She had been a witness to murder, but there was no way he was going to allow those fucking animals free. After growing up in the system, he knew she’d had a hard life. There was something about her he just couldn’t let her go. So he kept her.

Now, as his wife, she could have anything she wanted. What did she want? She had fallen for her husband. Winnie knew there was no chance of him loving her. She was just a girl that he saved. However, she was no longer just a girl, but a woman. A woman intent on showing her husband that she could give him everything he needed.

When Winnie is targeted, there is no telling what he will do. He was a monster before, but now, he is unstoppable. Anyone who hurts his wife, will die. No questions asked.

Excerpt:

“What are you doing?” she asked.

“Tell me what happened. Did someone stop you at the club? Did someone scare you?”

She frowned. “What? No.”

“Then tell me, otherwise I am going back there to see what you’re lying about.”

Technically, she was lying, but only to save her own feelings. What if he looked over the security footage and saw her watching him? No, there was no way she could let that happen.

“Did you enjoy your date with the blonde?” she asked, hating the words the moment they spilled from her lips.

Jealousy was a horrible feeling. It was even worse voicing it out aloud. She hated feeling like this.

“Blonde?”

“Yeah, the blonde that was waiting for you, who was very familiar. If you wanted to spend time with your girlfriend, you didn’t have to take me along to humiliate me.” She gritted her teeth.

Winnie tried to be strong, but she felt so fucking useless. She had no right to be angry at him, but she couldn’t help it. He was with other women, and this feeling wasn’t going away. He started to laugh, which made it worse.

She clenched her hands into fists. She was not going to punch him, although it would feel good. Elias didn’t deserve her punches.

“You think that is funny?” she asked.

With every sound of his laughter, it tore her heart out. This was not fun. She wanted to burst into tears.

“Trish is not my girlfriend.”

“Trish? That’s her name. She looked a little too comfortable not to be.”

“Trish is one of the whores I employ. She loves cock and loves making money from riding cock, but I am not fucking Trish.” He didn’t back away. He didn’t give her any space. “Is that what you think?” he asked. “That I’ve got a line of women at my beck and call?”

“Don’t you?”

“No. I could. All it would take is a snap of my fingers, and there would be a line of women waiting to service me, Winnie, but I don’t.”

“Do you expect me to believe that?” she asked.

She was so hopeful that he was telling the truth. Elias had never lied to her, at least not that she was aware of. Did he really have no one?

He leaned in close so his lips were against her ear. The closeness shouldn’t affect her, but she found herself wanting to sink against him.

“Why would I have other women, Winnie, when I have you waiting for me?” he asked.

This made her pull back, and she opened her eyes to look at him. “But … you and I … it’s in name only.”

“For now. But tell me, Winnie, are you curious to know what it would be like between you and me?” he asked. He didn’t pull away. “Is that why you’re jealous? Would you like to be my wife in more than name?”

Every part of Winnie was screaming to run, to hide. This man was a wolf, he was a monster, and she didn’t have any clue what kind of game he was playing. She was no master. She was a child in comparison. Only, that jealousy hadn’t felt nice. She hated it. Lying to him was not the answer.

“Yes,” she said, surprising both of them.

Even more so, she didn’t know how she felt so bold, but she reached up and cupped his face. Elias didn’t move, nor did he move his hands from the counter.

Cupping his face, she stared into his eyes, and then kissed him. She had no idea what she was doing, she followed her intuition. His lips were firm, yet soft, and as she kissed him, the hands that had been trapping her in place wrapped around her.

His touch sent a shockwave of pleasure rushing through her, and she didn’t want him to stop. Their kiss deepened, the first real kiss they had shared.

In pulling her close, she felt the hard ridge of his cock pressing against her stomach, and she let out a little moan, which he swallowed down, kissing her harder. She whimpered, not wanting him to stop.

New Release: A Wife’s Duty

She has a choice to make, but will she make the right one?

This is a completely standalone story.

Blurb


Lucia Valdez knew she was hated by her family, which is why she was given away as a peace offering. Boone Grinder was not a nice man, and he had been making waves for the Bonaldi mafia for quite some time.

No one knew who this man was, what he did, or why he did it. All they knew, was he was responsible for making the streets run red.

Boone Grinder wasn’t your ordinary villain. He didn’t deal in illegal business, and the truth was, he wanted to be left alone. Only, they wouldn’t leave him alone. He saw the injustice that was happening to small businesses at the hands of the Bonaldi mafia, and he couldn’t stand by and allow it to continue.

Taking Lucia as his wife was the first step in their downfall. They believed they had insulted him. In fact, they had given him the woman he wanted. Before things get too far, he gives her a choice—him or her father.

It’s a wife’s duty to stay by her husband’s side. Boone has done nothing but show Lucia kindness, and given her a life she never thought possible. She will always pick him, and as for her family … it was their choice to let her go.

Excerpt:

And then, when it came time to hand out their punishment, he had told them. “I usually give people a choice. One is the right choice, the other is the wrong choice.” He’d looked at the two of them. “But you have both told me you knew who I was, what those people meant to me, and you still did what you did. You attacked a woman who was defenseless, so you made your choice.”

They could have gone to him. He would have listened and dealt with Valdez effectively.

The men had screamed for their lives. To make it fair, he’d not slowly killed one, then worked on the other. They both got to watch as pieces of their body were removed, and currently on the way to Valdez, as well as Bonaldi, as he was now in the shower with Lucia.

They thought they knew who they were dealing with. They were very much mistaken. He was a good man, a kind man, a fair man—to the people that deserved it. To those that didn’t, he was the man monsters feared. There was no remorse.

Seeing Nancy bruised, battered, and broken in that hospital bed was all he needed. Killing those men meant nothing to him. However, he already had wheels in motion for Leandro, as the youngest son had been given instructions to find the means of ending Boone’s life.

The one good thing about going to Valdez’s home was he’d been able to install a few listening devices.

Leandro was going to one of his older apartments, with the intention of setting a bomb. The young man didn’t realize that Boone had already got him beat, and the moment he stepped inside his home, there was a trap ready to lock him in place. All he had to do was wait.

Pulling out of his thoughts, he focused on his wife, her naked body in his arms, and playing with her swollen clit. She shook within his arms, and he continued to tease her clit, knowing she was a virgin and there was no holding back. He felt the change within her, and the moment she came, he listened to the soft gasp that escaped her, and he held her in his arms, refusing to let go. Kissing her neck, then her shoulder, she let out a little moan.

He reached for the soap. His hands were already free of the blood. He wouldn’t have touched Lucia with blood-coated hands. Lathering up the soap, he didn’t bother to reach for the sponge, and instead got to soaping his wife. Touching every inch of her body, running the soap intently across her skin. She didn’t have any ink on her. He noticed there were a few scars.

“Did your father do these?” he asked.

She jerked within his hold, but he refused to let her go. “Yes.”

He’d pay for that as well. Enzo Valdez Senior had already written his death certificate. It was just up to Boone to execute it. As well as Bonaldi. That man was also going to die. The wheels were in motion.

After soaping Lucia’s body, he reached for the shampoo, but Lucia surprised him by taking the soap from him.

“My turn.”

He was not going to argue with her. She lathered the soap up in her hands, much like he had. He watched and waited, knowing that imagining her touch was going to be far different from actually touching him. She looked nervous.

He reached for her hand, then placed it on his chest. “To clean me, you have to touch me.”

She rolled her eyes, and it was so freaking cute, he couldn’t resist stealing a kiss. She let out a gasp.

Wrapping his fingers around her wrists, he didn’t squeeze or hold her too tightly. He got her to run her hands all over his body, getting him soaped up. He noticed she kept biting her lip, and it was so sexy the way she did it. It was like he was a piece of her puzzle she was trying to figure out. When she got to his cock, she hesitated, her hand going stiff within his grip.

Taking hold of her hand, he wrapped her fingers around his length, and he was already starting to get aroused at the sight of her.

“You won’t hurt me.”

“But…”

“Touch me, Lucia.”

He watched her take a deep breath, and then she touched him. her fingers tightening around his length just a little, then squeezing. He gritted his teeth, trying to stay focused. It was next to impossible, although he was not some randy boy. He fucking felt like it with Lucia’s touch. If he came now, it was going to embarrass them both.

“That feels so good,” he said.

Lucia looked up at him. “I’m doing this right?”

“I’d tell you if you were doing it wrong.” He wouldn’t hold back in guiding her to do exactly what he wanted.

She continued to play with his cock, only now she certainly wasn’t cleaning him. It was time to move this to the bedroom.

Turning off the shower, all the blood had been removed from his body, and he picked Lucia up in his arms, not caring that they were still wet. She let out a gasp, and he carried her through to their bedroom, where he placed her on the bed.

“Tell me now you don’t want this,” Boone said.

“I want you.”
