Those Three Words
I never thought getting fired from my dream job would change my life.
And I certainly never imagined three little words would be my undoing.
Trust me—they’re not the words you’re thinking.
Those three delicious, toe-curling words whispered by my boss were where it all changed.
When budget cuts at my local school leave me scrambling to find a job before I get evicted, I stumble upon the listing of a lifetime.
How hard can being a live-in nanny for a little five year old girl be?
Especially when it’s double the salary and comes with a sexy, single dad.
But the moment I step inside Graham Hayes multi-million dollar estate and meet the grumpy billionaire—I know I’m in way over my head.
It’s not just that he’s quite possibly the most attractive man I’ve ever seen, it’s the way he stares at me like it takes everything he has to keep from devouring me.
The way he curls his hands into fists to avoid touching me.
The way he reprimands me through gritted teeth while his lust filled eyes burn through me.
The naughty things he whispers against my lips as his hands explore me.
Way over my head.
Caring for his daughter is a dream—even his mother loves me.
Soon, I’m head over heels in this fantasy I’m living.
I’m even able to ignore the cryptic threats from his house-keeper who’s hellbent on getting me fired.
But I’m not prepared for the world of high-powered billionaires and glitzy parties.
Besides, Graham isn’t like these people—he’s different.
At least, I think he is…until a shady character I’ve tried to leave in the past reappears as Graham’s new business partner and I’m reminded that I don’t belong in this world.
Sometimes life changing news comes in the form of just three simple words.
Sometimes it comes in the form of an unexpected, heart-wrenching secret and the fairytale is shattered.
Sometimes, it comes in the form of the opportunity of a fresh new start.
You just have to be willing to take the risk and walk away or maybe…there’s three little words that can fix it all.
Just This Once
I swore to myself that I’d never cross that line with her.
But when Savannah Monroe, my chief operations officer, shows up on my doorstep with a proposition that starts with her in my lap and a promise of just this once…breaking the rules suddenly seems so enticing.
At fifteen years my junior and the smartest woman I’ve ever met, she’s by far the greatest asset at Baxley Tech.
From the moment I hired her, we had a connection—as friends, as a mentor.
A lingering touch.
A stolen glance.
An unspoken attraction that simmers just beneath the surface, threatening to boil over.
So when she reveals a painful secret she’s been hiding from me that involves my CFO, I don’t hesitate…I take care of it immediately.
Or so I thought.
But the lies and corruption go much deeper than I ever realized and now we’re in a tangled web of passion and secrecy.
After our one night together, everything changes.
The thought of her in the arms of another man turns me into someone I don’t recognize—insatiable, hungry.
Indulging in every filthy thought I’ve had about her for three years is one thing, but losing my heart in the process wasn’t part of the deal.
But here’s the thing about forbidden fantasies…they usually come at a price.
And this one, just might be deadly.
When a blackmailer threatens to destroy her life and everything she’s worked for, I take matters into my own hands.
Because when it comes to Savannah Monroe, there is no negotiation.
No backing down.
No Limits.
No Rules.
No losing her.
We promised each other it would only be just this once.
But now that I’ve had a taste…I want my fill.
Beg For It
You know that feeling—the one where you tell yourself it’s a terrible idea but you know you’re going to do it anyway?
Even though you know that this man isn’t just your father’s best friend who’s twenty years your senior…he’s your new boss.
I’m the good girl that’s always done the right thing and yet here I am, fresh out of grad school feeling directionless in life and love.
So at the suggestion of my once estranged billionaire father, I agree to an interview at his best friend’s company.
The moment I step into Beckham Archer’s office, I recognize "Mr. Daddy Issues."
The mysterious, older man I shamelessly flirted with only a few nights ago…the same man who left my number in a crumpled ball on the bar top before disappearing.
The power he possesses drives me absolutely wild, making me want to cross the boundaries he demanded we put into place.
Soon, I’m kneeling before him as he shows me all the ways a man should please me.
Dominating me.
Controlling me.
Allowing me how to let go under his command but with one caveat...he's not my happily ever after.
"I won’t cuddle you or hold you or kiss you good night. All I can offer you is a fantasy."
But no amount of warnings that he’s the wicked man who will break my heart can scare me away.
No amount of reminders that he’s old enough to be my father can deter me from wanting him.
I realize there’s more to this man than a billion dollar empire and a wall around his heart.
He listens to me, offering to mentor me and providing me the guidance I lacked in my childhood.
As hard as I try to keep my heart out of it, the harder I fall.
I want more than the fantasy...I want it all, even at the risk of losing everything.
But our little secret doesn’t stay quiet for long and soon, my father finding out is the least of my worries…it’s the secret that Beckham’s been hiding from me.
One thing I’ve learned about Beckham Archer—he’s the type of man that doesn’t wait for people to do something; if he wants it, he makes it happen.
The type of man that has me wanting to break all the rules.
The type of man that can make me beg for it.
Dark as Knight
If Peter stands at the Pearly Gates, then billionaire Atlas Knight stands at the gates of Hell…and I just married him.
Hard to say no to five million dollars, even if it means selling your soul to the devil.
His proposition was simple: one year of marriage, after which, we both walk away.
The deal of a lifetime offered to me by the mysterious, yet sexy stranger that’s been coming into my coffee shop the last several months.
After all, how hard can it be to live a life of pure luxury for a year on the arm of a man that looks like a walking fantasy?
There’s only one rule—no physical relationship.
A rule I’m convinced he’s dying to break no matter how many times he reminds me through gritted teeth and veiled threats of punishment.
I thought a broken heart was the worst that could happen when all this was over, but I had no idea the truth that lurked around the corner, waiting to destroy us.
A lion keeping a sheep for a pet is dangerous…especially when she has no idea.
