It’s all gone to shit.
I hate where I am but I’m so lost with absolutely no idea where to go from here. I f*cked it all up royally.
You would think I had learned from my past, but no, my past slams back to haunt me at every turn and I’ve failed again.
I tried, I really did but I know I f*cked up because of my stupid wild side, craving sinful pleasures that I should never have started.
But out of all the things that have gone wrong, there is one thing I can put right.
And I’m going to.
It’s time to be the man I should have been from the beginning. I don’t want to live with these secrets hanging over me, but just how much do I reveal to keep the woman I love?
Sometimes the truth isn’t pretty and my secrets definitely aren't.
Karina
I knew it was too good to be true.
He was a player, a man-whore through and through and leopards don’t change their spots, do they?
What is he trying to hide? His evasive behaviour is a dead giveaway that he’s not telling me the truth.
Then, just when I think I know what I’m going to do, I get the shock of my life when I see Connor out with a person I never even knew existed.
Was our whole relationship built on secrets? After what I stumbled across and then what I saw, I wonder how much Connor has been keeping from me.
Left with no choice, I have to confront him. I need answers and I deserve answers and I will not leave until I have them this time.
The question is, does he love me enough to reveal the truth?
More importantly, will I survive it if he does?
** This book is the conclusion to Connor and Karina's story. **

Samantha Jacobey: Anyone who knows me could
tell you, I am a friendly kind of person, never met a stranger and take up
conversations any where at any time. I work hard, and my mind never seems to
shut down, as I wake up often in the middle of the night with ideas pouring out
and demanding to be dealt with. Of course that means much of my books were
written in the middle of the night.
I grew up and still live in the great state of
Texas where everything is bigger, where we have warm weather and a central
location. I love my state, my town, and my family, which includes my four sons,
my significant other, and many friends as well.
I have thoroughly enjoyed writing the books that
are currently available and hope you will enjoy reading them just as much. And
of course, there will be many more stories to come.

Although born in New Orleans, I am proud to call
myself an Alaskan. This has been my home since 1976. I have seen minus 40
degree temperatures, hauled water, made bear bacon, and I live in a cabin. I
used a fishwheel to catch salmon coming up the Copper River. I was my second
husband's chief mechanic's helper and roadie. I cut firewood on shares. I
worked as a cocktail waitress during pipeline days in a small Lodge on the
Richardson Highway.
My second husband, a Scot from Glasgow, was the
love of my life. When I write Scots dialect, I experienced hearing it from my
in laws. When my husband got on the phone to Scotland, after five seconds I could
hardly understand a word.
We moved to the town of Wasilla to get warm. It
seldom drops past minus 25 degrees here in the winter. I became a paralegal and
worked for over twenty-six years for the same firm.
Alaska is my home. I never thought I would love
it so much; I never want to leave. The beauty of Alaska is a draw I cannot
resist. I love the people and the history. I have been captured by a place I
came to under duress. Life plays some interesting tricks on one. My love and I
were not apart over twenty-four hours for twenty plus years. I never wanted to
be anywhere but with him. He was a man to run the river with and was my biggest
fan.
Ella Medler is a U.K. author and
free-lance editor. She writes fiction in more than one genre in a seemingly
vain attempt to slow down her overactive brain enough to write non-fiction on
subjects she knows a thing or two about. She also does not believe in the starchy
use of English and ignores the type of rule that doesn't allow for a sentence
to be finished in a preposition. Her books - whatever genre they may be - are
action-driven. Well-developed, multi-layered characters are her forte.
Loves: freedom.
Hates: her inner censor.
As a child, Teri Riggs made
up her own bedtime stories. When her children came along, Teri always tweaked
the fairy tales she told her daughters, giving them a bit more punch and better
endings when needed.
Now she spends her days turning her ideas into
books. She lives in Marietta, GA with her husband.
I write erotic romance.
LJ SeXton: Born and raised in Michigan right
outside of Detroit. I have two adult daughters and a chihuahua who is more
needy then my girls ever were. I have loved to read and write fiction stories
since I was in elementary school.
J.C. Clarke: An author? Yeah, well I'm getting
there, hopefully.
I’m not really one for blabbing about myself,
but I can give you a few starters, if you’re interested.
I’m a mum of four kids, two girls and two boys
and I’m married to a wonderful man who puts up with my crap.
We live in an area near Southampton (UK) called
the New Forest, which is very beautiful. There’s ponies, donkeys and wild deer
and cattle all over the place, so it makes it very interesting living here at
times.
I design for a living, but I am self taught, so
I have a long way to go.
I’m a very down to earth thirty year old and
yeah, I dabble with writing.

R. G. Williamson: I'm a happily married family
man from the North of England, UK.
I like the feeling a good book gives me. I like
to feel emotionally attached to the characters, I want to live their lives, I
want to worry about them, laugh with them, cry with them, celebrate their
achievements with them, love them, hate them, but most importantly, I want to
feel something, anything.
I hope you enjoy my writing style and come away
from my books feeling something!
Phoebe Parkes: After I got over the rejection
of not becoming a Bond girl, I set my goals a little lower in the world of fast
cars, sexy men and bank accounts that match their crotch sizes - yes, HUGE. I
decided it was about time that all these glorious characters that I dream up
needed to be brought to life. So Bond's loss is my gain, because I don't just
get stuck with one 007 I get as many as I want and I can have them as gorgeous
as I want them, as sexy as they deserve or sometimes even dark and disturbing
but still ultimately phoaar. (Hopefully ☺)
I mean come on, who the heck really needs to
'bond' with Bond eh when you can dream up a whole cast of hot, muscled,
sun-kissed, drop dead gorgeous males! When you can have men that all fall at
your feet, worship your creative mind... lust after your curves and swoon at
your utter gorgeousness... Yeah, that doesn't happen either, well not on the
scale you're imagining anyway, wink-wink.
So, this is me, armed and dangerous, my mind
honed and poised and ready with enough ammo to bring a horde of sexy mayhem.
The stories in my head are finally being let loose. I apologise in advance for
any loss of control, hernias or sheer frustration caused as a result of my
imagination. Any legal action, (which would be completely unwarranted), should
be taken up with the person who was the Bond Girl dream wrecker, in other
words, it really isn't my fault so my conscience is clear. ;-)
Finally shutting up (yes me) and leaving you
with a more serious thought, please sit back, relax and enjoy my over-indulgent
brain cells as they go into over-drive to bring you some British shenanigans,
done the Phoebe Parkes way. Enjoy ☺
