Synopsis
When you fall in-love it’s forever
But sometimes forever comes with a
price.
I never meant to meet Nathaniel
Teller. It was by accident, on a Tuesday, that I walked into his bar. He was
solemn, intense and hiding a secret behind those stoic green eyes.
I never intended to fall in-love
with him. We were supposed to be just friends. But I fell for him hard, deep.
There’s no turning back.
I never thought his past would be so
dark. And if I thought I had any chance of being in his future, I was wrong.
Because his past is his future.
And I need to walk away.

Excerpt
He is about to take a shot. His eyes
lose focus, and he stands and looks at me. “Why him?”
I tilt my head at Nate. I don’t know
if they’re reflective of the green felt of the pool table, but right now, his
eyes are so piercing and mesmerizing. I swear, he can see right through me.
“Why was he worthy of a second
date?” he asks.
I open my mouth to answer but close
it for fear that I’ll say something wrong.
Why Brent? Because he’s emotionally
available. Because he has the perfect career and a full head of hair and loves
cats and classical music and is lukewarm to sports.
And, most importantly, because the
man I really want to be interested in me is with someone else.
“He checks all the boxes.” My voice
is low.
Nate’s chest rises with a deep
breath. His eyes are stone cold and scorching hot all at once. He is so far
away, yet I can feel his exhale on my skin.
With his eyes still on mine, Nate
takes a step back from the table. “He has a lot of money. He can take care of
you.”
I nod my head. “Yes.”
Nate takes a few steps, slow and
steady, toward the corner of the table in my direction. His eyes curve in
question, yet their focus never leaves mine.
“He was married. Probably ready to
settle down again. Start a family.”
I nod again.
Even closer, he places his pool
stick on the table. I have no idea what his mission is, but it’s making my
palms sweat and my breathing erratic.
“Did he tell you that you’re
beautiful?”
My breath hitches, and I nod my head
again. Nate is now just a few inches from me. His gaze is hard and stern on
mine.
“He’s an idiot. He should have told
you that you’re fucking gorgeous.” His words are hypnotic, but the tone he
delivers them in is rough, raw.
“That wasn’t a requirement. I don’t
need a man to tell me I’m pretty.”
“I know what your boxes are. He is
the perfect guy for you. That’s why I have to know…”
Nate’s chest is now flush with mine,
his forehead bowing down to meet mine, and I lose all air from my lungs.
“Why are you here with me and not
with him?”
I swallow hard. “Because he’s not
you.”

PURE ABANDON
Synopsis
KATHRYN GRAYSON has it all—a beautiful husband, new baby, and a
life most women would dream of. But after putting her career on hold for her
family, Kathryn sets out to reclaim the woman she once was.
When Kathryn meets her new boss, ALEXANDER ASHER, Manhattan playboy
and heir to his family’s fortune, their relationship is heated… and not in a
good way. The two are at odds, playing a cat-and-mouse game that has Kathryn
pouncing.
Kathryn seeks the comfort of her husband, GABRIEL MONROE, an
up-and-coming attorney who seems to have less and less time for his wife as his
career takes flight, leaving her dreaming about the days when their love story
was a fairy tale.
After a heated argument, a box of Twinkies and a very elaborate
display of white roses, Kathryn and Asher call a truce. She unravels a deeper
side of him, and they develop a fierce connection that leaves Kathryn wondering
what is appropriate… and what is not.
When Kathryn becomes suspicious of Gabriel’s activities, she finds
herself alone and far away from home with the charismatic Asher. After a night
of drama, honesty, and pure eroticism, Kathryn’s will to stay away from Asher
is tempted like never before.
In a battle of self-discovery, Kathryn must choose between them.
Both men are devastatingly broken by her actions—and she can only fix one of
them. But when she makes her choice, will he even want her after all that’s
happened?
