LaClaire Nights

2017

Some marriages last a week, a month, or a year. Others last a lifetime. Mine ends on my wedding night, ten hours after the exchange of rings. Our marriage vows shatter when Dustin Cardwell, the man I saved myself for, looks me in the eye and tells me I failed between the sheets. Our marriage ends before the ink dries, before the scent of my bouquet fades, before the candles in our honeymoon suite burn out. Three months later, I'm divorced and working as a massage therapist on the LaClaire Cruise Ship, headed for the Caribbean. I'm desperate to get away, to lick my wounds in private. I'm not looking to be another man's disappointment. Until Bryant LaClaire invades my space and makes my panties melt. The moment our eyes meet, he makes it clear I'm his girl of the moment. Drawing me in with his charm and good looks, he promises to repair my sexual self-esteem while satisfying his own needs. A few LaClaire nights is all he can give. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s an offer my body can’t resist. But when my heart lures me into the heart and world of a man who carries a devastating secret, I know I’m in danger of returning home with more pain than I'd left with. LaClaire Nights is a steamy full-length, standalone novel with a happy ending. \\WARNING: Due to sexual situations and adult content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.\\

When a man buys my body, I shut off my emotions, close my eyes, and force myself to push through. No thinking. No feeling. No breaking apart. Soon the debts will be paid.

For now, I belong to any man who can afford me. But when Derrick LaClaire asks for a night with me, I turn him away, even when he offers to pay triple what I earn per hour. I need his cash, but if I let him touch me, I know I'll break every single one of my rules. And he'll discover who I really am. LaClaire Touch is a steamy full-length, standalone novel with a happy ending. \\WARNING: Due to sexual situations and adult content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18. \\

Laclaire Kiss

2017

Twelve years ago, I hit the ground … hard. Now I carry around a broken body and a bruised heart. My body has let me down. Life has let me down. I want out, but not even death wants me. When Alice Dupuis walks into my life from the past, she finds me a wealthy, bitter, angry man. She tells me I’m afraid of living. I’m determined to prove her wrong. I promise her three days. Three days in which I’ll do things I haven’t done in years. After that, I’ll go back to staring out the window all day, thinking about death. But life has one sick sense of humor. Warning: LaClaire Kiss is a heart-wrenching standalone novel. To get to know the LaClaire brothers better, it is recommended to read books 1 and 2 first.
