Buyer Beware

2017

I said I could do casual… and swore I’d never fall in love. I lied. I know all about her type. Dirt poor. Check. Gold digger. Check. Check. Marcella’s hot as hell and just as intriguing. I live in a swanky Vegas penthouse on top of my equally posh boutique casino. She’s lived in a dilapidated seventies trailer far too long to have patience for billionaire playboys like me that can just snap their fingers and have women fall at their feet, begging to be dominated. She stands for everything I despise. Which is why my obsession with her makes zero sense. She’s innocence incarnate… I’m the guy who steals it. I can have anything I want, whenever I want it. And I want her. Except there’s intelligence and kindness lingering underneath her Goodwill clad outer shell. There’s a mystery there that I yearn to explore. So when I offer to help Marcella and her gamble-a-holic brother rise from the ashes of their meager existence, she grasps the brass ring with both hands. Surprising me. And no one ever surprises me. It doesn’t take her long to realize I’m only doing it so I can control her. I want to possess every part of her. Is it my fault that this glittery town consumes a person’s soul right along with their cash? Marcella Castillo needs to be taught a lesson. She thinks she’s not the kind of girl I can buy and sell. She’s wrong. But somewhere along the line, the boundaries blur. In my heart, I feel a newfound tenderness and vulnerability that I’ve never known. This woman pulls at my heart strings until my solid walls come tumbling down and I let her in. And I’m happy. The happiest I’ve ever been since my dad took himself six feet under leaving me with four younger brothers to raise. Until a vicious sociopath and a haunting secret from Marcella’s past threatens to destroy every single thing I’ve just sold my soul to possess.

Tightwad

2017

I'm a hot shot lawyer from NYC... she'll try to tie me down. She'll fail. Taryn pushes every single limit and every single button, dancing like nobody's watching when every hot-blooded male inside this exclusive club is. And my blood boils because of it. No one is going to touch Taryn's lush body unless that person is me. Security doesn't appreciate her Tony worthy Broadway cage dance complete with jazz hands and thong peek-a-boo. I have to save her, take care of her. Protect her. Since I've wanted her for years, I tell everyone she's my girlfriend and we leave the club arm in arm. It feels good. Right. Only one thing tugs at my heart and mind. She doesn't even recognize me when she damn well should. I've been called a player. Then again, maybe that's what she needs—a man whose taste will linger on her lips for months. A man who knows how to make her come so hard she screams his name. A man who makes her wetter than she's ever been before. If she thinks she's going to walk away after I've had just one little taste of her slick heat, she can guess again. I get whatever I want. And I want her. But when I go to an important business meeting to discuss bringing down my arch enemy, I'm floored. She's already there, baiting me. Teasing me. Making my body rigid with lust. Denying me what I've wanted since college. A vicious criminal hell-bent on revenge, and secrets from her past throw up roadblocks at every turn. I've got a life in NYC and her life is here in Vegas. It can't work. It won't. But that doesn't stop me from taking everything she's willing to give.

Kickback

2017

I built my tech company, Savant, from the ground up. Now, I want to give back, making iPhone apps for kids with disabilities. I'm a billionaire multiple times over, but money doesn't matter to me. She's the only thing that matters. And I left her. Eight years ago, after high school graduation, I fled the scene, leaving her heartbroken. A mafia psycho infiltrated my family and my father killed himself, leaving his five sons orphaned and alone. I couldn't take it. Even she couldn't help me. No one could. I'm willing to put my heart in my hands and beg for forgiveness. I've grown up, and now I'm ready to make her mine. But my lingering desire for Haylee puts everything in perspective. For the first time in my life, I see a future with a woman. I want to create a family, and earn my second chance. Eight years later, I know we probably shouldn't get involved again. Even though her lips tell me to get lost, the look in her hypnotic eyes tells me everything I need to know. She wants me. And I sure as hell never stopped wanting her. Her lush curves beg me to possess them. But she's been hiding something from me. Haylee has a daughter. Atlee has my eyes—and the moment I meet that precious little girl, I know she's mine. And I realize that everything I thought I knew about life and love was wrong. Dead wrong. One touch and I'm lost. I want it all, and I'll take it. Nothing's going to stop me... not even the man who's responsible for my father's death. If he thinks he can keep my family away from me, he's got another thing coming.

After 26 years in Corporate leadership at a Fortune 500, I discovered people within the organization lacked integrity. I’d always known deep in my soul that I was trying to fit a square peg in to a round hole since I’m the typical creative type. I miss my staff but I don’t miss the corporate world. It’s been said that the Universe will let you know if something isn’t right for you. The first time, it will hit you with a pebble. Then a brick. Then a boulder. Let’s just say that I got flattened. When my fifteen pound toy dog, Nigel, was threatened, I knew it was time to say goodbye. It’s true. Here’s what I found within the first thirty days of being free. Writing stories from my heart that readers love means more to me than working myself in to an early grave for people who only care about their bottom line. My heart has never been more full and my soul has never been more satisfied. I’ve never worked so hard in my life but it doesn’t even feel like work. It’s worth it. All of it. Because it’s about the joy that’s found within the journey. The highs and the lows because I get to write stories for all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, enjoying and recommending the stories that I write. When you share my work with others, nothing is more rewarding. Your word of mouth is my very best friend … that, and your reviews. There is nothing more important to me than all of you. I love to hear from my readers and answer all communications personally. You can find me at:
