Destructive Relations

2023

I’ve been the good son all my life. He’s been the troublemaker. Parrish Turner has always been my ultimate fantasy. He was my gay awakening, my sweetest torture, and my forbidden fruit ever since my father remarried and merged our families. And he never even noticed me. I was nothing more but an annoyance. The most I got from him was a growl or a bark. And it was enough to make me wild with desire. Until he left. Now, five years after I’d last seen him, we’re back in the same house. Even worse, we’re in tight quarters, forced to share the same bed. Luckily, it's only for a couple of weeks. But that is long enough for my will to cave in. Especially now that I’ve got nothing else to lose and Parrish is starting to tease me in ways I can’t even interpret. Either he's trying to bully me for fun, or he's flirting. With him, the two are never far apart. He blurs the line between right and wrong. And I can’t resist the temptation that could only ever end in the destruction of whatever family we have left. Destructive Relations is the first novel in the Destined to Fail series. You can expect forced proximity (only one bed), two young men who hate each other, forbidden love, heart, heat, humor, and a happily ever after.

Shameless Affairs

2023

I never wanted anyone this much. Especially not a guy. Aaron stumbled into my arms and I wasn’t able to let go of him since. Wounded, he needs a place to crash and a friend to help him through. He’s so hurt and lost that he makes me want to be his protector against the world. But strange, new feelings rise very quickly. Being around him makes me imagine things a straight guy has no business wanting. Least of all a taken, straight guy. But the longer he’s with us, the more I want him all for myself. Until my girl sparks one fight too many, then goes away. And it’s just us boys. And I see the look of desire in his eyes. How many bridges will burn? How many hearts break? How far are we willing to go in the name of love? Shameless Affairs is the second novel in the Destined to Fail series. This book explores the themes of infidelity and love that requires sacrifices. It includes close proximity, bisexual awakening, and a gray take on the ‘cheating with each other’ trope. While this is the second novel in the series, it can be read as a complete standalone (but it’s more fun to read in the order of release).

Explicit Transactions

2023

I’m the prince of the night; the fulfillment of every one of your desires; the human form of every dirty thought you’ve ever had. If you can afford me, of course. Luca DiMarco can afford me. The flashy socialite and the hottest face of the upper echelon, he’s loaded enough that entire weekends with me are nothing more than pocket change. Luca is relentless. I gave him something in our encounters which he can’t live without. And he’s doing everything in his near-infinite power to keep it. He’s going out of his way to make me feel good. It almost feels like he cares. And he's making it really hard to resist the attention. Boys like me don’t go around falling in love with their clients. They don’t expect a Prince Charming to carry them away. Yet both of those things seem to be happening to me. But there are greater forces at work trying to tear us apart. And I’m not brave enough to face them. Explicit Transactions is the third standalone installment in the Destined to Fail series. It features a strictly transactional relationship between one very independent contractor (cough, cough) and one wealthy crime empire princeling who has more in common with his escort than either imagines. Get ready for a rags-to-riches, forbidden romance full of heat and heart, with a guaranteed happy ending.
