Plucking His Daisy

2022

DAISY I’ve grown up a sheltered princess and the crown I wear is covered in blood. While my brothers were being groomed to take over and expand our family’s empire, illegal as it may be, I was privileged, protected and pampered. It was never what I wanted, but no one ever asked me. The one thing I want I can never have. Lorenzo Vitale. He looks at me like he would walk away from it all sometimes, but now he sits at the right hand of the throne. I know it can never be now. One thing you learn growing up as an Agosti is that taking is the only way. I want a new future, so I’m going to take it. I have one shot at freedom. What I never anticipated was for Lorenzo to show up at the auction. When he buys me will he still take the payment expected—my virginity? Will he want more? I have a feeling I’ll be heartbroken in the end. LORENZO The only person I’m loyal to above Elio Agosti is his sister, Daisy. It pains me to watch her from afar and never touch her or tell her how much I have always loved her. When we were growing up, it was a sweet kind of love. As she blossomed into a woman, I realized it was so much more. Daisy has always been mine. If only being with her was an option. I protect her from a distance instead of holding her close. No matter how much it pains me. Finding out Daisy is selling her virginity changes everything. There is no way I’m allowing another man to touch what belongs to me. If I must buy her to ensure it, then so be it. She’s mine and I’m going to pluck her. I’m going to keep her. Nothing can stop me. \18+. This story has dark themes and a morally gray hero. You’ll still find an insta-love story that is spicy and isn’t necessarily simple, but with darker themes, situations, rough spicy times and depictions of violence (not between the MMC and MFC). No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. This book is part of my Agosti Crime Family series but can be read as a standalone. Meet the Agosti family in Flames and Flowers.

Own Me

The Auction Series

2022

Place your name into the glass bowl... if they draw it, you're sold to the highest bidder. That was how my best friend pitched it and I agreed, because it sounded harmless. It was just for one weekend, and it was for charity, after all. But the man who won me, didn't have a charitable bone in his stone-hard body. Declan Ford shattered my heart back in college and now he was here to finish me off. Seriously, men like that shouldn't be so damn gorgeous. But that was what made his web so irresistible. And of course he insisted on playing by his own rules. Instead of 3 nights it became 6. And instead of a posh weekend in Vegas, it was a secluded cabin in the woods. Then he sweetened the sour deal by offering me money. A lot of money. Money I needed to pay for my sister’s surgery. His piercing gaze dared me to turn him down. I should have thrown his money back in his face. Instead, I said, "game on." I was his for a week. His to tease. His to toy with. His to torment. And just when I was ready to bolt, he smiled… and suddenly I was trapped in his web. Again. Would I ever be free of him? Would I ever want to be? \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_ Step inside the world of The Auction Series where the highest bidder wins.

Now here I am: broke, with no prospects and hardly any friends in an unforgiving city. All I have to offer is my virginity... and I know a place where men are willing to pay top dollar for it. I couldn't have guessed the highest bidder would be the man who stole my heart without trying. Who my father has tasked with keeping me safe and bringing me back into the fold now that the war that killed my best friend is stirring back to life. The last thing I want is to return to the Giordano compound - though losing Beckett again might be worse, especially since he's the only thing standing between me and a bloodthirsty enemy who'd love to use me to strike a blow against my family.
