Takeover

2014

A single night. When Mr. CEO walks into the hotel bar, tense and desperate, Michael wants nothing more than to spend his last night of vacation helping the handsome man unwind. No ties except around his wrists. One night in Curacao with that dominating stranger isn’t enough for Sam. Sex has never been that intense or real. Except reality is in Pittsburgh, where he’s not out and has a failing company to save. The best night of his life will have to live on in his memory. Now they must work together. Until his memory becomes his employee. Michael’s on Sam’s payroll, and strictly off-limits. Except neither can forget Curacao, and one night isn’t nearly enough. But another one could break the fragile reality that’s already spinning out of control and destroy both their futures. This ~60,000-word book was previously published, and has been lightly edited. Also includes the bonus ~8,500-word short story A Private Merger.

Just Business

2015

From the thrilling new author of Takeover, a steamy new novel about having all the control—and losing it… Note from the author: This is the followup to Takeover and features Justin and Eli. Sam and Michael are fairly important characters in this book as well. Justin White may not look like an up and coming corporate superstar, but his new boss knows he has the smarts, grit, and determination to succeed. Now he just has to convince his company’s CFO, Eli Ovadia. Unfortunately, Justin can’t seem to keep his cool around the domineering Eli—and soon he finds himself taking their heat from the boardroom into the bedroom…. Still haunted by a tragic accident that left him with a wounded leg and broken heart, Eli has a need to be in control. But his desire for Justin makes him want to lose that control—and push them both far beyond their limits. But will his need to dominate Justin drive him away—or will Eli find a way to be the man he needs for both of them?
