Excerpt
I walk down the path to the main resort and as I pass by one of the villas, I see one of the attendants leaving and the most gorgeous girl standing in the door. Her blonde hair glows in the sunlight as her slender frame barely take up any space in the doorway. She seems to have a sadness about her, but how can anyone be sad in a place like this? Oh yeah being lonely and having no one. Thatâs me, but why is she looking so sad. When I glance in her direction, I notice she lowers her head, but I see her eyes raise just enough where she is still looking in my direction. I smirk to myself and continue walking by.
I find the bar by the pool get my whiskey from the bartender and find a seat in a quiet corner where I can see everyone and have no one behind me, the curse of who I am I always make sure I have my back to a wall for my own security. I see the target before they see me.
This place is beautiful, tropical and buzzing with sexuality with the sun setting and the dim lighting and Iâm alone. I donât even want to think about whatâs going on in the villa with the others.
A little while later I glance up over the rim of my glass and notice the girl from earlier walking in, not paying any attention to her surroundings while walking up to the bar. Like she was there on a mission. With glass in hand, she turns to look around and spots me in my corner. When she notices me looking at her, she turns away from me, finishes her drink, gets another one and walks out of the bar. There is something that draws my attention to her, beyond the desolate look on her face. Something familiar.

Excerpt
Every breath makes my breasts push out, the air moving down and up, his hands sliding from my shoulders to my elbows, wrapping me in an embrace from behind as he nuzzles my neck, his deep inhale and sigh of pleasure a low rasp, the sound of a man in deep need.
It's a sound I crave. Knowing I make Callum's throat react with that rumble is a victory.
His hands move to my hips, then lower. Mouth on my ear, he whispers âHere,â as he slips the jammer into my front pocket. âCameras.â I slowly turn to face him, pressed against his body as I slide the band over my wrist.
My pulse pounds everywhereâthe crook of my elbows, my temples, in my eyeballs, at the center of my tongueâbut it beats hardest between my legs, the rush of desire more overpowering than I'd ever imagined. In all our training, we were taught that sex is a weapon. Desire is used to manipulate. Atavistic impulses are a biological imperative to use against another person in order to gain the upper hand.
They never told us it could feel so damn good, though.
Spinning me around, his mouth crushes mine, fingers digging into my hair, palms cupping the back of my neck, his body grinding into mine. I didn't come here for sex, but I have a feeling I'm not leaving without it.
I'm not sure I could leave without it, at this point.

Excerpt
I scanned the crowd. Apparently, kink didnât scare off the young, elite, and rich. The usual crowd Iâd see at China White were all here trying too hard not to look desperately bored. Through the crowd, I spotted a flashbulb go off, and I stiffened.
Calm down, mate. Of course, the club had hired photographers for the event. But I eyed the shutterbug again. Slight build. Dirty blond hair gelled up into spikes. I could have sworn Iâd seen him before. The hairs on the back of my neck stood at attention, but I couldnât place the guy. I needed to calm down. The hiring staff would only hire reputable photographers. They knew that we required the utmost privacy, and they wouldnât hire anyone who had ever worked with the tabloids. But still, I couldnât shake the feeling Iâd seen the guy before. Maybe he was one of Xanderâs students?
âSpeaking of complicationsâ¦â I muttered. I couldnât have missed Abbieâs entrance with her friends if Iâd been trying.
Sophie squealed when she spotted me, and immediately a flock of women swarmed the models. One of the guys put his arm around Abbie, and I had the irrational urge to plant my fist in his face.
Sheâd texted earlier to say she was going out, but I had no idea sheâd end up here.
As always, she looked stunning. Sheâd worn her braids piled on top of her head in some kind of bun, with long dangling earrings showing off her slender neck.
Gemma glanced toward the entrance. âGiven the electric sparks between you two across a room, I see why the urgency.â
âLeave it, Gem.â
âJust saying. Give me a couple of weeks before you two get cited for public eye shagging.â She gathered up her purse. âI think Iâll go see what Nickâs up to.â
I didnât even see which way she went because my attention was so focused on Abbie. And as if she felt my eyes on her, she immediately looked up.
When our gazes locked, need chased the elation through my veins. Iâd only seen her yesterday, but any time I spent away from her felt like eons. But it wasnât like I could really complain. Sheâd had work to do for my brother. I tried not to think about what Xander had said about her. It didnât matter what Xander thought. I couldnât stop seeing her.
She climbed the stairs, her soft skirt swishing against her legs as she did. When she reached the landing, she fixed me with a smile. âFancy meeting you here.â She looked around surreptitiously. âIn a sex club.â
âOh, is it a sex club? I hadnât noticed.â I grinned. âNickâs idea.â
âAhh, he didnât really strike me as the whips-and-chains kind of guy.â She shrugged.
For several moments, we stood facing each other, neither moving, forcing anyone who wanted access to the stairs to go around us. Finally, I angled my body a little closer to her and said, âItâs one of his dadâs clubs. Do you want to go somewhere a little more private⦠to talk?â
Her eyes flashed. âYeah.â She cleared her throat. âTalking seems like a really good idea, actually.â
I took her hand and led her through the throngs of the VIP section, past the dominatrix with her victim for the night, and past the sex viewing rooms. She held on tight to me as we passed by them.
âAre they havingâ¦â
âYeah.â As much as I wanted to be with her, I hated having her here in the midst of all the kink that was going on. âMaybe we should leave the club?â
âIâNo. Itâs okay. We came as a group for Jasperâs gig tonight. Apparently, thereâs some big promoter here. Jasperâs hoping to get some representation tonight. Weâre sort of supporting him. Everyone would notice if I left.â
âRight.â Jasper. Jasper might be my friend, but jealousy ate at me. I wanted her there to support me. Of course, Iâd have to tell her something real about myself first. I found the private rooms, then after looking around to make sure no one paid us any attention, I dragged her inside. Dim red light illuminated the comfortable-looking couch and bed. Her eyes widened as she glanced around. âThis is⦠cozy.â
I kissed her softly, and for a moment, all the tension ebbed out of my body. âI just wanted to be alone with you for two minutes before things get crazy out there and we donât have a minute to talk all night.â
âNo. Itâs fine.â She placed a hand on my chest, and my heart hammered. âIâd rather get a minute with you, even if itâs in a sex room. I wanted to talk to you about something.â
Weâd spent a lot of time together over the last week, but we hadnât been alone. Always out in public. Even the photo lab had been occupied when Iâd gone to help her. The one night weâd made a date for her to go to my place, sheâd had to do some schoolwork for Xander and rescheduled. The prick of guilt stung as I thought of how badly her last critique had gone.
âOkay, talk.â I kissed the crook of her neck and inhaled. Her perfume, mixed with her unique scent, drove me a little crazy and made my head swim.
âAlexi, I canâtââ She moaned when I licked her. âI canât think when youâre doing that.â
âOkay, sorry.â I drew back. âSometimes I forget to slow down.â
She blinked up at me and inhaled deeply. âSometimes I donât want you to.â
I stilled. What? âI donât understand.â
âHave you noticed that even after we said weâd ease up on intensity weâve been spending every minute we can together?â
Something ominous and slimy squirmed in my gut. âI thought that was a good thing.â
âIt is. Maybe we donât need to take it quite so slow anymore.â
Relief washed over me like a wave. As did panic. I was totally fucked. I was completely in love with her. And there were things she still didnât know about me.

Excerpt
âI could date you.â He blurts it like he wants to get it out of his mouth before he can take it back. Itâs my turn to laugh at him now. A disbelieving scoff comes from me and I just stare at him in horror.
âNo,â I reply âJust, No.â
âWhy not? It would work. The girls never bothered Veronica. Itâs only because they feel like thereâs a position to be filled.â
âThey may not have bothered her, but Iâm sure that didnât stop them from still being up your ass. Plus you donât want that. You donât want a relationship.â
âDonât tell me what I want, Farah.â For the first time he sounds irritated with me, or maybe just this conversation.
âI donât need you to do me any favors,â I tell him bluntly.
âGod-damn, Iâm not doing you a âfavorâ. Iâm trying to do myself one, Iâm not ready to let go of you just yet. I want more time with you and if that means we are dating, exclusively, then so be it.â Heâs breathing heavy, like saying that took a lot out of him. I just stare back, trying to read into what heâs doing. Is this reverse psychology?
He stalks towards me, slowly, hesitantly and he reaches out for my hand by my side.
âAll I can think about is being near you. Just let me have that.â His eyes are sincere, and I get the feeling he isnât allowed to feel this vulnerable very often. I nod to him.
âOkay.â Why did I say that? I didnât mean okay. I meant âno, not in this lifetime.â I meant âgo find some other poor soul to suck the life out of.â Heâs practically a dementor.
A smile lifts to one side of his face. âOkay.â His other hand lifts to my chin and he pulls my own mouth to his. His tongue finds my own and itâs warm and inviting. His touch feels like magic that I didnât know I needed.

Excerpt
Prologue
Alissa
When your whole world implodes and in the matter of hours and your happily ever after turns to dust, life sucks.
Iâm left holding the baby. Literally.
The baby being my eleven-month old daughter, Nora, who knows nothing of her fatherâs failure to be a decent husband⦠man⦠well human-being really. Heâs a shitty person and thatâs all there is to it. Our story started out like your typical fairy-tale. Goosebumps still prickle my skin when I remember the way he chased me throughout Senior school, and the years of romance that followed. And the proposal and wedding? Just call me Cinde-fucking-rella. But my perfect life came crashing down as quickly as that pink line appeared on the pregnancy test. Apparently a tired, puffy and hormonal wife didnât exactly make my husbandâs dick stand to attention. So, in a move I can only imagine was driven by his little head (and I do mean little,) he decided my ex-best friend was a better option.
Thatâs right I said ex because before she did the dirty with my husband she was the best friend. I told her everything, confided in her and cried on her shoulder about my non-existent sex life and all the while her own sex life was heating up with my husband. Weekends away on âbusiness tripsâ and doing all the things a wife should be doing with her husband. Except she was his slutty side piece with a big fat mouth and a huge spent pussy the whole football team had ridden so often they called her the local bike.
Yeah, Iâm bitter and I donât care. Iâve been wronged by the two people I trusted the most. Now Iâm a single mother with no social life to speak of, and my only conversation is in baby gobbledegook. I actually look forward to the delivery woman ringing the doorbell when I order groceries online. Yeah, I have them delivered. Have you ever tried juggling a crying baby and a shopping cart while concentrating on what comfort food you plan to stuff your face with that night while crying over chick flicks? Yeah, Iâm miserable, itâs obvious, right?
Author Bio
Iâm a born and bred East Yorkshire lass. Where I still live with my husband and our children.
A self-confessed night owl, thatâs usually when I do my best work, lucky for me home-schooling my daughter gives me plenty of time to catch up on those late-night hours writing, although my irrational love of full sugar coke can help with that tooâdonât tell the sugar police. I wrote my first book when my daughter was born back in 2004, but it stayed on my laptop for years while I worked out what to do with it. Things were sure different back then, and to be able to publish a manuscript youâd poured your soul into seemed a far-off dream, one that I didnât know would ever come true. While my first book baby festered on my hard drive, I went on to study a Creative Writing and English degree, while also growing our family with not only children but more puppies and dogâs than a sane woman should have. With a degree under my belt, those original characters, tucked safely far away from sight, still called to me like old friends. Using my new skills and knowledge I decided to give them the attention they deserved. Forbidden Love is the result of those long years of maturing and I couldnât be prouder of how my first novel turned out. What began as one story, fifteen years ago, grew to become a series and in 2016 I took the plunge and dove into the indie publishing world releasing Forbidden Love to feedback that blew my mind. And here I still am, loving every minute, bringing characters that hold a place in my heart to life. All I can do now, is hope you are here to join me for the ride.
