When Jodie moved to the big city with her best friend after years of sexual abuse from her older brother, she thinks things are looking up when she gets one of the best PR jobs in London. Deciding to celebrate, she goes out for one last wild night with her best friend Ryan to the biggest and most notorious casino in town - home to the entire East End Gangland. 
She's bowled over by the enigmatic, stunningly beautiful Cayden Gates, and follows her old habits for one last orgasmic time before waking up on Monday morning as a responsible adult with a brand new, glittering career, by enjoying a night of burning hot lust and passion with the sexy stranger, and bailing before he wakes up alone in the cold bed.
So, after the hangover wears off, and she strolls into the office Monday morning, imagine her surprise when the mysterious stranger just happens to be a Mr. Cayden James Gates - founder and Managing Director of CJ Industries - and he's more than a little intrigued by his beautiful new payroll, even though she is about as responsive as an icicle - especially when she realises that the one thing you can't run from is your shadow, and her family ties start to choke her.
Will she overcome her demons to step back into temptation with an open heart, or is he a serpent in a brand new Eden? 
And as the stakes climb higher, how willing will he be to fight for her without his own dark secrets stepping out from behind the curtains?All Rights Reserved

The Ties That Bind (Jesse's Story) by EverleighAshcroft

Now, Jesse Reese is back with his own standalone - a sequel to the Watty's Longlisted novel, and a continuation of his story! After a spicy love triangle ends without him getting the girl, Jesse Reese is left to pick up the pieces of his broken heart and move on.

This only lasts a little while, however, once he meets beautiful, charismatic Vanessa Hamilton, his business partner's newly hired assistant. There's something familiar about this woman, however, and it doesn't take Jesse long to remember where he's seen her before: The pair mingled on a New Year's Eve flight three years ago and shared a midnight kiss between strangers, knowing they'd never see each other again. Although Vanessa pretends she doesn't recall the event, saying he must be mistaken - it must've been another woman who looked like her, Jesse is positive that this is the girl from the plane. He doesn't know why she's avoiding the truth, but he makes it his mission to find out. After all, Jesse hasn't been able to erase that kiss from his memory for the past three years. Eternally intrigued by the woman who danced away with his heart in an airport terminal, the longing to taste her lips again is now an overwhelming blaze of need - a fire only Vanessa can put out. © 2021 Evergreen Books.

Sweet Little Pains by Marshay016

It was like coming home. Simon wasn't prepared for the intensity of her kiss. It hit him hard, sucking out all the breath in his lungs. For a moment he was overwhelmed, and then need overtook him. He reached for her, his hand tangling in her hair as he slanted his mouth, pushing hers wider, suddenly desperate for more access to her. The kiss lacked any finesse. It was just plain need, need so deep he felt it to the depth of his soul. It was the kind of need that lacked a clear definition, a need that had him drinking her in desperately. There was only her. There would only be her. No woman would ever be able to measure up to her. It just wasn't possible. She was it for him. Forever. God, he loved her. *** All rights reserved.
