After a bitter marriage, Paxton seeks respite from his loss. Rediscovering his writing, he never expected creating a piece worthy of reading nor for two unsuspecting paths to cross in the most unconventional of ways. Thousands of miles separated them, yet he'd never felt closer to anyone. Finding out that happiness and love was attainable again, was one thing. Having Alissa, was another. When the two meet, sparks fly, chemistry is beyond explosive, and emotions reach a boiling point. Their brief love affair ignited the fuse but what Paxton neglected to anticipate was that his son would fall for the sweet, meek demurred woman in Alissa or the fact the woman would be their salvation; in more ways than one.RECOMMENDED READING ORDER:Once Written, Twice ShyAlmost ForgottenPlay Me to InfinityTo Forgive & Hold SafeA Heart's War…

Her body throbbed with the aftermath of his explosive pleasuring. She was beside herself that a man such as him would be drawn to her of all people. Sure, they’ve shared glances but not once had she ever imagined that something like this would ensue.His hands were heaven and she wished that he would keep them on her at all times and never let go. His lips were torture as he had licked and kissed down her body and pleasured her most intimate parts while she lay there quivering and begging for more. He ravaged her until she broke. In truth, this man was the whole package. So why had he chosen her to inflict the most wonderful kinds of all fiery tortures known to mankind?© Carey Decevito, 2012All rights reserved…

Jake had it all: women, money, great looks. For all intents and purposes, he was happy.A series of women and an unexpected appearance by a ghost from his past cause him to re-evaluate his life.She'd broken his heart, all those years ago, and Jake chose to live the life of a bachelor there on out. Along with his fast-paced career, he ran a fast-paced social life. It's what worked for him. Or he'd convinced himself it did.The loneliness his large home presented the minute the housekeeper went home and the women that warmed his bed deserted him, left him wanting. Could he have what so many of his friends already did: the woman, the family, the house with the white picket fence? Maybe. But just because he desired these things, things he'd sworn off ages ago, doesn't mean that they were destined for him.RECOMMENDED READING ORDER:Once Written, Twice ShyAlmost ForgottenPlay Me to InfinityTo Forgive & Hold SafeA Heart's War…

She was bound to crack some time, right? Caught up in a vicious cycle of revenge, Mika Stafford adopted a second life - call her a vigilante if you will.
