    Tony—my confidant and the bartender I made friends with when I moved to Emerson Falls, Oregon—pushed me to have some fun, a word I’ve forgotten the meaning of since I was betrayed three years ago. But that deep red hair and those curves on that woman drew me in. After life-altering sex, I resigned myself to the fact I’d never see her again. But it seems the universe had other plans. Now we work together and I’m feeling things I never thought I could feel again. Before I know it, we’re so tangled up in each other, these feelings I’ve avoided for years come rushing back, and I feel like I’m on top of the world…That is until a ghost from my past threatens to tear my happiness apart once more. Olivia: I’m thirty-one and single, again. After catching my boyfriend with his dick in his secretary, I take off and head back home to Emerson Falls, reuniting with my family and my three best friends after years away. An out of character decision of mine to have a one-night-stand leads to the best sex I’ve ever had in my life with a man that makes me want more than just orgasms from him. Lucky for me, we cross paths again when I realize he’s actually one of my new co-workers. After a push and pull of emotions, he finally admits he wants more with me, and I fall—hard. Just when all the pieces of my life feel like they’re finally falling into place, fate stirs the pot and threatens to shatter our romance. The threads of our lives were woven so tight, neither one of us thought that the edges could fray. Now the question is, can we untangle the mess and find our happily ever after?

     Brielle Sometimes life doesn’t go as planned. Mine certainly didn’t. One moment I was going off to NYU on a fully paid scholarship, and the next, I had become something I never thought I would be. I learned quickly and the money I made allowed me to pay for my mother’s chemo treatments. Once all of our debts were paid off, I met a man and got out of the business. Then a string of events forced me back inside the world of escorting. But this time, things were different. I built a business and became a high-end escort to the wealthy of the wealthiest; to men who paid me well and allowed me to live a comfortable life. Then one night at an event, I met a man. A sexy, rich, single man who paid me a ridiculous amount of money to spend one night together. I broke my number one rule: Never fall in love with a client. Caden The moment I saw her, I had to have her. I knew what she was, and I didn’t care. I would pay any amount of money for one night with her. After our night was over, I wanted more. I craved more. She was the perfect woman and I didn’t have to worry about her wanting a relationship or falling in love. I made her an offer she couldn’t refuse. I owned her. Everyone has a price. Then things became complicated, and the more time I spent with her, the more my past haunted me. Feelings for her started to take over, but the demons inside me kept me in check, reminding me of what I’d done and making sure that I’d never make the same mistake again. 18+
