I will be putting out the boxset super fast, which is the full story. ** 18+ Sexual Situations and Language Lust has always been the emotion of choice; love nothing more than a silly game played by delusional fools. Lisa Parks has been successful at everything she touches, her confidence her calling card. A recent move to Maine from New York is just the change of atmosphere she needs for a fresh start.

In a quick turnaround trip to help his older sister Kari move to Maine after heartbreak, Marc meets the woman that just might be his match. Lust has been a reoccurring theme in his life, and he has no plans of changing that. He is young and free, handsome and ready to set the world on fire, and finds that he is justified in breaking hearts everywhere he goes. Besides, love is a game played by many and truly won by few. No way would he ever consider settling down or letting someone into his heart. That is… until he meets Lisa.
