Winning Her Curves


Flora Ferrari - 2020
    Unlike my mob competitors, I don’t have family to back me up, but I do have a tight knit team and I’m the master of my own domain. I answer to no one, nothing gets me rattled. Until the day she walks in… She’s fucking perfect. And she’s in my Casino. I’d say that’s as good as possession, which is nine tenths of the law. Ten tenths in my books. Vincent’s law. Georgia I’m only here to save my dad’s ass, to get enough money to pay his mob debt and get the hell outta here. I’m into books, not slots and craps. The casino is plus sized scary and the looks I’m getting from the guy opposite me are enough to make me think I’m in for a whole lot more trouble than I bargained for. Vincent Chambers to the rescue. He’s probably the hottest guy on the planet, and if I can only get my foot out of my mouth long enough, I might even be able to get him to help save my dad’s ass. But something tells me he has both his smoldering eyes on my own curvaceous behind. He wants to make me his, to feed, seed then breed me. If I can just get past the ‘girl like me’ complex, I think I might have just found the man of my dreams. But is it really that easy? Does love at first sight really exist regardless of age and size differences? I’m prepared to die finding out.

Dear little thief, I know what you came for. I know you thought it’d be easy. I know you thought I would be easy. Spoiler, it won’t be, and I’m not. You thought seducing me, and stealing a sample of my...seed, to sell on the black market would be a breeze. Except we both know you’ve never done anything with a man, let alone one as powerful, and rich, and obsessed as me. I know I should have you arrested. A man with my wealth and my power could ruin you with a snap of the fingers. But I won’t. Maybe it’s because you intrigue me, little one. Maybe it’s because I enjoy a challenge. Or maybe it’s just because you look so f-ing pretty on your knees saying “please, sir”. We’ll just have to find out. Let the games begin. Come and play, little thief. Come and play, so I can play with you. Ludicrously over-the-top, alpha as all get-out, sweet as pie, and 100% as naughty as you're thinking it's going to be. This is one thief who's about to meet her match, and get MUCH more than she bargained for ;). As with all my books, this one is safe, with no cheating, and a HEA guaranteed.
