Tempting Distractions
B.C. Morgan - 2021
Now, at twenty-five, I answer to no one; everything I own is mine and no one can take it from me.I’m not one of those sob-story people who shake their ass on a pole to get by, I do it because I’m great at it—because I love it. I thrive on the money and sense of power I get every time I take the stage, taking my clothes off is a small price to pay for what I get in return. Love and fun are two words that haven’t been part of my vocabulary, at least not until there’s some serious changes made to the club I work at. With light comes the dark, and there are heavy shadows I have never noticed before—shadows that are cast by the man who won’t leave me alone, the man who wants me all to himself. This isn’t only about me though, there’s also the man who keeps me safe, the guy who makes me laugh, and the other one一who takes some of the control I’ve never given away before. Tempting Distractions is book one in the Dancing with Desire series—a dark romance, and it will end on a cliffhanger. Please beware of triggers such as: violence, foul language, explicit sexual content, and stalker/obsessive themes.

She saved my life. A life I never asked for, but a life I live. She was the prettiest thing I have ever seen. Even as hurt as I was I couldn’t stop myself from wanting her with everything I had.

His existence has become a study in control, and he’s become a master at it—until Kara Valari walks into his toughest course. Viscerally, Kara’s everything he craves. Logically, she’s everything he rejects. She’s a starlet of privilege. She’s also a student. And after one touch, he can’t deny that she’s awakened something in him that may never go dormant. Nothing about her makes sense, but everything about her feels right.

Hyde
Lauren Stewart - 2012
It includes lots of cursing, descriptive sex, biting sarcasm, and dark themes. HYDE was inspired by Stevenson's novella but is not a retelling, in part because he and this author have very different definitions of 'bad boy'.Honesty is impossible when you don't know the truth to begin with.Mitchell Turner is everything women want most in a man--he's charismatic, successful, and undeniably gorgeous. But he's not a man--he's a monster. By venting his rage 24/7, Mitch keeps people out of the danger zone that surrounds him. But, after the most incredible night of his life, he realizes that might not be possible. Except the woman he wakes up with claims she doesn't remember any of it. And that kind of thing can make a guy insecure.Eden Colfax is kind, loyal, honest to a fault, and cavity-inducing sweet. To rid herself of the monsters that haunted her broken childhood, Eden doesn't lie, doesn't curse, and definitely never wakes up naked in strangers' beds...until the day she does. Then the flashbacks start--places she's never been, people she's never met, blood she's never spilled. And the only person with any answers is a man she never wants to see again.What they don't know is that someone is manipulating them, determined to find out exactly what they're capable of. And when the truth leaves them nothing to hold onto, they will be forced into a partnership neither expected. Or wanted.But in life, who you trust is as important as who you are. And when you can't even trust yourself, sometimes the only person you can rely on is the last person on earth you should be falling for.
