Fireman's Fake Fiancée
Flora Ferrari - 2017
He’s tall, dark, and as handsome as he is rich. With his rugged good looks and masculine presence, surely no one's going to catch on to us. There's no way you'd suspect our engagement is fake. And I'm starting not to suspect it either. The way he whispers in my ear when no one's looking. The way he puts his hand on the small of my back. The way his kisses go on just a little longer than we need in order to put on our little show. Is it just for show? He's enjoying this; this tormenting me. But I can dish it out just as well as I can take it. I can play hot and cold, making him wonder what's real and what's not... and just what he really wants out of this so-called relationship of ours. But when the sun goes down, my blood pressure rises. We're alone in our shared bedroom, keeping up the charade. But the way he looks at me with those bedroom eyes of his, I know this is more than a game. Can I risk losing everything if it means winning the man whose passion for me is suddenly feeling more and more real? Fireman's Fake Fiancée is an insta-everything standalone romance with an HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.
Love Online
Penelope Ward - 2018
It started out innocently enough. I was “ScreenGod” and she was “Montana,” but of course, those weren’t our actual names, just the virtual cloaks we hid behind.Logging in at night and talking to her was my escape—my sanctuary. Her real name was Eden, I’d soon come to find out.From the first time we connected online, I found myself transfixed. She was an addiction. At first, we knew nothing about each other’s real identities…and she was adamant that we keep things that way. Anonymity had no effect on our unstoppable chemistry, though. If anything, it allowed us to open up even more in ways we may not have otherwise. Eden was funny, intelligent, gorgeous—everything I’d ever wanted in a woman. But I couldn’t really have her.I had accepted things would have to stay the way they were—until the day I found a clue that led me straight to her.So I took a chance.And that was when our love story really began.

Two Much for You

Ever since then, I've been obnoxiously aware of every little noise I hear coming from next door. Every sound is a chance that they might be outside working on one of their cars in their driveway or mowing the lawn shirtless. Yummy. Looking is all I can do though.

And then there's me, average at best. Never in a million years did I think they would show up on my front doorstep. And what they want is far from conventional. This is a standalone ménage short story that was previously published in the Red Hot Sizzle box set.
