However, it is my first book/series, it is unedited, and I don't consider my earlier work to be an accurate reflection of my most recent work. Lizzie Winter is just three short months away from graduation when the unthinkable happens. A prank gone wrong by the football team takes a devastating turn and changes her life forever. Just when things can't get any worse, Matt Star decides to up the ante and throw blackmail and manipulation into the mix. To complicate matters, Lizzie starts developing feelings for Matt's best friend, Brandon Rivers. Brandon suspects something's off with Lizzie and Matt's relationship, but Lizzie is sworn to secrecy. The only way she can protect Brandon, and everyone else she cares about is to continue lying. Will Brandon be able to figure out what Matt is doing to Lizzie, and save her before its too late? Or will Lizzie be forced to do everything she can in order to save Brandon from Matt's sick, psychopathic ways? *Trigger Warning* This book is not suitable for readers under 18. This book contains elements of emotional, sexual, and physical cruelty. Any readers with sensitivity to the above topics should proceed with caution, and at their own risk.

The Club
Suzanne Steele - 2015
This is NOT a love story. It is however a dark erotic tale of a man who is severely damaged. A man who becomes very dangerous when it comes to his captive bride. There will be bloodshed and lives lost before Antonio Wayne ever lets Roxanne go.This is a very DARK read with triggers. It deals with human trafficking and all the ugly that goes with it. If you're sensitive to triggers I do NOT recommend reading this.Antonio Wayne: I pulled on my brother’s arm; screaming, as he forced me to board the plane to America. “I’ll be good, I swear I will.” “It isn’t about you being good; it’s about you staying alive, Hermano. You are all I have. I can’t afford to lose you to the drug cartel. I’ll send for you.” My heart broke the day my brother put me on that plane, but that was the day that I became a man. I vowed that day to never love again and it has served me well. I am now one of the most deadly and high ranking mobsters in New York City. Roxanne: I traveled the world as a cage fighter. Hey, no girl wants her face messed up, so my friend and I came up with an idea; only fight each other and throw the fights so that the ‘upsets’ would cause us to make more money. We were doing fine until we stole from the Ramirez brothers. My best friend is now the property of Ricardo Ramirez (Their story is in the book Rubia) who resides in Guatemala City and I am now the property of Antonio Wayne Ramirez, one of the most deadly and feared men in New York City. My husband is obsessed with me and will stop at nothing to keep me in his possession. Antonio: I vowed from childhood to never love again after growing up in the back streets and the jungles of Colombia. My brother put me on a plane to the US and I clawed my way up through the gutters to become the man I am today. My heart broke the day my brother put me on that plane, but that was the day that I became a man. I vowed that day to never love again and it has served me well. I am now one of the most deadly and high ranking mobsters in New York City. The day she stole from my brother is the day that she became my property. My captive very quickly becomes my obsession and I will stop at nothing to keep her. I am brutal, I am ruthless, I am vicious, I am cruel, I am savage, and I am a man who will stop at nothing to not only gain, but maintain control. If pleasure works then so be it. If stronger measures of pain need to be taken, then so be it.

Bound to the Alpha
Riley Trent - 2015
When his sister ropes him into being a chaperon for her daughter's graduation party, however, he runs into an omega whose scent has him burning with need. The omega is his, and nothing will stop Derek from claiming him. Scott never wanted an alpha, and he certainly never wanted a traditional one like Derek. The older alpha is uncompromising and strict, pushing Scott to be the kind of doormat of an omega he's always pitied. It's intolerable and degrading, and Scott isn't going to give in without a fight... (This 60,000 word book contains some dark themes before the happy ending, including dubious consent, bondage and attempted brainwashing. Do not proceed if this bothers you.) This book was previously published under the pen name of Riley Trent. *** “Man, I’m so sorry. I didn't realize that this room was-” “Shut up,” Derek growled, taking a step closer. He barely recognized himself, skin feeling too tight, that scent filling his nose making him want… making him need. The boy took a step back, a sour note of fear wafting off his skin. Derek reacted - he had no other word for it - charging the boy and slamming him back into the door, closing them inside the room. This time he turned the lock, preventing any interloper from coming in and interrupting him while he claimed what was his. “Dude! Just calm down, OK. I’m sorry I interrupted your- Argh!” Derek clamped his hand down over the boy’s lips, palm gnashing into his teeth, pinning him to the door as he pushed his face into the boy’s neck. He buried his nose in the skin under the boy’s ear, opening his mouth wide, teeth elongating and getting ready to stake his claim. To seal the boy to him, to make it so that no one could ever take him away. “Man! You don’t want this, OK! Just, take a step back. Please!” the boy was begging - hands pushing uselessly at Derek’s chest - working himself into a panic. Derek ignored him. Pretty soon the boy would be bitten and claimed, and any objections he had would be drowned out by the need to please his new alpha...
