Feeling saddened and desperate, she quickly becomes involved in the fast life in order to get the quick money it brings. When Kasslyn sees a way out in the timid, green, and seemingly innocent Jamal, she immediately jumps on the opportunity, no matter how crazy or... odd.

Upon meeting the pretty yet gentile Kasslyn, he soon realizes that he may have found exactly what he wants, no matter how much he'd like to deny it. However, both he and Kasslyn have major blockages in the way that are keeping them from getting closer, with the main culprits being the two lovers themselves. Will Kaseem shed his cold demeanor and philandering behavior to keep Kasslyn? And if so, will her secrets and attachments be insignificant enough for skeptical Kaseem to overlook?

Taken by You: The Complete Series
M.L. Young - 2015
I never thought I’d end up dating a billionaire. Penelope Wells is about to start her last semester in college and dreams of working at a large tech company in San Francisco. When her best friend and roommate, Nicolette, scores her an internship interview at RandomMeetX, a multibillion-dollar singles app, she couldn’t be more thrilled. But when she goes in for her interview, her life changes forever. Blake Hunter is the CEO of RandomMeetX and a misogynistic billionaire who craves control and power. When he sees Penelope in his building, he’s strangely mystified, even though she isn’t the plastic type he usually goes for. After all, she’s a plain Jane and his usual type is pumped full of silicone. He proposes something to Penelope that she knows will change the course of her future. All her needs will be taken care of—if she takes care of all of his. With her bank account running low, she agrees, but quickly finds out Blake’s needs involve handcuffs, blindfolds, and lots of handprints on her ass. Seduced by You: Blake Hunter has never been able to take no for an answer. When Penny doesn’t return his text messages or calls, he can’t help but feel an undying, nagging urge inside of him to talk to Penny, who at this point doesn’t feel ready to say a word to him. When she goes out on a date with a new man, though, and runs into Blake on a date of his own, she can’t help but feel backed into a corner—literally. After talking to Blake and thinking it over, she decides to do something to him that she never thought was possible. She’s going to give him a piece of his own medicine and use him just like he used her. It’s only when she starts to redevelop her old feelings for him that she knows she’s in way too deep, and she knows that her lies may hurt things all over again.
