White Trash


Tiana Laveen - 2017
    This book is also adult in nature and for mature audiences, only. (profuse profanity, explicit sexual encounters and violence.) *PLEASE NOTE: This is a complete story that is divided into two parts due to the size of the work. This solution is referred to as a double novel. Part 1 and Part 2 are being released on the exact same day, at the exact same time. Part 1 is entitled, “White Trash.” Part 2 is entitled, “Black Class.” Therefore, there is technically no lingering cliffhanger since both books will be available for purchase simultaneously, thus avoiding any wait time whatsoever for readers. Dean North has spent his entire life in Macon, Mississippi. Rebellious and temperamental, he has turned his life around after a violent, disturbed youth. Trapped in a small town, he lives unfulfilled, plagued by his inner demons. Until, one night, things get worse before they get better… Marilyn Majors is a Maxim, New York native. Successful, persistent, and results-driven, she specializes in picking up sinking ship companies and turning them into nautical gold stars. She’s sacrificed her life and heart to the gods of ambition. But when she meets a hardworking man with the charisma, enthusiasm, and acumen to take him places, she’s intrigued in a way she simply can’t shake loose, although she tries — for society would deem the crude, lowly Dean way outside of her league… Sparks fly, resistance is futile, and in the end, the two forge a tight bond. But are they strong enough together to withstand the storm? Will they eventually make a way out of no way? Through heartbreak, betrayal, friendship, mammoth challenges, and unstoppable passion, time will tell if this is a love worth keeping.

Appropriate for mature readers 18+Note to Reader: If you prefer a spicier version of this book, look for Mr. Bentini’s Lady: An Erotic Romance. It’s the same great story with added erotic sizzle.Prologue I enter the building and decide to take the stairs to the third floor instead of the elevator. As I get to the second level, a voice bounces off the walls and stops me dead in my tracks. “You must want Mr. Matthews to get hurt.” I gasp in shock as I look up to see Antonio walking down the stairs towards me. My first thought is, ‘Shit did he see me with Derrick…and if he did, how much did he actually see?!’ My second thought is, ‘He’s so intimidating when he stabs me with those cold pewter eyes. Now is definitely not the time to talk about money!’ Then bizarrely I think, ‘My Gawd! No man should be that damn fine!’ To see such powerful thighs encased in a pair of very long denim blue jeans. And his chest! His chest and arms are so muscular, he must never miss a workout. There is nothing NOT sexy about Antonio Bentini. He is definitely a triple threat. “Imagine my surprise… I get back in town, rush here to see my lady… And find her in the arms of another man.” Antonio’s voice is low and dangerous. I want to say something. I open my mouth to say something. My lips move, but no words come out. “You didn’t answer my question, Ti. Do you want Derrick Matthews to get hurt?” How in the world would he hurt him? He can‘t be saying that he’ll have a physical confrontation with Derrick? –Is he? “No…No, of course not.” I start stepping back. Antonio matches me step for step until he backs me up against the wall. “Whatever is going on between you and Derrick Matthews stops today. This minute. Do you understand what I’m saying, Tiressa?” He grates out in an infuriated voice. He seems more threatening because he isn’t yelling. The more upset he is, the lower his voice—as if it takes him a great deal of control not to lose control. Although we are not touching, I can feel the heat and energy radiating from his body into mine. I guess I didn’t answer fast enough because Antonio grabs me by the arms and gives me a little shake. I quickly stammer a reply. “Yes. I understand you.
