The Sisters of Parrish
Hazel Taylor - 2020
Through thick and thin they were by each other's side, and if asked, 'Who is your best friend?' Fiona, Gisele, and Annie would answer without hesitation, 'I have two best friends. My sisters.' Along with their half-Irish, half-Cuban father, Riel, and their used-to-be beauty queen mother, Diana, the five of them made up a tight-knit family that nobody thought could be unraveled. When the sisters grew apart in college, however, each of them embarked on very different paths. On the eve of their fortieth birthday, the Flannery sisters receive a call from their mother—Their father is sick. The triplets rush to their hometown to help out in any way they can.

To make matters worse, despite their valiant efforts, it seems the trials of their personal lives stowed away in their bags and followed each of them all the way down to South Florida.Navigating the rocky waters of a budding romance, work catastrophes, and a bitter betrayal, these triplets soon learn that no matter how hard they try, there is simply no way to keep the personal apart from the familial. The only question is, when sisterly connection is what they need the most, will the Flannery sisters be able to rebuild the bridges that were once between them?The ones they let burn so many years ago…

Secret Baby Daddy (Part One)
Paige North - 2018
He’s everywhere. On the billboards that grace the freeway, on my television screen, and most of all, in every fantasy I’ve ever had since I was a teenager, the fantasy that became true that one summer night. The summer night where out of nowhere, he slid his hand to the back of my head and brought me in for the most head-spinning kiss in existence. It was heavenly, dizzy, wonderful, everything I’d been hoping for. We couldn’t get enough of each other, and in the following days and nights, he surprised me again by taking things slowly, whether it was unbuttoning my shirt, bringing me against him so I could see how hard I made him, or slipping his fingers into my panties and feeling how wet I was for him right before working me to my very first climax. But then everything changed when I got unexpectedly pregnant… I told myself I kept the baby a secret because I couldn’t keep Colt from his career. But the truth is that deep down, I was afraid he wouldn’t want us. At least, not for the right reasons. But now Colt is back, fresh off a tabloid scandal that’s left his career reeling, his gray-blue eyes reflecting the bruises I left inside of him when everything went wrong between us. His brown hair is still wild, his skin still tanned, and those full, beautiful lips I used to kiss in secret still set in that determined line. Soon we’ve picked up right where we’ve left off. Kissing, touching, his hands all over my body, doing things to me no other man ever could. But how do you tell the only man you’ve ever loved you’ve kept a secret from him for years? A secret could change his life forever and send everything he’s worked for crashing into oblivion?
