A Tryst At Midnight (The Alesi Men)
Serenity King - 2012
The title, some content, and publisher have changed. Piero Alesi is back in the states after being away in Italy for two years. At a family get-together he’s decided that Adanna Washington will be his. Piero is known for getting what he wants both in business and his personal life. He's never envisioned himself in competition with his own cousin, Nicco for Adanna’s attention. Nicco believes he has the upper hand—Adanna’s his sister’s best friend, and he’s been in contact with Adanna far longer than Piero. However, Piero is willing to chance that the love he has for Adanna will far outweigh Nicco’s lust. He only has to convince her. Adanna Washington writes about love but doesn’t have the time for romance in her life. She is far too busy. Adanna is late on a deadline with her editor — attending her best friend, Carina’s Alesi’s family outing is the last place she should be. Imagine her surprise when at the outing she attracts the attention of not only Carina’s brother, Nicco, but also of Carina’s elusive cousin, Piero. Not wanting to be a pawn in this game the Alesi men seem to want to play—she rebuffs them both, or so she thought.
It's Complicated
Bella Fontaine - 2019
What would you do if your boss offered you a million dollars to pretend to be his fiancée? I had a sick father who needed treatment. A mountain of bills to pay, and… come on it’s a million dollars, not ten bucks! Sure, Patterson Flynn is without a doubt a billionaire playboy who had a taste for easy women and fast cars. And sure, as his PA, I should know better than to agree to something so absurd. I’ve been witness to his craziness for the last five years. Five years of that man could drive anybody insane and realistically if you play with fire you will get burned. The money is tempting, oh so tempting, but there’s something else too… I’m curious… My eyes haven’t been closed for the last five years. I noticed him. Him, with his dreamy eyes I could get lost in. Him, with those good looks reserved for Hollywood, and that body that makes me think of hot, sinful things that would make my priest blush. I’m curious to see what it would be like to be on his arm. I’m curious to see how this little arrangement will play out. I’m curious to know if the scorching hot kiss he gave me when we weren’t pretending was real. We’re getting close, and so far over the line we crossed we can’t even see it anymore. I try to keep telling myself it’s not real. I just wished I believed it…

You took that broken, battered, and unwanted heart with you, as though it belonged to you.The problem with me is… both of you. I can’t think, breathe, or see past either of you. You flood my mind in a way that no one can. You need to let me go. You hurt me. Why can’t either of you let go of me? You may not say it with your mouths, but your souls call out to me. There’s a part of you that cries for me just as much as I cry for you.Should we do this again? Can we? One minute, I think of you and love you. The other, I want you to suffer as I did. The worst part is, you’re not even aware of my pain. You ruined me for anyone else, and for that…you’ll pay for watering and providing this flower with sunlight. You only did it for the flower to grow so you could trample on it. You can never get rid of me. I am you, Tennesse Church, and you both are me, Tucker-Jamison Vasiliév.But, I want you to remember my words… I’ll always love you both; equally, painfully, and in every waking moment. Even in reincarnation, you are my dark knights.Signed,Tini Chastain
