     WARNING: If Eyes Wide Shut and The Da Vinci Code had a one night stand in a dark alley while it was raining, then this novel would be there baby. The main setting of this story is a masquerade ball where sex lathers every inch of the castle, and all masked guests are welcome to explore any desire. BLURB: Roman, the Sex Tycoon of Europe, requested that Emily interview him. He's invited her to his exclusive masquerade ball in London. She'll be the only reporter there, partying among the most powerful people in the world. But there's something bigger going on at this party where masks hide the wicked, and sex happens in and out of the shadows. There are lives at stake, and Roman is certain that Emily can help. All he has to do is keep his hands off of her long enough to take down an evil man called the Devil. But it's hard to focus with a woman like Emily and the more he's around her, he's thinking less about the plans and wondering more about the many ways he can make her moan. EXCERPT: Roman had the kind of face that stroked the wicked parts of the body—ripe lips, tanned skin, midnight hair and a smooth grin. Strong and defined, his cheekbones made me want to nibble them. His jaw was a work of art in a deep, catastrophic way, because although it was beautiful I wanted to do so many naughty things to it. Things that one didn’t do with a human jaw. I wanted to rub my sex all over its angular length until I came. I wanted to use my nipples to trace circles all over it. I wanted to fuck him hard. I wanted to bite. I wanted to gnaw. I wanted to grip his bed sheets and moan as he moved on top of me.

    His large, calloused yet soft hand enveloped mine and I intertwined my fingers with his. I never quite got over how our hands looked when we held hands; it was like the Yin and Yang circle, although our hands are not perfectly black and white but there is a contrast.

    She had just completed her third interview, and was told to wait in the lobby while the three person panel deliberated. Renee was positively hopeful. It was her 3rd call back after all. She looks around the sitting area, and notices one young man with spiked hair wearing a thin black tie with a black and white checkered shirt, and another woman with black rimmed glasses, blonde bangs, and tresses, and a burgundy sweater. "I guess this is the competition." Renee whispers to herself under her breath. She glances down at her own apparel. Renee is dressed in black washed out slacks, a black blouse with ruffles down the center, and her thick curly hair worn up in a top-knot bun. Of course she is wearing her trusty black ballet flats - that Renee almost never leaves home without. Eventually the conference room door opens, and one by one each candidate is called back into the large room with an oval glass table, surrounded by silver high-back chairs. When Renee is summoned, she immediately springs up and speeds walk toward the room. Whether good or bad news, Renee is anxious to learn the final outcome.

    He has no manners and doesn’t think twice about the weight of his words. Why him? He must have slipped something in my chai tea. Nigel When I woke up this morning, I didn’t plan to meet the woman I wasn’t strong enough to walk away from. But she’s here. In this coffee shop. And she answers my questions with more questions. It should be irritating as hell, not sexy. Or maybe somebody slipped something in my coffee.

     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…

    I knew what it meant, and was ready for what I’d be expected to do. But nothing could have prepared me for him. He is as powerful as the stallions locked in his stables. His heart is as distant as a falcon flying over the horizon, searching for prey. He lives in a palace and wears royal robes, but make no mistake. This man is not a desert prince, but a beast. That’s fine. I am not the innocent beauty I appear to be. I am a hunter. He owns the sand I walk on and the water I drink, but he will never own me. He may claim my body, but I will tame his heart.

    After three long, painful years of healing, he's finally back. I loved Lucio De Campo with all of my heart, but his secret lifestyle destroyed any possible chance of us reconciling.

Not only did I discover who he truly was, but the gruesome lifestyle that he led had put me in danger. When he left, I was broken beyond repair and was just now finding myself again. I couldn't let him back in. No matter how bad my heart was yearning for him. Lucio: I'm free! After years of living my life under my father's rule, I am finally free. It took losing the love of my life and freedom for the past three years, but I have finally found my way. I'm a new man, determined to right my wrongs for the woman that I love. Who I am will never change, but I will never allow anyone to hurt her ever again. She's mine. Always has been and always will be. Fiancé or not; we will be together again. Frankie: Outcast. Disappointment. Failure. Those are the words that I have been branded with since the day Lucio walked into my father's restaurant. I went from being next in line to some low level thug within my father's operation. For three years, I plotted against the family that forced away my father's love. They took everything from me, and I was determined to do same. One night destroyed the lives' of three people and entangled them for years to come. Love, pain, and revenge started it all, but will it also end it?
