Just breathe, Auger cautioned himself as his core twitched and trembled. He could easily imagine lunging across the room, snatching Callie back and rushing them both out of there. Eye on the prize. He’s trying to mess with you.
Eye on the prize.
Twenty thousand dollars.
Does she have to sit so fucking close to him??
“That is a very interesting name,” Winsor said slowly to Callie as she settled in. “I don’t think I have ever heard it before.”
“Me either,” Auger piped up. “My father is… was a craftsman. He always preferred hand tools and said he thought ‘Auger’ had a strong sound to it.”
Winsor nodded, then shifted his gaze to Auger, watching him stand in the middle of the room awkwardly. “I’d have to agree. It does have a strong sound to it.”
Winsor nodded and stared Auger down calmly. Auger shifted his weight to his other hip and cleared his throat.
“So—”
“So!” Winsor interrupted, ignoring what he wanted to say and turning fully toward Callie again. She looked around, avoiding his gaze, then her eyelids fluttered up and she looked at him directly. Auger saw her tongue, shiny and pink, slip from her mouth and drag her lower lip back between her teeth. He was sure Winsor saw it too.
Oh shit.
“Where does your name come from? Callendra?”
Oh no, Auger thought. I’ve seen that look before. We have to go.
Callie shot him another glance, a half desperate I-told-you-so. He wracked his brain, trying to figure out what she was trying to say.
“You know what,” Auger interrupted loudly, “we actually have to get a few things done today, so if we could just—”
Just get her out of here. This was a terrible idea. I’ll figure something else out.
“Callie?” Winsor asked again, ignoring the fighter completely.
She gave him her fake-church smile and paused like she was thinking. “It’s, uh… A family name? I don’t kn-know?” she stammered, the flush setting her cheeks all fiery.
As she spoke, his hand reached out and hovered for a moment over the crook of her knee. Auger watched her knuckles go white around her coffee mug.
I have got to get her out of here, now!
“Yeah, we’re all about the family traditions out west!” Auger shouted into the empty air.
Suddenly she was on her feet and lunging across the room. Auger didn’t know if he was supposed to catch her or duck as she came toward him. His arms went out automatically, ready for anything.
Then her hands were behind his neck, clawing desperately, dragging him down. The last thing he heard was her voice, hoarse and desperate: “Just kiss me!” before he was kissing her, biting and sucking at her soft, pink lips. Instantly hard and hungry.
And it was so easy, like he had never stopped.

Her Dark Desires, series
Her whole life, Camille has been haunted by urges and desires that she can’t explain, but she knows they are wrong. By applying herself rigorously to her studies and drowning herself in work, she’s been successful in her efforts to distract herself from her deepest needs.
But while Camille may have thought she was cleverly suppressing her feelings, William witnessed all of it. Son of a billionaire legacy and bred to a life of excess and pleasure, he doesn't have the same willingness to resist temptation. In fact, William embraces every desire... no matter how dark.
And now it’s time, he thinks, to see just how far Camille is really willing to go. All she needs is a little push...
Her Father’s Friend
Lauren has been hiding her feelings for Mike ever since her dad invited him to live with them. Mike is just the kind of man she wants - mature, handsome, strong…

Their secret fantasies of a fairy tale home life come to a head when Lauren’s friend Nikki throws herself at Mike. All of a sudden Lauren realizes - she has to act.

Will he be willing to give her what she really wants - make her a woman and give her a baby?

Kimberly knows that innocent, goody-goody Mandy wants more from the hunky older man next door than just some household chores here and there. But Mandy is so caught up in keeping her toes on the line, how will she ever get the courage to even ask?
Vince has been the silent watchdog at the end of their dead-end street for years, protecting Mandy and her mother and never asking for even a word of thanks. But suddenly he can’t help but be aware of the beauty on the other side of the fence. Yet, an afternoon of eavesdropping leads to a shocking revelation - could Mandy possibly respond to him?
On a darkened street on the wrong side of town, it’s Vince’s urgent call to action that really exposes the kind of man he is, and just how far he is willing to go to save the woman he’s thought of as his to protect. And with her guardian angel just inches away, Mandy will have to speak up and ask for the life she really wants!

But Timothy Granate, the billionaire owner of the house, is already there. He has some words of wisdom for her, and some hard-won advice.
But it’s his life-changing offer that really has her perplexed. Does he really mean it? Does he really want her… to have his baby? The idea is overwhelming, especially since she’s never had a man, let alone one as powerful and intimidating as Timothy.
Is she finally ready to take the plunge?
