He watched me for weeks before he ever touched me. And once he did, there was no going back.
Marcus Stone has a reputation for being cold, ruthless, and devastatingly powerful. A billionaire hotel magnate with a stare that strips me bare and a voice that makes my body pulse with need.
I’m just a waitress trying to finish school, living paycheck to paycheck and pretending men like him don’t exist in my world.
But Marcus sees me. Wants me. Decides I’m his.
From the moment he finally claims me, his possessiveness is evident in his hands, his words, the way he says mine like it’s foregone conclusion. He doesn’t hide what he wants or apologize for how intense he is.
He doesn’t ask me to change my life, he just steps into it, daring me to walk away.
I know it’s too fast. I know he’s dangerous in ways I don’t fully understand. I know I should be afraid of a man who wants forever after one taste.
But when Marcus growls that I belong to him, all I can think about is how right it feels… And how badly I want to let him claim me completely.
A short, steamy age-gap romance featuring a possessive billionaire, a curvy heroine, and an unapologetic HEA.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ “I absolutely loved this book. I loved Tom, he was funny, charming. He was shy with Aurora at the beginning but oh man does that change. Aurora is the perfect fit for Tom. The chemistry they have is everything I would imagine for him. I’m so happy to see Tom finally get HEA.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ “Tom can decode me one byte at a time! No more bets because Tom’s story is finally here! And what a story it is!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ “Technically Yours in Vegas was such a fun, spicy, and surprisingly sweet read. I mean—who doesn’t love a hot nerd with a dominant side? Tom, the Clark Kent lookalike, totally stole my heart.”
Decoding love one byte at a time…
Tom
Not all superheroes wore capes. Some were overqualified, underpaid personal assistants at a luxury hotel, like me. At night, I spent lonely hours behind a computer screen creating an innovative security system to fight cyber villains. It would revolutionize the casino industry and, hopefully, make me the next Vegas millionaire. Love wasn’t on my color-coded spreadsheet until Aurora LeFleur moved in across the hall.
The tech-savvy blond was smart, gorgeous, and way out of my league. I was afraid she’d never see me as more than a friend, but one kiss rewired my entire system. My data-loving brain knew she was keeping secrets. The lies were piling up and I began to think I didn’t know her at all. When you double down on love, the house always takes its cut, and my heart might just be the payment.
♥♣♦♠
Aurora
I came to Sin City in search of my best friend who’d disappeared without a trace, not to fall for my nerdy neighbor. It was supposed to be a quick, undercover mission and then back to my complicated, messy life. I’d been dodging the future my father planned for me, but the clock was ticking down and time was running out.
Tom Bently’s brilliant mind and kind heart were impossible to resist. His kisses were electric. His touch, addictive. And he had no idea who I really was. I never wanted to deceive Tom but torn between family loyalty and love, keeping him in the dark was necessary. In a city that never sleeps, secrets don’t stay buried forever. With my poker face starting to crack and the stakes climbing, when the truth hits the table, the final hand might cost us everything… including our hearts.
I’d barely touched her for sixty seconds, yet all the signs were there. “Did you come?”
She bit her lip and nodded, then threw her arm over her face and turned her head to the side. “I’m sorry,” she mumbled into the crook of her arm.
What? “You don’t have to be sorry. You haven’t done anything wrong.” I peeled her arm away, revealing pink cheeks and dilated pupils.
“I have a quick trigger. It’s embarrassing,” she said, not meeting my eyes. “I’m so mortified.”
Mortified? I pried her fingers up one at a time until I could see her big blue eyes. “Don’t ever be embarrassed with me, especially when it comes to sex.”
“But that’s just it, we didn’t even have sex. There’s something wrong with me.”
I chuckled. “There’s not a damn thing wrong with you. There are a lot of women who would gladly switch places with you.”
She rolled her eyes. “That’s because they don’t know it’s a curse. One little explosion and then nothing.”
I raised an eyebrow. “Nothing? Ever?” That couldn’t be true. Surely, some guy had taken their time with her. Had made her pleasure a priority.
Aurora shook her head. “Once I come, that’s it. I’ve heard women talk about multiple orgasms, but I’m convinced it’s a myth. At least for me.”
Getting off the couch, I grabbed her hands and pulled her to her feet. “Challenge accepted. Let’s disprove your hypothesis.”
“What?” she asked, eyes wide and the flush spreading onto her chest.
I brushed a curl of honey-blond hair behind her ear. “I want you to enjoy every minute of the time we’re together, so I’m proposing an alternative hypothesis. I don’t think it’s your body. I think it’s the men you’ve been with. I predict I can make you come several times before I’m ever inside you. It may take lots of experimenting and data analysis, but I’m nothing if not an overachiever.”
“I don’t want to be a science project,” she refuted.
“It’s not a science project. It’s a pleasure project and, trust me, it won’t be a hardship.” I took her hand and led her to her bedroom, pushing the beads aside. “I think we should get started right away.”
“Now?”
“Yes, now. Go sit on the bed.” My instruction left no room for arguing. If Aurora and I were going to be together, I was determined to learn each and every one of her pleasure buttons. Master them.
She scooted into the middle of the bed, looking more innocent and unsure than a few minutes ago. “What do you want me to do?”
“You’re going to count.”

I’ve been called a lot of things in my life—gruff, intense, overprotective—but grumpy? That’s a new one.
After losing my wife, I left the noise of professional hockey and billion-dollar boardrooms behind, trading city chaos for small-town peace in Passion Pointe, Tennessee. I’ve got one mission: raise my son right and keep our world calm, quiet, and free from emotional chaos.

She’s completely wrong for the job… and somehow, exactly what my son needs.
What I didn’t expect? That I’d need her just as much.
One smile from her turns my world upside down. One laugh makes the walls I’ve built start to crack. And the way she looks at me? It’s dangerous.
But she’s got rules, and so do I.
Rule #1: Don’t get attached.
Rule #2: Don’t mix business with pleasure.
Rule #3: Definitely don’t fall for the nanny.
Too late.
Because the more time I spend with Linda, the more I realize this fiery, big-hearted woman isn’t just helping us heal—she might be the piece we didn’t know we were missing.
And if breaking every rule is what it takes to make her ours?

“Stop,” I say. “Don’t touch me.” His steps falter, but he doesn’t look away. He seems shocked and hurt by my words. “Don’t you fucking come near me.”
“I didn’t know.” He points to the door. “I didn’t—”
“Bullshit. Please, don’t lie to me. You’ve done enough of that in the past two weeks.”
“What?” he asks. “I’ve never lied to you. I would never. This is—”
“This is what?” I ask when he stops mid-sentence. “This is you stealing my job, Colin Kincaid!” I feel the venom spouting out of me when I speak his name. Everyone knows the Kincaid family. They’re rich and run one of the biggest renewable energy companies in the world.
“I didn’t steal a damn thing,” he hisses, then he catches himself, lowers his voice and says, “He’s been begging me to work for him for years.”
“Then why didn’t you?” I ask. “Why now?”
“Because I’ve been living in California for over a decade, just like I told you when we met. I wanted to move back to the East Coast. He said I’d be running things and wanted a Kincaid in charge.”
“Oh? I’ve never even heard of you before today. He’s never mentioned an architect nephew, and here you are taking the one thing he had promised me.” I point to myself. “You don’t even need this job.

The One Month Boyfriend: An Enemies-to-Lovers Romance (Wildwood Society Romance Book 1)
About:
Fake dating my sworn enemy to make my ex so jealous he can’t see straight? Worth it.
Silas and I agree on one thing, and one thing only: my ruthless, heartless, narcissistic jerk of an ex-fiancé needs to be taken down a notch.
So we do what anyone would do: we pretend to be a couple.
Even though Silas and I are polar opposites. Silas is a loud, cheerful, over the top showboat. He’s his hometown’s golden boy, the Marine who came back to rescue kittens from trees and walk old ladies across the street.
And me? I’m the awkward new girl who freezes up around strangers and can’t make small talk to save my life.
It shouldn’t work. We can barely have a conversation without arguing. There’s no way we should be friends, let alone dating, except… Everyone believes it.
Especially my ex.
Now I’m having way too many real fantasies about the man who gets on my last nerve. My fake boyfriend is starting to feel a whole lot like a real one.
The kisses feel real. The way he protects me feels real. The night we spend together in a hotel bed feels very real.
This was supposed to be fake, but I think I might have fooled myself most of all.
