Introduction
Pierce stood up, wrapped a hand around Arianna’s neck, and pulled her up. His tongue found hers, and the next thing they knew, her legs were wrapped around his waist, and he was jogging upstairs for round two.
Welcome to Elite San Antonio, the most premier country club in the world, which caters to the wealthiest clients and their every whim. Arianna Carter (18) completed high school and is now working as a receptionist at the exclusive country club due to her parents’ unfortunate gambling issues. They gambled away her college tuition, forcing her to take a gap year or two to save for college. Arianna is fed up with all the married men hitting on her and propositioning her for an entanglement. She even heard there was a running bet to see who could get her in bed first! Arianna considered swearing off men until she gives a tour to handsome and recently divorced Pierce White. The 32-year age gap should’ve turned her off. Still, Arianna figured with age came experience, and Pierce White might be worthy enough to give her virginity to. Arianna isn't the only one feeling the instant attraction. Once Pierce lays eyes on the young receptionist behind the front desk, his first thought is to bend her over it and have his way with her.
Sparks instantly fly between the two, resulting in a steamy, scandalous age-gap romance that rocks the country club. Will Arianna and Pierce make it in the long run, or will his hang-ups about their age gap, future, and his conniving ex-wife end their relationship?
Chapter 1
“Good morning, gentlemen. Is this your first time here?” the doorman at Elite San Antonio inquired. His grandfather owns Elite SA. He is just working his way from the bottom up.
Elite San Antonio was a state-of-the-art country club new to the city, and everyone fortunate enough to be a member had deep pockets, power, and an ego the size of the state of Texas.
“Yes, it is. Thanks for noticing. We’re scheduled for a tour at 11:30,” Patrick replied, peering at his friend Pierce who was dragging her by him after a terrible divorce.
“Ah, yes. Miss Carter just finished a tour not too long ago, and the prospective member is now in the process of establishing membership as we speak. Hopefully, we can say the same for the two of you. Just a warning, please be kind to Miss Carter. She may be Mrs. Vanderbilt in the future,”
“What have I told you about telling people that,” a voice scolded from behind Jesse.
“Sweetheart, it’s you that’s in denial. I need you to get with the program,” Jesse teased.
“And I need you to return to your post at the door.”
Pierce didn’t pay any mind to their banter but instead focused his attention on the stunning young woman who stood before him. He couldn’t keep his eyes off of her warm, blemish-free skin that appeared smooth to the touch. Her hair was in long braids that were pulled back, allowing a full view of her innocent face and youthful features. She was very petite, and if Pierce had to guess, she was just under five feet tall.
Pierce briefly imagined how weightless she would feel in his arms with her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms around his neck. He would like to say his lewd thoughts died down once she finally made eye contact with him, but they only grew worse. She had expressive cocoa eyes that were surrounded by long black lashes.
She was innocent indeed, and something inside of him wanted to take that innocence for himself. Her plump lips which were painted a velvety red were calling out to him, and he could only pray for an opportunity to taste them. She wore a form-fitting white polo with the Elite SA emblem on the front. The shirt molded beautifully to her small but perky breasts. Her black slacks fit her nicely, and while her ass was small, it rounded out perfectly and was still something to hold onto.
“Get it together...you’re embarrassing me,” Patrick warned from beside Pierce in a low whisper.
“What are you talking about?”
“You are practically drooling over this little girl like she’s a piece of meat, and it’s obvious to everyone, including her. Plus, you don’t have a shot. She looks like she’s barely legal. By the time she was born, you had a mortgage and were cutting back on red meat and junk food.”
Pierce could feel himself awkwardly blush as the young woman smiled at him. He hadn’t felt this way since high school, and it was overwhelming.
“Good morning, Mr. White and Mr. Jameson. My name is Arianna Carter, and I’ll be your tour guide this morning,” she greeted, offering a hand to both men. Pierce was quick to snatch her hand up between the two of his. He pumped it slowly while he stared into her eyes, and an eyebrow quirked in amusement when he noticed how she bit her bottom lip.
“It is very nice to meet you, Miss Carter,” Pierce drawled in his heavy Texas twang.
“Please, Mr. White...call me Ari. All my good friends do.”
Jesse loudly cleared his throat, interrupting the tender moment shared between Arianna and Pierce. “I’m sorry, sir, but if you hold onto her hand any longer, then I'll have to start charging you,” Jesse teased. Arianna kissed her teeth and quickly dropped Pierce’s hand.
“You have some nerve. I’m your future wife one minute, and the next, I’m a prostitute,” Arianna huffed in annoyance.
“Don’t be like that, Ari. You know I’m just joking, but seriously, hands off the merchandise,” Jesse lowly warned Pierce.
“I got it, I got it. Look, but don’t touch. Ow!”
Pierce found himself rubbing the back of his head from the slap he had just received from Patrick.
“Seriously, Pierce?! You wait well until we get somewhere to start misbehaving. We won’t even be offered membership at the rate you’re going!”
“Jesus...looks like you have your hands full with these two, Ari. I need to get back to the door. I’ll see you tonight,” Jesse declared, giving Arianna a quick peck on the cheek. Arianna rolled her eyes because she knew Jesse was showing out like he always did. He knew they would be nothing more than friends, but he couldn’t help but keep at it, hoping that he’d eventually wear her down.
“I apologize for the unprofessionalism. I promise you we’re usually not like this in front of guests,” Arianna apologized.
“It’s not a problem at all,” Patrick quickly rushed out. “It should be us apologizing. Please forgive my friend. He doesn’t get out of the house much.”
Pierce rolled his eyes at Patrick’s theatrics. He behaved as if Pierce bent the girl over her desk and fucked her until she cried out her safe word.
“No worries,” Arianna beamed, clapping her hands together. “Let’s get started, shall we?”
“Absolutely. Lead the way,” Pierce agreed, knowing he would spend 80% of the tour starting at her backside.

Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?

At night, in her dreams, he would patiently wait for her—the man who brought sunshine into her darkest moments.
They would dance the night away, but as dawn approached, he would vanish into the morning sun.
Lilly had given up hope of finding a mate, having a family, and leading a normal life.
But things are about to drastically change for her...
Secrets, lies, betrayal... and a baby on the way.
What if Lilly wasn't wolf-less? What if it was all a lie?
What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?

Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
