She hadn’t seen Max for a few days, no phone calls, no emails, no speaking. It was what she wanted, she told herself throughout the lonely days, but she knew she was lying to herself. She had a feeling it would take her a very long time to get over him. She had to see him that afternoon to give h...
She was grateful each time she turned the key and the engine decided to turn over and work for another day. She climbed the broken staircase, careful to not lean against the rusted out railing. She’d made that mistake once and had almost fallen through. The only thing that saved her had been he...
She’d always had a hard time making friends because she was so busy all the time and she was painfully shy. She was also always the practical one. When other kids had been out partying, she had been the one studying. It had all been worth it, though because she now owned her shop and was on her w...
Mark took a shot at his brother, while punching his arm. “Heck we didn’t see Lucas for at least six months,” he continued. “You’re lucky you’re seeing me now. Amy’s about to have the baby,” Lucas said, while looking down at his phone for the hundredth time. “Trust me; your ringer is working just ...
I want to wow my husband and I have spared no expense,” Jasmine said, with a giggle. Nicole’s eyes widened at the amount of money this family seemed to have. She couldn’t imagine ever being comfortable having someone hired to come in and do her hair and make-up. That was for movie stars and mode...
She considered taking the stairs, just to delay the inevitable but she didn’t think she’d be able to breathe by the time she hit the twenty-fifth floor. At least it was Friday. She could make it through one more day. The last couple had been filled with unbelievable sexual tension, for her at lea...
He had to get her alone. He felt like if he didn’t get her into his bed again, he’d explode. He didn’t need her. He’d proven that. He could easily insert himself into the lives of the Anderson’s without suspicion. Heck, there was a fundraiser event coming up shortly he’d b...
The enemy was determined to leave no survivors. Shane Grayson was just as determined to disappoint them. “Stay down!” he shouted at his men. The radicals were firing from the side, not very organized in their strategy but sti...
“Now, Tanner…” “I’m busy now, Father. Why’d you call?” “It’s the week after Christmas,” Richard told him. “And the whole family missed you at the family dinner your uncle Joseph was kind enough to include all of us in.” Tanne...
She inhaled, wondering where she’d smelled that before. Then her eyes flew open and she twisted her head to look around, her body stiffening until she realized she was alone. The night before came flooding back to her, and her faced flushed when she realized ...
She kept looking back but the eerie feeling wouldn’t go away. Trevor was at school and Mark was working somewhere on the ranch so she’d wanted to get some fresh air. Now that she was a couple of miles away from the house and felt someone was stalking her, she was thinking maybe it hadn’t been suc...
It was quite a ways outside of the Seattle city limits and she’d almost got lost a few times on her drive. Coming down the long driveway, she almost turned around, thinking she had to have taken a wrong turn. She finally made it to the home and sat in her car, feeling intimidated. Her little Hond...
Well, sort of. She stepped inside the doors to her classroom, still getting that feeling of pride as she approached the desk she used when she taught history. The smell of jasmine enveloped her from a bouquet left for her in the departmental office; she had brought a few o...
She was tired and glad to be inside, which was unusual. She normally wanted to stay out as long as possible but she was feeling guilty over making her brother worry about her. The two of them continued down the twisting turns of the cave, the route familiar t...
