I don't normally buy books that I know are going to end in a cliffhanger unless I have read previous books by the author. However, this book sounded interesting enough to catch my attention; so I took a chance. I am now glad that I did. This is the story of Liberty, a twenty-one year old stripper...
I said, looking at the list of people we had to interview. “I’ll contact them all tonight. I’ll set up meetings over the next two days, so we can get as much information as possible. I’ll just tell them I’d like to meet them—that it’s an introductory visit. No need to mention all the sordid detai...
I excused myself and headed to my room. I selected a black lace cocktail dress and small, black, kitten-heeled sandals. Fortified by the wine, I also wore a tiny thong and a gorgeous black bra. Just in case James changed his mind. Back at headquarters, I’d been thoroughly ...
Good thing I’d sent that paperwork in while I was still lucid. Now my mother couldn’t take any more funds from New Horizons. At least there was one less thing to worry about. I couldn’t have forced myself to worry about anything right now, anyway. James held my hand as we ...

A nervous pit formed in my stomach as I looked at Kyle.

He was good-looking enough to be an actor, honestly. He would fit right...
"This is a bad idea. Fucked up. I'm not one of those ballplayers. I don't want my reputation getting completely ruined." "Will you relax? No one's going to know she's a hooker!" Eric was looking through my refrigerator, which had recently been stocked by the maid service he'd hired. "And for the ...
“You know I won’t let you go anywhere—not without me.” “You should let me finish ’cause that’s not all she said,” Audrey whispered. A blush was creeping up her neck, which was never a good sign. “What else?” I asked. Ice-cold fury was pulsing throug...
We got into a routine of writing down important things and using our fake-normal voices for everything else. After a while, it was easy. I wished that we could just stay like this, forever. In our perfect little bubble. I would have stayed with him like that, if I could. A...
I pushed the thought roughly from my mind, choosing instead to concentrate on the neat row of suits hanging in my walk-in closet. I selected a light gray one, perfect for a hot summer evening. I also had a feeling that things were about to heat up with my family. Keeping my cool was very importan...
