Hey guys! I shared some snippets during the Sunday meet we had, so wanted to make sure I showed them here as well. There's a snippet scheduled every day this week! Thanks to everyone who came to hang out with me. It was fun to meet you all!
I'm getting deeper into the story, which means I'm even more distracted and absentminded than usual. So, if you need something, message me here or tag me on Discord. I usually get so many notifications that I don't really pay attention to them unless...

When she ducked into the back seat of the Bentley and looked up at him, she saw he was grinning.
“I may need to read this book,” he said before he closed the door.
“What book?” Mo asked from the driver’s seat.
“The best book I’ve ever read,” she said, leaning forward to pat him on the shoulder. “Long time no see. What have you two been up to?”
He...

OMG you guys. This freaking chapter... I just wanted a buffer between Thanksgiving and some big scenes that come after that. I thought it would be a good breather for her to have coffee with Sarai. There are time jumps (extremely necessary or this book would be as long as the Harry Potter Series), so this chapter would show what her life is like now. They could discuss some interesting topics and maybe she would drop by to see Roth at the office... Maybe. My plans were pretty vague, but when ...

Jasmine sat cross-legged on the window seat, bent over a book, with a massive fleece blanket pooled around her.
“Oh my God, oh my God,” she chanted and smacked her knee as the story reached its glorious, devastating climax. She grabbed handfuls of the blanket and let out a stifled shriek as she whizzed through the final pages and stared at the last one, refusing to believe what was written there.
“No!” she wailed and slumped aga...

Roth was sitting in the living room with a laptop balanced on his knee. He looked up when she came down the hallway loaded down with two large packages. He frowned.
“What’s all that?”
“Presents.”
“It’s not Christmas.”
She tipped her nose in the air. “It doesn’t have to be Christmas to get a present.”
She bent over to make sure she h...

Hey everyone, it looks like we're meeting on Sunday, Sept 10 at 7pm PST!
This will be an hour long meet on Discord. On Discord, under "Social" you'll see a chatroom for Meetup and that's where we'll be.
This will be a hangout to meet other patrons, talk about books, or whatever you want! I can't reveal any spoilers or future plot points so if you have questions, keep it to things that have already been revealed and I'll answer if I can. If there are some who can't make it on...

Don't mind me as I get my freak on with Roth today 😈 Damn, he’s sexy.
She looked up at Roth and thumped his chest. “What was that?”
“What was what?” he asked as he leaned down and nuzzled her temple.
“You wouldn’t let me look at them!”
“You don’t need to look at them. They don’t exist for you. There’s just me.”

“Jasmine.”
She swallowed hard as a tear slipped out of the corner of her eye. “I’m sorry. My mind is all fucked up.”
“What’d they say to you?”
“Nothing I didn’t know.” That she was blind and stupid and knew nothing about the true nature of the only man she’d ever loved. Despite her fervent denials, she knew they were partially right. She would never know everything about him. She loo...

Any ideas for the title of the first book Jasmine wrote as Thalia Crane? There's 4 books in the series but I never mention the series name or the individual books because I don't name anything unless I absolutely have to. Lol.
But this just came up in the story so does anyone have any ideas for title of the first book that depicts the start of their affair?

As she spread his shirt so her hands could wander over him, she clamped her mouth on his neck. He jerked and released a groan that made the space between her legs pulse and her lips curve with savage delight. She wanted to hear more. She wanted him desperate. Panting and moaning, so far gone he couldn’t hold back those sounds that made her fucking crazy. He was so proud of that hickey she’d given him in Denmark. She would give him one that he was going to have difficulty hiding.&...

“I’m trying for her sake, Colette, but he gives me the creeps. How can she stand him? Dad would be turning over in his grave if he knew he was having Thanksgiving dinner with us. Do we really need his help with Hennessy & Co? I think we can fix the company without him.”
“Ari,” Colette said in a repressive tone, but Ariana was on a roll.
“Did you see the way he looked at my kids? It’s chilling. He acts like he’s...

The sound of running water disguised their arrival, so when they rounded the corner into the grand living room, her family was unaware. It was very similar to her arrival two months ago when she came back from Colorado. They stood around the gold hearth, only this time, there was a sparkling garland, stockings, and a Christmas tree. Ariana hadn’t been lying when she said Colette was trying to make this holiday extra special for Polara.

Change of plans canceled out a storyline I wrote previously which means I got to delete 7k words from the manuscript. Hooray! I'm still over 100k words, but I'm happy to replace those words with scenes that are much more poignant.
Finally getting past a lot of the older stuff I wrote (a lot of which doesn't apply anymore or needed to be heavily rewritten). Roth is so different from the first version I wrote, so having to switch a lot of stuff around or cancel out some things compl...

“You’re as careful and methodical as my father,” she mused. “You say he stumbled across your secret by chance. You’re not one to leave evidence, so what was on that disc?”
His body was rigid with tension. She didn’t let that stop her from reaching out to stroke that intimidating face that made her weak with desire and terror.
“You’re privy to everyone’s darkest secrets,” she murmured. “After what my father did to...

She was too lost in her own thoughts to pay attention as he fiddled with her fingers, but when she felt an unfamiliar band hit the base of her finger, she looked down. And everything in her stilled.
A one carat princess cut diamond on a simple gold band sparkled, as shiny today as it was seven years ago when she spotted it in the jewelry display case. Her vision blurred as she was bombarded by memories. She felt an echo of the elation she experienced the day h...

“I don’t like being around people. I find most of them irritating. I like people touching me even less,” he said as he trailed kisses from her lips to her ear. “The exception was a college student with messy curls, ink stains on her fingers, and a smile that made even someone like me feel something.”
She gripped his hair as he licked the shell of her ear. “You’re fucking with me.”

“You still think you can walk away, that you have a choice. You don’t.”
She braced her hand on his chest. “I do have a choice. You think you can keep me locked up in this penthouse and no one will notice? I don’t think even Mo and Johan would let you get away with that.”
He looked down at the hand on his chest and smoothed his hand over her arm, brushing up her sleeve up to her elbow.

He squeezed her jaw to stop her tirade. “It took me five years to be in the same country as you, a snowstorm to let me touch you, and tens of millions in Hennessy and Co stock to get us here. I’m not letting you walk away now.”
“That’s not up to you.”
“It is. If I have to lock you up, I will.”
She slammed her hands against his chest. “What the fuck is wrong with you?”

I finally made my way through the opening chapters (2-4). It’s one continuous scene the morning after the showdown at the end of Bitter Secrets. The story picks up right where we left off. It's this insane, epic throw down (as you guys have been seeing from snippets) where they thrash out their history—the good, bad, and the ugly. These 3 chapters that cover one day, a handful of hours,...
