Out of order posts. Ahh!

Sorry, guys, I was scheduling everything and accidentally posted PT 2 of chapter 11 that's going up on June 1. It's not really gonna make sense... Yikes. Sorry! I deleted the post, but know some of you will get it in your email. It'll get posted again on June 1, it's original time slot and order in the chapters.

Sorry!

C10, PT. 4

In honor of the 3 day weekend in the U.S., here’s an extra post! 😍

She spread his shirt and clamped her mouth on his neck. He jerked and released a groan that made the space between her legs pulse. 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.

He...

The elevator opened. Terry’s professional smile vanished when he spotted her strained expression. Apparently, her mask needed work. Terry braved Roth’s wrath by patting her shoulder as she passed. No one said a word as the elevator traveled down. The moment they reached the lobby, she marched toward the front doors, but Roth slipped his arm over her shoulders to stop her.

“I want to leave,” she said through clenched teeth.

“Mo’s two minutes away.”

He took her c...

She could trust him because Roth was a man of his word. Even before she signed the prenup, he acted on his promise to help her sisters and let them in on a deal he made in Germany. Her sisters also overlooked the fact that Roth had every right to be vindictive. Dad fucked him over on multiple fronts for years, and had galvanized many of his contacts to do the same. Despite that, Roth shelved his plans to destroy Hennessy & Co and was helping to rebuild an empire that had done him no favor...

Teaser

Posted this on social media today. This scene is coming up this weekend! 😍

Currently at 124k words. Because I changed so much in the beginning of the book, it canceled out several key scenes that came later. This meant scrapping, rearranging, and creating brand new scenes.

We're covering so much more ground in this book than I originally thought, but that's a great thing! We're also getting into their sexual dynamic more, which I didn't think would happen until book 4.

C10, PT. 1

Ariana stopped abruptly when Jasmine propped herself in the doorway. Her sister’s outraged expression instantly shifted to one of chagrined embarrassment.

“You wouldn’t hesitate to do what, Ari?” Her soft tone belied her inner turmoil. Thankfully, Kye and Bailey were oblivious to the brewing storm and were at the other end of the nursery on tiny chairs, watching a program.

Ariana averted her eyes. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for you to hear that.”

“I know you...

C9, PT. 1

As they descended to the lobby, she was startled by how many times the elevator stopped to pick up other residents. Apparently, the whole building was trying to get somewhere for dinner. Roth stepped into a corner, and she scooted in front of him. Mr. Pearson, one of her father’s business partners, guffawed over something his wife said, but the moment he caught sight of her and Roth, his smile vanished. He didn’t advance into the elevator, but stood directly in front of the doors with his...

Image inspiration for Thanksgiving outfit

Thanks for dropping outfit inspo for Jasmine's Thanksgiving outfit! I took little details from these images!

C8, PT. 3

She dropped her robe outside of the shower and was distracted by Roth’s scent that hung in the air. She breathed him in and was annoyed by the flare of warmth and comfort it gave her. She didn’t want to want him. Even now, when things were good between them, she wanted to be able to block him out and enjoy their physical connection without tapping into the emotional. She stepped under the spray and imagined the water washing her worries away. She had to adapt and evolve. It was the only w...

C8, PT. 2

Once she was sure she had the penthouse to herself, she refilled her cup and turned out the lights. There was enough illumination from the city to walk around without stubbing her toe. She retreated to the window seat and took in the view. She wriggled her toes. She wasn’t sure whether it was the post-orgasm glow, or that she made it back in time for Thanksgiving, but she was mellow and… happy? She shook her head as she sipped her coffee. She shouldn’t be. Things were far from perfect, ...

C8, PT. 1

Jasmine perched in the kitchen window seat of Roth’s penthouse at 432 Park Avenue with both hands around a steaming cup of coffee. It was hours before sunrise, but she was wide awake. Not by choice. Part of that was due to her internal clock being off from spending three weeks in Europe. The other part was Roth. She woke, feeling as if her boob was on fire. She was days away from her period, so her nipples were hella sensitive, something she mentioned on the flight back to New York when he ...

“Trust me, it’s better this way for the both of us. You want freedom, that’s something I’ll never be able to grant you. So, I ask for a year to heal with I broke in you, to make up for the damage I swore I wouldn’t do, and give you what I owe you. Do we have a deal?”

She hesitated.

“Jasmine.”

She swallowed hard. “Promise me that even after the year is up, you won’t blackmail or threaten my family.”

“I already made that promise.”

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there! I don't know how you do it! And a shout out to all the sisters, aunts, friends, etc who support mothers when their loads are too heavy. The older I get, the more I appreciate the sisterhood and how you don't have to explain so much when it comes to other women--they just get it. Grateful my mother is still here and we can celebrate her on this day. I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday! ❤️😘

She lifted her chin. “You think you can keep me locked in your tower forever? That no one will notice?”

“The idea has merit.” He didn’t break eye contact as he covered her hand on the table. He ignored the way it balled into a fist. “The princess attracted a dragon. He guards her vigilantly, making sure no harm comes to her.”

“He locks her in the highest room in the tower, yet she stares out her window, longing for freedom,” she mocked.

He brushed his thumb...

“He threatened to show my blackmail to Grayson, William Davies, and other valuable contacts I had acquired if I didn’t sign the divorce papers,” he said without inflection. “That wouldn’t have dissuaded everyone from doing business with me, but it would make things more difficult and affect future deals.”

Her pulse tripped. He was sharing. She couldn’t fucking believe it. She tried to stay focused, as excitement and victory made her want to bounce in her seat and clap her ...

Name Suggestions

Hey guys, love all the recommendations you gave for female old money names! Can you recommend male names? And it's not necessarily for an older character, but still should sound classic/traditional. Thank you!

C7, PT. 1

She sensed his presence, a second before his hand slipped beneath the fall of her hair and clamped on her nape.

“Is the evidence sufficient?” he asked.

If he provided any more evidence, a jury wouldn’t need to deliberate. She wasn’t surprised that he returned once she finished. Based on his surveillance of her family, bugging her phone, and the cameras he had in his New York penthouse, she suspected this one was rigged as well. He had excused himself to let her look throug...

Name Suggestions

Hey guys, I'm looking for name suggestions for a woman's name. Mature, old money. I'm talking old school like Colette or Sullivan. Something not as common like Alexandra, Elizabeth, Samantha, etc. Recs?

C6, PT. 5

“Here.”

She turned as Roth approached with three thick folders in his arms.

“Where do you want it?”

She was taken aback by the size of the files before remembering he’d been watching them for years. She pointed to the high table with the vase of ruby amaryllis and berry sprigs.

He set the files on the table and turned to her. She tensed, but all he did was grab her face, so he could steal a kiss.

“I have some calls to make. I’ll be in the office if ...

New blog post

Monthly update posted on my website summarizing April rewrites, similar to what I posted here ❤️

C6, PT. 4

Again, his voice was coarse, far from the clipped, robotic delivery he normally used.

“I gave you the best of me when I visited, more than I’ve given anyone. Back then, I couldn’t put you first. I couldn’t even put myself first, but today’s different. There will still be times when business takes precedence, but I can make allowances. I can cut out time to…”

She eyed him incredulously as he struggled to name a single activity that didn’t involve work. “You’re h...

C6, PT. 3

She closed her eyes as he positioned himself behind her. Even as a voice inside her screamed she should run, she stayed put as he kissed her ass. She heard a hiss as he undid his zipper, and then he was pushing inside her. She expected hard, brutal, but Roth was in no hurry. He blanketed her body with his, hands slipping from hip to neck before going to her breast and kneading through the hoodie. He gripped and released to suffuse her with more unwanted heat.

“People are going to hurt...

C6, PT. 2

He nuzzled her as she wept. “I thought you played me for a fool. All I had was his word to go on. I was tortured by thoughts of whether you used me to get away from your father or initiate you, so you could expand your horizons with other men.”

“Y-you’re sick.”

“Maybe.” He brought her hand to his face and rubbed his beard against her sensitive palm. “You didn’t leave me for your inheritance?”

Angrily, she tried to wriggle away. “No!”

“You neve...

BC Update

Bitter Confessions Update:

Hi All,

I wanted to give you an update on Bitter Confessions. Straight up, I didn't make as much progress as I hoped this month. 😩 I got bogged down in the beginning, and I think you can all see why. It's an ongoing, 7 chapter scene, and it needed major restructuring, a dialogue overhaul, and more fleshing out. This basically added another chapter’s worth of material. I'm still not happy with it—there are so many things I want to ...

C6, PT. 1

There was a strange roaring sound in her ears, as if she had been shoved underwater. Her limbs went weightless, and her chest seized, but she didn’t fight the paralysis, she let it consume her. He just confirmed her worst fear.

All the signs were there—his anger and resentment, his takeover of Hennessy & Co, and his insistence that they marry for this charade. He wanted legal ties to… what? Take her inheritance? That niggling worry that there was some vague clause in the prenu...

C5, PT. 5

Her eyes drifted back to Roth. For a man who saw eating as a waste of time if it wasn’t paired with another task, his motionlessness seemed like an odd phenomenon. Talking about her infidelity pushed him into a violent rage, but her response to Maximus’ allegations caused an unsettling static that pushed him into such deep reflection that everything ceased to exist for him. She should take advantage of his preoccupation and leave the room, maybe arm herself with a weapon, and retrieve her...

C5, PT. 4

“Jamie.”

His eyelashes lifted, confirming the monster had retreated.

“You’re bleeding.”

He focused on the hand casually collaring her throat. When it shifted, she breathed a sigh of relief, only to have his thumb dip beneath her chin to expose her throat. Again, she didn’t fight. What was the point? She wasn’t prepared for him to duck his head and brush kisses, gentle as a butterfly’s wing, over her tender throat.

“Where you’re concerned, my control...

C5, PT. 3

“Do your friends know about Thalia Crane?”

The underlying anger warned her who he was referring to. She shot him a cool glance over her shoulder. “You mean Matthew, Lincoln, and the others?” At his curt nod, she turned her back on him and paced toward the crowded bookshelf and wondered if he’d read every single title. “No. They’d be horrified.” She paused and then let out a humorless chuckle as she drawled, “Or, if they’re as interested as you suggest, maybe they’l...

C5, PT. 2

“Is it? If I was some other man’s daughter, maybe you would have confided in me about your trials and let me console you. Instead, I was treated like the enemy. Why would I subject myself to a lifetime of punishment for things I have no control over?” She fixed him with a level look through dull, glassy eyes. “Yet here I am being punished because my father blackmailed and put you on his blacklist.”

She saw that hit home when his hand balled into a fist.

“You’re here ...

C5, PT. 1

Even as her stomach iced over, she gave him a plastic smile to cover the shame that snaked through her belly. “I guess that makes us even.”

His eyes narrowed into slits. “Did Maximus tell you I cheated on you?”

She wasn’t aware that she moved, only that she was on her feet, her body reacting to her flight instinct quicker than her mind. She took two strides before Roth grabbed hold of her and swung her around.

“You wrote in your series that my character, Rex, che...
