Lessons in Love Series
"A man is going to treat you how you treat yourself. So please, for the love of God, act like a queen."
-
I was expecting a ring on my thirtieth birthday. What I didn't see coming was my boyfriend and business partner dumping me because he couldn't bear the idea of our bland sex life for the rest of our lives.
When an opportunity arises to spend my summer in Las Vegas, I stumble upon my hot new neighbor and his photography studio. We strike a simple deal.
He's the teacher, and I'm his student.
My lesson is learning to love the body I have. In exchange, I'm going to save his business. I have exactly one summer to unearth the most confident version of myself before I go home and return to reality.
But after a passion-fueled summer, I'm not sure of who I am anymore, and it's clear that the worst heartbreak of my life might still be yet to come.

Lennox
Thanks to my reckless roommate, I’m about two skips away from being homeless. Temp jobs aren’t paying the bills, and now I have to cancel the scuba diving trip I can no longer afford.At least I’ll be spared from my instructor’s tempting smile and rock-hard abs. Dex is wonderful, but he’s only ever treated me like a friend…a really good friend. In fact, when he hears I’m having money problems, he comes up with a way we can help each other.
In a clever scheme to ensure her jaded, love-doubting grandson didn’t end up alone, Dex’s grandma left her company to Dex’s…wife. Except he isn’t married. Until me, that is.
Now I’m suddenly the CEO and majority shareholder of a billion-dollar cruise corporation. I’m unprepared, and the sharks in the boardroom are scarier than the great whites in the water. But the plan is simple. Play the part for a year, hand the company back over to Dex, then get divorced. Easy. In exchange, I’ll never have to worry about money again.
But it’s not long before I realize the company is in danger and a lot of people need my help. And now that I’m acting like the boss, there’s a look in Dex’s eyes I’ve never seen before. Something more than friendly… Because when he calls me “wife” lately, it doesn't seem like it's for show.

She wanted to write a bestseller. She wasn't ready for the plot twist.
Being an indie romance author was supposed to be a dream come true. But after publishing umpteen books, I still haven’t “made it” and now I’m just waiting for the dark cloak of insignificance to completely snuff out my career.
I decide to roll the dice on a marketing guru who swears he can yank me out of obscurity. But after a frantic search for “book boyfriend material” and an unexpected bar encounter, I accidentally blow my entire budget on an escort.
Forrest is a charming single dad by day and hotter-than-sin escort by night. But before I can fire him and ask for a refund, he reminds me how I got here in the first place… I’m in desperate need of inspiration.
He might be a walking red flag, but Forrest is ready to be my muse, which means spending the next three months helping me “research” my next bestseller. (Hey, I’m manifesting here.) Our game plan? Act out all the romance novel tropes that make a bingeable love story: brooding billionaires, masked men, cowboys in small towns, and even swoon-worthy green flags.
Forrest plays all the book boyfriend parts perfectly. So perfectly I’m starting to wonder if his feelings for me might be real, or if he’s just earning his paycheck. I’m not sure if I’m trying to write a love story or live one out.
After all, there is no such thing as happily ever after with a professional escort…right?

With a new male threat prevalent, Grayson begins to show Charlie attention (out of competitiveness), and Taio, who has been hurt before and is convinced he'll never settle down and leave escorting.

Experience a sizzling, age-gap romance where passion knows no boundaries and second chances are just the beginning.
An almost-forty, major fashion designer and mogul, is newly divorced and debating starting over with a new company that doesn't involve her controlling billionaire-ex who owns (and funded the start up of) her prior company. She suddenly finds out that her estranged childhood best friend was going through a pregnancy via surrogate, but passed away, leaving her as the guardian of her unborn child. Distraught, Celeste hires an escort to accompany her to the funeral, so she doesn't have to face her guilt and panic alone. Fully convinced she's going to find an alternate solution for the baby, Saylor urges her to entertain the idea, claiming that Celeste's life is just getting started. They engage in a steamy relationship that's supposed to be temporary, but with a "maybe baby" on the way, playing house is suddenly feeling all too real despite their major age gap, and Celeste is starting to wonder if forty might actually be her second chance at the life she forfeited decades ago.

I was sent to end his life. Now love has me risking mine.
SYLVIE
I’ve been a ghost since I was sixteen. Attachments are a luxury I can’t afford. Sympathy is a weakness I’ve been trained to ignore.
My assignment should be simple. Infiltrate Jeffrey Callen’s life, drain him of his secrets, then make him disappear. I’m used to cashing paychecks written in evil men’s blood. But no one prepared me for the way Callen would slip past my defenses, planting something dangerous and alive inside my heart that no blade can reach. Hope. Everything I’ve been told about my target is a lie. He’s no villain. The only thing he’s guilty of is his own humanity.
Sensing my hesitation, my employers have made it clear: finish the mission, or I’m the one who vanishes. The choice becomes abundantly clear. It’s my survival…or his.
CALLEN
I was a soldier who believed in the mission. In honor. In the system I swore to protect. Turns out, the system is corrupt.
After saving the innocent lives I was ordered to take, I became a loose end. Fifteen years later, my comrades are mysteriously dropping one by one, and all signs say I’m next. Not even PALADIN can protect me now.
At least there’s Sylvie. Sharp tongue, dangerous curves, and eyes that look right through me…like she’s searching for something she’ll never admit she wants. I know she has secrets. Lethal ones. Her story doesn’t add up. But when I see the torment in her eyes, I don’t care about the math. I’d lay my life on the line for her. But the deeper I get, I have to wonder—am I the one who’s really in danger?

Eden:
Where I come from, there’s no forgiveness for a whistleblower, even if I saved countless lives. Unemployed, with a wrecked reputation, my only option is a pity job as a leadership consultant for a secret, government-employed team of assassins.
After moving clear across the country, I thought I’d feel safe from the ones who want revenge for my so-called valor, but then I meet him. Linc. The ghost in the shadows, who will never be seen for the hero he is.
I should probably be intimidated by the most lethal assassin PALADIN employs, except the monster has the kindest eyes when he's looking at me. Still, the question remains of who I should fear more…
The ones who are after me or the ones who promised to protect me.
Linc:
I love the way she screams my name, but I like how she whispers it too.
I vowed to never get attached, but Eden has a hold on me that no one has before. She’s the light and until her, I didn’t realize how lonely the darkness is.
Forget PALADIN’s rules. I refuse to let her go. I’ve finally found what’s precious to me and now I have to keep her close, defend her fiercely. She’s mine to pleasure and protect.
And whoever keeps threatening Eden’s life, is going to lose theirs.

The first time I fell in love, I was sixteen. For two blissful years I smelled like nothing but buttercream and stolen moments.
Dalton was the boy next door who had nothing but flour on his hands and big dreams. But somehow that felt like more than enough. He baked me pastries in secret, kissed me on rooftops, and promised me a life that tasted better than anything I could wish for.
But the night we were supposed to vanish together, he disappeared first and took all our plans of forever with him.
Instead, I married the man who was supposed to be straight from a fairytale. Except the castle he whisked me off to is a gilded cage, and it turns out glass slippers are shockingly painful. No wonder our marriage fell apart—it was all just fiction.
So when yet another lonely birthday rolls around, I do something admittedly reckless—I hire an escort. Just a secret stranger to get me through the night.
Except it’s not a stranger standing in my doorway. It’s Dalton—older, a little rougher around the edges, and still looking at me like I’m the only thing he’s ever wanted but couldn’t afford.
He thinks he’ll never be worthy of my world. I’m desperate to escape it.
What if the sweetest ending is the one you almost lost?
