With These Words Sample #1

Subject to change. Enjoy!

Release Date: October 17, 2023

She'd been surrounded since the moment she stepped inside. Not only because of her mounting popularity, but that yellow dress that clung to her was a beacon for every eye in the place. It hugged her curves, displaying that body she busted her ass for.

Thick thighs that had squeezed my waist when I was deep inside peeked from underneath, teasing me with memories from across the room.

Someone walked up to her and she beamed a fake smile,...

A tentative release date has been determined, but I'm not ready to announce it yet.

Stay tuned and enjoy!

I need to forget everything for a while.

That was all I focus on as I walked with a slight limp into the doors of my favorite lounge, Dani’s.

I needed to find a reprieve that didn’t have anything to do with fighting, my family or my debt. Everything was an emotional drain and I needed an escape. I needed something to relieve the always-mounting pressure b...

I was glad Rell said I could take it easy tonight.

He’d agreed that I needed to spend more time on my recovery after taxing contests like my last one. Especially since I was fighting so often.

But despite today’s workout being only about half of its usual intensity, I still battled fatigue.

“We’re being a pussy today, E? Arthritis creeping up, baby girl? You are getting up there in age, aren’t you?” Rell taunted, squatting and giving me just...

“Pathetic.”

Krystal’s already snail pace on the treadmill slowed as she narrowed her gaze from behind her wide framed glasses. Waist length black locs were pulled back into a tight ponytail, barely moving with her slow ass movements. She was the perfect example of being skinny didn’t necessarily mean someone was athletic.

Krystal couldn’t jog ten feet with becoming gassed.

After listening to her nag about wanting to get in shape, I’d allow...

Love's Hope Sample Sunday

Enjoy!

“Hope, this is unacceptable.”

My fingers froze over the keyboard as my office door slammed open. I watched with annoyance as the angry, bulldog-faced man stalked towards me.

With the same arrogance he displayed in each of our meetings, Mr. Stratford tossed a folder on my desk, watching as several papers skated across the wood before fluttering to the floor.

Adopting a nonchalant expression, I reclined in my chair. “Excuse me?”

“This… ...

“Can we talk for a minute?”

Dammit. Speak of the devil.

I'd hoped my low-key spot was far enough from the festivities to leave me unbothered for the rest of the night, especially by the man standing in front of me.

I’d heard rumors of his involvement with another woman we worked with but my feelings never ran deeper than surface level, so it didn’t bother me. Even when he used it in failed attempts to make me jealous.

My lack of reaction alway...

To Be Loved Sample Sunday

“Underwriting, as well?”

My newly promoted VP, Jaxon, nodded from beside me, thankfully answering yet another of the interviewer’s questions so I wouldn’t have to.

I wished I would’ve popped an aspirin before this interview because the ongoing ache in my chest seemed to worsen. Hot lights and cameras surrounded us, causing my skin to crawl with irritation.

The interviewer, Laura, asked another question and Jaxon, once again, answered ea...

Only Gift I Need Sample Sunday

“When you said important, I didn’t think it meant you needed me to help you fucking decorate.” 

Quincy chuckled from across the room, glancing over his shoulder with a smirk. 

He owned the studio he’d asked me to come to, where he worked as a photographer. He used the various rooms and backdrops for the most beautiful and creative photoshoots I’d ever seen. 

Over the last year, especially when he slowed on the bookings, he started renting the space for events.

Christmas Eve and Christmas ...

“Are you at the airport?”

I just barely resisted the urge to roll my eyes at my baby sister, Noelle. She was the original reason for me taking two weeks off from Harmony Medical.

My baby sister was getting married.

It really came as no surprise since she and her fiancé, Kalvin, had been together since high school. They were truly made for each other.

We hadn’t had a great example of love growing up. Our parents had divo...
