Love is a journey ~ Rosemary Beach is the destination... Look out for this new novella all about the legendary rock star Dean Finlay, coming soon!

"Rumor: There are moments in life when you make a decision. Accept who you are. What you have become. This was one of those times...The fairytale I thought I''d found had become a nightmare so quickly after I said, "I do." Which was the reason I ran when I had the chance. Not thinking about the consequences. Just knowing I had to get free before it was my life that was taken. I never expected to end up finding a haven. A place where people were willing to help me hide. It was as if I had walked into my own perfect daydream. King: "Don''t believe every pretty face you meet, sweets. You should know by now that''s a terrible f----g idea." She was my job. I was to make her feel safe and do whatever I had to in order to make sure she didn''t run. Underneath the abused and broken exterior, there was a fighter. It was in her eyes. I lived for the moments when she let me see that spark. I had been headed straight to Hell years before I met Rumor, but letting her fall in love with me was going to reserve me a room in the darkest pit available. One day soon, she was going to find out I was the monster she was running from and the family she had come to trust was the mafia that had killed her husband."--

It''s a fragile thing- the whispers of truth that you hope are lies. Hughes Farm was the largest racing horse establishment in the south. The family that owned it were known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn''t prepare me for all that was to come. I don''t think anything truly could have. Growing up with only my father and brother hadn''t been easy but we''d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I''d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison. It is when a woman, claiming to have been my mother''s best friend, arrives to take me home with her that questions begin to surface. My father had rarely spoken of my mother. She''d died when I was a toddler. Having no other option, I trust this stranger and am thrown into a world of mansions, racing horses, extravagance, and him. It''s true that there is a thin line between love and hate. But there is an even thinner line between truth and lies.

The mafia south of the Mason Dixon line is ruled by possessive, controlling, dangerous, alphas. Except for one. Saxon Houston has grown up the best friend of the mafia boss''s youngest son. He knew one day he''d have to play a role in the life his father and grandfather were a part of. However, he much preferred dealing with raising and training the thoroughbred race horses side of the family business.When he falls hard and fast for a girl that ends up being the enemy''s sister, he''s ready to defend her innocence. However, she shuts him out completely. Where the girls before her had failed, Haisley Slate managed to crush him.Two months later... when he opens the door to his hotel room and she stands there wearing a cleaning uniform, he is cruel. Seeing her makes him feel and he no longer allows that emotion when it comes to women. He is tired of being hurt.There is one issue though... She''s pregnant and it''s his baby.

A world of racing horses, wealth, power, and organized crime was what Garrett Hughes had been born to lead. He thrived as the boss of the southern mafia. Women had come and gone in his life, but he had never needed any of them. Once he was given his heirs, he no longer cared about marriage. He had one family, The Family. He didn''t need anything more.The gorgeous cocktail waitress at his private club is everything he despises. She gets by in life by her beauty, not striving for more. Just like his ex-wives. Beautiful, vain, and flighty. What kind of woman raises a kid in a camper, always picking up and moving? A selfish one. Someone who can''t be trusted.Fawn Parker isn''t a typical mother, but having a child when she was seventeen and alone in the world, she did all she could to give her the best life possible. The one thing she has taught her daughter is to never back away from an adventure. To live life to its fullest.The day that Garrett sees Fawn''s true character, he can''t seem to stay away. He wants to be near her and experience life through her eyes. It''s addicting and unlike anything he''s ever known.What he didn''t expect was to have to work for her attention. He''s never been told no until Fawn does it frequently. Tossing his demands, gifts, and interest in his face. She refuses to let his money and power control her.But instead of getting angry, he keeps coming back for more.

"The truth behind the lie isn’t always a relief. Loving a man known for his wealth, arrogance, and power had been a mistake. My head had known he was dangerous but my heart hadn’t cared. When the lies began to unravel and the truth slapped me in the face, running was the only thing I knew to do. I didn’t belong in this world. His world. But you don’t run from The Family. Not when they claim you as their own. Trusting anyone is a mistake. Friendship is only as deep as the Boss allows it to be. You are never hidden. They will always find you. Every move I made, he controlled. The people helping me were all under his command. The only weapon I had was his obsession with me. Learning to use it against him could destroy me but I had no other choice"-- back cover.

"Huck : Two places I never thought I’d be: a church and my little brother’s funeral. I was the one who was supposed to die first. Not Hayes. He hadn’t chosen my path. I took lives but Hayes had wanted to save souls. Yet here I was drinking from a flask, around people that fucking hated me, unable to take my eyes off the fiancé he’d left behind. My brother may have wanted to be a minister but he’d been going to marry a woman with the body of a porn star. Trinity: It had taken me a while but I’d finally gotten on my feet after my fiancé’s unexpected death. The first day on my new house cleaning job where I would make enough money to pay for college ended with a gag in my mouth, my hands tied behind my back and a gun to my head. Lucky for me I was taken alive while the rest of the household was shot and killed because my fiancé’s older brother happened to be one of the men who’d murdered my new employer. I’m now stuck in a house with three men who refuse to let me leave until it’s safe. Huck hates me because he believes I lied to his brother. He humiliates me every chance he gets. But his cruelty doesn’t affect me. I was beaten down long before I met Huck Kingston. It’s when I’m forced to pretend I belong to Huck in order to stay safe inside his world that the darkness in my soul finds an outlet I didn’t know I needed." - back cover

"Wealth, power, and privilege have always been a part of Levi Shephard''s life. However, it comes at a price. The darkness that surrounds being born into a family of organized crime has always kept him at a distance when it came to relationships. He only hooked up with women who understood the game and played along. Until fate threw him a twist he wasn''t expecting. Levi is left with no choice but to protect a girl he should never have even been allowed to get close to. Aspen Chance isn''t just young, naïve, and sheltered. Her health is fragile. When he swore he would make sure Aspen had everything she needed- he hasn''t expected her to end up sleeping in his bed due to her night terrors, or trusting him when it came to her health care and he sure as hell hadn''t been prepared when she wanted to experience pleasure. Meeting her needs takes on a whole new meaning that he fears could destroy them both."--Back cover.

I close my eyes as I hear him speak. I take one very long and deep breath hoping to calm the immediate butterflies that take flight in my stomach and hope to slow down the racing of my heart.
