Collection Excerpts:

Billionaire Factor: Copyright 2023 @Scarlett Avery

I’m really not sure what kind of conversation to make when a man pays for you to be at his beck and call.

“Let me go over how the evening is going to unfold,” he says, holding my gaze.

All right. No chitchat. Straight to business.

“I’m all ears.”

He cocks a brow.

Even his eyebrows are sexy.

How can that be?

I scan his gorgeous face, overwhelmed by the intensity of his eyes. Don’t get me started about the few sexy strands of gray hair that caress his temples.

Tall, brown-haired men with blue eyes usually leave me weak in the knees, and Bryce Van Der Linden is no exception.

Silver fox in the making.

I approve.

He clears his throat.

Crap. I’m ogling.

I sit straighter in my chair.

Hit me with your best shot. “I’m listening.”

“The event starts at seven-thirty. The car will pick us up at ten past, and we’ll arrive in good time since the venue where the Camus Cognac Cuvee foundation dinner will take place is located near this hotel.”

“I see.”

“You’ll stay by my side during the evening and act like my charming date.” Copy that. “I’ve secured your services from six-thirty to one in the morning, but I don’t expect we’ll stay until the end. The driver will drop us off here, I’ll pay you, and the driver will take you home.”

Wait. Aren’t I supposed to get paid first? I guess we’re going to a gala, and that’s not something Todd mentioned in his list of rules.

Shit.

Bryce continues talking. “There will be a lot of international businesspeople with deep pockets, and if you can help smooth the interactions by throwing in a few sentences in their native tongue, I’m sure it will help me close more deals in the coming weeks.”

“I should be able to manage easily.”

“Todd told me you have a translation degree, and you speak Spanish, French, and Italian.”

“Yes, and yes.”

“Since I can barely say hello in any of those languages, I’ll count on you to break the ice. Are we clear?”

I nod. “You want me to smile, be charming, and when the opportunity arises, flirt with potential clients in their native tongue.”

“Yes, but don’t flirt your way into another man’s bed when I’m footing the bill,” he warns.

I didn’t expect that answer.

My inexperience as an escort shines bright.

Embarrassment colors my cheeks.

His face softens. “From what Todd tells me, you’re smart and you pick up on things quickly.”

“I am and I do.” I smile despite my discomfort.

The waiter returns with our drinks and some tempting appetizers. A few sips of my gin and tonic gives me the courage to ask a question I’ve had on my mind since Todd told me that the uber-successful and very eligible Bryce Van Der Linden was the first client of many to get in touch with him to secure ‘Amanda’s’ services.

“Bryce, may I ask a question?”

“Of course.”

“What should I say if someone asks about our relationship? How should I refer to you?”

“Good question. There’s a strategic reason behind hiring a gorgeous and sexy woman who speaks multiple languages. People will spend more time admiring your beauty and being impressed by your language skills than figuring out our relationship, but if someone were to ask, simply tell them you’re my director of international business. It’s a quick and simple way to put an end to any further questions they might have about us.”

“Got it. My language skills were the determining factor in selecting me over the other women at the agency?” Did I just ask that? “I’m sorry, Bryce. That came out the wrong way. I’m not questioning your decision,” I say, fumbling over my words.

He leans in dangerously close, his cologne—which I’m sure cost an arm and a leg—tickles my nostrils.

Holding my brown eyes with his dreamy blue ones, he places a hand on top of mine, and says in a suggestive voice, “Your language skills are a bonus. I selected you because you’re beautiful and you have an incredibly curvaceous body.”

His silky words make my nipples stand to attention and send tingles cartwheeling to my pussy.

Good Lord.

Billionaire Hotshot: Copyright 2023 @Scarlett Avery

Concern shines bright in his eyes and the stunning aqua shade shifts into a stormy blue as his jaw sets.

Why am I spilling my guts to a man who is, for all intents and purposes, still a stranger?

He looks over my head, seemingly searching for something, but I’m not sure what.

“Come on, let’s get out of the way,” he drags me to the front of lobby, not even waiting for my response.

“What’s your name?” he asks.

“I thought we weren’t supposed to exchange real names?”

“That only applies at the club. We obeyed the rules, but when we’re in the real world, we abide by different rules, J.S.,” he says with a light chuckle.

My cheeks blush furiously.

“You got my note?”

“Of course I did. And for the record, you were wrong.”

I furrow my eyebrows. “In what sense?”

“We meet again.”

“We do,” I say with a small smile.

His expression changes, turning more serious.

“Can I be honest?” he asks.

I nod, because I’m still awestruck.

“I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since we hooked up.” My pulse jumps at his admission. “I really wanted to know who you were. In fact, it was a burning need.”

Butterflies erupt inside me.

Oh.

My.

God.

“It’s the same for me. When I wasn’t consumed with all this drama––aka my life––you were on my mind.”

I spent the better part of Sunday at the office. Sydney came over on Sunday evening to keep me company and help me with my long list of stupid house chores. All the while, we exchanged naughty stories. Her alpha was undeniably an experienced lover, but he didn’t rock her world the way the man standing in front of me did mine.

“Are you going to keep me in suspense much longer, J.S.?” he presses.

“My name is Jules Salinger.”

“Pleased to meet you, Jules Salinger,” he flashes me a smile that makes me forget all my woes. “My name is Levi Aldridge.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Levi.”

“So, you’re having a challenging day?”

“To say the least.”

“I recognize you don’t know much about me, but I’m a great listener.”

“It’s okay,” I shake my head. “I don’t want to trouble you. I’ll figure it out,” I lie. As it stands, only a crystal ball—or a million dollars—can help me figure out my next step.

“It’s no trouble, Jules,” he tells me.

I love hearing my name on his lips.

I consider him for a long beat.

“Listen, whatever you’re dealing with is weighing on you. Sometimes you just need to get it off your chest.”

I let out a heavy sigh. “Okay.”

“Good,” he smiles. “I just ended a meeting with my lawyers, and I was heading to the convenient store for a chocolate bar because I’m starved,” he tells me. “If we’re going to talk, we might as well do it in front of a hearty meal and great wine. I know it’s only half past five, but why don’t we have an early dinner? I know a phenomenal Italian restaurant not too far.”

“I—uh… Are you sure? I don’t want you to change your evening plans on my account.”

“I know exactly what I want and that’s spending the evening with you,” his voice drops a notch or two, sounding wholly seductive, although I’m unsure if that’s on purpose or not. Regardless, my pussy approves.

“Oh,” I say, nervously brushing a strand of hair behind my ear.

“Do you work in this building?” he asks.

“No.” I give him a quick rundown, but don’t mention Hillary. “I took a taxi here. I didn’t want to deal with parking, or worse, a ticket.” And my shitty car is unreliable.

“My Range Rover is parked in the garage. Let’s take my wheels and I’ll drive you back to your office after dinner.”

“Okay.” Truth be told, I don’t have it in me to argue. Not to mention, in this shit storm that is my life, Levi Aldridge is a beacon of light. I’d have to be stupid not to take him up on his offer.

Billionaire Mogul: Copyright 2023 @Scarlett Avery

A long stretch of silence passes between us.

“I wonder how much time we have left before the oxygen runs out in the elevator,” I say.

“What?!”

“I’m pulling your leg again.”

“You’re just mean.” There’s lightness in that statement.

“Not at all. I just wanted to get a reaction out of you since it seems it’s all I can get.”

She lets out a low laugh.

“Are we friends now?” I ask.

“Not even in your wildest dreams, loverboy.”

“Look at that, you stumbled onto something.”

“What are you talking about?” I’m sure she’s sporting a frown.

“I’m a lover, not a fighter.”

“Moving right along,” she says.

I chuckle.

Feeling like we’ve made progress, I take a chance.

“You smell lovely, by the way.”

The closed space traps the exquisite floral scent of her perfume.

“Thanks,” she says. “I’m lucky you didn’t eat garlic, yogurt, or sardines for breakfast. Halitosis is so unattractive.”

I chuckle again. “Is that your way of saying you like how I smell?”

“You’re putting words into my mouth, loverboy.”

“I’m going to savor this moment because you just went from hating my guts to calling me loverboy. Twice.”

“Don’t get the wrong idea, I still hate your guts, but that was smooth.”

“It’s my trademark, along with my dazzling white smile and baby blue eyes.”

“Oh, someone is so full of themselves.”

“Not at all,” I say. “I’m simply describing my best assets while keeping it PG. Feel free to do the same.”

That gets me a laugh. It’s contained, nonetheless, it’s a laugh.

“I’m sure your charm must go over well with the women you try to seduce—”

“Try? I’m insulted. The word isn’t even part of my vocabulary.”

“I guess women drop their panties for you every single time.”

“Wouldn’t you want to know, cupcake?”

I don’t know how far apart we are, but I take a small step closer to her.

Her clothes shuffle and then there’s a thumping sound. “Shit!” she says.

“I guess you can’t run very far.”

“Don’t you dare touch me,” she says. “I’ve taken self-defense classes.”

“I wouldn’t dream of touching you unless you begged for it.”

She gasps.

I grin wide.

“Only a woman who has no sense of her worth would beg a man to touch her,” she says.

“I can assure you, they beg for much more than that.”

She clears her throat.

A million questions bounce around in my head.

Is she a screamer in bed?

Would she dig her fingernails into my ass as I drive into her?

Does she prefer doggie style, or woman on top, or maybe reverse cowgirl.

What am I thinking about?

She’s not that wild.

I bet I could change that in an instant.

“Wow, Romeo. You have a hell of an ego.”

“Perhaps you’ve never had it good enough to beg for it,” I say.

“Women fake it all the time and men are none the wiser.” Feisty.

“There are certain telltale signs women can’t fake. A good lover knows that.”

“You’re so full of—”

The elevator jerks just as she’s about to rip me a new one.

The lights flicker back on and static screeches from the ceiling speakers before a voice blares. “This is the Los Angeles Fire Department. Hold on tight. Everything should be restored soon.”

I shield my eyes from the brightness.

Eager to know what she looks like, I lower my hand and turn my head.

I blink.

Excerpt Copyright 2023 Ashton Brooks

“CalSone Day?” I read the banner that is currently being hung up outside our family restaurant in preparation for the big celebration that is a week away. “Joseph, it’s Cal-Zone. With a Z!” I yell up at him, and watch his body sway slightly on the ladder. He looks over it and checks his phone. “That is a Z,” he shouts back and waves his hand over the sign. “It’s a fucking S.” I growl back. “Hold on.” I leave him and head into the restaurant to find my backup. Thank god all five of my sisters are in today so they can back me up. Our mother is in the kitchen preparing for the big event, so I won’t bug her, but the rest of them are needed. “Rosie, I need you all,” I whistle at her from behind the register, waving her outside. The look she shoots me is as sharp as daggers, but I know it’s only because I dared call her in such a manner. She must see the frustration on my face though, because her scowl quickly turns to concern. I hear her yell for the others and I let the door shut while I keep an eye on Joseph. He’s mumbling to himself, words I can’t hear, but the redness on his cheeks shows he must have realized he’s wrong. “What the heck, Rome?” My oldest sister, Romi, flings her hands up in the air. She’s scowling at me, and I meet her raised brows with my own. The rest of them follow out and stand amongst each other. “What happened?” Rumer asks, and I love that, as usual, she remains the calmest in the chaos. She’s the second oldest child and she has always been the peacekeeper. “I don’t know, he flipped a lid inside and said we all had to be out here,” Rosie lifts her shoulders. She is the youngest in our family so I can’t help but smile at her, even though she isn’t helping me. “The sign,” I point up at it and all five sets of dark eyes, the one trait we all share, jump to where the hanging red tarp is. “Cal..Sone Day,” Reagan reads, and I see her brow furrow. “With an S?” “Ahh, fuck,” Remi, the sister closest to me in age, laughs, “Joseph, what the hell did you do?” She is the wildest of my sisters, and she cusses about as much as I do, much to our mother’s dismay. “It says Calsone Day!” He yells down at all of us. “Calzone is spelt with a Z, Joseph,” Romi snaps back, her big- sister voice coming out. She sounds scarily like our mother when she does that, and Joseph is speechless. “Baby,” Joseph calls to her, “My phone says S. I’ll change it, I’ll change it.” He throws his hands in the air and starts taking down the sign. I wait him out, my hands on my hips, standing next to Romi. Joseph is her new fiancé, and he’s been trying to help out around the restaurant, but he still gets on my nerves. “Quit scowling at him,” She whispers next to me and nudges her elbow into my side. I grunt from the impact and turn to her with a smirk, “It’s not my fault the guy can’t spell Calzone right. And he wants to work here? Take over a share?” “He doesn’t want a share,” She sighs and stomps her foot, something all the women in my family are known for, “He just wants to be part of the business with us. I would think that is what you all would want. We need the extra hands. Rumer’s baby is due in a month, and her shift will need to be picked up.” “Romi,” I slide my arm around her shoulders, “It will be fine. And leave Joseph to me. He needs to learn just like Tommy did for Rumer. And now look, he’s the best meat guy in the town.” “I know you mean well Rome, but we both know that Joseph will never be good enough in your eyes. You hold grudges like no one else, and the fact that he ran over your bike tire when you were ten still makes you mad,” She argues, and I see the turmoil in her eyes. “It was a great bike,” I shrug my shoulders. “Roman!” “I’m kidding,” I give her a squeeze, “I will try and take it easier on him. Once he fixes the damn sign.” Romi huffs, shaking her head, but I do see a small smile on her lips. She heads back into the restaurant, and my gaze finds its way back to Joseph, who is rolling up the sign and tapping away on his phone. “Are we good?” His eyes shoot up to mine, “I ordered a new one, with rush delivery. It will get here before Wednesday.” “Great. We can hang it up right as everyone is walking in,” I grunt and shake my head. Joseph grabs his bag and his ladder, and scurries to his work truck. I watch him drive away and try to remember to breathe in and out. Calzone Day needs to be perfect. It’s a staple holiday at Mohagen’s, and has been since my grandfather first built it here in Candy Cane Key.  My father, Rebel, inherited it from him, and when he married mother, they took it over. Their wedding reception was hosted here, all six of us were raised in these kitchens, and took afternoon naps in the booth. The sign needs to be perfect. We can’t not have Calzone Day.

Excerpt  Copyright 2023 Elyse Kelly

  “And the hits keep coming,” I say as I answer the call. Peter gives me a faux-offended look. “I’m just checking in on my dear little brother! For all we know, your Tracey—” “Teddie,” I answer before I can stop myself. I immediately regret opening my mouth when Peter gives me a mischievous grin. “Right,” he drawls. “Tawney—” I suck on my teeth. “Pete. Petey. Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater…” He snorts and raises an eyebrow. “I thought you were never going to call me that again.” “Well, you’re intentionally goading me.” His grin quirks up at the sides. “I’d call it more of a test. You failed, by the way.” “What? How could I fail?” I blurt out before relaxing back into my seat. “I mean, I don’t know what you’re testing, but I’m good at taking tests. I’m quite intelligent.” Peter shakes his head in amusement. “And yet you fall for my tricks every time. I can’t lie, though. I rather enjoy it.” I’m getting annoyed that he’s beating around the bush. “What was the test?” “Well, I thought I’d check and see how you’re getting on with… Teddie.” I narrow my eyes at him, and he rolls his before adding, “Yeah, I knew her name. And the fact that you corrected me means you know it too.” I lift an eyebrow. “Of course, I know it. We’ve been together for five days, fourteen hours, and twenty-seven minutes. Give or take.” “So, you’d say your routine has been shaken up? And how does that make you feel?” “Don’t lose sight of your qualifications, Peter. You’re a pencil pusher, not a therapist.” He shrugs. “My plan is working. I don’t care what you say. You obviously like her since you’ve felt bothered enough to remember her name. She might be just what you need.” I grunt and lean back in my chair, far enough to crack my back. “What I need is peace and quiet. What I need is time alone. But what I get is Teddie.” “What do you mean?” Peter cocks his head to the side like a dog trying to understand his owner’s gibberish. “She’s everywhere, all the time! Whenever I leave my room, she’s in the kitchen baking cookies or cakes or whatever the fuck she’s making for the day.” Peter gives a low whistle. “Sounds rough.” I glare at him, trying to think of other things I find annoying about Teddie. “She’s always… humming or singing.” “Yikes. Can’t carry a tune?” I throw my hands up. “No! Always on-key with perfect pitch, which makes it even worse! She’s like an angelic little songbird.” Peter gives me a sarcastic look through the screen. “Ah, yes, that must be fucking horrible.” “And she’s practically sunshine in a sundress. I’m losing my goddamn mind.” I run my fingers through my hair as if to showcase the point. “I know this is all some sort of cover, like she has a nefarious plot to snuff me out before I can leave a bad review or something.” Peter shakes his head at me. “Oh, my sweet, naïve little brother… You’re in a mess—that’s for sure. Let me tell you what’s actually going to happen.” He leans in closer, so I mimic his movements. “You’re going to fall in love with this woman and stay in Christmas Key forever.” “It’s Candy Cane Key,” I reply robotically before realizing what he said and sputtering. “That’s never going to happen!”

They’re short, smutty, and tastefully trashy. If you love over-protective, sexy, alpha book boyfriends who make you swoon and reach for your favorite… bookmark, then you’ve come to the right place. When I’m not writing books or doing bookish things, I’m probably listening to music, designing smutty stickers, adding to my spectacular band t-shirt collection, or learning how to do something new like arm-knitting because I’m neurodivergent AF! And yes, I really do know how to knit with my arms.
