Introduction
"Get on your knees," Imset whispered in her ear, rolling a finger over her lips. She nodded, unable to speak as she lowered before him. His eyes twitched as she put her mouth to him, as if on instinct, or a lack of any more self-control.
"Fuc-" he inhaled, feeling the back of her throat press his tip suddenly. He pressed her head forward, feeling himself falling over the edge of his need. He spilled into her throat, watching her swallow then lick her lips, eyes dilated fully. He couldn't control himself anymore, pulling her up and slamming her into the shower wall.
"Do you want to know what it is to belong to me?" he asked, nipping at the skin of her neck. She nodded violently. She wanted all of it, whatever he would give, whatever it would mean.

Aisha wants justice⦠and revenge. So badly, sheās willing to risk her very soul to get it. So when Aisha summons an ancient Egyptian death god in exchange for revenge, things get seriously twisted and unexpectedly sexy.

this book is finished. Not sure on #2, but you can find her on K****le, under the same name. Don't look for "dark desires" as a book as you'll get 4 or 5 different options/authors.

Underwater: The Silent Luna
It sounded like fate. Like rescue. Like the moment the universe finally chose her.
Even with the suspicion clinging to the proposal, Meadow let herself believe it. She stepped into the marriage blindly, hoping love would fill the quiet spaces of her mute, colourless life.
But the truth comes fast, and cruel.
The Alpha never asked for her. Never wanted her. Luna Amber arranged everything without his consent, driven by selfish motives Meadow couldnāt see until it was too late. What should have been tender and sacred becomes a cage, and Meadow is trapped in a nightmare she canāt wake from.

For the first time, she believes sheās been accepted.

Taming Her Playboy Bully
I Found the Babies
"When..." He growled in my ear, "When we will be getting married, I will be your only king, do you get my point? Only one queen, no misters or mistresses. Just me, just you, and yeah, our babies."
I shivered.
Alyssa Reynolds found herself in a situation, while returning home from work, and she had three choices:
Simply walk away and forget that you ever heard the sound of wailing infants.
Call the police and inform them about the innocent wails.
Follow the sounds of the wails and take the matter in your hands, deciding what to do later.
Being a kindhearted soul and a sucker for babies, she found herself choosing the third option, finding the two little lives.
Two little lives that changed her whole life, her love life included. Her life now revolved around the babies as diapers, vomit and shit seemed to surround her.
Just when she thought that now it's just her and the babies, her whole world flipped over and she found herself living under the same roof as the egotistical, obnoxious and hot-as-hell Terence Powers, the business tycoon who was not going to let the woman fend off for herself and the babies alone.
