For three years, I've belonged to Julius King. Some people would think being stuck on a private island is heaven, but this is my hell.  Because I'm not here as a guest. Not even close. I'm a prisoner. I'm his. Julius King. Powerful. Wealthy. Dangerous. There are parts of me he wants that I can't give him. When he looks at me, there are times I swear he sees someone else. And the scary part is that sometimes, when he touches me, I think he may be someone else, too. Though my body might be tempted, and he might control everything else, I can't let him have any piece of my heart. I won't. But every day, the fight gets harder, and Julius manages to slip past my defenses in the most unexpected ways.  I have to find out the truth about Julius King. Even if it destroys me.   This book is approximately 81,000 words  One-click with confidence.

There was one girl Michael knew like no other. Her good side and her wicked. Gabriella ran from her past and her shame. She turned from the part of herself that got the person she loved most into terrible trouble. It's been so long now, it's like that past no longer exists. When Michael sees Gabriella after a decade, the one thing he doesn't expect is that she'd have no idea who he is. But Gabriella always liked to play dirty. So what if he has to use his skills as a Mechanic to tamper with her engine? He'll use every tool in his toolbox to remind her who he is and make sure she never forgets again.

Dog walking was supposed to be Katie’s easy third job. When she answered the ad, she had no idea she’d be working for Clay “The Grinch” Colson—recently retired baseball superstar. He’s every bit as intimidating as the scowl he’s famous for, and Katie believes the rumors she’s heard about how mean he is are true—until she sees him with his overgrown, crazy Boxer, Dixie. Lucky Katie gets completely unexpected, front-row seats to a side of Clay the tabloids never captured. Every. Single. Morning. And the more she’s exposed to his gruff affection, the more she can’t help thinking there’s so much hiding behind that scowl… The more she wonders what she’d have to do to have him call her his good girl. Every morning, the sexiest woman he’s ever seen comes to his house and calls him Daddy. Sure, she’s his dog walker, but that doesn’t mean she has the right to sashay into his world every morning, plant that saucy little gaze on him, and say, “Good morning, Daddy.” Now that’s all he can think about—being her very dirty daddy. *Daddy play. Completely Safe. Always a HEA*
