Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance- Please be advised that this book is NOT YA friendly, not even in a New Adult category!
The scorching tale of one girl, two brothers and a love triangle…that’s not.
Olivia Townsend is nothing special. She’s just a girl working her way through college so she can return home to help her father run his business. She’s determined not to be the second woman in his life to abandon him, even if it means putting her own life on hold. To Olivia, it’s clear what she must do. Plain and simple. Black and white.
But clear becomes complicated when she meets Cash and Nash Davenport. They’re brothers. Twins.
Cash is everything she’s always wanted in a guy. He’s a dangerous, sexy bad boy who wants her in his bed at any cost. He turns her insides to mush and, with just one kiss, makes her forget why he’s no good for her.
Nash is everything she’s ever needed in a guy. He’s successful, responsible and intensely passionate. But he’s taken. Very taken, by none other than Marissa, Liv’s rich, beautiful cousin. That doesn’t stop Olivia from melting every time he looks at her, though. With just one touch, he makes her forget why they can never be together.
Black and white turns to shades of gray when Olivia discovers the boys are hiding something, something that should make her run as far and as fast as she can. But it’s too late to run. Olivia’s already involved. And in love. With both of them.
Both brothers make her heart tremble. Both brothers set her body on fire.
She wants them both.
And they want her.
How will she ever choose between them?

EXCERPTS
Excerpt 1
Damn,
she’s beautiful!
Between this girl’s black hair, her bright
probably-green eyes, her banging little body and the way she seems a tiny bit
shy, I’m wishing we were alone in this room together.
Her smile doesn’t leave her lips as she
runs her hands around my waist, untucking my shirt. When it’s free, she starts to pull it up.
But then she pauses. For a split second, I see her hesitate. She’s trying not to show that she’s unsure of
herself, of what she’s doing.
I stare down into those liquid eyes. I don’t want her to stop. I want to feel her hands on my skin. So I taunt her, hoping to feed the feline
that I’d be willing to bet is buried somewhere down deep.
“Oh, come on. Is that all you got?” I whisper.
Her eyes bore into mine and I hold my
breath, waiting to see which side will win.
In fascination, I watch as the balance of power shifts and the change is
reflected in her eyes. They get a little
brighter, a little feistier. I’ve never
actually seen someone muster
courage. Determination. Something in this girl refuses to give in, to
back down. She’s rising to the
challenge. And it’s hot as hell.
She keeps her eyes on mine as she starts to
pull up my shirt. She leans in closer
and I get a whiff of her perfume. It’s
sweet and a little musky. Sexy. Just like her.
She has to plaster her body to mine and
stretch up on her tiptoes to get my shirt over my head. I can feel her breasts pushing against my
chest. I could make the task easier for
her. But I don’t. I like the feel of her rubbing against
me. There’s no way I’m ruining that.
Once she has my shirt off, she backs up and
looks me over. She’s shy about it. That
much is obvious. It’s like she wants to
look, but she’s a little embarrassed to, which actually makes it more of a turn
on for some reason. I’m sure every other
eye in the room is watching me, watching us,
but hers are the only ones I can feel.
They’re like tongues of fire, licking my skin. They’re searing and tangible. Or at least they feel that way to me.
I take a deep breath and her eyes drop to
my stomach. Then they flicker down a
little further. She stares longer than
she should, but not nearly as long as I want her to. I start to get hard.
Her eyes widen and her lips fall open just
enough for her tongue to sneak out and wet them. I have to grit my teeth to keep from pulling
her to me and kissing that lush little mouth of hers.
Then light pours into the room. It’s just
enough to break the spell.
Excerpt 2
“Stop doing that. Don’t act like there’s nothing going on.”
“I’m not acting. Taryn and I have a
history, but that was before she started working for me. I have few rules, but one is that I don’t get
social with my employees. And now she
works for me. That’s it. Nothing more.”
“But you kissed her. I saw you.”
“No, you saw her kiss me. You saw me
not cause a scene in the middle of the club.”
“Well, you didn’t look like you hated it.”
“But I did.
The whole time, all I could think about was kissing you instead.” He starts to bend his head toward mine.
Blood is roaring in my ears. “But you don’t get social with your
employees,” I remind him quietly.
“I’d make an exception for you.” His face is getting close and closer. Slowly.
A centimeter at a time.
“But it’s your rule.”
“I’ll break it for you,” he whispers.
“No, don’t do that,” I say breathlessly.
“Fine, then you’re fired,” he says just as
his lips meet mine.
They are warm and the pressure is
light. At first. As much as I want to resist, my resolve goes
out the window when I feel his tongue run along the crease of my lips. Without thinking, I part them.
And that’s all it takes.
The taste of Cash is like a perfectly aged
Scotch—rich and delicious. His tongue slides along mine, stroking it, teasing
it, as he uses his grip on my hand to pull me tighter to him. I do the only thing I can. I melt into him.

The Wild Ones
**MATURE CONTENT ADVISORY: May not be suitable for younger readers**
Passion as hot as midnight in the South and love as wild as the horses they tame.
Camille “Cami” Hines is the darling daughter of the South’s champion thoroughbred breeder, Jack Hines. She has a pedigree that rivals some of her father’s best horses. Other than feeling a little suffocated at times, Cami thought she was pretty happy with her boyfriend, her life and her future.
But that was before she met Patrick Henley.
“Trick” blurs the lines between what Cami wants and what is expected of her. He’s considered the “help,” which is forbidden fruit as far as her father is concerned, not to mention that Trick would be fired if he ever laid a hand on her. And Trick needs his job. Desperately. His family depends on him.
The heart wants what the heart wants, though, and Trick and Cami are drawn to each other despite the obstacles. At least the ones they know of.
When Trick stumbles upon a note from his father, it triggers a series of revelations that could ruin what he and Cami have worked so hard to overcome. It turns out there’s more to Trick’s presence at the ranch than either of them knew, secrets that could tear them apart.
