About the Author
Ever grateful to my husband and kids for their loving patience with my writing passion, I self published my first novel, What goes around comes around, in June 2013. The sequel and concluding part of Lily's story - Full Circle - was released in January 2014.
Very much a new girl to the world of writing, I was inspired by the authors I love so much, and appreciate the support from bloggers and other indie authors that made me believe I could write a story people might want to read.
I am also writing a teen fiction series for my kids - I'm not sure they're quite ready for Lily.
I hope you enjoy them. X

When two best friends, Sophia Riley and Natasha Watts, get together, it means nothing but trouble. On a girls night out, Sophia's mouth gets them into trouble once again. This time, it involves hunky millionaire Matthew Faulkner.
The girls get themselves into some financial trouble and the only way for them to remain solvent is to work for Matthew. Hunky Matthew is the most sort after womanizing bachelor in town. His relationships are all based upon agreements, contractual agreements. *wink wink* Matthew has mommy issues and this leads him to foster the need for control over everything and everyone. He's also a very private individual and knows how to sniff out a gold digger. As much as it's annoying, his alpha male persona is invigorating and sexy as hell!
Matthew and the girls, have an agreement for six months. They become his escorts for the duration of the contract and he provides for their every need. All under a confidentiality clause, of course. When Matthew first saw Natasha, their first meeting was fierce and wordy. Matthew's dominance stood out to Natasha and there was definitely something that drew then both to each other. He was dangerous and she was the one woman that didn't want him. Talk about a match made in heaven... or maybe hell.
While Matthew is cool and calm around Sophia, he is anything but subdued when it comes to Natasha, This fiercely independent woman, gets his blood boiling and yet all he wants to do is devour those luscious lips of hers. The woman is infuriating. She's defiant and stubborn. Everything Matthew is drawn to. His collected demeanor evaporates around Natasha.
As their contractual days continue on, Matthew and Natasha's attraction becomes stronger, until their unbridled passion lets loose, turning desire into physical and emotional turmoil. As their time spent together becomes more than duty; jealousy, position and insecurities both threaten to tear them apart; for good.
***I loved this story. Alpha male millionaire meets working class, down on her luck Natasha Watts. Fierce and sweet, endearing and so lovable. My only hiccups (2) was that an epilogue was needed. I felt that the ending was abrupt, and without an epilogue, it seemed unfinished. Also, the beginning chapters were slow, and dragged. I struggled to get through the first two chapters, and this is a make or break for any book I believe. Getting past those obstacles. It was a perfect read. Well developed characters, perfect best friend, and enigmatic alpha male. *sigh* I fell in love with Matthew before his part was introduced into the book.***
