Hugo Xavier, a French playboy hell-bent on possessing Isobel, a gorgeous Greek pauper. Set in Monaco, this is a story about a man who had it all but his past ensures he couldn’t acquire what he yearned the most…and a woman, whose heart wasn’t up for bargaining, no matter the cost. A tug-of war of seduction, of wills, of pride. A whirlwind affair that will change both of their lives forever. This bundle includes three novels: Bartered, Unhinged & Vanquished. BARTERED: A woman could be… Everything. Anything. Nothing. I was a connoisseur of beautiful things, women included. I didn’t just have one, but three—all exotic, stunning and would do anything I asked. My life was grand. It was perfect and I was content with it all, until a little minx came along. The second our eyes clashed, giving me a glimpse of her violet blue depths that had a mixture of stubbornness and will but with a hint of something else… Choices were made. Decisions were done. And for the very first time in my life, I was challenged with something risky, merely igniting the animal in me. UNHINGED: He came into my life in the most unconventional way, turning my world upside down when I least expected it. He was my dark knight amidst the chaos that was my life. His persistence in conquering me tested my resistance, and at one point, I thought I had prevailed. However, the immediate turn of events left me shocked and alone. He left me when I wasn't ready to walk away. For months, I searched for him, stalking the internet for any news of him, hoping that one day I would get to see him again. Nevertheless, he was great at covering his tracks, and I was left resorting to tactics I hadn't considered before. I simply wanted another chance. He had wanted me once. He could want me again, couldn't he? He left a gaping hole in my life, and I knew nothing could ever fix it, except him. I was will-ing to put myself out there for him to relish, criticize, and devour at his will. The heart wants what it wants, and it wanted Hugo Xavier. VANQUISHED: Puzzled by Hugo’s mercurial attitude, the damning bed of flowers and Julien’s warning, Isobel found herself in chilling territory. Stuck between vowing to find the real reason behind it all and fearing for her life, Isobel must summon the courage to fight for the man she loved or lose everything she held precious in her heart.

Two of the stories you are about to read have a grain of truth in them. The Encounter, my first story, is based on some of my family members! My brother was in study to become a Roman Catholic priest, actually two times, once as a young man, then many years later as an older man. Both times he approached ordination and left the church. The next two stories are to give the reader a lighter side of the church and its traditions. Especially the story, 1955 or Confession is Good for the Soul. I am the young boy with the clicker. We actually did attend morning mass like I wrote about. Also, the nuns in their black habits were to me, a small boy, a fearsome sight and not to be on the wrong side of. I really did join the Marine Corps, but I was not the military type. I did this more so to honor the family tradition on my mothers side of the family. I hope you enjoy reading these stories, as I have enjoyed writing them.

My goal was clear-to achieve success in every aspect of my life. It seemed easy enough for a while...until I woke up with a stranger staring at me from my roommate's bed. Grey. The distraction I didn't count on. The wrench that came crashing into my agenda. He's one tall, lean, tattooed bad boy with the natural talent to annoy me. I was determined to ignore him, but there's something about him that lures me in. The more I fight it, the stronger it becomes-the need to be close to him. But I've worked too hard to be where I am today, and I won't let it all be ruined by a guy who is more trouble than not. There's just one problem. Grey has his dark eyes set on someone... ...and that someone is me.

But to do so, he’ll have to contend with a part of himself that’s wrestling for control. A part that isn’t human.
