Ash
Despite everything I've done for my parents, I'll never
be good enough for them. Instead of seeing a man to be proud of, they just see
an embarrassment. I served four tours in Afghanistan but that doesn't mean
anything to them. They only see the ink, the party life, and my short stint in
jail.
And nothing else.
When they were in trouble, I handed over my life savings.
I didn't think twice about it because they're my family, my blood. They raised
me to be my own man and gave me everything I needed. It didn't matter that it
was every penny I had. It didn't matter that the money was set aside for my
future. My dreams.
Because they needed me.
But now they refuse to pay me back until I become the man
they think I should be.
Alessandra
I have an unusual professional.
I escort men, acting as their date to family functions or
work parties. It's my job to act deeply in love with my client. And I always
nail it.
But it's not what you think.
I'm not a prostitute.
I'm not a call girl.
I'm an actress.
Get it right.
There are strict rules when it comes to my profession.
There is no touching, kissing, or anything but hand-holding. Those who choose
not to comply will get a swift kick in the nuts.
But all this goes to hell when Ash walks into my life.

I sighed and
left the bed. “You should go. I need to get ready.”
“For what?”
His voice sounded raspy because we hadn’t spoken in so long.
I cringed
because I didn’t want to say it. “I’m seeing Brad.” Guilt flushed through me.
Was I really the kind of girl that went on a date right after I slept with
someone? It grossed me out.
Ash’s eyes
immediately darkened and he looked pissed. A fire erupted in his eyes, but the
flames were black. “So, you’re just going to run off and have dinner with this
chump?”
I didn’t want
to fight so I kept my mouth shut.
He gripped me
by the wrist and yanked me back into bed. “Call it off.”
“Call it
off?” I asked incredulously. “I’m supposed to meet him in a little over an
hour.”
“Tell him
you’re sick.” He squeezed my wrist.
“I’m not
bailing on him.”
“Just do it,”
he ordered.
“And why
should I?” I grew heated, all the anger coming back. “Give me one good reason,
Ash.”
He held my
gaze without blinking. “Me.”
“You?” I
couldn’t keep the venom out of my voice. “What about you? I should ditch a nice
guy so I can keep being your fuck buddy? What’s the point in that?”
“It’s pretty
damn clear you’d rather be with me instead of him.”
His cockiness
was usually endearing but now it was just irritating. “You’re such an ass.” I
yanked my arm out of his grasp.
He grabbed me
again. “Why go to him when you have me? I make you happy. I give you what you
need. It doesn’t make any sense to go out with him. You really want some lame
lawyer?”
“He’s a very
nice guy.”
“Like you
want a nice guy,” he barked. “You want me. Why else would you have slept with
me for two days?”
I didn’t
answer his question. “I’m not going to keep doing this, Ash. I need something
more than a fuck buddy. I’m looking for a relationship, a long lasting one.
This was fun while it lasted but it’s over. Let’s just walk away and move on.”

raised in sunny California where she still lives today, claiming it’s the best
place in the country. Easily hypothermic and hateful of the cold, she prefers
to be warm all year round. She attended California State University, Stanislaus
and received her bachelor’s degree in biological sciences, but still pursued
her dream to be a writer. She’s written several novels and many series’, and
her imagination can’t seem to stop. She tries to find the good in people and
she exploits that in her writing, proving that people can make mistakes and
rise above their past.
Her hobbies include sunbathing, swimming, eating at Surf
Taco in San Diego, reading, and learning everything she can about
hippopotamuses’, her favorite creature. Her greatest dream is to make people
forget about the harshness of reality and dive into a good story with lovable
people. When fans tell her they love her work, it gives her the greatest sense
of accomplishment.
