This bitch helped me burn my dress.I really should say she burned that dang thing.I couldn't set it on fire myself. I think it was my subconscious mind or my broken heart that still wanted him to choose me. At any rate, as I kept half heartedly, to her encouragement, I attempted to light my dress on fire. She boldly and excitedly marched right over to me, took the hand-held light, and without any struggle sent fourteen years up in smoke. As I tried to convince myself this is exactly what I wanted, she was right there consoling me. "Miko you did the right thing. You don't want to be with anyone like him. He is a monster!" As I stared at the smoke, my response to her was "Girl, hell-naw...I don't want his ass." Love is the essence of companionship and when hurt, disappointment, and pain are the results of love, it's hard to be you. This book will heal the soul of the reader that reads it from cover to cover. It has been hard to write and even emotional at times. The unexpectedness of life's journey, bears the reason for this story. Sharing my soul in hopes to offer a road map with clarity, strength, and compassion is the ultimate purpose. Cuff and Bound is more than the title. It's the calling of your soul to get up!

He doesn't expect Stormy-a professional he's fond of-to be his savior.

A World Filled with Expectations The media still wants a piece of Ross, while all his friends and family keep their distance. No one wants to hire him, and he's waiting for Lane to realize he's now a nobody. But Lane isn't going anywhere. He has discovered a contentment he didn't anticipate. Together they must find a new path in a world filled with people who want their pound of flesh from a disgraced mayor.

"Be prepared for a hot as hell, emotional and bumpy ride!" ~Sassy Little Book Nerd Between a rock and a hard place… To Sergeant Zeke Hayes, the expression has always been a non-factor. There’s never been a situation he can’t blast, punch, or smart-ass his way out of, which makes him the perfect fit for his Special Forces battalion—and a natural-born Dominant who’s made a lot of submissives happy from Mt. Rainier to Vancouver. That all changes when Rayna Chestain enters his world. From the moment Z snatches Rayna from the lair of a South Asian slave trafficker, his inner grizzly roars to life. But Z isn’t wired to be a one-woman man. Growing up an orphan on the streets of Seattle has taught him that beyond a few hours in a dungeon, trust means disappointment and love leads to agony. Now he’s sheltering Rayna in the remote wilderness from a fiend who now wants his pound of revenge flesh from her. Z’s never done anything more right in his life. But wanting her? Dreaming of her beneath him, surrendering to his passion and domination? It’s the most forbidden fruit he can crave, and the only thing he can’t stop thinking about. The only way out is to confront the reality of what Rayna has done to him and the mountain she’s moved in his intractable heart.
Are you ready to get Cuffed? As a cop, Levi Kincaid is all about discipline and control . . .in the bedroom, and out of it, and he's always been very careful about choosing women who abide by his rules. Hot sex and intense pleasure? No problem. Emotional commitment and forever promises? No way. But he never anticipates falling for a blue eyed angel who makes him want to cuff her to his bed and do dirty, sexy things to her. And that control of his? It doesn't stand a chance against Sarah Robins, the one woman he can't resist . . .
Kayla has had a pretty crappy year. Cheating husband? Check. Getting arrested for trying to drown him? Check. Getting handcuffed by the world's hottest cop? Check. Raising four kids alone? Check. Cheating ex-husband being a complete nuisance? Check. Obviously, it makes sense that she wants to stay as far away from the opposite sex as possible. The only thing she cares about is her family and work...well and maybe keeping her battery supply fully stocked. Of course, staying away from the opposite sex would be a lot easier if a certain Viking looking police officer didn't seem to be everywhere that she is. It would also be a lot easier if he would just stop flirting with her. Doesn't he understand that she's a mess on the best of days? A mess with four kids! What man in his right mind wants a woman who's crazy with a ton of kids? Marc is the type of man who enjoys variety in life...if you know what I mean. But he hasn't been able to get a certain crazy jilted woman out of his mind for the past year. Unfortunately for him, he likes a woman who's a little crazy and Kayla has just the right amount. He knows that the last thing that she probably needs in her life is a man like him. But it's like fate is even trying to help him. She is everywhere these days and he's not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. He's a man who always has a plan. His newest one? To get Kayla to be his. Pretty simple right? Sure, if you don't factor in that she doesn't want a man. And that she has four kids. And that her ex-husband is the biggest piece of trash that he's ever met. And if you don't include meddling family members. Sure, this will be a piece of cake. What could go wrong?
When the man who broke her heart a decade ago becomes a PT’s unruly patient…things are about to get cuffed. Amber Prewitt has a problem.

Now that he's back in town for the near future, Amber and Brody have to dodge their matchmaking parents who are already dreaming of grandbabies. The solution? The pair pretend that they have rekindled their relationship to survive the grueling cuffing season and the Prewitt family holidays. Amber quickly realizes the feelings she thought she had extinguished for Brody slowly start coming back to life, even if there's a countdown until their fake relationship comes to an end. Can Amber and Brody give each other a second chance and survive the cuffing season together instead of apart?
