Push

This is Alabaster Penitentiary? Where they send you when the world thinks you're dead. And trust me, you'll wish you were. We're the stain on society. The freaks, the creeps, your favorite Netflix documentaries come to life. They lock us up and throw away the key, because we deserve it. But not me. I'm just a lowly bank robber. I don't belong here, surrounded by psychopaths and killers with no remorse? At least, I don't think I do.Getting by unscathed is my top priority. Unfortunately for me and my fellow prisoners, those in charge are more dangerous than we are. You see, the guards run the show, and I seem to have caught the attention of the most twisted one. He has a name, but it might as well be Officer. We move around one another like a sun and a moon, revolving in an axis of confused lust and torment until the truth is distorted, and the thing I once feared becomes that which I crave; my vile addiction, somehow so exquisite. Reality warps in the dungeon, and I'm left wondering which prison is worse? the one holding my body, or my mind.

We follow him willingly, worshipping the Earth as intended. While his brother lurks in the shadows...But who is this King I can't stop watching, so captivating and beautiful? And who is the man with the snake eyes?I must know more about them both? I must peek beneath the cover. Unearthing the truth brings me between a King and a Serpent, and the lust we share isn't the only unexpected gift. What is a young servant to do but follow his path? I will seek answers in the woods of the mountain... Where existence is not what it seems.

A Twisted Tales Novel

Serpent in White

In the interest of full-disclosure, Midnight City started out as my odd variation of The Walking Dead fanfiction. I know... It sounds weird, right? But I will assure you that this story has nothing to do with finding love in the zombie apocalypse. It's actually based on the lives of actors outside of the fictional characters they play on TV. I had a strange obsession with TWD's Andrew Lincoln, and came up with a story based loosely on the idea of a person like him - famous, gorgeous, and technically unavailable - meeting a regular, albeit beautiful girl, and falling in love. It goes without saying that this is completely fictional, as are all of the events which occur in Midnight City and its sequels. But being the imaginatarian that I am, I fabricated this story in my mind, and it promptly spun its way into a lengthy tale of romance, sex, exploring the taboo of infidelity, and peeking behind the curtain of Hollywood. Add to that the drama surrounding our female lead's marriage to a US Army Sergeant, conspiracy to cover up crimes, danger and blackmail, and you've got Midnight City! On the outside, Tessa Woodrow is your ordinary, beautiful, professional working young woman in New York City. She has a great job, a killer apartment in the trendy part of Brooklyn, and a wardrobe that would make just about any twenty-seven-year-old female jealous. Unfortunately, Tessa also has secrets, and hers happen to be much more complicated than she would ever let on to the outside observer. Andrew James, on the other hand, has very few secrets. After all, it's hard to have them when you're a world-famous actor. When he's not busy starring in the smash-hit TV series, Hell Storm, Andrew spends his time in London with his wife and kids, or gallivanting around New York City with his best friend and costar, Noah Richards. It seems as if Andrew and Tessa are the last two people the universe would ever bring together. But clearly the universe has other plans... Midnight City, like any other books of mine that you happen upon, is not intended for the faint of heart. That's a nice way of saying there is a metric-ton of explicit language and sexual content in this work of fiction. It is an erotic novel, and while the relationships, drama, and comedy are what makes it a fun, light-hearted story, the sex is very much present, and it is certainly steamy, to say the least. If you don't like the graphic parts of love stories, then this book may not be for you. But I promise if the romance genre is your thing, then you will absolutely love this book!

Midnight City

Kyran Harbor is everything I'm not. Rich. Popular. A superstar football player who's awfully broody for someone who has it all. Basically, he's a preppy jock who hates me. Oh, and he's also my stepbrother. That's right. We're stuck together, sharing a school, a house? A bathroom. Honestly, I wouldn't care? If he wasn't such an uptight control-freak who messes with me just because we're different. I had every intention of avoiding him when we got to college? Until abrupt misfortune forces us both into a compromising position. Now the grouchy jerk I was hoping to evade might be the only person who can help me out of it. Avi Vega is everything I despise. A dreamer. A flake. An artist who smokes too much weed and thinks aliens exist. And by some sick cosmic joke, he's now my stepbrother, following me on what should've been my escape plan. It was already a disaster. Add a sudden financial disruption to the mix, and let's just say my options are heavily limited. If I want to stay an all-star quarterback on the way to the NFL, I'll need to do something drastic. Unfortunately for me, and my desperate desire for control, the perpetually smiling stoner has a plan. Maybe we can stop hating each other just enough to pull this off. As long as we remember we're only doing it? for the fans. **For The Fans is a full-length standalone MM forbidden romance with an HEA.

Seek Me

From the world of Push and Pull comes a new unexpected forbidden romance…

My name is Tate Eckhart, and I love my life.
I have a great job, a sick wardrobe. I drive a fancy car and sip scotch old enough to be my Daddy.
I’m fine with being known as the bad guy, the troublemaker, and the unattached harlot out of all my friends. Hey, if the Burberry loafer fits, right?
Money, control… Lust, no strings attached. It’s how I’ve been living since that one night, back in college… When I stepped over a line with one of my closest friends, only to discover the truth.
Love is for suckers.
Who cares if he’s abnormally beautiful and built like a Norse god? He ran out of my life after an incident that was very ungodly.
But that’s all in the past… Or at least, it was.
Bumping into each other in the most unexpected of places has to be a coincidence; a humorous joke from the big guy upstairs. Because my old pal is now a pastor. And he’s married… to a woman.
Doesn’t matter. I don’t have time for relationships, feelings, or thinking about what could have been…
But when we’re alone, it seems like neither of us can practice what we preach. And what we do in secret feels damningly good.
Keeping it going is asking for trouble…
But I suppose if I’m already on my knees, I might as well beg for forgiveness.


**Trouble is a second chance MM romance. It is a spin-off from the world of Push/Pull, and can be read and fully enjoyed on its own. CW's can be found on the author's website.**
