He’s a determined man, though, used to getting what he wants. Miles won’t give up the chase easily.One story, two men. Who survives may be the real mystery.***As of 3/28/2016, this version has been professionally edited with additional material included*** Excerpt: I want to be clear with you. I’m not playing a game. I’m not pretending or fantasizing. I’ve never been this honest with a woman before. When I say I won’t be nice…it’s closer to the truth to say that I will be cruel. I’m not offering you safety or love; I’m not offering you romance with tender kisses. What I offer most consider sadistic and brutal; the best of what I offer is my respect if you can be what I want, what I demand. less

She belongs with me." TIDES TURN The landscape is changing-past entwines with present, and mysteries unravel. There is only one clear path for both hunter and prey. It comes down to love or hate, as it usually does. SANDS SHIFT She's the growing obsession for two men-Simon Lamb can't quench his desire for her; Miles Vanderson can't sate his thirst. Fragile and fleeing or resilient and resisting-she'll have to make up her mind before the decision is made for her. "One woman, many facets. One sacrifice may be one too many." Excerpt: The others don't understand pain. They don't get what it can be, what it can do. With the lash of a whip, I tear through the memories we five share and the darkest memories I keep to myself. I merge the feel of a new mark with ones I've worn in our past. I amplify the pain with the memories, adding fire to the fever of every sexual encounter, even the most vanilla. It's how we survived, how I thrived. less
