Can one night lead to forever?

Kassidy Monroe has spent far too many nights alone. But could she actually go through with a one-night

stand? No! At least, that’s her answer until her eyes settle on him—tall, dark, and ultra-mysterious

behind a black and platinum mask that makes him even more appealing. It’s lust at first sight, but how

far is she willing to go with a man she’s just met?

Jaxon Prescott has always gone after what he wants. And he wants her—the sexy vixen in the feather

mask. Something about her calls to him, and he’s all too willing to answer. An invitation to his hotel suite

was supposed to be for a night she wouldn’t soon forget, but somehow the tables turn. He never

imagines he’d be the one constantly reliving their time together.

One need. One night. One unforeseen outcome.

Excerpt

“You’re really purdy,” she slurred with a lopsided grin, running her finger down my cheek.

“That’s it. No more drinks for you,” I said, dragging the glass away from her.

“No! I’ve only had three,” she said as she lurched forward, pulling the drink out of my hands.

“I’m enjoying myself. I’ve had a bitch of a week and I deserve to let loose a little.”

I held my hands up. “You’ve actually had four martinis, but anything you want, princess.”

Her eyes grew into little slits. “I’m not your princess,” she slurred, sounding completely adorable.

My cheeks hurt as I smiled. “I’m going to take you home now. I think you need to sleep it off.”

“Last time I checked,” she said before hiccupping, “you’re not my daddy.” A slow smile crept across

her face. She scooted closer and whispered, “Unless that’s your thing.” She tried to wink, but both

eyes closed, one after the other.

I leaned into her space, a breath away from her lips. “It’s not my thing, but I’m happy to act out your

fantasies. But I don’t think you want to cross that line. Once you go there, there’s no going back.” I

stared into her eyes.

“Oooh.” Her eyes grew wide. “Is that supposed to scare me, Mr. DeLuca?”

I didn’t move. “I’m just giving you fair warning. You’ve had a few drinks, and I won’t take advantage

of that. I’m just telling you how it is.”

“You’re full of yourself.” Her warm, sweet breath caressed my lips as she spoke.

All I wanted to do was reach out, pull her face to mine, and kiss her full, beautiful lips. “I’m sure of

myself and confident in my abilities, yes. That’s entirely different than being full of myself.” I licked

my lips, testing her.

Her eyes dropped to my mouth as her lips parted.

“Another?” Lisa interrupted.

“We’re good,” I replied, keeping my eyes pinned to Race and waving Lisa off.

“Pfft,” Lisa scoffed, stomping away.

Race glared in Lisa’s direction. “She wants you,” she whispered.

Was she jealous?

“I don’t want her.”

“She’s a sure thing though.”

I leaned closer, leaving very little space between us. “I never liked easy.”

“All men like easy.” Her body swayed, moving so close our lips almost brushed.

Karen has it all: a handsome husband, beautiful twin daughters, a lovely home and a great job. Karen

and excitement, she falls into the arms of first Raheem and then Tyrell. Out of fear of losing her husband

and breaking up her family, Karen ends the affairs but things don’t turn out how she planned. When

Karen’s dirty secrets are revealed she must fight to keep her family together. Chris is doing all he can to

happiness again? Sexy and relatable, insightful and inspiring, Love and Happiness shows us both sides of

EXCERPT

“If you need me to say it, I’ll say it.”

I held his hands, looked him in his beautiful brown eyes, and said, “I could never cheat on you… You’re the love of my life.”

As soon as I said the words, a dark cloud of guilt washed over me. I felt dirty. My conscience was eating away at me.

When I cheat, I get lost in the excitement. I live in the moment, and I don’t worry about my actions or his feelings. I know it sounds selfish, but with everything that’s wrong with our relationship, I’ve always felt justified doing what I’ve been doing. Right now, I felt like the scum of the earth. Chris looked me deep in the eyes, kissed me, and that warm, loving feeling engulfed me. If only I could have this on a consistent basis.

Excerpt

I stood in the doorway, surveying the bar and trying to pick Ms. True out of the crowd.

A woman peered up from her phone and looked back down.

Whoever she was, she was fucking gorgeous. She sat there with her spine straight, blond hair in a

perfect bun, and a crisp black dress shirt tucked into a gray pencil skirt. Her high cheekbones almost

kissed her deep-green eyes.

I wanted to saunter up to her, ask her for her number, and beg that on our first date she wear the

red stilettos she had on, which made my cock instantly hard.

She glanced up, caught me staring, and waved me over.

Well, hell. Maybe she wanted my number too.

Keep calm and act natural.

Her eyes remained down, concentrating on her phone, as I approached.

“Mr. DeLuca, I presume,” she said, glancing up for a moment, her emerald eyes flickering. “Take a

seat.”

Disappointment flooded me. The beautiful creature in front of me wasn’t calling me over to get my

number. She was my new client.

“Ms. True?” I asked, letting my eyes linger on her legs for a little too long but not caring.

ISBN-10: 1478754338
ISBN-13: 978-1478754336

About The Author

Mr. Fletcher has more than ten years’ experience as a corporate law attorney, an attorney consultant, and an expert legal volunteer for various public and private non-profit organizations throughout the Tri-State area.









About The Book

NO JUDGES, NO LAWYERS, JUST GREAT COMMUNICATIONS...... Although titled Our Marriage Contract and written by a lawyer; I'm happy to say the book has absolutely nothing to do with the court or U.S. legal system. Instead the book actually explains and shows people how their relationship Expectations...Leads to Disappointment....Disappointments Leads to Resentment and Resentment Leads to Failure.

FROM A MALES PERSPECTIVE......In the book, I'm not writing from an expert or lawyer standpoint. Nope! I wrote the book from an average guy standpoint, who after years of darting and trying to figure why during most of my relationships I was either a hero at times or a big fat zero; even when I tried to do the right thing.

I FINALLY CRACKED THE CODE....So I think. After finally coming to grips that as crude as it may sound; relationships are just like any other of life's fragile unions and in order to be successful there needs to be rules both people must follow to make it work. Now, here's the fun part, part of putting my hypothesis or what I called "cracking the code" to the test, not only did I test and try it out on my then fiancée' and now wife but I tested it on many of my friends who are in relationships or at the early stages of one. To my surprise it worked! Seriously! I was kind of shocked because I'm no Dr. Phil or other relationship expert, I was just a guy who figured it had to be an easier way to get what I wanted out of a relationship, and now I had the answer!

Two years later, Our Marriage Contract "the book" was born and published. I am really happy with the final product because I stayed true to the books mission which was to share my personal experiences and explain in under 65 pages how people can have a great relationship, regardless if they've been in a relationship for 6 months or 6 years, all with just a simple piece of paper. In the book I think women will appreciate The Men's Quick Start Guide (page 17) and men in-turn will surely appreciate The Hostile Love Terms (page 32). In the end both people will know how to simply "ask" for what they not only need but want" in their current or next relationship and have fun doing it! Why? Because, I explain step by step how the process of "getting what you want" requires going to out to dinner along with a few other things designed to bring the couple closer in their relationship. Our Marriage Contract is currently listed on Barnes and Noble, Amazon and Kindle.

Here's one of my many Relationship Expectation examples in the book.
Valentine’s Day is coming, so I ask my wife, "Honey what do you want for Valentine's Day"? She candidly replies "nothing ", I then say "are you sure"?, She again says "I'm fine"!. Five days later Valentine Day rolls along and because I didn't get her anything "but " all the ladies in her office are receiving flowers, cards, bears, balloons and flowers...all except my wife. And even when she comes home, there's still no flowers, cards candy etc. Now my wife is extremely disappointed at me but she can't say or show it because remember I did asked her. Instead she's disappointed, now what happens if this continues for years? You guessed it, Expectations leads to Disappointment...Disappointment leads to Resentment...Resentment leads to Failure.... Don't think this can happen, well it does and in the book I explain how to avoid that situation so both people ultimately "get what they want".
