    Excerpt 
  Hayley I tap Jill on the shoulder and smile when she looks back at me. “I know you,” I tell her and she narrows her eyes at me, trying to place my face. “I’m Hayley,” I offer. “And this is…” “Dee Acosta!” Kelly yells, cutting me off before I can introduce my apparently famous friend. Both girls jump off their stools and hug Dee, who is smiling so big you’d think they just announced her as the lottery winner. Which I guess in the literary world she pretty much has, since she’s being recognized so easily. “Like I said.” I smile as I watch the three women talk. “I’m just some silly little peon with visions of grandeur, so I hang out with famous people.” “And you,” Jill says, pointing at me, “are Dee’s crazy friend.” “That’s me.” I smile. “We’re having dinner and drinks at the table over there. Why don’t you girls join us?” “Okay,” Jill agrees. “But I have a firm no boys allowed rule.” “Perfect. We’re having a vagina-free-for-all this weekend anyway.” “Unless one of the models wants to sit with us.” Kelly winks and we all nod our head. “So why no boys?” I ask, taking another sip of my wine and signaling our waitress for another. “I caught my boyfriend sleeping with another girl this morning,” Jill tells us causally as if she were advising us of the weather. “Oh no!” Dee gasps, much more horrified than Jill seems to be. “I’m so sorry.” “Eh,” Jill waves her worries away. “He wasn’t much of a catch anyway. I’m just pissed because I made him soup when he said he wasn’t feeling well, and when I went to his apartment I saw him balls deep inside another girl. He didn’t see me,” she rolls her eyes, “so I left and he’s been texting me all day, trying to figure out why I’m not responding.” Dee pats Jill’s shoulder while my mind comes up with the perfect plan, befitting of a cheating bastard. “Do you still have the soup you made him?” I ask, smiling back at Dee and my new friends. “Yeah.” Jill grins back at me, while Dee squeezes my arm with an almost silent squeal. “That’s L.A. Casey!” Dee whispers excitedly in my ear. “Go finger her,” I whisper back. “Then bring her back over here,” I say more loudly. “She can help us with our mission.” Dee nods at me while Jill and Kelly look back at me curiously. *** “More!” I shout over the giggles bouncing off the walls in our hotel room. “More what?” L.A., better known as Lee, asks. “Wine?” “Laxatives.” I pass three more tablets to Kelly for her to smash and put in the ex-douchebag’s chicken soup. “We don’t want to kill him,” Dee warns and I roll my eyes at her. “We’re not gonna kill him. Just give him severe diarrhea,” I declare, sending the girls into another fit of laughter. “One more tablet,” Jill compromises, taking it from Kelly and crushing the last tablet finely before mixing it into the soup. “And… we’re done!” “Before you go, a toast.” I make sure everyone has their wine glasses in hand. “To douchebags everywhere.” “May they forever shit themselves,” Lee adds. “And think of us, the women who destroyed them, as they pray to the porcelain goddess.” We raise our glasses and drink in celebration to our womanhood and overall superiority before we part ways for the night. .     ebooks for charity amazon

Steph

I’ve never been your typical girl. I didn’t grow up in a warm fuzzy family, and emotions weren’t something I needed now. Love has never been something I could wrap my mind around, so why bother? I know what I’m good at. I’m a great friend, have a passion for healing others, and a way with horses. I can be all those things at the same time without ever discussing my own feelings.
Until him.

Lawrence

I’ve always been told I have a way with words. It’s one reason I manage the family business so well. I can wine and dine with the best of them, selling bloodlines and high-priced stallion services over a five-course dinner. I’m able to talk myself into or out of just about anything and anyone.
Until her.

****

Young and carefree, living worlds apart, they indulged in what seemed like the perfect fling.

Until Lawrence decided he wanted more.

Until Steph’s careful world fell apart.

Until they had to decide if love was worth the fight.

Oh good Lord. I didn’t want to get up. My mouth tasted like… something bad. My eyelids were stuck together. I was still wearing my bridesmaid’s dress. And I was warm. Very warm. My brain tried to filter through the night before. The wedding was all it should have been. Full of love. The food had been great, the drinks plentiful. I didn’t think I’d embarrassed myself in any significant way. Hopefully. 
My mind returned to the present. I blinked rapidly to clear my eyes. I could feel my mascara sticking my lashes together. I started to raise my hands to rub my eyes clear, but one was trapped. Tugging harder, I realized it was trapped under a human. Dear. God. I couldn’t look. The bed shifted and dipped, and my brain registered the alarming fact that I felt skin. A lot of skin. Male skin, so that was comforting. I guessed. Maybe.
“Mornin’, sunshine,” drawled out from the form beside me.
I shot upright and yanked my arm back. “Lawrence! What the fuck are you doing here?”
“Wow. You do not look as good this morning as you did last night.” He rolled over and raised himself on his elbows. 
My pink paisley comforter fell away from his naked torso to reveal pecs, abs, manliness, and some ink that I didn’t remember from… before. I swallowed hard as I stared, trying to process his terribly offensive words as well as make out what I was seeing. And also figure out what the hell had happened the night before. 
I live in beautiful Northern Virginia with my incredible husband, two awesome kids, three dogs, and two budgies. My husband and I both grew up riding and competing horses and have our own equestrian operation that we run together. In my spare time, I read through the hundreds of stories awaiting me on my e-reader.
My love of books started early, and my mom used to ration my reading time so I didn’t go through them too quickly. I love all things romantic, whether it’s dark or light or silly or dirty, but I really love a happy ending!
In my small moments of quiet time, you’ll find me sipping on wine and reading while any movie where people randomly burst into song or dance plays in the background.

  Synopsis  
“Anger is like a thorn in the heart...the roar of my courage and the cold sweat of my fear.” ~Luca Pyromania is an impulse control disorder [1] in which individuals repeatedly fail to resist impulses to deliberately start fires, [1] in order to relieve tension or for instant gratification. Damon Luca, or Luca as they called him. I thought of him more as Damien, the fucking devil within these walls that now is my life. Dark, broody, and deadly to any woman. Mind-blowing, soul-shaking, raw sex appeal. He was a tall statured boy with broad shoulders and a pair of green eyes that set my soul on fire. His inky black hair framed his hard, chiseled features. He had the type of body that had no business being on a seventeen-year-old. I knew that once he fully developed, he'd be nothing short of drop-dead gorgeous. As I said...deadly on the eyes...and dangerous for your heart. My name is Allison. I met Luca through an unfortunate event when we were younger. I’m now twenty-four, and this is my story. My fucked up life. It's not a pretty one. Then again, the most interesting ones aren't...are they? This isn't your usual love story. Anything but. There are no blue skies, rainbows, or unicorns. Only him...my own personal arsonist. He had the ability to set my panties on fire, leave my body smoldering, and turn my heart into burning embers. He scared the hell out of me, made me feel. He opened my eyes to the world of twisted love. But love no less. This scary, beautiful man stole my heart from a young, tender age and refused to give it back. Here’s our story… This story is deep, dark, and deals with real scars and growth because of them.
