Excerpt:

“Hello?”
“Alexandria, this is Jared from Society X. How are you?”
I gasp and look around, hoping like hell the woman beside me couldn’t hear. “Yes, hi. I’m doing good. You?” Grabbing my bottle of water, I hurry off the stair climber to a vacant corner across the room.
“Can’t complain. I’m calling because I have a proposition you might be interested in. You put in your application that you’re open to anything. Is that correct?”
My cheeks burn like fire. “Yeah, I guess so. What exactly is this proposition?”
He clears his throat. “I have a client who has particular tastes, or fetishes if you prefer. His partner can’t make it tonight, and I need to fill that spot.”
Swallowing hard, my heart races. I’m nervous just hearing him talk about it. “What will I have to do?”
“You, absolutely nothing. All you’ll have to do is lie there on your stomach while your partner massages your backside.”
“You mean my back?” I ask.
He clears his throat again. “No, your ass.”
I don’t know what comes over me, but I burst out laughing. “You’re joking, right?”
“No, I’m not.”
I hush up quickly. “I honestly didn’t know that was a thing. It’s an interesting concept.”
“Is it something you’d be interested in? You don’t have to be naked. Your upper body will be covered by a curtain so you can wear a shirt. However, below your waist, you’ll need to wear a thong.”
Keeping a straight face and not laughing is going to be the hardest part of the whole thing. How can someone get off by rubbing someone’s ass? “Sure, put me down. What time do I need to be there?” I say it before even really thinking it through.
“Eight o’clock. I’ll see you then,” Jared says.
“All right.”
We hang up, and I head straight for the gym door. There’s no way I can keep something like that a secret from my friends. Once outside, I call Dani.
“What’s up, girl?”
I rush to my car and hop inside. “You will not believe the phone call I just got.”
“What’s going on?”
I haven’t told her about being a member of Society X yet. “I kind of became a member of Society X.”
“Holy shit,” she squeals. “Seriously? Why didn’t you tell me at work today?”
Sighing, I pull out of the parking lot for home. “Honestly, I didn’t think I’d get a request so fast. My contact called me and said he had a proposition for me. And get this, it’s for the play room. The guy wants to massage my ass.”
Dani’s cackle is so loud I have to hold the phone away from my ear. “That’s priceless. Please tell me you said yes.”
I groan. “Unfortunately. What if I burst out laughing while this dude’s squeezing my butt cheeks?”
Dani’s laughing so hard I’m surprised she can even breathe. “I don’t know what to say. This is too funny. What kind of freak gets off on someone’s ass?”
“Obviously, the man I’m about to give my ass to.” I’m starting to think I made a mistake accepting the proposition. At least, I’ll have a good story to tell later. “Wish me luck.”
“Good luck, chickee. I want all the details.”
On the way home, I glance at myself in the mirror. What the hell am I doing?

Excerpt:

I've easily blown through half a grand today following Brooks around like this, but no opportunity has felt right until now. I watch him disappear into Publix, and squeal with delight as I come up with a plan he won't be able to ignore. I check my makeup in the mirror, and then tell the Uber guy he's free to go before tipping him generously. I'm such a great customer.
I'm careful as I pluck a cart from a stall and enter through the automatic doors, my eyes sweeping the immediate area for any site of him. It rolls smoothly across the floor, the store so quiet I can hear my heart drumming in my ears. I reach up to my lip and wipe the sweat away, pushing the cart faster as I realize I could lose him. When I come to the end and still don't see him, I figure we must have missed each other and decide to turn around. Quickly, I push my way through each aisle, my armpits growing wet with each passing minute.
On the fourth or fifth aisle I've turned down, I slow as I approach an elderly man in a motorized cart—temporarily blocked as a display is taking up the other half of the aisle. My lungs fill with a deep breath, my teeth gritting as I prepare to turn around, but then...
Brooks—my beautiful soon-to-be fiance.
He'd been kneeling on the other side of the display, eyes staring at cans in front of him. Just like a man, taking more than two seconds to decide on some tomatoes. Quietly, I back down the aisle, quickly scanning the neighboring aisles to find what I'm looking for—a middle-aged schmuck who'll take my money.
“You,” I nod to a tall man with a receding hairline, keeping my voice at a whisper. I hand him a hundred bucks. “You can keep it if you follow me around for a few minutes and hit on me, say creepy things, do that whistle shit you guys do.”
His eyes narrow at me as he stretches out the bill in his fingers. “What?”
“There's another where that came from if you just do it and don't ask questions,” I say through my teeth. I pull the other hundred from my purse and show it to him. “I'll hide it under the giant Easter Bunny near the front door on my way out. You have my word.”
He cocks an eyebrow, staring at me for a moment before lifting a shoulder. “Sure, whatever you say, Lady, as long as you don't try to get me arrested. I'll even grab you if you want!”
My nostrils flare. “That won't be necessary.”
He shrugs as I swing my cart back around, but he follows me as ordered. I urge him to back up a bit, so he keeps a fair distance. When I return to the aisle Brooks was on, my heart slows with relief when I see that he's still there, fingers trailing over the noodles this time.
I straighten my dress and walk past Brooks, glancing back to make sure Creep-For-Hire is in tow, but of course he is. He wants that extra money.
“Please leave me alone before I get the manager!” I say over my shoulder, looking back and giving him a wink.
“Mmm,” the guy says. “If the manager is a lady as hot as you, we can make it one of them menage things, whatever they call it.”
“Go away!” I hiss as my cart edges past Brooks.
Brooks's head begins to turn. I pretend I don't see him and keep going, Creep still following.
“Damn, baby, you fine.” Maybe he's enjoying this too much.
“I'm going to call the police!” I say, turning my head to look at Creep, my eyes intentionally connecting with Brooks's.
“Emily!” His eyes widen, the noodle box falling from his hand as he rushes to my side and grabs me by the arm. “Who is this guy?”
“I don't know him,” I shake my head. “I think he's a rapist or something.”
Color drains from the man's face, his jaw slackening. “Rapist!? Lady, you—”
I widen my eyes at him, my fingers waving the money at my side.
“Get lost,” Brooks says, stepping in front of me. “She's not interested.”
The man doesn't look pleased. Doesn't look amused that I've put him in this precarious position. I mouth the word Bunny, and he turns, looking unsure as to whether I'll actually leave it, but likely not wanting to risk any criminal charge.
“What a creep,” Brooks says as the man turns from the aisle.
“I know, right? A woman can't even shop these days.”
He shakes his head. “I only need a few more things. Stay with me.” There's a glimmer in his eyes as he says it, and I want to tell him how I'll always stay with him and never ever leave, but sigh … another day.
After abandoning my cart, I follow my love throughout the store, swinging my hips exaggeratedly as Brooks finishes up his light shopping. Creep occasionally comes into view, and I wink and flash the money every time. When Brooks is done, I grab things a few things for myself that will drive him absolutely crazy: strawberries, chocolate, candles—most importantly one of those miniature “neck massagers” they sell that we all know women are using on their pussies instead.
After I place it in the cart, I see the pulse thumping in Brooks's neck and note the avoidance of eye contact. The gears are turning. Yes!
“I have the worst neck pain lately,” I whisper.
A hoarse clearing of his throat before we reach the check-out. I make sure to bend and twist just right so as to torture him like he deserves. Sweat has prickled on his forehead, still avoiding my gaze before insisting on paying my thirty-two dollar bill. I wander toward the doors as he loads his own stuff onto the belt. Stuff the money under the bunny—Creep immediately rushing to pick it up to continue his shopping with a smile on his face and a skip in his step.
As we enter the parking lot, Brooks asks, “So, you been keeping the gas tank full?”
I smirk at him. “Unfortunately for you, huh?”
He doesn't get the joke. Maybe he's the one who needs to take a class. “You need help loading your stuff in?”
“No, thanks.” I smile. Like I need help with one fucking bag. I turn my body as if I'm about to walk away. “Oh, wait. Dammit.”
“What?”
I sigh, my shoulders sagging. “I totally forgot. I took an Uber here, because I had a couple drinks, but with that creep following me around, I forgot to request another car. Would it be too much trouble for you to take me home?”
“Drinking this early?” He smiles as I nod. A contemplative sound escapes escapes him before he chews his cheek. “Yeah, I guess I could do that.”
When we pull up at my house, he's polite and helps me out of the car, my bag in his hand. Inside, he pulls the items from it and places them on the counter, a damp spot having accumulated in the center of his shirt. I really think this is it, the start of our true journey together. He's going to kiss me, I just know it.
Disappointingly, Lucy trots in, and he immediately bends to her, his hand raking over her fur before he heads to the door.
Oh, my God, he's leaving. Really? What do I have to do to get this man's attention?
I panic. Yank a coupon from my fridge and call out to him, holding it in the air. “Have you ever eaten at this place?”
He turns suddenly, then walks over and looks at it. “No, but I'm sure it's good.”
“Hmm. I might check it out later tonight. After I use my massager for a bit. I'm so tense.” My hand rises to my neck, and I close my eyes. Lick my lips.
When I open them again, he's looking at my mouth—his eyes stuck, pulse racing in his neck.
“Yeah, do that,” he says, except I don't know if he means fuck myself or try the Mexican, but I'm guessing he was talking about the Mexican, because he heads to the door again like a gay man would. “See you later.”

From the bestselling author of The Kissed Series comes the highly anticipated third installment, Sun Kissed by the Billionaire. What would you sacrifice for the one you love?

She’s gone.

Marc stared at the early morning lights as it played across the ceiling above him.

Every morning I wake up, and for a split-second…I don’t remember she left.
I don’t remember the unfounded accusations hurled my way, or how I wanted to rip the divorce papers into infinite pieces like she did to us.
But then I blink, and it all comes rushing back.

Every. Single. Day.
 And night.

My dreams are filled with the raspy sounds of her voice urging me on, the bite of pain as her nails dig desperately into my back, and the way she looks to the heavens in awe as I push her over the edge.

And then…I wake up, and her side of the bed is as cold as my wrecked heart.
Why?

Throwing his legs over the side of the bed Marc dropped his head into his hands, grinding the palms of his hands into his sleep deprived eyes, with only one thought to get him through the day…

I’m not going to stop until I know why she threw us away.

**Every Lizabeth Scott book is a “Cliffhanger FREE Zone!” Inside each story, you will find flawed alpha heroes who like to have their way with strong, quirky, yet endearing heroines who love their wicked ways.

 Excerpt:

Callie stared at the pen her lawyer laid before her.
“Sign here, then initial here, and here.”
With only a few marks on a piece of paper, she’d end the best thing that had ever happened to her. Her eyes dropped to her hands, clasped tightly in her lap. The promises she’d made with the shiny stone on her ring finger taunted her. She’d been so happy the day Marc had asked her to marry him and placed the ring on her finger. Since that day, she’d never once removed the diamond solitaire. Nine months of sheer bliss with the man she loved.
Her eyes began to water as the diamond swam in and out of focus. Hurting Marc was the worst part of it all. But hurting him now, by her own hand, was the only way she knew to protect him.
“Callie,” Rebecca, her lawyer, asked. “Do you have any questions?”
She fought against the dizziness, shook her head and slowly picked up the pen. “No, no questions.” The cool metal felt heavy in her hand, just like the burden she’d been carrying most of her life. She had nobody to blame but herself for ever thinking she could bury her past. She’d been distracted by the brilliance of her love for Marc, and their relationship had moved too fast.
They had fallen in love and were married less than a month after they’d met. He’d come into her life like a whirlwind and made her believe she deserved to be happy. She didn’t. She’d been too weak to walk away when she should have, before things went too far, and now she had to hurt the man she’d grown to love deeply and endlessly. It seemed cruel, but was the exact opposite.
“Callie, are you sure you want to sign those papers?”
No, she didn’t want to sign them, but there was no other way. “I’m sure.”
“I have to ask you again, is that the total amount you want? Marc is worth billions. You could be set for life if you’d ask for your fair share.”
Money. She’d give it all up if it meant she’d get to keep Marc. “I want no more than the amount I stated, including the clause that additional funds are forever non-negotiable.”
Rebecca looked ready to argue the point again. “Callie, you’re not even asking for alimony.”
Callie’s eyes blazed and her voice rose. “I don’t want it, Rebecca. We were only married for nine months. It was a marriage that never should have happened in the first place.” Nine perfect months that she would cherish for the rest of her life. Well, it had been perfect until she’d accused Marc of being unfaithful. Since that day, they’d had so many fights she’d lost count. She leaned forward to sign, but Rebecca stopped her.
“One hundred thousand dollars isn’t going to go very far when you consider maintaining your lifestyle.”
Maintaining her lifestyle. That was a joke. The life she’d lived with Marc had been magical, like a dream come true. She could never replicate that without him. But that wasn’t her lifestyle. Luxury houses, drivers, designer clothes, chefs—those weren’t her. Marc had been all she’d ever wanted. Not things. She’d have no trouble returning to what she knew best. Straightening her back, blinking to focus on the lines, Callie signed her name in the appropriate spots and pushed the papers away. “Are we finished here?”
Rebecca looked like she wanted to argue, then relented. “Yes, but I still wish you’d reconsider.”
Callie shook her head and stared at the papers mocking her on the table. Her last remaining connection with Marc. “Do you have my check?”
Rebecca shuffled through a file and handed over a white envelope. With much more bravery than she actually felt, Callie took the check and stood on unsteady legs. She gave herself a moment for the trembling to settle before turning around. She pulled off her ring and held it out. “Would you see that Marc gets this, please?”
Rebecca paused and Callie braced for another confrontation, but then Rebecca took the ring from her cold fingers. “Yes, of course.”
“Thank you, Rebecca. I’ll send my forwarding address once I’m settled.” But she wouldn’t. It would be better just to disappear.
After shaking hands, Callie walked out of the New York office and never once looked back, because if she did, she would crawl back to Marc and beg him to forgive her. And she loved him too much ever to do that.
