“Happy birthday.” He pulled Lily into a hug.
“Thanks, are you okay? Do you need me to get you something?” She looked him over.
“Don’t fuss over me. I’m fine. Comes with the job.”
“Okay.” Lily gave him a knowing look.
There was something about the way she looked at him that I couldn’t quite place or even understand.
The night continued with its usual festivities, everyone together exactly how I wanted. Just like the old days.
“You want your birthday present, Kid?”
“What is it?”
I laughed. “It doesn’t matter how many damn times I tell you to just say thank you, it’s never going to happen is it?”
“Highly unlikely, let me see it, big man! Where are we going?” I took her to the middle of the room, nodding to the DJ to turn down the music. Everyone looked at us. Lily only stared at me with a questioning expression.
“The first time I realized I was in love with you, I knew I was in trouble. Not because of your age, or our families, or your brother, or even the boys.
She lowered her eyebrows, confused.
“I knew that I would never be able to let you go, no matter how many times I tried. I soon discovered there was no going back for me. Only moving forward. I could stand here and tell you all the things that I love about you, Kid, each and every one of them, but you know them already. You know them because you know me. You’ve always known me.”
She smiled and it lit up her entire face as she took in the meaning of my words. “What’s this all about?” she nervously asked.
I got down on one knee and her breathing hitched.
“I have had this ring.” I placed it out in front of me. “Since I left San Francisco.”
Her lips parted and her eyes widened. I would never forget the look on her gorgeous face at that moment.
“The morning I realized I was finally coming home to you, I went and bought a ring. It’s taken everything inside me not to ask you to marry me about a hundred times at this point. I have missed so many birthdays. I wanted you to remember this day as one of the happiest of our lives…” I opened the box.
“Oh my God. It’s huge!” she blurted out.
“Lillian Michelle Ryder, my sweet girl, will you put me out of my goddamn misery and be my wife. Will you marry me, Kid?”
She tackled me to the ground. “Of course! Yes! Yes! Yes! I will marry you, Jacob!” she screamed as everyone started clapping.
She kissed all over my face as I picked us back up.
“I love you.”
“I love you, baby.”
Her dad was the first one to come congratulate us, followed by Alex and the boys. Lucas stood back watching me warily, and then he finally approached.
“Congratulations, baby sister.” She smiled as he kissed the top of her head.
He stuck out his hand for me to shake. “I guess this officially makes you my brother,” he stated with a neutral expression.
“Guess so.” I shook it.
He nodded, pulling me toward him into a hug, slapping my back.
“Take care of her, Jacob.”
“Always.”
Lily beamed, I didn’t remember ever seeing her so happy. To know that I was finally the cause of it warmed my heart in ways I never thought possible.
“What the fuck?” Austin chimed in, making us all turn in the direction of his gaze.
Three police officers walked in going right for Dylan. He was sitting down at the table beside us, sipping his beer like nothing was going on.
“Agent McGraw, we hate to have to—”
“Just fucking do it,” he interrupted the officer, standing to look at all of them.
And the rest played in fucking slow motion…
“Dylan McGraw, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?”
The end.
For Jacob and Lily.
It’s only the beginning or is it the end for…
Dylan and Aubrey.

Complicate Me
Lucas and Alex’s Story
(First book in the Good Ol’ Boys Standalone Series)
It was complicated, it was also just the beginning.
A decision.
A simple choice.
There is always that one moment in life where things could have been different. That one moment where you could have chosen a path that would lead you down a certain road.
A different life.
It was easier to pretend that we were still best friends, and that she was my girl and I was her boy.
Pretending was better than knowing the truth...
I. Ruined. Us.
I had her.
I lost her.
I love her.
All I did was complicate us.

VIP (Book I)
The beginning: A point in time or space where something starts.
32-year-old Sebastian Vanwell, a very successful yacht broker, always loved the design and architecture of a luxurious yacht. His only addiction was being on the water. He loved it, he thrived on it, and he needed it in his life. After a very stable, loving childhood with a few bumps, Sebastian married the love of his life: the one person who he knew would always be there. Julia was his rock, and he loved her more than life itself. Sebastian kept his addiction to the water under control, wanting to keep his time with his wife and son his number one obsession. That was, until he saw her.
Ysabelle Telle hit him hard, knocking the wind from his lungs. This new addiction haunted him, the one compulsion that he couldn't control no matter how hard he tried. Coming from world’s apart, beautiful, dark, complicated Ysabelle didn't have the rich, protected background that Sebastian had. She had lived a life of hell, growing up in poverty and horrific living conditions with a drug-addict mother who never cared. Ysabelle now lived for one person, and one person only: herself. She was pure perfection. Her beauty, along with a flawless body, had men lined up and driveling over her- ensuring her success as a VIP.
There are too many words that describe the effects when two diverse worlds like theirs collide. They both have too much to lose to get caught in the forceful pull, which could destroy them both.

The Madam (VIP II)
Some people need love…
I need sex, money, control, and power.
Anyone could have those four things, but only one could have
VIP. Becoming Madam was never a choice for me, it was a mandated order from the most powerful woman I knew- my mother. I was born to fill her shoes, never to make mistakes, or to show weakness.
You are the product of your environment. They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, you learn from what you see, not from what you're told. Nature vs. Nurture. I learned from it all, what I saw, what I didn't see, what I was told, and from reading between the lines.
I was raised with the belief that the world spun ONLY because of me. I held power as far back as I can remember, saw things no one ever talks about, and witnessed illegal acts of sex, drugs, and money by the time I was eighteen.
You saw a glimpse of me in VIP, now see it from the beginning. Enter my world where anything goes, no judgments, no remorse, no guilt. You play by my rules, or you don’t play at all. There are no limits to what I can do, or to what I can show you…I will ensure my legacy by any means necessary.
My name is Lilith Veronica Stone, and I am The Madam.

MVP (VIP III)
Ysabelle
I love you.
Three words that can make or break you.
I thought I needed to find myself. I thought I wasn’t happy. I thought I needed more out of life.
I didn’t.
I’m more lost now than I was when I left. I have no answers, just endless amounts of questions. It was only a matter of time until the truth came to light. I never imagined it would change my entire life and everything I thought to be true.
It was all a game.
Except I wasn’t a player.
I was a pawn.
Sebastian
The end.
Two words that have several meanings. I never thought I’d lose her. But did I ever really have her…
Or did VIP?
Can love conquer all?

Tempting BAD
(VIP Spinoff, Standalone)
Brooke
I’ve come from a privileged life and an even more privileged upbringing. My parents taught me right from wrong and everything in between… except I wanted the gray area. I wanted to live life on the edge with the possibility of falling over. I didn’t care about the consequences because I had no heart…
I left that on the floor of my parents’ bedroom door, shattered.
And never went back to pick up the pieces.
Devon
Family first.
I learned the meaning of the word hate.
I learned that life is a battlefield and I stood frontline.
I learned that praying doesn’t work and God doesn’t listen.
And I learned how to be a man…
All at the receiving end of my father’s fists, my mother’s tears, and my sisters screams.
You can’t run away from your past…
It will always find you, especially when you’re asleep.

Have you ever lied? Held secrets? Betrayed someone?
I have.
McKenzie and I were best friends, soul sisters. We shared everything…or so she thought. To everyone I was perfect and happy. No one knew the real me. That was until I saw him. Everything changed the second we laid eyes on each other. The world stopped moving and only we existed in it. But it just added to the secrets and lies, it became too much and I couldn't tell apart what was real and what wasn’t.
This story is for anyone, who has ever lied and lived to regret it…
