Miles took the highway back to the winery, and the drive was faster, but less scenic. When they arrived, he drove past the parking lot and pulled into the little lot, parking next to his truck. "The good news is," he said to Ana, '"No one is here." "Aren't you closed?" "Yes, but I mean no one else - no Jimmy and Brandon, but they're going to see Jack, I...
Tianna's mind was reeling when she set the phone back in its cradle. Her father knew. He knew and he was in on it. He wanted her to stay at Greystone manor with this bunch of psychopaths. She roughly smoothed her still damp hair back from her face, fighting the panic that threatened to rattle her. Dominic didn't dictate to her often and he rarely gave her...
All she could see were his eyes, bright blue, almost shocking in their depth. Those eyes haunted her for months, in her dreams, where there was nothing but sensual sweet kisses and hot sweaty loving and those eyes, staring into her own. Natalie's breath caught in her throat as the bright orbs that were supposedly a part of her imagination bored into her own...
Sitting at his desk at the insurance company he'd worked at for the past four years, Mark could still feel his groin tingle with the explosive residue of what he had put himself through the night before. Even though he was only pushing 30, he couldn't remember the last time he had came twice in one night. Truth be told, Mark proudly bragged to himself that h...
Chapter 6 After the excitement of the attempted break in, Ken's life at the lodge settled into a routine. Ken started each day with morning exercises. After that he would do the landscaping.

The executive jet tipped a wing as it turned over the azure-blue waters and pointed the nose of the aircraft toward the runway at the far end of Grand Cayman Island. The sumptuously appointed interior of the plane had comfortable leather seats which enveloped the passengers as they buckled in for landing at Owen Roberts International Airport. As the A-frame...
The music started and the church congregation all turned to catch there first glimpse of the beautiful bride. This was it, the moment of truth; even at this stage I was still full of doubt. I had only known Grace for just over 11 months. We had met thanks to a friend who was currently my best man, Carl. His now ex-girlfriend was at university with this Asi...
1. A Night Out on the Town It was in early January and we'd just been to a concert at the Davies Symphony Hall, where we sat through some modern compositions I hope I never have to listen to again in my whole life. Afterwards we drove over the hill to North Beach to console ourselves in a less pretentious atmosphere. Since moving to San Francisco and hav...
A minivan. Kelly couldn't believe it when they told her at the counter that she was going to be driving around all weekend in a minivan. Normally she wouldn't have cared, a fact that was painfully obvious by the absolute piece of shit that got her to and from college each day. The car was a heap of random parts, countless minor fixes, mismatched paint jobs a...
"Do not talk with anyone. You can make eye contact and smile. Keep walking around. I know this is awkward and unusual. It's a theatre technique." Selena stepped her right flip flop onto the student stage. It was a blue Hawaiian themed rubber flip flop with a big, white flower in between her first toes.
