Synopsis
Mia Lee has a secret… 

A secret she’s kept hidden since she was eight years old, however, Mia will no longer allow that secret to define her. 

An irrevocable decision has left Mia Lee a fugitive and on the run—a circumstance that should leave her weak and scared, yet Mia has never felt so alive.

Under the pseudonym of Paige Cassidy, Mia is ready to live the life she’s never had, and she’s determined not to allow her tainted past dictate her promising future. 

Paige is on a Greyhound bus heading from L.A. to South Boston, Virginia, to start a new life. A life that includes finding her mother, who abandoned her at age three. But what she finds, is four people, who will change her life forever.

Yet no one can outrun their past…

Especially one filled with bitter memories, which refuse to remain hidden. 


Excerpt
It feels effortless. And it feels right.

We stay hugging for a few moments, and as I nestle closer to his chest, surrounded by his smell, I know that I’m in trouble. I have feelings for someone who is going to be really, really hard to say goodbye to when the time comes. But when did this happen? When was the exact moment my world got tipped on its axis, and shaken up beyond repair?

I should have stopped it, but who am I to stand in the way of something that was inevitable?

The sound of Quinn’s heart beating steadily against my ear is comforting, and if I close my eyes really tight, I can pretend that I’m just a normal girl, being wrapped up in the arms of her normal…boyfriend?  But make believe is for dreamers, and I’m a realist. I will enjoy the here and now because I don’t know what tomorrow holds.

What happens, though, when being an escort in Sin City isn’t the only problem to worry about when starting a new relationship?

Someone from Troy’s past is back. Carla was the love of his life, his ex-fiancΓ©, and the woman who committed what most consider an unforgivable sin. A sin that forced him to believe he’d never love or trust another woman again.

With Carla doing her best to convince Troy that she’s changed, and showing up to his house with talks of friendship, Emilie is left to wonder if her and Troy’s connection is strong enough to withstand the return of his past.

Is Carla truly back to heal old wounds, and get closure on their relationship? Or is she back to do whatever’s necessary to be the only woman in Troy’s life?

Excerpt #1
“You’ve been teasing me all night. I think it’s time to return the favor.”
      Once I’ve put the condom on, I get on my knees in between her legs, and slowly let the tip of my dick slide through the lips of her pussy. I rub myself over her clit and back down towards her entrance. I push the head of my cock in just a fraction, eliciting a moan from her throat, and pull back out.
      “Troy!” she grunts in frustration.
      She reaches forward, trying to pull me into her.
      “No,” I growl, pulling away completely. “You don’t get to touch me now. It’s my turn to touch you.”
      She doesn’t argue, she just lies back down and watches me as I put my face in between her thighs. I slowly kiss around her pussy, letting my tongue graze across her skin gently. She moans and tries shifting herself to my mouth which makes me kiss down her inner thigh instead.
      I look up and see that her eyes are squeezed closed, and her hands are gripping the sides of the couch. My tongue moves across her skin leisurely until reaching her wet center. When my tongue touches her pussy, her hands go to my head.  
      She cries out in satisfaction. “Oh, yes! Yes! Please don’t stop.”
      I eat her pussy like it’s the last time I’ll ever have her on my tongue. I suck her clit into my mouth, and then dip my tongue into her entrance. I taste how wet she is for me, and my dick throbs, wanting to be deep inside of her. 

Excerpt #2
She’s not okay with you having friends?” She wipes the tears from her cheeks.
      “Don’t be ridiculous. I can have friends, but you and I have a history, and she wouldn’t be okay with us hanging out.”
      She looks down at her hands again. “So there’s no way for us to be in each other’s lives? Not as a couple and not even as friends?” Carla looks back up at me, tears brimming in her eyes. “I can accept us never being a couple again, Troy. I know I messed up, and I’ll live with that mistake for the rest of my life. I just need a friend. You’re all I have, and just knowing that I have you to talk to from time to time is all I want. I don’t want to cause problems in your life; I just want the chance to be in it in some small way.” She pauses and takes a breath. “I know you don’t want to hear this, Troy, but I still love you. You will always have a piece of my heart, and I’ll always know you were the one who got away.”
      As I stand there in shock at her declaration of love for me, she stands up with her purse and moves past me, moving towards the front door. When she reaches it, she pauses again before looking over her shoulder at me.
      “Bye, Troy,” she says softly as a tear trickles down her face. 


Purchase Living in Sin - Book one of The Escort Series


Synopsis
Jace Jamison is every woman’s fantasy. He’s a mysterious businessman willing to sweep you off your feet, a tattooed bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks, and a sexy friend you want to take that next step with. Jace is everything and anything you want him to be. He’s a highly paid escort. 

But nobody knows who Jace really is; the man whose dad abandoned him, whose brother was killed, and who had to take care of his mom at a young age. At the age of nineteen, he was living in Sin City, ready for a life away from stress and struggle. 

Adrienne has been having a sexual drought since she broke up with her boyfriend. Even then she wasn’t getting fully satisfied. Being an event planner, she’s constantly working at numerous events. Several times she’s seen a man she can only refer to as the God-like creature at her work functions. He’s devastatingly handsome, tall, and has beautiful eyes, but he’s always with a different woman. The last thing she needs is another player in her life. 

After a few chance encounters with Jace, her best friend convinces her to just get some good sex out of him and not worry about who she’s seen him with. But what happens when she finds out that he isn’t dating these women because he wants to, but because he’s paid to? 

Keeping his job a secret from Adrienne seems easy at first, but when she begins meeting people he knows in his escort life, and they begin getting closer, he knows he has to tell her before someone else does. 

When their worlds entwine, and confessions are made, will they be able to work through it? Will she be able to push aside his sins and focus on the good in him? Will Jace get what he’s never had? A woman who wants him despite what he’s done. Or will living in sin cost him what he never knew he wanted?

“Come over here baby.” I get up and walk over to sit down next to him.

“I wanted to talk to you about tonight. I saw how you were looking at that guy and I also saw the interaction y’all had in the hallway. What did he whisper in your ear?”

At a loss for words, I shake my head. “Nothing.”

“Why do I have the feeling you’re lying to me? I’m going to ask you one more time: what did he said to you?”

I swallow hard, wondering where this is going, “He told me I looked lovely.”

He laughs maniacally. “You’re ‘lovely’? Really, he used the word ‘lovely’? He really is a douche bag. Apparently you liked it because you were completely flushed. Did you like it? Tell me the truth, Elizabeth.” He stood up, hovering over me.

Nervously I said, “No I didn’t like it.  I told him I needed to get back to my boyfriend and...”

“I think you did like it and I don’t appreciate it. You have disrespected me. You were eye-fucking him all night long right in front of me. How do you think that makes me feel?”

I stand up to look at him. I cannot believe what he is saying to me.

I am furious. “What the fuck?! I glanced at the band and he was there singing.  It’s not like I singled him out.”

“Don’t ever cuss at me again! You can’t talk to me that way.”

All I can do is shake my head in disbelief. I can’t believe the things he’s saying to me after we just made love.

“Excuse me?!”

He looks at me like he is about to kill me. Next thing I know I am on the floor holding my face and I can feel hot tears rolling down my cheeks.  I can’t believe it; Reed just hit me.

He looks down at me in disgust. “If you ever do that again it will be worse. And if I ever see that fucker again I will seriously kill him. You’re a whore, you know? I don’t know why I keep you around.”

He grabs his stuff to leave.

They’re working hard to lock up Lila’s past, when Nathan’s comes knocking at the door with a gift—a warning that happiness can, and will, be taken away.

About the Author
K.I. Lynn spent her life in the arts, everything from music to painting and ceramics, then to writing. Characters have always run around in her head, acting out their stories, but it wasn’t until later in life she would put them to pen. It would turn out to be the one thing she was really passionate about.
Since she began posting stories online, she’s garnered acclaim for her diverse stories and hard hitting writing style. Two stories and characters are never the same, her brain moving through different ideas faster than she can write them down as it also plots its quest for world domination…or cheese. Whichever is easier to obtain… Usually it’s cheese.
