***Author's note*** This book is not
recommended for readers under the age of eighteen, due to strong sexual
content, language, child abuse, and drug reference. Also, this is the first
book in a series.
A murderer’s child…A foster child…A troubled
teen…Gabriel ‘The Saint’ Vega has never had an easy life. Being shuffled from
one foster home to another after his father murdered his mother, he found
himself in and out of trouble with the law. Never giving a damn about himself,
let alone anyone else, his life was spiraling out of control; fast. Until one
man and one sport changed everything.
Frankie Carbone taught Saint how to handle his
anger and rejection; by fighting it out in the ring. On his way to stardom,
Saint finds himself pushed into the spotlight and into the arms of more women
than he can ever imagine; he’s completely content with one night stands and
random sex.
Then Salem Harris comes walking into his life
and changes his game plan. Saint finds himself wanting Salem in all the ways
that scare him. She is off limits; taken. But that doesn’t stop Saint from
going after what he wants, and he wants her.
Frankie showed Saint a new way of life with
Boxing, but will Salem give him the one thing he's never known – love? Will
Saint find himself fighting for the one thing he thinks he doesn't deserve or
will Salem end up breaking his heart? Gabriel ‘The Saint’ Vega has had to fight
for every good thing he's gotten in his life.

and completely geek hot in his glasses, Zeke Whitman.
Ezekiel (Zeke) Whitman is driven and focused
when it comes to school. When he's forced to partner with a tall, leggy blonde
with a slight attitude, he's thrown for a loop. With so much at stake, Zeke
can’t afford distractions and Ashley is certainly that. From their first
encounter Zeke sees more than just another gorgeous girl.
As Ashley grapples with leaving the ‘old’ her
behind, she realizes that sometimes changing tunes isn't as easy as it sounds.
Sometimes you have to keep a little of the person that you were, in order to
become the person that you want to be.

as an entertainment insurance agent. It’s not Scarlett’s dream job, but it’s
better than not having a job at all, and who would mind working with famous
people, right?
Then she gets assigned to EA’s newest client,
Kade Evans, rock star turned actor. Not only is he a drug addict, he’s also
known for never dating the same girl twice. He’s tall, dark, and handsome, has

are, the real deception begins.

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?

My boyfriend is an asshole.
A pure, one of a kind,
I-wish-I-was-making-this-up asshole.
Every year, I write "Dump his ass" as
my most important resolution, but I've never done it.
Until now.

wherever the next flight is bound. Determined to keep and fulfill all of my
resolutions, I'm proud of myself for finally striking out on my own.
Until I never make it to my final destination.
Until the sexy stranger who sat next to me on the plane changes everything.
Until my "last resolution" is fulfilled a lot earlier than I
thought...

5 *NEW* Random Things You Don’t Know About Me!
1.
I have recently retired my love for Diet Coke
and focused solely on Diet Pepsi. And yes, I know all about aspartame, and all
that bad stuff. But, it’s delicious.
2.
I would someday love to write a book that Tim
Burton wants to make into a movie!
3.
I have an unfailing love for many movies I
watched growing up (not just Disney) and it is very difficult for me to like
anything new. Some of my favorites set the bar too high apparently! (When Harry
Met Sally, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Father of the Bride Part I & II, &
many more!)
4.
I have a horrible wonderful addiction
to book covers!
5.
I have more story ideas in my head than I will
ever be able to write.
Mary A Wasowski
To write my first book
was an accomplishment I never thought would be realized. Dreaming of it and actually doing it are two
very different things.
Writing has changed my
entire life. It brings happiness and fulfilment to areas in my life that I
didn’t even know were missing. It’s also one of the hardest jobs that I have
ever done. It takes me away from my family, friends, and the little day to day
tasks that once upon a time seemed normal. Now I have a writing cave. What the
heck is that? Well it’s my second home where I write my heart out and hopefully
produce something that will make many people smile.
Chasing the
dream...one book at a time!
