I wanted a beautiful backyard for my new home and my neighbors suggested I look into Ward Landscaping & Design.
The owner had no pictures of himself on his website, just a portfolio of nice outdoor sitting areas, pools, and vibrant gardens that I’d always dreamed of having.
Of course I hired him.
I expected to meet an average guy, but Mr. Marcel Ward is far from your average man. He’s handsome, and well-built, and his smile—though a rare trait—is truly infectious.
He’s every woman’s dream—a handsome, older man who doesn’t mind getting down and dirty to create something beautiful all because of his passion for it. Unfortunately, that lucky woman can’t be me.
Although Mr. Ward tests my limits, quickens my breath, and makes my heart skip a beat when he’s around, I’ve promised to devote myself to my husband.

So why am I falling for a man I know I can’t have?

When I was a little girl, Mr. Cane was my whole world.
He was perfect and handsome and the best thing to have ever happened to my family.
As I grew up, those feelings changed. I wanted him in every possible way, and I got what I’d been craving.
Then I learned things about him…dangerous things.

KANDY
I was left broken, my heart beating a little bit harder in order to survive. I'd tried picking up the pieces, but when it came to Cane, it was hard to let go.
The way we touched was special and we promised to never forget one another. I had him right in the palm of my hand--thought everything was perfect--but in the blink of an eye, he was gone, leaving me with no choice but to pretend that what we had never existed.

CANE
She was off-limits to me, but I pushed the boundaries anyway. Now, I was stuck between a rock and a hard place, my career slowly but surely slipping out of my grasp, and ghosts from my past returning to make things much more complicated.
My love life had never meant so much to me until I met Kandy.
After being knocked down and left stranded, any sane man would have stayed far away, but I wasn't sane--not by a long shot.

It was love at first sight when I met Mr. Cane.
He was handsome, broody, tattooed, and rich. For years, he's been mine. He just didn't know it.

I wasn't expecting to fall in love with him, or for him to want me in the ways that he did.
None of it was ever supposed to happen, but after all we've done together, it's too late to turn back now. A once harmless crush had blossomed into so much more.

CANE
When we first met, she was just a kid - my best friend's daughter. A sweet, young girl with a big heart. But now, she's a young woman who knows what she wants, and all she wants is me.

I've tried holding back, pretending the connection meant nothing, but my sweet candy cane made it impossible. If anyone finds out, I'll be ruined. I've worked too hard to lose everything I've built. But there's just something about her that tempts me, making me want to sacrifice just about anything to have her.",[],[329],"Wanting Mr. Cane","bee715b8-b968-4ce1-adc2-6b62ff92c86c",{"_21":295,"_160":296,"_234":42},"Jan 2018","3280-wanting-mr-cane",{"_160":79,"_33":78,"_202":203,"_204":64},314,"January 1, 2018","B0DTWZHKN5","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/3263i/bee715b8-b968-4ce1-adc2-6b62ff92c86c.jpg",{"_160":260,"_33":140,"_183":261,"_208":-5,"_209":-5,"_210":262,"_212":330},[214],"29ed9255-93af-40f9-ae69-764cf268748a","Every Sunday morning it’s just us in a fancy hotel suite.

Dear Chloe Knight,

I know you still think of me. You must because I am constantly thinking about you.
I can't deny what I feel any longer-that you are, without a doubt, the love of my life.
It doesn't matter that I'm married, or that I've heard you've gotten engaged.
I don't care if it costs me everything just to get you back.
I would walk to the ends of the earth for you.
I would kill for you. I would die for you.
I'm coming home, Little Knight and I will make you mine again.
I can't wait to tell you the truth - that I love you. That I need you.
That I can hardly fucking breathe without you.
I will risk it all because I know that you belong to me . . . just as I belong to you.
And this time, nothing is going to stand in my way . . . unless that something is you.",[],[367],"Untainted (Tainted Black, #2)","f07df312-ac5d-4a9a-a53b-deae0df95232",{"_21":365,"_160":366,"_234":76},2016,"Nov 2016","3284-untainted-tainted-black-2",{"_160":201,"_33":80,"_202":203,"_204":64},"November 14, 2016","B01MSLH5TL","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/3267i/f07df312-ac5d-4a9a-a53b-deae0df95232.jpg","Mr. Black Duet","ed216a2d-dd81-45a4-b045-9ae3f3fbfc8d",{"_160":260,"_33":140,"_183":261,"_208":-5,"_209":-5,"_210":262,"_212":368},[214],"9d40d3a4-194d-4401-bafd-155ec008d473","From New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Shanora Williams comes a steamy, forbidden standalone novel about a college woman who helplessly falls for her best friend's father.

Dear Mr. Black,

I know you were hurting. I heard your cries. I wished over and over again that I could make it better, but as you stated I was too inexperienced; too good for someone as bad as you.
Perhaps you were right, but it didn't matter because what I did know was that I loved the way you felt--loved the way you smelled. I loved how hard you got for me, and when you called me your Little Knight.
I can still remember that day in the park, when you held me close and kissed me deep. How you effortlessly made me cry your name on top of sweet smelling grass, making me feel like the only girl in the world. I loved how you looked at me, how you spoke to me.
I had been madly in love with you ever since I was twelve years old, but I shouldn't have been.
Isabelle would have hated it--my best friend. I couldn't afford to lose her. Besides, you two had already lost enough. Losing Mrs. Black was the epitome.

It's Chloe Knight.
I wanted to be there for you no matter what, but Isabelle needed me too.
And she would have hated me if she ever found out I was sleeping with her father.
