Knox Montgomery My obsession with Emily Campbell started when she was fifteen years old. Her age made her completely off-limits to me. The fact that her father was married to my mother only made it socially frowned upon. That was then. This is now. Emily’s a woman now, and our parents are no longer married. However, there are still complications. Like the fact my mother stole seventy million dollars from me, and her father was complicit in the crime. When the time comes for them to repay that debt, her father offers Emily up on a silver platter. I turned him down because I’m many things, but certainly not a cliché. Instead, I gave him an additional three years to get his affairs in order. He didn’t know it at the time, but that was more for me than for him. Not enough drama? Good, because I’ve got another obsession. His name is Kieran O’Rourke. It started the day the Irishman introduced himself to me, although I’ve never admitted that to anyone. Certainly not him. Nor did I give in right away because that would’ve been too easy. Complications are compounded when Emily believes I betrayed her and her family by taking back what was rightfully mine, which only delays my plans. Being one of the wealthiest men in the world, I have an endless supply of resources, a long list of things to keep me busy, and an abundance of patience. No matter what, I will introduce Emily and Kieran to one another, and when I do, life as we know it will be irrevocably changed. This is my story of obsession, betrayal, and surrender. Some might say I have my work cut out for me. Good thing I enjoy a challenge. This is a standalone novel.

Willow’s return changes things, however, and soon it becomes clear she’s in grave danger. The only way to save her is to embrace the way of the wolf. But can he share her with his pack? Now Thorne must convince Willow that he’s never stopped loving her even as he tells her what’s required to save her life, something he fears will destroy him. And when the danger is over, will Thorne regain his throne only to lose his position as the Alpha of Willow’s heart?

I have a blind date tonight, and I know with 100% certainty that I’m getting lucky. There shouldn’t be any surprises, not for one as jaded as me, but when I walk into the penthouse suite of L’Etoile, everything changes. 1) For one thing, Bea is heartstoppingly gorgeous. Pale green eyes and endless freckles. Curves I want to spend all night exploring, as if her body was made for me. 2) Her innocence makes me want to use my entire inventory of bedroom tricks on her and then invent a few more. 3) Except that… she’s a virgin. I can initiate her into the world of desire without letting her get attached, can’t I? A few hours of tutoring, and at the end of the night a small fortune will be deposited into my bank account. Yes, you read that right. There are many words for what I do. After all, mine is the oldest profession. I’m an escort, which means this date is nothing more than a mutually enjoyable transaction. But once I realize one night with her won’t be enough, I’m the one who’s screwed. “ESCORT is perfection only Skye Warren can deliver—a poetically erotic tale of exquisitely damaged characters, devastating secrets, revenge and redemption.” – Samanthe Beck, USA Today bestselling author
