DAMIEN
I am Damien Stark. From the outside, I have a perfect life. A billionaire with a beautiful family. But if you could see inside my head, you’d know I’m as f-ed up as a person can be. Now more than ever.
I’m driven, relentless, and successful, but all of that means nothing without my wife and daughters. They’re my entire world, and I failed them. Now I can barely look at them without drowning in an abyss of self-recrimination.
Only one thing keeps me sane—losing myself in my wife’s silken caresses where I can pour all my pain into the one thing I know I can give her. Pleasure.
But the threats against my family are real, and I won’t let anything happen to them ever again. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep them safe—pay any price, embrace any darkness. They are mine.
I am Damien Stark. Do you want to see inside my head? Careful what you wish for.

Wicked Dirty
Excerpt
Don’t miss Lyle’s story, Wicked Dirty, part of this scorching new series of fast-paced, provocative novels centering around the ambitious, wealthy, and powerful men who work in and around the glamorous and exciting world of the Stark International conglomerate … and the sexy and passionate women who bring them to their knees.
/> It seemed like the perfect plan. Let a guy into my bed. Let him touch me. Let him fuck me.
Why not?
I was desperate, after all. And you know what they say about desperate times.
Besides, it’s not as if I was going to fall for one of my clients. I’m not one of those prissy girls who loses her heart at a kind word or a soft touch.
I’m not a woman who falls at all. Not for a man. Not for anybody.
I’ve been screwed far too many times. And if I’m going to get screwed anyway, I might as well get something out of it.
That was what I thought, anyway.
Then he walked in, with his beautiful face and his haunted eyes. Eyes that hinted at secrets at least as painful as my own.
He touched me—and despite all my defenses, I fell.
And now …
Well, now I can only hope that when I hit the ground, I won’t shatter into a million pieces. And that maybe—just maybe—he’ll be there to catch me.
Chapter One
The setting sun cast a warm glow over the Hollywood Hills as nearly naked waitresses glided through the crowd with a rainbow-like array of test tube shots. Or, for the more traditional guests, highball glasses of premium vodka and bourbon.
The liquor flowed, the guests laughed and gossiped, the hottest new band in Los Angeles shook the roof, and entertainment reporters took photographs and videos, all of which they shared on social media.
In other words, the lavish party at Reach, the hip, new rooftop hotspot, was a dead-on perfect publicity event.
