DESIREE’S REVENGE: A Romance by K.C. Carson

About DESIREE’S REVENGE: A Romance by K.C. Carson:

A riveting tale of revenge, survival and redemption, wrapped around an unlikely love story and set against an urban backdrop corrupted by violence against women and racism.

Following a racially motivated rape by three Ku Klux Klansmen, 12-year-old Desiree Devine vows revenge. After eight years of training, now a strikingly beautiful assassin, she accomplishes her mission.

Her campaign continues with solitary walks through dark city streets, hoping to be assaulted by men with bad intentions. Those entrapped by her spider’s web pay dearly for their efforts.
Surrounded by three white men one night, she’s rescued by Tony Marino, an Italian-American passerby. A stormy up-and-down relationship ensues. Ultimately, as her rage matures into purposeful action, and as he begins to see the world through her eyes, they become a team.

Along the way, they encounter serial killers, wife-beaters, actual and would-be rapists, gangsters, crooked cops, a kidnapper and a pedophile priest, as well as numerous women in desperate need of their help. Beneath all the action, though, is the blossoming of a most unusual love story.

Grumpy Billionaire Boss Daddy by Harley Rose

I know I should have figured out that my former best friend’s dad was going to be my new boss.

He is a complete jerk with unrealistic expectations of how working this job should be.

He called me into his office, and I was pretty sure I was about to get fired.
But what came next surprised me.

He kissed me with a passion I did not expect from this man, and with desperation, I kissed him back.
It didn’t stop there. I knew this was stupid, and something I shouldn’t be doing, but I couldn’t get enough.
He was a man I hated and was supposed to stay away from.
Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse…

A plus sign on a pregnancy test changed everything.
