Arcadia (Ashenden)

A billionaire, age-gap romance.... Caleb I'm a man without limits, except one: my best friend's daughter, Isabel. She's a tempting little brat, but she's definitely off limits. She's too young and far too innocent, and I'm not the right kind of man for that. My tastes run toward the dark side. When she shows up at my sex club spoiling for a fight, I'm tempted to give her one ... and a punishment she won't soon forget. I'm sure that I can scare her away, but when I tell her to call me daddy, she doesn't run. She obeys. Isabel I've had a crush on my dad's best friend for years, but who knew he wasn't just hot? He's also kinky, and he makes me want to do very bad things. He makes me call him daddy, and I want him to take of me, and corrupt me in a hundred different ways. But when I start to want more than sex, Caleb is clear: he'll take care of me, give me boundaries, make me his little girl, but he'll never fall in love. Unless I can change him. Warning: this book contains explicit scenes and language Jackie has been writing fiction since she was eleven years old. Mild mannered fantasy/SF/pseudo-literary writer by day, obsessive romance writer by night, she used to balance her writing with the more serious job of librarianship until a chance meeting with another romance writer prompted her to throw off the shackles of her day job and devote herself to the true love of her heart – writing romance. She particularly likes to write dark, emotional stories with alpha heroes who've just got the world to their liking only to have it blown wide apart by their kick-ass heroines. She lives in Auckland, New Zealand with her husband, the inimitable Dr Jax and two kids. When she's not torturing alpha males and their gutsy heroines, she can be found drinking chocolate martinis, reading anything she can lay her hands on, wasting time on social media, or being forced to go mountain biking with her husband.

A billionaire, age-gap romance. Rowan I'm getting desperate. I need money to look after my sick mom, so when I get an out of the blue cash offer from the grandmother I've never met to be her surrogate, I can't afford to say no. And then I find out who the man supplying the DNA is: Atlas Blackwood, my ex-stepfather. Oh and I'll need to marry him too. This wouldn't be a problem if he wasn't the hottest man I've ever met. He was all those years ago when he married Mom and I had a crush on him a mile wide, but he's even hotter now. It's forbidden to want him, except I see the fire in his eyes when he looks at me and I can't help thinking: would it be wrong to get pregnant the old fashioned way? Atlas I'm a jaded playboy. I've seen everything, done everything, so helping out a friend by supplying my DNA for a crazy baby-making scheme is no big deal. Until I find out who the surrogate is: Rowan James, my ex-stepdaughter and she's not a kid anymore. She's all grown up, an adult, and not only do I have to supply my DNA, I have to give her a wedding ring too. Again, not a problem, except she keeps looking at me like she wants something and I know what she wants: me. I know what I want too: to own her. If she'll let me.

Welcome to Arcadia…where every dark fantasy can be yours. For a price. Zara It was supposed to be simple: auction off my virginity to Tennyson Fox, get into his house, and find evidence of a murder he committed years ago. He bids on virgins but doesn't use them - at least that's what the Hamiltons told me when I agreed to the job. But what I didn't count on was my body's reaction to him or that when he makes me his, I want it to be real. When he teaches me about submission, I want to give him everything. His whips and restraints make me feel more cared for than anything else ever has. Yet I'm lying to him. And once he finds out I'm afraid he'll send me away forever. Tennyson Everything went up in smoke the moment I saw her. I've worked hard to rise above my dark past - I started a successful business and pulled myself and my daughter up from the gutter. By day I'm a respectable CEO and father. By night, I'm a Dom who wields a firm hand in the club with my subs. I also bid on virgins trying to sell their bodies for money. I don't take them – I save them. Until her. When I see her standing there in the club, offering herself to the highest bidder, one thing is clear: she will be mine.
