The media spread my
face nationwide on every newspaper known to man when the story first
broke. It read- James King. son of wealthy, ambitious hotel owner,
Victoria King, busted for cocaine possession.
Let’s be honest. I’ve always been a rebel, a little rough around the edges. The black sheep of the family. The outcast. No one ever thought twice about me, not even when I was arrested. The only thing was, I didn’t really do it, but I served time for the crime.
Today my freedom was granted to me. I was permitted to leave this prison that I had lived in for the last sixteen months. The guards opened my cell, grinned and told me I could finally go back home. Home? See, it wouldn’t be my home. It would be her home. I had no home of my own anymore. Funny thing about being locked up, was that you lose everything, including yourself. You no longer exist to the outside world. You’re transparent, at least that’s how I felt until I met Emily. She was kind, and in my world people like her were far and few between. I was drawn to her like a magnet. I wanted her, but I’d kill myself trying to get her because she was damaged. I just didn’t know it yet.

My Review
James King. Spoiled rich kid or loyal friend?
After taking the fall for his friend Zach, James is released from prison to find his girlfriend has moved on, his best friend feels no remorse whatsoever for allowing James to do time for Zach's crime.
His mother is a psychotic bitch, that's the only way I can explain the crazy, social climbing, money grubbing witch.
James didn't have the picture perfect childhood, regardless of what the media sees, behind closed doors the picture is completely different.
Upon coming home James meets Emily, his mothers housekeeper and quite possibly his savior.
The developing relationship between James and Emily has it's ups and downs but they both end up being each others shoulder to cry on when they need it most and soon they find themselves connected on a deeper level.
Can the rich boy and the maid have a real, meaningful relationship or will family pressures ruin any chance they have to be happy?
Loved Emily from from the beginning!! While she was struggling with her own demons she still took the time to try to help a man she barely knew. And James, the first encounter with neighborhood watch hooked me, I was in love with him from then on. Great read!!
About me:

It was a story originally written just for fun, but ended up being self-published out of curiosity. Little did she know the series would be strongly embraced by vampire reader’s. Since then this down to earth, California girl has been picked up by Crushing Hearts and Black Butterfly Publishing. She has recently released two short stories and a poetry book that includes work from her youth.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU READ HER BOOKS?
She break hearts, kills bad guys and gives you characters that make you fall in love. This writer will have you turning pages and thirsting for more.
Excerpt
“Excuse me. My name is Mary Riverton. I’m head of the Neighborhood Watch, and I should let you know that whatever you’re selling we don’t need it on this street. There is absolutely no solicitation allowed here.” I tried to cut her off to say that I wasn’t a salesman, but she wouldn’t let me. “Don’t even think about breaking in around here either. I have the police on speed dial, and I’m very close friends with the chief. So, no funny business, understand?”
“You must be new around here.” I crossed my arms and stared at her.
“Pardon me,” She puckered her big, red lips at me, and pulled her dog closer to her chest.
“My name is James King. I’m Victoria’s other son. I just got back into town. I live right here.” I threw my thumb over my shoulder.
“Oh my goodness. I thought you were a crazy hoodlum casing out our street.”
“What would give you that impression, Mary?”
“Well…you just…you look…I thought…Oh never mind.”
I squinted my eyes at her, and rubbed my chin.
“First impressions are rough, right? I almost thought you were propositioning me for sex when you walked over. Silly me. It must have been that low cut top, and those hooker shoes you have on. The red hair alone screams escort to be honest.”
