Everyone finds themselves at a crossroads in
their life.
Caleb
Cross is not your typical front man. His is not the bad boy, partying, love ‘em
and leave ‘em persona, although his public image states otherwise. Being the
lead singer of the popular rock band, Double Cross, there are a lot of things
the fans and the public do not know about Caleb. Sure, he likes to have a
little fun now and again, but after a publicity stunt goes wrong, he is
determined to shed the ultra-bad boy image.
Katherine
"Kat" Summers is not a typical woman. Not a girl who gets star struck
or easily impressed, Kat is content with being herself and who she is. When
Kat's company is hired by Caleb Cross to rebrand him, she finds herself
re-evaluating everything she knows about herself and about her life. Trying to
maintain who she is against what she begins to desire, proves to be difficult
for her.
For Caleb, hiring a new publicist to help reshape his image was the easy part. What he didn’t count on was being reunited with the one girl that made him question everything about himself. He’s forced to confront himself once more, in order to learn what he truly wants, and who he truly is.

Read an excerpt:
“This
one looks good.” Reese was modeling a ring on her finger. “I think she’ll like
it.”
I
glanced over and shook my head, “Not big enough.” I turned my attention back to
the saleswoman. It had only been a week since she left me and she was still not
answering my calls, sending them to voicemail. After leaving about twenty
messages, I decided to stop harassing her. Instead, I put my plan into motion.
I was relieved that I hadn’t heard anything from Camie in a week and partially
relieved that nothing had been leaked to the press about whatever thing she
thought she was going to tell them. I refused to put any more money into her
account and she wasn’t too pleased.
“Earth
to Caleb…” Reese moved her head back and forth attempting to capture my attention.
“Yeah,
what’s up?” I asked.
“How
about this one?” she asked holding up another solitaire. I walked over to her
and in her hand she held a two and half carat, square cut, and platinum set
solitaire, lined with diamonds in the band. A simple, yet very elegant look.
“I
like that one. It’s her, simple and chic.” I turned to the saleswoman. “I’ll
take this one. Add a matching diamond pendant with it.” She simply nodded her
head and took off in back. Reese hugged me.
“What
was that for?” I asked hugging her back.
“Just
because.” She smiled and we broke apart as the attendant returned with my
purchases. I handed her my black Amex and paid. Reese grabbed the bag and we
left the store.
“I
just wish she’d return my calls,” I mumbled as we strolled down Rodeo Dr.
“Give
her some time, Caleb. She’ll come around. What do you have planned for when you
go back?” She asked as she stopped to window shop.
“I
don’t know yet. I figured I had a week or so to figure it out.” Reese nodded
and pulled me into a floral shop. “What are we doing here?”
“You’re
going to send her flowers.” She said matter of fact.
“Yeah,
I don’t think that is a good idea. Won’t that come across cheesy?” I said as
Reese moved around the shop looking at the arrangements.
“Nope.
Give me your credit card.” Demanding little one she was. I handed her my card
and she strolled off to speak with the girl at the counter. I looked at my
phone, checking to see if there was anything response from Kat, anything.
Reese
returned a few moments later. “What’s the good word?” I asked.
“You
have sent a dozen roses every other day for the next two weeks until you
return.” I shook my head.
“Are
you insane? She’s going to kill me, or refuse to talk to me.”
“Or
she won’t. She’ll see your persistence.” Reese walked out of the shop and I
followed.
“Or
she’ll think I’m stalking her. You do remember what she is like right?” Concern
breaking through my voice.
“Calm
down, Caleb. I know what I was doing. Let’s get some lunch.” Her hands were on
her hips, the sun graced her hair, which was now blond with a chunk of black
and a chunk of pink in the front. I nodded and laughed, walking in the
direction of our favorite spot. Reese was a spit fire, always has been. I was
glad to have her on my side.

Author bio:
I grew up in a small, idyllic affluent
town in the Western part of Connecticut, USA. The town definitely did not match
my personality. My high school years were filled with the proverbial teenage
fun, although not too much by me. I stayed close to home and pursued my B.A. in
English Comparative Literature from a local college and then continued on for
my M.A in English Professional Writing. I have always had a love for reading
and literature and only furthered that during my studies. During my M.A.
studies I decided it was time to challenge myself and work in a field that I
have long admired and dreamt off: being a writer.
Having entered the lifestyle a few years ago, I write erotica with a preference toward BDSM themes. I enjoy exploring the emotional connection and emotions behind the D/s relationships and why we like what we like.
Love the cover!
