  Content warnings from the author: This is a slow-to-medium burn novella, with on-page explicit content. Oh, and there’s no third act break up, so don’t expect much angst here, either. Additionally, there are scenes with:  CNC - FMC with another man Oral sexytime - it's an Irene Bahrd trademark, you knew it was coming Butt stuff for both the FMC and MMC Love triangle Boot fucking Almost feet stuff Creepy neighbor (briefly mentioned) Voyeurism/exhibitionism Grocery store sexytime Twelve mentions of "devour" The word "moist" used once The term "snatch juice" used once If you’re drunk, typically enjoy dark romance, but need a good laugh, I have just the book for you... This year's hottest ErotiCom is ForNever Mine. It’s a short AF novella, that starts as an Erotica, but turns into a RomCom, then becomes an Erotica again. It will feel familiar, like your favorite sitcom, but with smut. This story has everything: Friends with benefits, a love triangle,...

  My pretty little Storm didn’t want a knight in shining armor to save her from captivity. Which was good, because my reputation wasn’t built on being prince-like to damsels in distress. No, it was built on being a psychotic menace who often played surgeon with my targets before I eliminated them. That was precisely what I did to the men who harmed Olivia Everett before I saved her from the Velvet Cage. I stalked them. I hunted them. And then I delivered their missing pieces to her on a silver platter. Piece by piece, I healed her brokenness with those souvenirs. But I had to do it quickly. Because Olivia was keeping a secret when I found her that night. The leader of the Velvet Cage took more than just her freedom from her. He took away her consent. And the consequences were growing in her belly. But as my pretty little Storm recovered in my dark penthouse, I made a vow to her. I’d spend the rest of my days protecting her. Keeping her. Loving her,  and  her baby. However...

I’m determined to raise my baby on my own, but then he waltzes into my classroom to drop off his son. Blake Walker. The newly retired linebacker and single dad is even more gorgeous now than the night we spent together, and since he knows I’m pregnant with his baby, he’s adamant to do right by us.
