Control Cover - online size

Paige Stone lived anything but a normal childhood. Having been raised around an abused women’s shelter operated by her parents, Paige was a constant witness to the tragedy and heartache suffered by women at the hands of the men they trusted. Out of refusal to ever allow that to happen to her,… Paige built walls around her heart at a young age. Those walls were only fortified when tragedy struck on her sixth birthday and took from her the only friend and love she knew. Now at 22 years old, and working as a private investigator, Paige is driven by a deep need for strength, independence and a stubborn refusal to accept help from another person. Surrounding herself with her three best friends, Paige never assumed that the autonomy she had worked so hard to build could be challenged.

That was, until Paige met Daemon Pierce.

Mysterious, strong-willed, and breathtakingly beautiful, Daemon seemed to instantly know Paige better than she knew herself. Paige is disgusted by Daemon’s reputation as a womanizer, but becomes intrigued when she is unable to discover his background. Paige’s curiosity about Daemon proves to be her downfall as she is swept up in his charming and arrogant pursuit to possess her in every possible way.

For the first time in her life, Paige will struggle for control while Daemon slowly dismantles the walls she has built around herself. Only time will tell who will be victorious in their battle of wills as Daemon teaches Paige the weaknesses within herself that she never knew existed. Paige stays one step ahead in her struggle against Daemon’s controlling ways, but when tragedy strikes her life a second time, she has to choose; will she put her life in danger, or will she finally accept a helping hand?

David

 

She didn’t get it right
I mean…the facts were correct
And let’s face it, she perfectly described just how amazing I look; BUT

M.S. Willis didn’t tell you about how, really, I should have been the hero of the Control series. Sure, Paige and the crew did the things they did, but they couldn’t have done them if it wasn’t for yours truly. 

In case you don’t know me, my name is David. Last name? Don’t need one, I’m too fabulous to worry about small details. All you need to know is D-A-V-I-D…me!

So what’s this book about? Pretty much everything you already know, except for one glorious improvement….

It’s all David, all the time.

When I was nineteen years old, I lived for sex, drugs and a good party. I had it all – good looks, a fast car and a hot girlfriend. Nothing in life was more important. 

That was, until I met Ellison James….

Since the moment I first saw her she was a raging bull; tackling me in the mud and throwing out insults as fast as her tongue could form the sound. 

She was snarky 
She was rude 
And she pissed me off like no other woman could.

I lived beside her for a summer and in the three months that I walked by her side…

She opened my eyes
She changed my life
And she made me a better man.

There is a fine line between genius and madness…
Between love and hate,
Between right and wrong.

His wife,
The woman he chose to bear his child.
She was beauty unsurpassed;
And her song was unlike anything he’d ever known.

However, their love was a story that would not find a happy ending.

In this prequel novella to the Estate series, follow Joseph Carmichael as he creates a world unlike any other. Because, in order to comprehend The Estate, you must understand Joseph; but, in order to understand Joseph, you must discover how a man falls from light into the pitch black depths of ultimate darkness.

Weakness.RachelBrownell

I am a Master. 

You must know this fact to understand my story.

I capture women. 

I break them down. 

And I rebuild them. 

If they are lucky, they are sold into the professional hands of another Master. If they are less fortunate, they are buried beneath the ground, never to be thought of again.

I lust for the control, I demand absolute submission and my body yearns to warp the minds of those I train.

Power is the only thing I’ll ever need and I am addicted to the feeling of ultimate control.

I am wealthy, good-looking, educated and charming. 

And I am – in no way – a good man. 

I do not want love. 
I do not want kindness.

She thought she could change me by giving me the two things I knew I never wanted.

She was wrong.

I’m not sure what I was thinking that day. 

It was a normal Thursday, nothing new or exciting had occurred in the morning. 

I’d risen from bed, taken a shower and brushed my teeth. I’d then jumped on the 8:05 bus that ran a short distance between my house and the county library where I worked. 

The ride took its usual 15 minutes before it left me standing fresh faced in front of a building of gothic construction that was my favorite place in the world. 

After straightening my knee length skirt, I pushed open the door that led into the interior of the library.

It was at that moment that my world would change – impossibly and forever. It was a fateful movement of wood that collided with the shoulder of a man that would alter my very existence. 

It wasn’t fear that I felt at that moment – more like the feeling of being watched. It was the feeling of knowing that danger lurks – the sensation of the hair standing on end at the back of your neck.

Looking back on a moment that happened so many months ago, I now realize that I should have listened to that feeling.

As I would later find out, the man standing in front of me referred to himself as Master Lucas…

…and I was his next target.

Next up for Lily White is:  Illusions of Evil.  We have an Exclusive Teaser for you!  This will be her darkest book yet!

Now, 11 years later and I was lying here in a candlelit room, my chest to the ground, my arms spread out at my sides as if I were flying. I couldn’t see because a blindfold covered my eyes and my forehead was pressed so firmly to the floor that no person would question my loyalty. Only I knew that I wasn’t the person I portrayed myself to be.

Hands smooth over my ankles and calves. They reach my knees, pushing the back of my dress up along the sensitive skin on the backs of my thighs. I pull in a deep breath of the frigid air in the room, my body prickling from the chill, the anticipation and the fear that mixes within my veins. Small flames illuminate the large space. Large black candles that somehow steal the very light they give off. Wind whips through the room despite the doors being closed and the stained glass windows not having been designed to be opened.

A crowd has gathered, but they sit silently watching as I become lost to the moment – as I lie still and accepting of the acts soon to be committed against me.

I feel a draft over my bottom and then a thumb trailing along the split in the cheeks. My body shudders at the touch and my teeth clench, causing a sliver of pain to run along my nerves from how tight I hold my jaw.

Knees fall on the floor on either side of me and once again, his hands touch me. His fingers grip around my hips, lifting just that part of me from the floor while I fight to remain in the position I’d held for over an hour.

His voice, deep and calm – hypnotic in the soft accents to his words – suddenly fills the space. It’s loud, but still reminiscent of a whisper when he instructs the gathering to begin their part.

Words roll over their lips, notes softly hummed and rattling in their chests. They watch – and they participate – and they stand behind us with blind eyes opened wide.

He lowers himself over me, his lips touching the rim of my ear when he speaks to me alone, when he walks me through what he will do to make me his wife.

I feel his knees move between mine and I keep my toes pointed out as my legs are spread with his. My forehead presses closer to the floor and my eyes close tightly against the tears that threaten to fall.

I don’t want to do this. I don’t feel honored as I’m supposed to. I’m not worthy of a man like him. I’ll fail – I won’t believe in him – and I’ll be killed as a result of it.

Hands sliding along the my thighs once more, he moves them up over my hips, fingers entwining themselves in the fabric of my panties, slowly pulling – revealing me to his amber eyes.

Closing my eyes tighter, I refuse the urge to push away, to move, to escape.

However, within seconds, the choice would no longer be mine.

The fighting started slowly – growing louder – until one voice rose above the others.

There was a struggle above me and I was suddenly pulled from the floor. My feet barely held my weight when the blindfold was ripped from my head.

Opening my eyes, I saw my brother’s face, his mouth open, the anxiety, anger and fear that rolled behind his eyes. When time finally caught up, I heard one word that woke me from my stupor, a word that made me realize quickly what I had to do.

It was my brother’s voice that screamed that word – a voice that I trusted above all else.

And the last time I would see my brother again was in that final moment …

… when he opened his mouth to tell me to run.
