What do a graphic designer, a private detective, a shop owner, and a newly unemployed young women have in common? In these four standalone stories, these capable women fall for powerful alpha men and nothing will ever be the same again. This bundle contains:
 
 
 
A Hundred Pictures of Her
 
Gwen moonlights as a body parts model and only works with the one photographer, James. She isn't going to jeopardize what they have despite her feelings for the man. James stays with his long-time girlfriend. She doesn't want any trouble, so she locks her heart away... until he brings up an art book that he wants her to pose for. Their relationship will never be the same again.
 
 
 
A Hundred Paintings of Her
 
A woman rings the door to Lyla’s Private Detective Agency and hires her. Consequently, Lyla she breaks into Theodore’s home. He is a doctor, a man of considerable prestige and power, a man whom she has never met before. And yet, she finds in his house a room from the ceiling to the floor, drawn and painted in vivid detail with charcoal and pencil sketches, oil and watercolor paintings... of her.
 
 
 
The Specialty Shop
 
Anita inherits a specialty shop that sells items for lovers to be used in the bedroom. Her business is challenged when a bookstore opens other side of the street. His display of children’s book deters people from coming to the store, so she retaliates by putting a sexy doll outside her store. He organizes a bouncy castle fun fair. She organizes an orgy. Two can play this game.
 
 
 
Roommates with an Alpha Werewolf
 
In exchange for room and rent, Alicia agrees to offer everything that she is to an Alpha Werewolf who she had just met. It's a terrible idea. Alpha Werewolves are, in general, terrifying. They're often unreasonable, possessive and obsessive in equal measures and have the strength and power to back up those selfish traits. She should know better. But she does it anyways.
 
 
 
~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~
 
 
 
There's nothing here incriminating in the room for her to find, no sexy lingerie that he puts on when nobody's looking, no camera equipment, no numbers for hookers, not even an extra shirt for him to change into. There's just a singular laptop on the desk with the power plugged in. He doesn't have a laptop and she did not see him bring it in, which means someone has left this laptop in the room for him.
 
Curiosity piqued, she settles into the seat in front of the desk.
 
It's locked from idling too long, but his wife had given her a list of all the passwords that he uses. He is one of those old school sort who writes down all of his passwords in a little booklet that he keeps in the drawer of his desk.
 
It takes a few wrong attempts, but she's lucky the computer does not try to lock her out for too many wrong guesses.
 
"Oh," she gasps when she sees what the man is working on.
 
The document is open, like it's waiting for her, though the image is zoomed in so close that she doesn't understand what she's looking at, at first.
 
When she figures out what she's seeing, her jaw drops open and the chair makes a screeching noise as she backs away from the screen, like the distance would make the image any less perverse.
 
Lyla has seen a lot of things in her line of profession, but she's never seen this before.

    Imagine one day, a group of charismatic strangers stumble into your life. They tell you stories of their travels and adventures, igniting your imagination and feeding your desire to run away. 
    Imagine they invite you to come along. To see a side of life most will never see, to do things most will never do, and to experience life with no limits, no rules and no safety net. 
    Would you go? 
    Beth always dreamed of being popular. Of living a life filled with fun, travel, and adventure. A life without rules or expectations. A life worthy of sharing online. These hopes and aspirations were nothing more than distant dreams until a chance encounter with a young drifter. 
    Beautiful, outgoing, and brimming with confidence, River is everything Beth wishes she could be. She introduces Beth to her tight-knit family of misfits and vagabonds; Zac, the strong, watchful protector; Cash, a charismatic con man always ready with a witty remark; Finn, feral is the word the others used to describe him. His disdain for outsiders is a barrier for most; and Teague, thoughtful and calm with his funny Cajun accent, he is the light against Finn’s darkness. 
    Enthralled by their stories of adventure and travel, when they invite Beth to come along, she jumps at the chance. 
    They show her a world of hidden beauty, petty theft, cheap whiskey and limitless freedom. A world where the next grand adventure is only a train hop away. A world without safety, where darkness roams freely, unrestrained by rules or authorities. When all hell breaks loose, Beth wonders if she made a horrible mistake. Who are these people? Was she really safe with them? Would she be willing to give up her budding online fame for safety?

    Suicides - From their pens to...

    Guy de Maupassant

    Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant was born on August 5th, 1850 near Dieppe in France.  
    Maupassant’s early life was badly torn when at age 11 (his younger brother Hervé was then five) his mother, Laure, a headstrong and independent-minded woman, risked social disgrace in order to obtain a legal separation from her husband. 
    After the separation, Laure kept custody of her two boys. With the father now forcibly absent, Laure became the most influential and important figure in the young boy's life.   
    Maupassant’s education was such that he rebelled against religion and other societal norms but a developing friendship with Gustave Flaubert began to turn his mind towards creativity and writing. 
    After graduation he volunteered for the Franco-Prussian war. With its end he moved to Paris to work as a clerk in the Navy Department.  Gustave Flaubert now took him under his wing.  Acting as a literary guardian to him, he guided the eager Maupassant to debuts in journalism and literature.  For Maupassant these were exciting times and the awakening of his creative talents and ambitions. 
    In 1880 he published what is considered his first great work, ‘Boule de Suif’, (translated as as ‘Dumpling’, ‘Butterball’, ‘Ball of Fat’, or ‘Ball of Lard’) which met with a success that was both instant and overwhelming.  Flaubert at once acknowledged that it was ‘a masterpiece that will endure.’ Maupassant had used his talents and experiences in the war to create something unique.  
    This decade from 1880 to 1891 was to be the most pivotal of his career.  With an audience now made available by the success of ‘Boule de Suif’ Maupassant organised himself to work methodically and relentlessly to produce between two and four volumes of work a year.  The melding of his talents and business sense and the continual hunger of sources for his works made him wealthy. 
    In his later years he developed a desire for solitude, an obsession for self-preservation, and a fear of death as well as a paranoia of persecution caused by the syphilis he had contracted in his youth.  
    On January 2nd, 1892, Maupassant tried to commit suicide by cutting his throat.  Unsuccessful he was committed to the private asylum of Esprit Blanche at Passy, in Paris.  It was here on July 6th, 1893 that Henri René Albert Guy de Maupassant died at the age of only 42.

    Bungay Castle is a gothic novel by Elizabeth Bonhôte. It was first published in 1796 and follows the fortunes of the De Morney family at Bungay Castle in Suffolk. Two young members of the family, Roseline and Edwin, search for the source of strange, unearthly cries and discover a terrifying secret in the castle's bowels which will change their lives forever. The story combines the classic Gothic tropes of mystery, betrayal and a heroine in peril in suitably imposing surroundings and has been praised in modern times for its proto-feminist sensibility. The young women in the story keep their fates in their own hands, rather than wait for some dashing hero to come to the rescue. (Wikipedia)
