Reckless Kiss: A Billionaire Possession Novel

by Amelia Wilde

The one thing that obsesses, captivates, and seduces me? Money.

I’m a self-made billionaire, and running my business empire means I’ve got better things to do than bother with women. They can throw themselves at me all they want—I can’t be tempted.

Until my newest executive secretary’s first day on the job.

One glance at her and I forget about spreadsheets and quarterly earnings, because her curves are pure sin. Her mouth is the wickedest distraction I’ve ever seen.

And I swear she’s begging me to f*ck her with those huge, green, innocent eyes.

I’m not just her boss—I’m the CEO of the whole company. I shouldn’t touch her, let alone bend her over my desk and make her moan my name.

And I absolutely can’t possess Vivienne the way I really want to, letting her slake my dark desires.

But I also can’t stay away…

I’m not about to fall for my boss.

Dominic Wilder thinks he can take whatever he wants just because he’s rich and successful…not to mention his chiseled body and intense, dominating glare. Just because he makes me want to climb into his private jet and let him have his way with me right now doesn’t mean I will.

Here’s the thing: I’m not just one of his secretaries…

I’m an undercover FBI agent investigating him, and I’m on the verge of a breakthrough. This mission could make my entire career—there’s no way I’m jeopardizing it for some nice abs and a little whispered dirty talk.

Or even a lot of whispered dirty talk, not to mention his hands all over me, making me feel things I’ve never felt before.

Even one kiss would be too reckless…

Reckless Kiss is a steamy, suspenseful billionaire romance with adult language, no cheating, and a happily ever after that will melt your heart.

HIS RIGHT HAND MAN TURNED OUT TO BE A WOMAN

Constable Christine Johnstone joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police looking for travel, adventure and promotion. But working undercover has put her life in danger, and the best way to protect her is to hide her in plain sight--as a working constable in Dawson City, Yukon.

He's the law in Dawson, and he'll be there upholding it until he retires.

But Chris knows that brains can outdo brawn. What she doesn't know is how to deal with the sizzling attraction between her and Quinn. How can they resist passion when winter is one long, dark, cold night?

The Dear Roz Romantic Comedy Serial

Book 1 The Lover's Workshop
Rozlyn Rook is a successful, relationship columnist who specializes in helping women seduce and land the men of their dreams. She holds two day, intensive matchmaking classes that always fill up and leave the students more confident and in charge of their love lives. The classes are rewarding, both for the participants and her, until Roz learns that her newest student is none other than Sue Peoples, a sarcastic, vicious magazine critic who just happens to be the dumped ex of Roz’s current boyfriend.

Enter Nathan Knight, writer of an advice column for men about women for a rival newspaper. He has read her provocative words, finding them ignorant and arrogant, much like he assumes she would be. When Nathan's friend and boss conspires to have them seated next to each other for his own amusement at a charity event, the fuse gets lit. Roz already has her hands full with a vicious magazine critic who set her career-destroying sights on her. The last thing she needs in her life right now is Nathan bloody Knight.

Roz quickly finds herself one down in the one-upmanship game that Nathan started. That is totally unacceptable to the Queen of the advice column. She is now battling on two fronts and in danger of losing on both. How can she thwart a critic hell-bent on her destruction while dealing with a vile, irritating, conceited, incredibly annoying, mildly attractive English upstart at the same time? His actions have already cost her the boyfriend she unwittingly stole from Sue. Roz is two down to Nathan and blazing mad. The gloves are well and truly off and she will have her revenge. Or will she?

Book 2 Rook Battles Knight
Roz decides to confront Nathan at his place of work. Bad idea. Her usual razor sharp tongue and wit lets her down, but awakens a sleeping desire in Nathan to entertain himself at Rozlyn's expense. His lesbian assistant, Betty, warns her boss about playing with fire, but Nathan is having way too much fun to heed her advice. They are two diametrically opposed forces, Roz will never admit defeat, and Nathan has never encountered it. Undeniable chemistry clashes with unyielding wills. Nathan is using Roz’s successful seminar model as the lattice work for his own seminar. Roz's disdain for Nathan's tactics masks an attraction neither one will readily admit, but one their close assistants, Maxine and Betty, recognize and exploit. When the two get together and concoct a plan to put the heterosexual pair through a crazy ‘Lesbian List of Love’ test, all hell breaks loose.

Book 3 Checkmate, My Love
Nathan is oblivious to the part he played in Rozlyn's latest mood swings and seeks Betty's help in understanding depression. Betty is only too happy to verbally slap Nathan around. How can a relationship expert be so dumb? All women will recognize the symptoms and the cure that can't be administered for reasons only women will understand. Betty's advice is priceless, but it is up to Nathan's bosses wife to heal the wound and answer the question about what makes men cry. Armed with this knowledge, Roz has Nathan convinced that Roz wanting him to admit to weeping on occasion is some kind of fetish. One that he in no way adheres to. Things are for the most part back on an even keel... NOT!

Book 4 The Laird of Bahscot
Gordon Wilkinson's fiery Colombian wife is convinced he is weak, the worst possible trait a man could have.

It’s a simple enough transaction.
Marisol needs the money, and I need a nice girl to parade in front of the cameras.
No feelings. No strings. No falling for anyone.


I’ve been clean for months, but my record company’s not satisfied. Apparently it isn’t enough to only kick a heroin addiction - they’re insisting that I find a girlfriend as well.

If I don’t, they pull Dirtshine’s massive record deal.

It’s supposed to show that I’ve changed my ways, that I’ve turned over a new leaf, all that rubbish. But I’ve had it with suit-wearing wankers telling me what I’m to do, so I’m on the verge of telling them to go f*ck themselves.

And then she shows up.

Marisol locks me out of my own concert by accident. She’s wearing a suit at a rock show, searching for her lost law school textbook, has no idea who I am…

...and for the first time in years, I’m hooked.

She’s smart, driven, and utterly gorgeous. The sort of girl who earnestly believes in following the rules and hates when others don’t.

I’m a huge rock star, recovering addict, and general f*ckup.

Our relationship is for show, and that’s all. But with every smile, every laugh, and every breathtaking glance at her curves, I want her more.

Two months is all we agreed to. But it’s never going to be enough.

Never Enough is a full-length, 90,000-word standalone novel with no cheating, lots of steam, and a happily-ever-after ending.
