ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 26, 2024
The moment I laid eyes on the curvy woman, I wanted her something awful. I’m not a good man and never pretend to be. I make no promises and am always honest that it’s pleasure I’m looking for and nothing more—until her. I lie to her and myself.
There was a plan when she was brought to me. Only for every part of it to change. I needed answers only she could give me. She hesitated but accepted the bargain I offered her. I tell her I’ll let her go. I promise if she tells me no, I’ll accept it. But I can’t, not when she’s lying to me and herself.
I should let her go. She is a civilian who doesn’t belong in my world and doesn’t want to be here. Except I am a devil, and I take what I want. I’ll never let her go. Now, I just have to make her want to stay.
Bargain with the Devil is an Irish mafia dark romance featuring a plus-size woman. It includes rough scenes and a pregnancy through manipulation. If such things offend you, please do not buy.

Declan Kelly will be using Miranda Beckett as payment for a debt but her accounting skills are what he needs the most. Believing she will be free of Declan within a matter of days, our heroine finds herself falling for her jailer, a man who is falling just as fast.

The relationship between Declan and Miranda begins as payment for a debt. Miranda becomes a prisoner in a gilded cage, a prisoner who will quickly fall for her jailer in the wake of Declan’s dogged determination and seduction. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative.
The secondary and supporting characters include the return of Tony and Dominic Sabatini, and Milos Levin, as well as the introduction of Miranda’s brother Peter Beckett; Declan’s housekeeper Aoife; Declan’s best friend Ryan, and right hand man Colm.

Due to commitment issues I have lived in many different cities and my favorite is Chicago but I have managed to settle into Austin and perhaps my commitment issues are behind me.
I have enjoyed reading from a very young age and it wasn’t long before the children books bored me and I read the books my mother enjoyed Stephen King and Dean Koontz and I didn’t sleep without the light on until I was about ten.
I came across my first Harlequin by accident and it was love at first read, no one died and happy endings? It was a whole new world and I loved it.
I wrote my first story at eight and everyone died, of course. Since then I would like to think I’ve gotten better and now I’m writing the happily ever afters I first fell in love with, with some hot sex thrown in along the way.
As a plus size woman myself, I have started writing the stories I always wanted to see myself in but never did. And now I’m ecstatic to give BBWs the happily ever afters with hot Alphas I want to read.
