Welcome to Black Diamond Resort and Spaโthe best place to go when all you want to do is disappear and not have anyone expect anything of you.
Overwhelmed with work and feeling like Iโm being pulled in multiple directions at once, I crave the serenity a private island holds for me. As a very recognizable figure in the adult film industry, Iโm used to shelling out parts of myself for the sake of others. Everyone wants more pictures, videos, and more of my time and energy. Though Iโve created an empire that has made me lots of money in a business I enjoy, I still desire a break.
Sandy beaches, fruity drinks, and turquoise waters are all I expected from this trip. I definitely didnโt anticipate running into my high school crushโthe jock that never once looked at me the way I wanted him to.
Jarrod Bivens is now the star goalie of the San Jose Bobcats, and the person half the world is blaming for his team losing in the playoffs. Clearly here for his own escape, our chance encounter ignites an instant friendship. With each day on the island, I realize my crush is far from gone, but Jarrodโs known for only dating Hollywood starlets, so heโs obviously straight. Maybe those lingering gazes and small touches are all in my head.
But one day, something interesting arises between usโa moment I couldnโt have prepared myself for. Our mounting tension finally snaps, but little did I know it was only the beginning of a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Our chemistry is undeniable, but the real world awaits, and life off the island is bound to be much different. How can two people from polar opposite worlds ever make it work?
BLURB ย Ten years ago, I kissed my best friend. ย Six years ago, my life changed and I went from being an unknown kid from a small town to a world-renowned rock star. Before leaving Gaspar, I told Ali weโd still be together. I made promises I didnโt keep, and I lied over and over again. I threw our plans out the window and made a life for myself. ย Iโve barely had time to go home, because touring keeps me away. We havenโt been in touch in years, but after this tour, Iโm heading home to find the only person who knows my deepest, darkest secret, and beg for forgiveness. ย Ten years ago, I kissed my best friend, and his name is Alejandro Barerra. My Ali. ย He may never forgive me for the broken promises or for breaking his heart, and Iโm afraid heโll never want to talk to me again, but heโs the only one who knows the real me, and Iโm determined to win him back. Even if it means risking it all.
EXCERPTS ย #1 (Explicit) ย Sprawled naked across the bed, I watch Merrick as he grips the bottle of Johnnie Walker and pours a small amount of the amber liquid on my chest. The alcohol drips off both sides, and travels down the middle of my stomach. Merrick leans over me and licks the whiskey from my skin. โMm,โ he moans, gazing up at me with hooded, lust-filled eyes. โThis is the best threesome we could have.โ โThe only threesome weโll have.โ He chuckles. โSomeone doesnโt like to share.โ He crawls on top of me, straddling my hips while wearing nothing but his boxers. โOpen your mouth for Johnnie.โ I do as he says and he carefully pours a sips worth of the alcohol into my mouth. โNow open up for me.โ Merrick frees his erection through the slit in the boxers and scoots up, running the tip across my bottom lip. I open my mouth and swirl my tongue around the circumference of his cockhead before he pushes in farther. โGoddamn,โ he groans. He fucks my mouth for a minute before climbing off me. โMm,โ I moan, licking my lips.ย โWho tastes better? Me or Johnnie?โ he asks teasingly. โIโm not sure,โ I reply, reaching down to stroke my cock. โI may need another taste test.โ Merrick shoots me an unamused look before wrapping his lips around the head of the bottle and swallowing down a mouthful of whiskey. โCome suck the taste off my tongue,โ he commands. I scramble up and get on my knees, capturing his face in my hands, and plunge my tongue in his mouth. I suck his whiskey-flavored tongue into my mouth, eliciting a low moan from his throat. โLay down,โ I tell him. He lifts a brow but lies his large body across my mattress. I yank his boxers down, revealing his impressive erection. I keep to the side of him and steal the bottle from his hand, and pour a generous amount of the liquid onto his stomach. The man is so cut, the alcohol pools in the crevice between his abs. I drop down and slurp the liquid into my mouth, taking some time to lick up the trails that traveled a little lower. ย #2 (Clean) ย โWhy me?โ He furrows his brows. โWhat do you mean?โ โWhy do you want me?โ โHave you not heard what Iโve told you?โ he asks, taking a step forward. โYouโve said Iโm everything to you. Yeah, I heard that.โ โBut,โ he offers, knowing I have more to say. I drop my arms and grip the edge of the dresser. โBut those are just words. Weโve said a lot to each other over the years. Youโve consistently told me one thing just to do something that completely contradicts it. Why should I believe you now? Or ever?โ โIโm trying to get you to realize Iโm not like that anymore. If I say something, I want you to believe it. Iโve had years to dwell on my bullshit. Iโve had so many regrets, and honestly, if I was in your shoes, I donโt know if Iโd forgive me. But youโre better than me, Ali. You always have been, and you make me want to be better. For you.โ My heart sings at his words, but I canโt allow myself to be naive. โLetโs pretend I tell you that I forgive you for everything and that you do have a chance. Then what? This is the problem we always had. I let you suck me back into a secret relationship because you werenโt out yet, and thatโs still the case. I will not be a skeleton in your closet. I will not be forced to love you in secret.โ He takes the remaining steps to reach me, wrapping his hands around mine. โTell me I have a chance, Ali. Tell me youโd give us one last shot and Iโll risk it all. Iโll risk everything for you. For us.โ

This book was AMAZING!!! One of the best student/teacher, age gap romances I have read in a long time. If these tropes are your cup of tea, then you really need to read this book!!
Isabel sure knows how to write a steamy story to capture your attention and make you not want to sleep or work the next morning!
ย I knew it was a professor/student romance but OMG guys, this book is literally the age gap/professor-student/forbidden romance of my dreams.
This is one amazing book. The characters will have you begging for more and the authors fantastic writing style will have you forgetting this is a novel and not real life.ย
WARNING – WARNING – WARNING HOT AF EXCERPT BELOW. EXPLICIT LANGUAGE.
NOVA
He sighs then turns and looks at me. โI wish things were different.โ
I chew on my lip and look up at him with hooded eyes. โIf they were, what would happen?โ
He groans. โOh, Nova. You have no idea.โ
ELIJAH
Her chest rises with a deep breath. โTell me.โ
Novaโs dress has ridden up high on her thighs, showing off her flawless golden-brown skin, and I think about whatโs hiding between those luscious thighs. Itโs a risky game even talking about what I want to do, but itโs not doing it. Thatโs what I tell myself.
โIโd want to take my time with you, unlike last time. I would taste every inch of your bodyโthose thighs, your hips, stomach, breasts, neck.โ I eye each spot as I name them, and her breathing becomes ragged. โThen Iโd flip you over and work my way back down.โ
Her shiver is visible in the darkened car, and her moan audible over the music playing low over the speakers.I watch as she squeezes her thighs together, closing her eyes briefly. When they flicker open, she stares straight at me and says, โKeep going.โ
Itโs a husky whisper. A demand I want to meet.โIโd bury my face between your thighs and lap up every drop of your arousal. Iโd fuck your tight cunt with my tongue and then gently lick circles around your clit until I brought you to orgasm. And then Iโd lick you clean.โ
Her eyes widen in surprise at the vulgar language, but the wanton moan she releases lets me know she loves it. My cock comes to life as her hand drops slowly to her thigh and moves under the hem of her dress.Good God.Against my better judgement, I keep going. I canโt help myself.

My story is a taboo (cheating) romance called Think Again.
He thinks I don’t know. He thinks he’s getting away with it. He thinks karma won’t come back to get him. He needs to think again.
Men think women are vindictive, and maybe they’re right. But when we get to the point of being cold, calculating, and vindictive, it’s because they pushed us there. Not only is my husband unaware that he’s pushing me too far, he also doesn’t realize that I just met a man who’s ready to catch me.
I think he’s just my new co-worker. I think it’s just innocent flirting. I think I’ll be able to keep my morals. I need to think again.
