My So-Called Friend's Husband


Book Description

Lumerica... strong, independent, and smart, with a shadowed past. Lumerica has always had her eyes on her best friend's husband Nicholas from the moment she first laid eyes on him. Regardless, she respected her friendship with Lilly and never gave in to the cravings she had for her husband even though it was obvious that he'd felt the same way about her. Lumerica returned home early from work one day and found Lilly, her best friend in her bed with her husband Kevin, the same guy Lilly had introduced her to a year prior. Seeing this crushed her and made her lose all the respect she had for her and her marriage to Nicholas. Lumerica soon gives in to Nicholas' advances and the two began having an affair. Now that she's giving him her body, Nicholas believes he owns her and can sleep with her whenever he walks through her front door even if she denies it. *** He pressed his soft lips against mine and lifted me on the countertop, his lips separating from mine and immediately moving to my neck. I moaned in a breath as my body was crying out for more, forgetting myself, I began bursting the buttons of his shirt aggressively. Yet still, this was wrong. I didn’t want to ruin my friendship with his wife and stopped myself from allowing it to go any further. “Wait!” I yelled, nudging him aside, “I can't do this, I'm married!” “So am I,” he countered, overlooking what I’d just said and kissing me even harder.

God's Black Badge


Book Description

It seems that since my conception, God has always blessed me with his guidance and protection. He has always taken care of my enemies, and he took my pain to become their pain. There were many times that I could not understand or rationalize why my situations were eased and the end results were always positive. It took me many years to realize that Gods unchanging hand dealt me the necessary cards of life that has carried me from the gutter most to the uttermost. As we Christian folks always say, God may not be there when you need him most, but he will not forsake you and he is always be there on time. The following occurrences are true, and without my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my life would be in turmoil and filled with sadistic behavior. The following is also my testimony of just how great Gods love is if we would only let go and let God.
