Each erotic romance in
The Manhattanites
series may be enjoyed as a standalone, features an HEA for every couple, and is cliffhanger free! *smile* Luigi, Rocco, and Jemma were introduced as part of the supporting cast in my novel,
Undressed
(Massimo & Lex). They’re back with more drama, Italian style and getting their own story. This time, Jemma gets pregnant. Unsure which boyfriend is the father, will this be the end of their poly relationship or just the beginning? Find out in
Unconventional
. Be sure to read my other novels in the series,
Unscrupulous
(Warner & Taddy) and
Unsaid
(Miguel & Blake), and add my upcoming releases of
Unique

LET’S
a love poem
I’LL…unease you, totally tease you
MEN…look at me, want to make love to me
WOMEN…want to be me, hate me
Let’s not dance around the subject
YOU…may lust after me, maybe even marry me, I’ll carry your baby
HOW DID WE…veer this far left, get so fucked up
WE…started the relationship out so right, ended so wrong
Let’s try again
MAKE.....your dreams come true, alleviate your worst fears
PLEASE…warm my heart, try not to smash it, too
Let’s mend our broken hearts
FLASHBACKS…to our passionate nights, to when you found me
AS LOVERS…we know no shame, we don’t place blame, we have this secret place in time
