Book 2
From New York Times bestselling author Jenna Jameson and Hope Tarr comes Honey- the sexy second installment in the delicious Fate series. "Honey" Gustafson grew up watching Audrey Hepburn films, especially Breakfast at Tiffany's. Leaving behind Omaha and her abusive family for New York City, she parlays her resemblance to the legendary screen actress to reinvent herself as a postmodern Holly Golightly down to the elbow high gloves, liquid eyeliner, and upswept hair. As an escort to hedge fund CEOs and visiting Saudi sheiks, suddenly Honey is living the life she's always dreamed of, party to a glittering world of wealth and privilege previously glimpsed through film. But there is a shadow side to the gilded path Honey has chosen. One night her tainted fairytale erupts in brutal violence that comes close to getting her killed. Raised on the hard streets of Spanish Harlem, sexy ER doctor, Marcus Samuels has seen his share of domestic violence outside the hospital as well as within it. Still, something about the lovely waiflike young woman who shows up in his ER clothed in vintage couture and bearing a broken wrist and patchwork of bruises tugs at his heart.
"Honey's" stoicism and stubborn courage frustrate him but also win his admiration. When she discharges herself against medical advice-his-Marcus is both irate and fearful for her. The bastard who beat her within an inch of her life will likely do so again-and the next time she may not be so lucky. He knows he can't save everyone but he can save someone-this someone. Breaking every rule in the medical handbook, and likely a law or two, he trails her back to her Park Avenue apartment-and gets much more than he bargained for. Can Honey and Marcus overcome their dark pasts and find their own sexy Happily Ever After?

The third and final installment of the bestselling FATE series
As the adult film sensation, SPICE, Liz Carter was known for her sultry looks, sexy curves, and natural DDs. Years ago, a surprise pregnancy prompted her to leave porn and LA for her native New York where she launched a new life as a single mom and graphic designer. Still, having to hide her past for the sake of her son takes its toll. Staying single and solo is a lonely path but it's also easier and safer than risking being recognized. To fill the void, she forms FATE, an informal meet-up group for former adult entertainers who've left the life but find themselves in need of a supportive, safe environment where they can speak freely without fear of retaliation or rejection. The tight knit group of five, which eventually includes her bestie, Sarah (SUGAR), becomes more than friends family.
FATE is just a few months old when Liz learns she has breast cancer. The decision to have a double mastectomy is agonizing but doing so will give her the best shot at seeing her son grow up. The multiple surgeries and chemotherapy are grueling but with the help of her fellow FATEs, she comes through. Cancer-free for more than a year, she is back from a mother-son vacation to Disney World when she runs across a Facebook message from a former male stripper seeking to join the group. A coffee meet-up to screen the potential newcomer proves to be more than Liz bargained for a lot more.
Tall, dark, and Irish-American, Sean has her seriously rethinking her "single and solo" status. For the first time since her diagnosis, she feels sort of...sexy so long as she keeps her clothes on and her scars hidden.
Will Liz learn to trust again only to have it and her heart broken?
After his sister, an adult film star, dies from an inevitable drug overdose, PhD candidate Sean O'Malley does some digging into the porn-star life and stumbles upon FATE. Curious about the correlation between drug usage and the industry, he contacts Liz the group's smart, sexy leader. Hoping to better understand his sister's life and death, he poses as a former male stripper seeking guidance and support. If he can be accepted into FATE, maybe he'll get the answers he seeks.
But infiltrating the group isn't easy. Though Sean eventually wins over most of the members, there's only one flaw in his plan: Liz. But he has work to do and his late sister to think about. He must continue his research. So why does he keep finding excuses to put off finishing it?
