On the Clock Series
5 primary works
Book 1
"If I offered you some advice, would you take it?"
Sloane Williams is shocked to hear those words coming out of her boss's mouth. She's been wanting to move up the ladder at Billingsley-Davis for years but as the only black woman on her team, she's pretty out of the loop when it comes to office goings-on. And while her boss, Keith McNair, is skinfolk, he doesn't seem to know she's alive, personally or professionally.
So why was he taking an interest in her now? What she doesn't know is that Mr. McNair has had her on his mind for quite a while. She's smart, gorgeous, sexy...and his subordinate. So he made himself ignore her, and was doing a pretty good job of it.
Until now. Opportunity is knocking and he's ready to bust through the door.
Book 2
According to office gossip, Cairo King has bagged every single woman in his department. A couple of married ones, too. The man is so legendary, the employees at Billingsley-Davis have dubbed him the "happy hour hoe."
So when Taylor Knowles is unceremoniously dumped by her boyfriend, her coworkers take her for drinks after work and point her right in Cairo's direction. Work out your heartache, they said. It'll be fun, they said. But Taylor soon discovers that there's a lot more to Cairo than rumors, and the truth will ultimately change them both. Forever.
Book 3
Cash Nixon works the third shift at Billingsley-Davis. It's gritty, dirty, hands-on work but he loves it. He's good with his hands. Tonight, he's on his way in when he spots her. She's beautiful, but very out of place in her black dress and stiletto heels. Who is she, and why is she here?
Adriana Tucker is normally out the door at five on the dot but she stayed late tonight to finish up a project. She's finally on her way out when she sees him. He's the most handsome man she's ever seen, even in his dirty coveralls. Is he staring at me?
They both read the situation clearly: they're from two different worlds and it would never work. But what they don't know, yet, is that they have something in common: they both like to get dirty...
Book 4
Star Kennedy and Lennox Washington are the kind of work besties who do everything together, even the wild and crazy exploits Star comes up with. She's always been vibrant and adventurous, while Lennox is laid back and quiet, content to go along for the ride. So when Billingsley-Davis furloughs most of their department, he isn't surprised that Star comes up with an outrageous plan to earn the money she needs: a high quality adult film. What does surprise him is that she wants him to participate. But he's never been able to tell her no and despite his concerns and his homeboy's warnings, this time is no different.
It should have been easy. They're comfortable with each other, they're both gorgeous, and there's no chance of it becoming anything more because they have no romantic feelings for each other. But as soon as the camera starts rolling, their previously clear relationship is plunged into confusion, leaving them both to wonder if their friendship will ever recover. What do you do when fictitious passion turns into the real thing?
Book 5
Nakima Bridges thought sending her twin sons off to college would be the start of a new, exciting life. She's forty, single, and ready to mingle. Except she's not mingling at all. She's always working, especially now. All anyone at Billingsley-Davis can talk about is the two employees who made a sex tape, and as an HR manager, she's been tasked with figuring out how to handle this powder keg. Unfortunately, that means working side-by-side with Cordell Warren.
He's twenty-four, fresh out of law school, and the newest attorney at Billingsley-Davis. It's his rookie status that gets him thrown onto this case but he's determined to spin it into gold and prove his worth by any means necessary. It's his drive for success that makes him cocky and overbearing, and those are traits that turn Nakima off initially. But the more time they spend working together, the more she gets to know him. Underneath the arrogant exterior is a nice young man. A handsome young man. A sexy young man.
A man young enough to be her son.
