I was standing at the bar and waiting for a friend when it happened. When my life changed forever. She strutted inside with her head held high with grace, not pretentiousness. With legs that reached her neck, and an hourglass frame perfect for gripping, she got me hard instantly. And those green eyes got the rest of my body hard too.

As the director of concierge of the Liberty Building in Tribeca, it’s my job to take care of the rich and famous, the billionaire suits, their trophy wives, all the VIPs. It’s like running a hotel - but for billionaires. When a penthouse opens up, it’s like the floor of the stock exchange. The highest bidder wins. And this time, the winner is Deacon Hamilton. He’s young and gorgeous...but a tool.

I know I'm never going to change. I was born in the darkness, and that's exactly where I'll remain. Rome is sweet, gentle, and vanilla. But I'll change all of that. I'll show her who I really am. And slip that black diamond onto her finger.

I finally got Valerie to give Deacon what he wants. To move to the city so the three of them can be together. I just have to give her one thing: a penthouse in my building. That means I'll have to see her, talk to her, and worst of all, assist her. But no matter how difficult she is, her being here means Derek will be here...and that makes it all worth it.

The most powerful man in the world. I wasn’t used to hearing the word no. I wasn’t used to having a rival that possessed my same confidence, my same intelligence. I wasn’t used to someone else taking control of the situation. I was always in control. Her coldness only makes me hotter. Her indifference only makes me more interested. As she proves herself to be the most gifted entrepreneur of this city, she claims my respect - and then she claims my obsession.

Tatum Titan is mine now. I finally got her back. But we have a city to rule together. A world to conquer. And there's no other woman I'd want by my side.

I gave up everything for Rome. The one woman I couldn't live without. But could I keep my promise and turn my back on everything? Could I really forsake being a Dom? Or will I pull her into the darkness with me anyway?

I've never made a compromise before. But I made an exception for Diesel Hunt. Because he was all man. Because he was everything I needed. Because he would make it worth my while. Now, I'm calling the shots. I'm the one in control. No matter how much I hurt him, he asks for more. All I can think about is when my turns arrives. When I'm the one on my knees, wrists bound. Completely powerless to this man. Diesel Hunt...the most powerful man in the world.

As the world's most renowned heart surgeon, I accomplished every dream I had. I did my humanitarian work in South Africa, conducted groundbreaking research with my clinic, and made a difference every single day. The best part? The way my father looked at me.....like he'd never been more proud. But when my patience dies on the table, I lose everything. And I mean everything. My wife left me. I lost my practice. And worst of all...I lost myself. I'll never be able to reclaim everything I lost, nor do I want to. Until I meet Sicily...and she refuses to accept no for an answer.

I just landed my dream job as an editor at the esteemed publisher Astra Books, and my client is the infamous sci-fi writer Derek Hamilton. The greatest writer of our generation - in my opinion. But it's not as wonderful as I thought it would be. I can't get this guy to respond to my emails, texts, or phone calls. Whenever I get him on the phone, he's a jerk that hangs up on me. He's a pain in the you-know-where. Yes, he's gorgeous...but he makes my life a living hell.

I've been living in the past for so long, and it's time that I move on. Forget Catherine. I'm done with her. I'm done with her memory. I'm done playing "what if". I have this beautiful woman right in front of me that I want. And I'm just going to go for it. Finally.

She's on her knees. Tatum Titan. Just for me. I'm the man who rules her. I'm the man who owns her. But our time together is coming to an end. I realize I can't let her go. I can't let her marry Thorn. Not when it should be me.

The director of my clinic is retiring and the job is up for grabs. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want the job for myself, but I’d be happy if any of my colleagues got the promotion. But none of them get it. And neither do I. It’s an outside hire. Atlas Beaumont. Super genius, but I think he’s a super prick. Worst part of all? My father is the one who wrote his letter of recommendation, the one that impressed my boss so much that he hired him on the spot.

Short Stories by Texas Authors – Volume 10 (2025) showcases the range and punch of contemporary Texas storytelling—gritty realism, luminous literary work, and bold imagination—curated by Texas Authors Press, a division of the Texas Authors Museum & Institute of History. Drawn from the annual short story contest and arranged by score, this limited 2025 edition moves from a motel-room survival in Cheryl King’s “A Wonderful Horrible Life” to myth-forged courage in Emeryl Williams’s “Guardian of the High Reaches: The Story of Jul and Ari,” then roots itself in place with B. ...

I have a secret that I've never told Derek, simply because it's something I never share with anyone. He has his secrets, I have mine. But when a late night takes an unexpected turn, I realize the truth will have to come out. Until he figures it out on his own...and that makes it a million times worse.

Deacon Hamilton was supposed to be just a client. And I don't date clients. Well, not anymore. But I've fallen in love with his son, fallen in love with our trips to the cabin...and now I can't be with Tucker anymore. Not when Deacon is the man I want. So I'm just going to tell him. And hope for the best.

I rushed into something I wasn't ready for. I want to be ready, wish I were ready, but I'm just not. But I miss her. Every day. Every moment. Always. It's like losing half of my soul. Maybe Sicily is the right person, just not the right time.

The second the whip was placed in my hand, I snapped. I couldn't turn away. I needed this. The man I fought for so long has returned, more feral than before. Will Rome still love me? Or will she leave?

Valerie got between us just like I feared she would. And completely destroyed me. But I believe Deacon and I can make it work, that I can have the family I've always wanted...if I just have faith.

He betrayed me. I trusted him, like a fool, and he stabbed me in the back. Diesel Hunt. He hurt me. Lied to me. And now he ruined me. But I'm not the kind of woman who stays on the ground. I'm back on my feet. I'm back from the dead. And I'm stronger than before. It'll take something a lot stronger to bury a woman like me. Tatum Titan.
