There's only one woman on this plant that could consume me, and her name is Elle.
It didn't matter to me that she was owned by the mafia.
Why would it? I'm Prince, and I take whatever I want - including Elle.
She has a body and soul almost as broken as mine,
but fuck it, she's a beautiful tragedy.
One taste was all it took for me know.
I wasn't ever supposed to fall for someone so destroyed,
but she was never supposed to be mine.
As a child, I loved telling stories to entertain myself and my friends from the beginning. The most outlandish stories about random things that I concocted in my head, I would tell to my friends and family. It took many years for me to harness that into an actual book. Once I bit the bullet and decided to publish Save Me (The Lucky Family Series), I had to continue writing.
I'm a total coffee addict- the sweeter the coffee the better. I'm a big history and criminal justice junky which makes me really good at trivia night. I'm a professional during the day and a closeted writer at night.
I love writing steamy stories full of alphas and sassy women who give as much as they take. Lately, I have been getting into other genres as well.

horror when she finds herself sucked through the window and right
into a whole other world--a world that seems stuck in the past,
around the time of the Victorian era.
Now Caroline must deal
with hoop skirts and elaborate etiquette, not to mention all the
dangers of the past. It's a minefield of antiquated social mores and
poisons used as medicines and cosmetics. But perhaps the most
perplexing problem is the husband she has somehow acquired--a tall,
dark Blood Kindred named Richard who claims she is his wife and
refuses to let her go. For in this universe, the Kindred arrived 200
years earlier than in her own time and they have made their way into
polite society...as Richard seems determined to make his way into
Caroline's heart.
Will Caroline ever find her way back
to her own time and universe? Will she succumb to Richard's charms
and give in to the big Blood Kindred who claims her as his own? And
what about the scheming mother she has in this world who is
determined that she will leave Richard for a Viscount of questionable
morals? Caroline doesn't know what to do, she only knows that if she
cannot somehow open another window into her own world she will be
forever...Trapped in Time.

Excerpt
Why am I writing this?
I’m not one to preach. In fact, I find the act of trying to convince someone of a different lifestyle quite unnatural. Everyone has their own path in life and their own timing. I understand the principles of minimalism may not be for everyone. You may now be wondering why then have I taken the time to write this book? The thing is that I believe everyone is a minimalist at heart; we were simple at birth, after all.
I often hear others reminisce about the old days. How life was simple and vivid during childhood. Music was heavenly, the outdoors was our domain and ice cream was everything! There was an authentic nuance to life that now most of us only have access to through our memories; the bitter-sweet nostalgia.
This book is about reviving that childlike glee. It’s about happiness and what it really takes to be happy. It’s about realizing that less is more, and about letting go of your possessions and the depressions that come with it. It’s about doing away with the unessential so we can concentrate on the things that are truly important to us. Finally, it’s about living in the present and being ready to accept the wonderful things waiting to reach you.
Our need for more: One of society’s most grave and (until now) ignored illnesses.
The Minimalist Babe is about saying goodbye to the extras in life from time to time, finding happiness in having less, and finding your inner badass through your newly acquired freedom. It is the culmination of all my research; a toolbox of sorts filled with tips, techniques, exercises, and prompts that have helped me be my most authentic self.
When I’m not writing, I spend my time nurturing relationships and learning new skills. I focus on being healthy and purposeful and it’s working like magic. I am in the happiest phase of my life and want the same for each one of you. This book is an attempt to manifest that vision. Let us cut out the bitter side of nostalgia and bite into the sweetness of life that is now
Love,
Lola
About the Author
Lola Ray Marie loves to write, bathe in sunrays and ponder the mysteries of life. She is also the author of “A Morning Routine” her debut Self-Help book.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Right? What if he’s my lover? What if he’s my enemy?
Secrets, double lives, and a hidden agenda collide with hope, humor, and adventure as the passion between two star-crossed lovers ignites.
Hawk is a biker driven by a singular purpose, fueled by an all-consuming need. A need for vengeance. He’s spent the last four years planning his retaliation, and it’s time to strike; it’s time to annihilate his enemy.
Zoe has one rule in life: no regrets. She lives on the edge and is willing to risk everything for her crusade. A crusade for justice. She’s spent the last four years on a crime spree of epic proportions, all for the good of the cause. All to destroy her enemy.
Escalating war consumes the underworld of Broadwater Bay, an underworld where Hawk and Zoe live on opposite sides, behind enemy lines. Will they be able to trust each other long enough to discover that they have the same enemy?
Because the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Or is it lover? Or is it another enemy?
Ivy Lucas writes romantic suspense novels that feature a healthy dash of humor, kickass heroines, and hot alpha men. She is a dreamer, professional reality-escape-artist, and has a serious coffee addiction.
Ivy has always been obsessed with reading, and when she didn’t have her face buried in a book, which was often because she devoured them, she would make up her own stories to fill the void. Ivy’s imagination is a crazy and dangerous place to be, even for her independent, sassy female characters. It’s also the best place to meet sexy men who have that panty-dropping, anti-hero thing going on.
A woman of the world, Ivy was born in Holland, grew up in New Zealand, and spent a year living in Europe when she was a teenager. She traveled to Australia not long after finishing school for a one-year working holiday and never left. She now lives in sunny Queensland with her soul mate, their two kids, and a fluffy white cat.
Over the years Ivy has been a jack of all trades and master of none - until the day she decided to write down one of those stories she had floating around in her head. That was when she realized her passion for books was about more than just reading them. She had stories to tell and they were demanding to be told.
