Sex, lies, and love... Zoe Marks believes in the sex and lies, but life has taught her to leave love out of the equation. She keeps her life simple, avoiding the corporate world of her father and brothers. As for her men, she prefers them short lived and red hot. So when she meets attorney Declan Price, she wants nothing more than her proverbial ''hot spot'' stroked. Only Declan isn''t willing to stop at one night, and he makes it known. Soon Declan and Zoe are in a whirlwind affair where the battle for control—both in and out of the bedroom—becomes an erotic adventure. And just when Zoe begins to trust Declan, to think she might let him beyond her barriers, she discovers he has a business connection to her father. Now, Zoe must decide what Declan''s real motives are, and she''ll do whatever is necessary to get to the truth. If Declan wants to end up on top, he''s going to have to prove he belongs there.

I believe that there is one person in this world that can both break us and make us whole. One person who can love us more than life can hurt us. With this comes deep, intense passion, and a burning connection. But in turn, that person can destroy us, cut us, make us bleed in ways no other ever could. They have power over us. For me, that one person is Dash Black. He walked into my life in a rush of sunshine, in the darkness of heartache and uncertainty. We were broken apart, and whole together. He healed me. I believed I did the same for him. Until the past became the present, and every moment of suffering in his life consumed him. Instead of seeking refuge in me, he pushed me away. As the famous quote from an unknown author says, “If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it’s yours; if it doesn’t, it never was.” I''ve set Dash Black free. Now, I wait. When I Say Yes is the third and final book in the Necklace Trilogy.

To the world, Dash Black is famous, wealthy, wildly good-looking, and intriguing. To say that he came into my life and shook my world is an understatement. He looked into my eyes and I swear our souls connected, but then, I saw what no one else was ever allowed to see. I saw a complicated man with secrets, a man who hides behind a persona that tells only part of his story. And ultimately, I felt his pain and he felt mine. He told me I belonged with him. I believed I did. But in the book of life, the pages don''t turn with a simple flip of a sheet of paper. In life, sometimes the page won''t turn. Sometimes we discover that what is right is more terrifying than what is wrong. I love Dash Black, but he terrifies me. I believe he feels the same about me. And I''m not sure where that leaves us or what comes next. Because I Can is the second book in the Necklace Trilogy.

But that’s exactly where Kali meets the subject of what will surely be a shocking exposé: her boss, Damion Ward, the casino’s arrogant and undeniably sexy CEO. Watching Damion make his cold, calculating business maneuvers, Kali is positive she’s doing the right thing. But after Damion invites her to help him plan a Thanksgiving charity event, Kali begins to see another side of the man. And when she surrenders to the exhilarating tension that’s been simmering between them since day one, Kali becomes part of her own story, which she hopes will have a happy ending.
