I crossed a powerful man and now he wants to rent me for a week. Getting through life is hard enough when you rely on picking pockets and hustling pool, but it's a businessman from out of town who throws a wrench in the works. In my defense, it's Mardi Gras, we were all just having a good time and, well, a girl's got to eat! But Logan doesn't see it that way. He thinks I owe him, so he plans to take payment from my body. The thing is, he's so hot, that I don't have a problem with this… I got hustled by a beautiful thief and I'm not going to let her get away with it. How can a simple business trip and quick stopover to enjoy some Mardi Gras festivities turn into the worst night of my life? I don't know, but I'm not about to let Scarlett get away with the hundreds of dollars she won by cheating. So I'm taking her away with me to a tropical island, where she's going to learn a lesson she'll never forget. And when I'm done with her, I'm going to make sure she knows that I play for keeps… Taming Red is a fun, filthy vacation from the mundane for one dominant alpha male and the very sassy lady he intends to claim. This standalone 25,000-word romance novella has no cliffhanger and an HEA!
