Play pretend

Two steamy, stand-alone romance stories with a little play pretend... CARMELA (a flirty, forty+ divorced, short story) Carmela Beltran found her play pretend cohort in Hayes Felker. The playing was fun, and they make a mutual agreement for a platonic connection. Nothing more. But denying their growing attraction isn't so simple - especially for these two divorcees that only want to avoid complications. MARIANELA (a forced proximity/competition novella) When Mari Randall meets Finn Barron in try-outs for a reality TV show, they form a partnership to help each other advance. But things aren't exactly as they seem and it's looking like one - or both - might be playing for more than just the chance at money. Ambition, betrayal and possible love are in play.
