December 19, 2011 By
Can Jasper Davis pull himself from his life of loose women, liquor, and general debauchery in enough time to win a murder case and possibly save his own hide? Jasper Davis is a criminal trial lawyer in Baltimore who has slowly but surely become like the drug dealers and lowlifes he represents. He spends more time with hookers than clients and more time drinking Jack Daniels than studying the law books. Simply put, he is a shade of his former self.
In Reasonable Facsimile, Jasper is in the middle of a first degree murder trial when he becomes the suspect in the murder of a DEA agent who was set to testify against his client. Jasper is so far gone on women and liquor he sees his trial skills deteriorate right before his eyes. Jasper is confronted by the situation. Is he gonna continue to be a reasonable facsimile of a human being or is he gonna become the man he once was?

In Love and Trust by Jeanie Johnson and Jayha Leigh
December 6, 2011 By
Thamesis watched Trust calmly walk away from him. He didn’t mind the back view of this woman, but there was nothing like watching her eyes, especially when they ignited with anger. No doubt Trust wanted to harm him, but he couldn’t bother with being scared when he was so busy being turned on. She tried so hard to dismiss him, not knowing how futile a task that was.
Trust was fire and ice and he wanted nothing more than to throw himself headfirst into that beautiful womanly body. Thamesis spent his nights dreaming of the beautiful, dangerous woman. He wasn’t sure what turned him on more: her beauty or her lethalness. Though she hadn’t maimed since coming here, Thamesis knew it wouldn’t take much to get her there. Trust wasn’t just talk; she was death to whomever she decided was her enemy. And damn if that didn’t make him hard.
