House of Bliss

BOOK ONE, THE BLISS HOUSE SERIES

Newly named heir of Bliss House, Elspeth Elsmere (aka Els) is exhausted. With her aunt’s passing: Els is hoping she will be able to stop working as a high-end escort to pay the bills, and get back to being a full-time law student.

The need for change becomes urgent when a late-night attack leaves her injured and afraid.

Enter Jackson Markham, ex-special forces, decorated war hero, bold and brave in everything but love. Burned and spurned in the past he has a strict “no girlfriends” policy. He is solely focused on passing the California Bar Exam. Taking odd jobs to supplement his VA benefits. Jackson’s resources are running low.

When Els approaches him offering pay and housing to act as her bodyguard, he warily agrees. He’s noticed her around campus in her tight little running shorts for a few years and is currently the teaching aide in one of her classes. No matter what, he is determined to stick to his “no women” policy and to keep his heart safe. Up until now nothing has mattered more to Els than Bliss House and completing her law degree.

Suddenly she finds that she wants a man of her own. Not just any man, this man, Jackson. Not willing to keep her past a secret, she is afraid he’ll leave the minute he finds out what she was doing to pay her aunt’s medical bills and hold on to Bliss House.

Will Els have to choose between Bliss House and actual bliss? Can she have both?
