Nate -- Being a substitute teacher is good for me.
It's sensible.
Logical.
Abandoning my plans for a career in the film industry and a life full of fun, albeit slightly reckless, actions was the responsible thing to do.
That's who I am now.
That's who I've become.
Mr. Boring. Mr. Predictable. Mr. Anal Retentive.
At least that's what I thought until one irresistible student breathes life back into the version of me I've been desperately trying to suffocate.
Being with Ainsley isn't a want. It's a need.
And I'm willing do anything to fulfill it.
Ainsley -- I've spent my entire life ashamed of who I am.
Who my mother is. What she does.
Being forced to attend a private school where people endlessly whisper about it is only bearable because I know exactly what's in my future.
I know exactly where I'm going.
I know exactly what to do to get there.
Or at least I thought I did.
One class with him and suddenly my entire world was missing one very important piece.
Being with Nate isn't just about sex.
It's about loving life in a way I never imagined.
The situation isn't ideal, but I'll do whatever it takes to be with him.
If you were dying, what would be on the list of moments that mattered most to you? That shaped your life? What would you choose to remember or choose to ignore even in the face of death? Who would you miss? What would you regret not doing? Who would you regret not loving? In the face of your own mortality or in the face of your lover's, what would be part of the list?

After dealing with an emergency, family disagreements, and a media nightmare, the two of them are forced to wade through the unfriendly waters of being a royal couple.
Traditions will be broken. Loyalty will be tested. And relationships will be redefined.

Enter One Nightstand King, Kellan Kenningston, who also happens to be a real life prince as well as a duke.
From first blinding white smile, Kellan becomes a royal pain in the butt who keeps her laughing and Brie becomes the breath of fresh air he desperately needs.
Unfortunately, for both of them, this isn't a fairy tale with an immediate happily ever after. The media is a monster that can barely be tamed. Balls are not beautiful and bright. And more often than not, true evil is found in surprising forms.

Throughout the years many have sought to discover the man inside the mogul while others have spread legends painting him as a heartless monster consumed by greed. None of it matters to him.

I'm Arik and this is my story.

I started writing before I could write, lol. When I was three and four, my dolls and action figures had soap opera like story lines. When I was around six I started telling stories to the children in the neighborhood and they would just sit around and listen until it was time for dinner. Longgggg stories with crazy action and adventure. By the time I could actually learn to write, that was it. That's what I did with so much of my time and have never really stopped. I started writing because...to put it like nothing else, I need to do it breathe. It is what gets me out of bed, moves me, and makes every day I walk this earth worth it.
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
Every novel I write is different. I think the majority of them have basic fundamentals such as forgiveness, understanding, and learning to be okay in your skin, all things I truly believe in.
What books have most influenced your life most?
Spiritual books wise? Basically anything by Mike Dooley, he's amazing. As far as career wise...that's a hard question. I'm constantly influenced by what I read and what I'm going through. I will say the biggest author who knocked me off my feet and really lead me to have courage to break the "norm" was J.R. Ward. After reading some of her books and interviews and just side things, I really felt totally okay with doing things outside the expected box.
Do you recall how your interest in writing originated?
Lol, from the story up above. Basically once I learned to convey my thoughts and creations into words on paper, I never stopped.
Can you share a little of your current work with us?
The book I am currently editing is the third and final book in a royal rom com trilogy. It's got some twists and turns and hopefully will get some gasps, lol.
If your book was made into a film who would you like to play the lead?
Which book? Lmao. I have no idea...I would just like to be a part of the production process and get to learn a new craft while my favorite craft is being transformed.
Do you have a blog/website?
-I have a website but is completely under construction. I am hoping it is up and running again by the early summer.
Thank you so much!
