Throwback Thursday: Hairbands

Ahh, the good old days when no one could see you on the telephone, let alone a computer, and if you mentioned a timeline, status updates (Facebook) or tweeting (Twitter) they'd think you were on some seriously awesome shit and FUBAR out of your freakin' ever lovin' mind. If you were lucky, they'd just swipe your hairspray.

A friend of mine used to be a road manager for the group Cinderella, so to start off my journey back in time, I thought we'd play a little Cinderella. Enjoy, ya'll, and please feel free to bang your head. :D

Beautiful Illusions
By Annie Jocoby

Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance | FREE (through December 2013)

Jaded Iris Snowe’s humdrum life becomes a fairy tale with the addition of the absurdly rich, ungodly sexy Ryan Gallagher. But he’s hiding deadly secrets that could turn happily-ever-after into a nightmare...

Attorney Iris Snowe drinks too much, eats too much, and spends too much. Her sex life has been as spectacularly unsuccessful as her law practice, so she spends her evenings in her tiny apartment watching bad TV, talking to her cat, and rescuing pit bulls. And her name might be Iris, but it should be Jade. As in jaded, which is how she feels about romance and men in general.

So, when a gorgeous and sexy stranger appears in her law office on Monday morning, after a one-night stand the previous Saturday, she doesn't think that he is coming to see her because he is interested. She just figures that she left something behind in the room and he is enough of a gentleman to deliver it to her.

How wrong she is.

As it turns out, Ryan Gallagher not only looks like a Ralph Lauren model come to life, but is also fabulously wealthy, as he is the son of a prominent billionaire.

In other words, light years out of Iris' league.  And completely into her, in more ways than one.

And so begins the erotic Cinderella romance of her life, with a man who truly loves her. And oh, if it could just be that simple. But, of course, it's not -the fairy tale is fractured, as it is marred by obsession, jealousy, and dark secrets that Ryan has desperately sought to conceal and repress. It turns out that, behind those magnificent green eyes, lies the memories of a past that nobody should ever have to experience. Nobody.

But when his past becomes his present, his secrets come to light.

And one of those secrets just might be deadly...
