I published my first book in March 2020 under the pen name M. L. Patterson. It was a short erotic novella about a hardened woman who cheated on her husband.
With his boss.
But it was the beginning of a love story.
A different kind of love story.
One in which her husband passed through grief, rage, and revenge. And ultimately, he found deep love in himself.
For her.
The books got mixed reviews. I took the negative ones personally. And I retreated from them and from my writing.
But I'm finding my way back. Every book I've written since — both as Morgan Hale and M. L. Patterson — has been part of that journey.
If you're in search of a different kind of love story — one that is both fiercely loving and brazenly filthy — then my books might be for you.
Ten years ago, the only man I ever loved broke my heart.
I haven't seen him since.
Now I'm broke and my apartment just raised my rent.
Freaking five hundred bucks a month.
Forget the property manager. I'm going straight to the owner.
But when I storm into this rich jerk's office, I didn't expect it to be him.
And he's just as irresistible as I remember.
He has that same hungry look in his eyes.
But he's my enemy now.
I'd die before giving him a second chance.
He's a billionaire alpha with a guarded heart. She's more than his assistant, but he doesn't know. Will they find love in a web of secrets?
It's just me, my mom, and my adorable baby girl.
I don't even know her father's name, but it didn't stop me searching for him.
After four years, I've about given up.
Until he's sitting across a desk from me at the most important interview of my life.
Cold. Stern. This alpha billionaire CEO makes me squirm.
But I need this job.
Maybe it's best he doesn't recognize me.
But when he looks at me with those brooding blue eyes, can I calm my heart and stay professional?
Or will I cave and tell him he's haunted my thoughts ever since that night?
Ever since we created our beautiful daughter.
