Novel & Cerita Tessa Bailey Books

GABE A knock on the door had me pulling from my thoughts and it was welcoming. I needed a distraction. Thinking about the past always grated at my nerves building up the anger that always simmered on the surface. “Doors open” I called out, not bothering to move from my horizontal position. “Alpha, Jamerson said you wanted to see me?” The sweet voice carried through the stark and drab apartment. The owner of the voice, Bailey, walked around the other side of the couch and now stood before me in a short black skirt and dark grey tank top. Her feet were clad with heels at least 4 inches high, giving the petite raven-haired beauty some height.

But thanks to Zy and his magic touch with Hallie, she almost felt like a new woman. Easing out of bed, Tessa tiptoed to her bathroom and shut the door, taking care of morning necessities as quietly as possible. With an empty bladder, clean teeth, and covered feet, she crossed the room to Zy, trying not to think about how mushy her chest felt when she stopped to stare at the big, bad warrior cradling her infant daughter.

“Yes, I get it.” ‘I will be back, Calvin Haysbert. I will be back when you will think that all your problems have been solved. I will be back at that moment.’ Tessa Bale talked with herself. At that moment, she didn’t have any other choice other than to wait until she would have the upper hand. *

You are so composed, but I bet there is fire under that professional exterior. Hailey sipped her wine, feeling the warmth spread all the way down to her belly. 'Everyone has layers, Tessa. What about you? You opened up so bravely. That’s something.' Tessa leaned closer, her knee pressing against Hailey's thigh. 'Brave or reckless? I confessed my deepest desires, and now I cannot stop imagining them. A woman's touch, soft lips on my skin.' Her voice dropped, eyes locking. 'Like yours, maybe.'

Tanner My eyelids close for what I’m sure is the last time as the swamp swallows me whole. I blink, and I wake up from the nightmare of mud and mire to see an angel. Bailey is smiling down at me, her eyes shining with relief and love. Muck from the swamp covers every inch of her, and brackish water drips from her hair. She’s the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen. “Tanner?” she asks, her voice hushed and quiet as though she’s by a patient’s bedside. “Baby? Can you hear me?”

There was no need to look for people that gave her away when she was born or so she thought. As long as she was concerned, they were dead to her. Her grandmother remains the only family she had "So how was your day at the Winstons? Hope you didn't get into any trouble?" her grandmother asked, trying to bring up the topic again "Well, it was o-kay. Uhm you have nice co-workers" Tessa stuttered as she ruffled her grandma's hair playfully. "I should go and eat now" she added quickly, she had to do so, to avoid further questions. Tessa's heart raced as she walked slowly to the kitchen, remembering she had just 24- hours to either say yes or no to the ruthless Aaron Winston.

If Fiona became the focus of everyone’s eyes and had a scandalous private life, it would only ruin Tessa’s personal image. “I'll have Sutton accompany you." Gabriel disliked her clingy habit, and the deep-seated disgust in his eyes was unmistakable. He reached out to pull her hands around him, but she clung to him tightly. Tessa shook her head and whispered, "Gabriel, I read a ghost story about a hospital a few days ago. I'm really scared. Please don't leave, okay?" Her words were delicate and sweet, her voice as melodious as silver bells. But deep down, a surge of hatred arose. She didn't know if she hated Fiona or if she hated Gabriel even more.
