Sshh…can you keep a secret?
If youβre hiding in the dark,
How long βtil you leak it?
If you really must tell all
How far can we sweep it?
If you lay down the gauntlet
Can you make us leap it?
You know who we are
You know what we did
Will you keep it to yourself
Or will you lift the lid?
Sshh…can you keep a secret?
HONEY
Psstβ¦want to know a secret?
Itβs big, itβs bad, itβs ugly
And I donβt think I can keep it
If I tell and you find out
Your wrath, you will heap it
The tide will turn, you will learn
And now you shall reap it
I know who you are
I know what you did
Will I keep it to myself
Or will I lift the lid
Psstβ¦want to know a secret?

βStop lying to yourself. This is on as itβs ever been between two people. More, even. And thatβs cool. We fuck. We get all the shit out of our systems. Then we never talk about it, or anything else, for that matter, again. You’ll stay out of my way. Iβll stay out of yours. It will be like it never happened.ββ£
βYouβre insane.β So was I for even kissing this guy. βIβm not having sex with you, anywhere, but especially not here.β I spread my arms, indicating to the clearing weβd stopped at to catch our breath at the end of the uphill hike.β£
βYou keep telling yourself that. Meanwhile, in the real world, this was always going to happen. It was a case if when, not if.β He actually was crazy. βBesides, whatβs insane about two people who have chemistry, fucking because they want to, and because they can? Iβll let you into a little secret, too…This is what bears do in the woods.β He grinned hard, overly pleased with his little joke, which it pained me to admit, was pretty damned funny.β£
Twelve years, two children and a dog later, and sheβs still smitten. All this with a guy she sat next to on a bus for 36 hours! She has toured internationally as a βWAGβ, and her experiences inspire her writing.
Ellisβ love of romance began when she was 11 years old, after a summer spent secretly reading her auntieβs books. Sheβs been a sucker for an alpha hero and strong heroine ever since.
An avid reader, Ellis always knew that sheβd write a book of her own one day. She was right about that. Following a career spanning advertising, marketing, and social media, she finally wrote Catching London in 2017.
She has continued to expand the Heartless Few series beyond Catching London, with releases planned through to 2020. In addition, she has launched a new four-part series, Rough Ink series, set in the sexy world of a New York tattoo studio. Expect the same sexy badass guys, angst galore, witty banter, scorching bedroom scenes, and kickass sassy women; but with a whole new world, and cast of characters to get to know and love. Zed, the first book in the series launched in June 2019.
