Across the Aisle Series by Xyla Turner

Bernadette: The point of becoming an escort was to pay for my law degree. Period. One more year and a hefty tuition bill had me rethinking my no sex rule with clients. One exception to this rule with one client that changed my entire life. He was rude, opinionated, prejudiced and downright ignorant. For him to have an affinity for a certain type of woman, he surely didn’t know how to talk to them. He knew how to have them screaming his name. Outside of this, my one wish was that he would STFU... moreBernadette: The point of becoming an escort was to pay for my law degree. Period. One more year and a hefty tuition bill had me rethinking my no sex rule with clients. One exception to this rule with one client that changed my entire life. He was rude, opinionated, prejudiced and downright ignorant. For him to have an affinity for a certain type of woman, he surely didn’t know how to talk to them. He knew how to have them screaming his name. Outside of this, my one wish was that he would STFU. We had five nights only and I was counting down to the hour until I wasn’t. Five turned into fifty. Hookups turned into sleepovers. A client turned into a significant other. But how? Why? For goodness sakes, he was a damned Republican! Trent:
 A man over fifty is afforded the privilege to say and do what he wants. Period. The criteria for my escorts were black women. Period. Note: This book is a bit different than a normal Xyla Turner book. It is IR, BWWM, and HEA, but it's a bit darker and really sexy. If you're not easily offended, then this is for you. less

Portia: The man started his very first conversation with me, by asking me for my hand in marriage. That was a negative. Forget that he's a Republican, rude and intrusive. He is also different from any man that I have ever met. Yet, there is a side to him that forces me to pay attention. Not the constant counting, the stupid surveys and his defense of building walls. That is simply annoying, but...there's something about this man... morePortia: The man started his very first conversation with me, by asking me for my hand in marriage. That was a negative. Forget that he's a Republican, rude and intrusive. He is also different from any man that I have ever met. Yet, there is a side to him that forces me to pay attention. Not the constant counting, the stupid surveys and his defense of building walls. That is simply annoying, but...there's something about this man. He’s a different kind of perfect! I'm definitely not marrying him, though. Duncan: The woman is beautiful, smart, and accomplished, but she will not marry me. I had one chance with her, but due to circumstances outside of my control, she no longer will engage with me on an intimate level. She is the only one that I can sleep through the night with...the only one that feels right for someone like me. No one else will do. -- Note: This book, specifically the Hero, is a bit different than a typical Xyla Turner book. It is IR, BWWM, and HEA, but Duncan is his own sort of Hero. I hope you give him a chance. He's a different kind of perfect! BONUS: Read the first chapter of James (Book 3) less

James was written by USA Today Bestselling & Multi-Award Winning Author Xyla Turner Trish: It all started on the train platform... He asked me to vote for him to be a State Representative. I politely declined, then the man had the nerve to ask me for my number. What type of crooked politician was this guy...attempting to sleep around with his constituents? Years later, I find myself face-to-face with the same man, except on his door, it read, U.S. Senator James Klinger... moreJames was written by USA Today Bestselling & Multi-Award Winning Author Xyla Turner Trish: It all started on the train platform... He asked me to vote for him to be a State Representative. I politely declined, then the man had the nerve to ask me for my number. What type of crooked politician was this guy...attempting to sleep around with his constituents? Years later, I find myself face-to-face with the same man, except on his door, it read, U.S. Senator James Klinger. I asked him to support a bill that my company was hired to secure. He, in turn, politely declined. Great! James: There she was again. After losing her on the train platform that day. She was back, and this time, she wanted something from me. I wanted to know her on a deeper level even then, but now I won't let another opportunity pass me by. She was back, and the plan was working until she found out about a political decision I made. This could not happen again. I couldn't lose her. I wouldn't let it. -- Note: Readers should read Book 1, Trent, Book 2, Duncan, Book 3, Duncan's Pride, as those characters are heavily weaved into James. It is IR, BWWM, and HEA.
