ABOUT GREED (Book 2 in the Seven Deadly Series):
Gather ‘round, love, because I want you. I want what you have, I want what you don’t have, I want more of what I already have. I want. But if you so much as ask for something in return, go ahead and walk away. Know if you want to play in my world, it’s every man for themselves and the weak become mine. Leeches will be obliterated because I make it my job to destroy them. I protect what’s mine and I take what’s yours...because that’s what I do. I want.
My story will not endear me to you and, frankly, I could care less if it does because I’m in this for the money and nothing else. There’s nothing redeeming about me. I’m a corrupt, money hungry, immoral asshole from Los Angeles. I’m every man’s worst nightmare and every girl’s fantasy.
I’m Spencer Blackwell...And this is the story about how I went from the world’s most coveted guy to the guy no one wanted around and why I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.
About Fisher Amelie:
Fisher Amelie is the author of The Leaving Series, Callum & Harper and Thomas & January.

Which in turn she said, 'Hey, get out of here! This is the lady's restroom.' While washing her hands and the embarrassment from her face, she thought they may have had a valid point. So, she took the thousands of hours of writing stories growing up, tucked them into her pocket and began writing and writing and writing.

Excerpt....
Prologue
Greed is a
strange, strange sin.
All you
want to do is acquire. Acquire money, acquire material, acquire time, acquire
energy, acquire attention. The running mantra is “I want, I want, I want” but
that quickly turns to “I need, I need, I need.”
Suddenly there just isn’t
enough time for friends, for family, for anyone. Your goal is to acquire and to
make sure what you acquire stays acquired. Your life depends on it. You don’t
see truth because the truth is shadowed by enormous homes, incredibly fast
cars, in lavish spending. Your life no longer belongs to you, but you are blind
to it all because those around you are seeking the same.
So you
shuffle along at an impossible rate, and you pass the real world around you.
But what
you’ll come to realize, altogether too late, is that it’s never enough. It’s
simply never enough.
Chapter One
“It’s confirmed. Peter Knight of Evergreen won’t approve the
acquisition. You know what to do,” my snake of a father told me, not two steps
into his front door.
“I just got off a seven-hour flight. You can’t let me settle in?
Possibly say hello?”
He stood, watching me, a slight tick in his square jaw. He tucked his
hands into his Italian silk pants. His six-foot frame followed the steps up to
the foyer and stopped a few inches away from my own. We were face to face.
Although I fell an inch shorter, he no longer intimidated me. I knew if I had
to, I could kick his ass.
“Hello, Spencer,” he said, a serpent’s smile spread wide across his
mouth before falling flat. “Get to work. I don’t pay you to sit around. I don’t
care if it is your Christmas break.”
We stayed where we were, each waiting on the other to back down. The
tension was palpable. In the end, his face relaxed and he began to chuckle,
stepping aside and making way for me.
I picked up my bags and headed for my room, giving myself plenty of space to
pass him without touching him.
When I got to the bottom of the stairs, I
changed my mind and threw my bags on the second to last step, intending to pick
them up later. I stretched my muscles, loving the feel of my back popping, and
started for the kitchen.
“Where the hell do you think you’re going?” he asked, still standing
in the foyer, watching my every move.
“If I don’t say hi to Mom and Bridge, they’ll think something’s up,” I
told him and continued on.
