The Alpha’s Wife

Moonlit Secrets 1

FORGOT TO SAY GOODBYE

S.L. Scott

Release Date: August 17

Noah Westcott should come with a warning: Too Hot to Handle!

The man is stunningly handsome with his embracing brown eyes and lips that make me want to kiss that smirk right off his face.

How could I resist?

Spoiler: I didn’t.

That was my first mistake.

I blame him for the second. It should have been easy and fun. No strings attached. No feelings. As if he commanded it like he did me in the bedroom, I did exactly what I said I wouldn’t. I fell for him.

Two years later, the same man walks into my life. Again. A lot has changed. Not his devastating good looks, or that smug grin, but for me everything.

Now that Noah’s back—in my office and hanging around after hours—I can’t get distracted. I must protect my secret—the one who calls me Mommy.

Acacia Ashley has one love: the written word. Specifically the rich, earthy, prose of Mr. Ernest Hemingway. Her love for Hemingway goes so deep that she opened a bar in his honor. Every year in July she plays host to Hemingway Days in Candy Cane Key, and every year she has to stay on guard in case Edwin Wheeler decides once again to find a way to ruin the solemnity of the occasion.

Edwin Wheeler doesn’t care about books or old men, but the sea? The sea is where he spends his days in search of the almighty dollar. But when he grows bored of plying tourists with fruity drinks, he’s often found needling the resident bookworm, Acacia. She’s hated him ever since the incident four years ago. Why does getting a rise out of her give him a bit of a rise as well?

When the bell tolls signaling approaching stormy weather that threatens both of their businesses, the pair realizes a farewell to arms may be the best way to avoid a dangerous summer.

Excerpt 

Copyright 2023 Willow Sanders

It was much easier to ruminate over one’s nemesis when he wasn’t ten feet away. The other problem? The way he doted on and cared for his mother was literally catnip. Lady Kitty catnip, not like, for Six- toed Joe. The second his mom shivered, he was there with her cardigan. She coughed, he had her water at the ready. He repeated what MariJo’s nephew and niece said, but louder and in the direction of her good ear, without making it obvious he did it for her benefit.  How could someone who was such an asshole be so sweetly attentive to his mother? It didn’t compute.

“What if we served a buffet of Hemingway-inspired appetizers?” Asher asked, his bushy eyebrows the only thing I could make out over the clipboard he referenced.

“Now wouldn’t that be a hoot?” Edwin flipped a fifty onto the counter. “I’m sure no one in the history of Hemingway-inspired bars, restaurants, parties, or events has ever thought to offer a little canape dipped in literary puns.”

Asher lifted an eyebrow in his direction as if to ask me is he for real? Unfortunately, yes, he was. The two of us had a War and Peace length conversation in silent eye rolls and quirks of lip before Asher heaved a dramatic sigh and placed his clipboard on the counter.

“I believe it was the great Oscar Wilde who said sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.”

 Edwin nabbed a cherry from my garnish center, shrugging in Asher’s direction. God, he was ridiculous. He never took his eyes off me, even though the shrug was directed at Asher. Did he want me to chastise him for stealing a cherry? Because of the list of things I could chastise the man over, being a cherry stealer was low on the list.

“What can I do for you Edwin?”

I tried to be as subtle as I could, affixing the plastic top to the tray of garnish. It was a place of business after all. Sanitation was important. Certainly, no one wanted his grubby, work-roughened fingers anywhere near their drinks.

“Now there’s a statement heavy with possibility.”

Edwin Wheeler did not get to do funny things to my nervous system. No ma’am. The way his voice went soft and gravely did not affect the steady, reliable thrum of my pulse. And his tipped lip or the mischievous glint in his eyes did not make my face feel hot. I’d rather succumb to food poisoning from bad fish than have him be the reason I felt flushed and a little woozy.

“Did your mom call up your cousin and ask him to come for a playdate? That was so considerate of her. This way you have someone who is obligated to tolerate your company every day while your boat’s boo-boos get all patched up.”

At that moment, the sexy version of Santa Claus, also known as Edwin’s cousin, took a seat next to him at the bar and regarded me.

“How’s that champagne coming along?” he asked his cousin.

“This here’s Klaus.” Edwin cocked his head.

“Bottle or glasses?” I asked, ignoring the flirty challenge in Edwin’s eyes. “The bottle is probably the better choice as you’ll get four glasses out of it for thirty dollars versus four glasses of champagne at nine fifty a piece which would be thirty-eight, before tax.”

Edwin’s eyes flit to the fifty he had sitting in front of him and back up to look at me. Though that didn’t really answer the question. Regardless of which he chose, the fifty covered it and then some.

He didn’t get to win. It was my bar. If I were a petty person, I’d pour four glasses and charge him the per-glass rate. If he wanted to play Mr. Unaffected, James Dean cool, and answer me in smirks and eyebrow lifts instead of words, fine. I’d show him.

Reign is a man who is conflicted between what he wants and what others will think. He is in love with both Alani and Hudson however he believes that loving them could cost him his family.

The chemistry between them was intense and the surprises keep coming which will have you invested in the characters and their story. Reign, Alani and Hudson are all intriguing characters, and they show not only how strong they are but their relationship as well.

I am enjoying this series and looking forward to other stories centered around Crestwood Prep.

BLURB:

He’s an inked baseball bachelor with a bad-boy reputation. The groom’s brother. And my unexpected and unwelcome cabin roomie in the Montana boonies.

I didn’t know bridesmaid responsibilities were cryptic for meltdown prevention, but if my best friend needs someone to live on location for her dream wedding to go off flawlessly, I’m down for the task.

Even if it means living in the Montana boonies for the summer.

Even if the host ends up being Blaze Malone, the groom’s brother, the bad boy baseball bachelor, and my secret crush for, well, forever.

Even if Blaze isn’t supposed to be there, and we have to share the only bed in the one-bedroom cabin, which might just prove to be too much for even me.

Not only does he push my “on” button effortlessly, clearly thinking clothes are a waste of time in the heat, but he’s bottle-feeding an orphaned foal, and he insists on sharing his delicious catered meals with me, mostly by candlelight.

But why is the bride still on the verge of a meltdown?

Angry.

Wild.

Loose cannon.

As one of college hockey’s most feared defensemen, I’ve been told I’m all those things and more. The ice is the only place where I can take my anger out on other people and get applauded for it.
The rougher I play, the dirtier I am, the more praise I get.

I suppose the same could be said about me in the bedroom.

I’m not the dude you want your daughter bringing home to meet you. Because your angel? Well, I’ll make sure her halo is crooked by the time I’m done with her.

But I’ve met my match. The one who won’t be so easy to leave behind.

And the thing with Bria Collins? She’s nobody’s angel.

But just because she doesn’t wear a halo … doesn’t mean she can handle my darkness.

🏒Review🏒
Brody is a force on the ice however off the ice he appears to be living the dream. He is a great teammate, a loyal friend and charming when it comes to the ladies. When he meets Bria he was only looking for some fun but when she initially only offers friendship he is willing to take what he can get.

Bria is still trying to heal from her past and that means ensuring that she doesn’t repeat the mistakes she made. When she meets Brody, she senses a kindred soul, and it is only a matter of time before friendship turns into so much more especially when she sees what he is determined to hide from everyone.

Brody and Bria take us on a heartfelt journey as they both have emotional scars that affect their decisions and their actions. The interactions between them were humorous and hot but it is the way they understand and are there for each other that will touch your heart.

ABOUT HANNAH GRAY
Hannah Gray spends her days in vacationland, living in a small, quaint town on the coast of Maine. She is an avid reader of contemporary romance and is always in competition with herself to read more books every year.

During the day, she loves on her three perfect-to-her daughters and tries to be the best mom she can be. But once she tucks them in at night–okay, scratch that. Once they fall asleep next to her in her bed–because their bedrooms apparently have monsters in them–she dives into her own fantasy world, staying awake well into the late-night hours, typing away stories about her characters. As much as she loves being a wife and mom–and she certainly does love it–reading and writing are her outlet, giving her a place to travel far away while still physically being with her family.

She married her better half in 2013, and he’s been putting up with her craziness every day since. As her anchor, he’s her one constant in this insane, forever-changing world.

BLURB:

Garrett Carter doesn’t date his little sister’s friends. At least not when he knows who they are…

Nichole Daniels is sick of heartbreak and done dating the wrong guys. But when a sexy stranger tempts her with a single night of no-strings fun, she decides to break her own rules, once.

It seems like the perfect exception… until she wakes up beside her bestie’s over-protective big brother and a man with a reputation for being everything Nichole doesn’t want.

💛Review💛
Garrett has been living a life filled with responsibilities between his family, his business and school so he isn’t looking for love or a relationship but rather a fun night with a sexy stranger.

Even though Nichole’s romantic past has been problematic that doesn’t believe she doesn’t believe in love and happy ever after. When she spends the night with a sexy stranger she never expected to see him again let alone to find out they were connected in a way she never expected.

The chemistry between them was never in question but Garrett and Nichole are complete opposites when it comes to their views on relationships which causes some turmoil along the way.
