My mind has a billion thoughts racing through it. Was this hottie lawyer really flirting with me? And had he really just hired me? Was I now gainfully employed? Did I want to be gainfully employed by him?
Max Spector looks like bad news with his big teasing blue eyes, dark hair, and power navy blue suit. The man is the sort of handsome that has your panties off before you can say panties. He’s so handsome that I would trade in my practical Hanes bikini panties for slinky thongs. But only for one night. I’d make him rip it off me with only his teeth. The very thought of Max’s mouth against my ass is turning me on, far more than it should be.
“Sorry, what did you say?” I blink as I gaze at this expectant expression. I’ve completely forgotten what he just said because my mind was in the gutter. Maybe working for him was not going to be a good idea.
“Shall I show you to my office, so we can get ready for the meetings of the day?” His voice is smooth as whiskey and I shiver slightly at the knowing look in his eyes as he slowing bites down on his lip. Is this man a mindreader? Did he know that i was just this moment imagine his teeth in my asscheeks. “Lila?” He prompts and I nod quickly.
Get your mind straight, Lila Haversham!
“Of course, I’d love to get straight to work, but don’t I have to fill out some paperwork first?” I peer up at him, a sweet innocent smile on my face. I am not going to let this guy know I’m taking mental snapshots to think about tonight when I go to bed.
“You can do it on your lunch break. I’ll have HR bring the requisite forms to my office.”
“Doesn’t seem like much of a lunch break if I’m filling out W2’s.” I tilt my head to the side. “Also, I don’t even know my salary.”

As the feelings between them escalate so does the intrigue part of the story and both are sure to keep you guessing.

From USA Today Bestselling author, Alex Grayson, comes a dark, spicey Tarzan retelling…
I went into the wilderness in search of the person the town calls Wild Man.
Living on his own since he was a small boy, he raised himself.
When I found him, it wasn’t the experience I expected. He wasn’t what I expected.
A savage, more animal than man. Pure instinct was how he survived.
With his hand wrapped around my throat, he said only one word.
“Mine.”
Then he took me to his tree hut and wouldn’t let me go. He kept me naked and tied me to him with a rope. He was an anchor around me while I slept. He fed me by hand and forced me to bathe him.
Those are the tamer things he did. The others were much more… explicit.
I didn’t want to be there. I didn’t want his touch, although my body called me a liar.
He’s a primitive uncaged animal who claims I’m his, and he’s hellbent on getting me pregnant.
No matter how much I fight him, he’ll never let me leave. I was his and he’d do anything to keep me.
Maybe in the end, he’ll make me just as wild as him.
And it’ll be me who won’t let him go.

The only thing I admire more than the old farmhouse next door is the guy who owns it. My best friend’s brother.
I didn’t mean to give my hot neighbor a full peep show when my puppy locks me outside in nothing but a towel. Yet Austen Knight pretends he didn’t see everything and offers me an interior design job—help him renovate the farmhouse I’ve adored since I was a kid.
I’m a single mom trying to run a business in a small town. I can’t be alone with Austen day in and day out without igniting rumors that could hurt the career I’ve worked so hard for. But I need the money, and he’s leaving after the house is done and goes on the market.
Turns out, renovating with him is fun. Working with him is addicting. And I look forward to our cold beer together after a long day. When works turns to pleasure, I should put a stop to what we’re doing, it’s not professional, but I can’t.
Austen reignites something in me that I left behind long ago. He’s become so much more than my friend’s brother and my neighbor, but he’s going to be gone soon. Guys always leave in the end. I’ll be a struggling single mom again, and he’ll be nothing but a fearless memory.
A single dad, small town romance with a grumpy CEO and the sweet as pie nanny. From dynamo writing twins Mackenzy Fox and Dakotah Fox.
That rainy night, when my wife walked out, changed my life forever.
Not just mine.
Our daughter’s too.
All of a sudden, I was a single dad with a newborn.
Nothing could’ve prepared me for the years that followed.
The heartache and answers to questions that never came.
After a while I thought I could be the bachelor forever.
It blocked the pain, ensuring nobody got too close.
My heart was safe.
And it worked.
At least a while.
Until Skye Hendry came to Stoney Creek.
The sister of my childhood best friend, Travis. They moved away when we were young.
But now she’s back, she’s the talk of town. And when we meet… fireworks go off.
I’m attracted to her instantly, before I even realize who she is.
I want her. Badly.
But she’s off limits.
Not only is she smart, beautiful and a ray of sunshine, she’s also my new nanny.
Can I really have her as my nanny when I can’t stop thinking about what I want to do to her?
Trying to juggle work at the family distillery, and raising my daughter has never been easy, but having Skye around makes my cold heart soften. She does things to me that no other woman has been able to do in so long. She makes me feel alive. And she’s amazing with my daughter.
But I can’t show her how I really feel, not when she has another job offer after the summer.
Then she’ll be gone. Forever.
No matter how much I crave her, I know I won’t survive the fallout.
The shards of my heart would be shattered forever. Clawing my way back isn’t an option.
Not this time.
But neither is letting her go…
The Bassett Brothers Bourbon Distillery; Stoney Creek’s very own pride and joy, and the heart and soul of a small town Tennessee family business.
I didn’t wake up one day and decide to be a Disney princess, but for the last six months, I’ve been living the dream. Of course, that dream includes screaming little girls at birthday parties every weekend. At least there’s cake.
When my roommate offers to cover my share of the rent if I work her friend’s little girl’s party, I don’t hesitate. Only she forgets to mention a few things. Like that I would love the birthday girl the moment I met her. Or that the man who let me down seven years ago would crash the party. And she definitely didn’t say anything about the jerk single father who just happens to be the hottest man on the planet.
Paxton Foster is nowhere close to being Prince Charming. But he sure does spend a lot of time rescuing me.
Paxton
No amount of money could make up for the mistakes of my past, but I’ve been trying. And then Brooke stormed into my life like a Category 5 hurricane, turning everything in my world upside down. Yet suddenly, it seems right side up for the first time.
There are a billion reasons why I can’t have her. I have secrets. She’s far too young. And then there’s the small matter of her hating my best friend. But she is exactly what my daughter and I need, and I’ll do whatever I have to in order to keep her. With Brooke, I feel as if I can finally find redemption.

Ricky Dunn is the equivalent to a splinter under my fingernail.
Romantic?
Right.
He’s the older brother of my best friend, and no matter how hard either of us try, we can’t seem to avoid each other. The problem started on the night my best friend and I graduated from high school. The party was joyous, a celebration.
That night, I willingly gave Ricky a part of me—more than the kiss we told others about.
Our deal was simple.
No strings.
Ricky kept his side of the bargain.
Years have passed.
Being from the same small town and crossing paths, I haven’t noticed how handsome he’s become or the way he’s filled out.
If you ask me, he hasn’t noticed me either.
Until he calls.
I’m working for a finance company, one he’s now interviewing for.
“Marilyn, will you be my date for the dinner with the partners? It’s only for one date and no strings.”
The problem is my heart hasn’t kept my side of our bargain.
I want at least one string.
Do I agree to his proposal, or do I turn him down flat?

I kept my nose clean. Bad publicity was the last thing you wanted, and I’d had my share since my last breakup went public. We’d also just lost our last five games.
The boys and I decided to head to the islands for a little R&R. I’d never been so happy for a break. That was where I saw her. She didn’t seem to recognize me, which made it better, so I made my move. We didn’t exchange names or numbers. We shared one carefree night, that was all I wanted and that was all it was supposed to be.
A few months later, regret from that night had almost eaten away at me. I hadn’t been able to get her out of my mind. I wouldn’t say I fell in love with her, or maybe I did. All I knew was that night was the closest I’d ever come to insta-love and I wanted more but we’d had our fun. Yet, I was still mentally kicking myself for at least not getting her name.
We’re about to head into the playoffs when I return home and that is when the universe decides to bring us back together in one of the worst places ever. Only this time won’t be like the last, I decide I won’t let her slip through my fingers. This time, I’ve promised myself nothing, and all bets are off.

There are only a few rules I live by: enjoy life, smile as often as possible, and don’t ever let a woman come between friends.
Oh and hockey is life.
For the past forty years I’ve done an excellent job at every single one of them.
Until Millie Hall.

Hiding our relationship from not only her father but my brothers, nearly impossible.
But my best friend makes it incredibly difficult to walk away from his daughter when he keeps thrusting her in my direction.
As a single dad, I have a whole set of new rules, but one thing remains, falling for Millie Hall would be a major puck up.

One letter changed my life.
One night with him might change my forever.
Inheriting a beach house in a small town you’ve never heard of is less than ideal.
Falling for the broody bar owner who hates me because he wants the house? Even worse.
I came to Carrington Cove for one reason—to renovate the home I knew nothing about, sell it, and get back to my life in D.C. and my multi-million dollar business.
There was nothing on the agenda about falling for Dallas, the sexy former Marine who chastises me about my manners and withholds how to fend off the murderous geese on my property.
Fighting with him becomes our own messed up form of foreplay. But his tongue? Turns out it has other talents than just sparring with me verbally.
Our banter turns to moans in the dark, our arguments turn to learning more about each other, and the closer we get, the more I question whether I’m meant to stay here with the man I’m falling for.
Until one night, I realize that he and I share a connection neither one of us could have seen coming.
Would I leave this town feeling more lost in my life than ever before?
Or was it possible that I finally found somewhere I belong?

Ellison Mills was my childhood best friend, something I thought would last forever. Until she left Blackstone Falls and didn’t look back.
The rich girl, prim and proper, and way out of my league, Ellison was never meant to get caught up with a farm boy like me – but that didn’t stop us growing up.
She was wild back then, always looking for trouble – not that anyone would ever believe it.
We should have had a real chance at love. Instead, I was forced to let her go and she’ll never know why.
Ten years later, Ellison is back in town and it feels like she never left. She still makes my heart race and my blood run hot. And catching her skinny dipping or climbing through my bedroom window is only the beginning.
Being with Ellison and owning the farm are all I’ve ever wanted and now that I have her, I won’t let anything jeopardize our future.
So when her father shows up on her doorstep, I’ll do everything I can to keep the peace.
But the secret he’s keeping will shake Ellison to her core, rocking the foundation we’ve worked so hard to build.
This time, I’m way past falling. All I can do is hold on tight, and hope I can catch my girl before she hits the ground.
