Send help and wine. My sister is trying to set me up with the grump next door.
Claire A few hours after losing my job, I get a call from a stranger who claims I’ve inherited property from my father. I assume it’s a scam, because my dad is very much alive. Turns out my mother is the liar.
I board a flight to my bio-dad’s hometown, hoping for answers, but the turbulence is so bad I worry we won’t make it. Declan, the hot, tattooed hunk next to me, is obviously terrified too. When the plane freefalls for half a second, he kisses me with the passion of a man who thinks he’s about to die. He seems to regret it immediately afterward—and we both regret it when we discover he’s my new next door neighbor, a complication neither of us wants.
To make matters worse, it turns out my bio-dad’s cabin is only half mine. The rest belongs to a half-sister I didn’t know I had—Nicole, a pink-haired private investigator and possible psychopath.
If I weren’t unemployed and broke, I’d leave, but this crappy half-a-house is my only possession. So I stay in the hopes that I can convince her to sell. Unfortunately, she seems intent on setting me up with Declan, among other manipulations, and her matchmaking tactics are…extreme.
Declan I came to the mountains to hide and be left alone, and now I’m never alone.
Every time I turn a corner, I run into Claire Rainey. She’s tempting as hell, particularly now that I’ve had a taste of her, but I know better than to wrap her up in my trouble—or get wrapped up in hers.
He’s my older brother’s best friend. The bad boy I’ve been crushing on since I was fifteen. And a total player. But when my dad gets sick, Abel makes me an offer I was not expecting…be his (fake) wife so Dad thinks we’ve found our happily ever after together.

🎧Review🎧
After the way that Miller grew up it has left him inexperienced both when it comes to life and romantic relationships. He is happy with the life he has created for himself but the one thing he is missing is someone to share it with. When it comes to women, he feels awkward and out of his depth so the arrangement he agrees to with Delane will not only give him the experience he needs but maybe show the woman he has always wanted how he feels.
Delane works with Miller but what she really wants is to work on the cars and not be the office staff. She may have a greater knowledge base when it comes to romance, but her practical experience is minimal however she is willing to guide Miller on his journey and she might just find out a lot about herself as well.
The chemistry between them is fiery and the feelings are heartfelt. I enjoyed the performance of the narrators as they brought out the sweet and sexy side of Miller and the adventurous side of Delane.

Each book in the Protection Series can be read as a standalone, but because of character crossover, they are best read in order. Please note this book is for mature readers due to detailed sexual content, foul language, violence, and discussion of abuse.
The conclusion to the Wright duet age gap romance from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde.
Chase Sinclair should be my enemy.
Wrights and Sinclairs don’t mix. Not with years of history and turmoil between our families. A rivalry that only seems to fester and corrode with time.
Except I’m done denying what I want.
We both are.
Just when we think we have it figured out, it all blows up in our faces.
But we’re determined to make this work. Even knowing that the road ahead is uncertain. And everyone wants us to fail. At least we’re doing this together.
Everything is on the line. Our friends, our families, our careers. And we’d give it all up.
He may be from the wrong family, but he’s my Wright person.

Then she suggested our date take place in a hot tub and everything got harder. Literally.
See, as a single mom with a new business, Daphne was in desperate need of a fun, sexy, one-night stand—and I was more than happy to deliver. That should’ve been the end of it.

Choosing Daphne could cost me everything I’ve been working so hard for. What remains to be seen is whether any of it will be worth a damn thing if I lose her…
