Excerpt:
โJust pick a damn side already, Thomas. Either you want me or you donโt. I canโt keep trying to figure it out.โ She threw her words at me like darts, each one hitting its mark.
โThat damn mouth.โ I took a single menacing step toward her, my chest heaving with our exchange. Our faces were inches apart. I could taste her breathโshe was so close. โIt drives me crazy,โ I said as she looked up at me with those big green eyes.
โDo something about it then. Shut it up. Stick something in it. Jesus, Thomas, put me out of my misery already,โ she begged.
Instead of verbally battling any further, I decided to give in.
It was time. But there was still one more hurdle I needed to clear before I crossed this line once and for all and never took it back.
โI canโt do halfway with you, Brooklyn. Not when I have a daughter who adores you. Not when I feel the same way too. And if this is just physical for you, like you need to f*ck me once and get it out of your system, thatโs not enough for me, and I wonโt do it.โ
โJust โฆโ She paused before my words sank in. โPhysical for me?โ she repeated. โYou think I donโt want more than just a wham, bam, thank you, maโam?โ
โWell, do you?โ I asked, needing her to give me the right answer. I felt like my heart might fall right out of my chest if she gave me the wrong one. Vulnerability sucked, but I was already in too deep to get out.
โAre you saying you donโt want to have s$x with me?โ She was teasing me. And avoiding the one question I was desperate for her to answer.
โI want you, Brooklyn; donโt get me wrong. I want to f*ck you in every way possible, and I plan to, but itโs more than that. So much more. And I need to know itโs more for you too.โ
โIt is,โ she said, but it came out in a whisper, which made me feel like she was unsure.
โAre you sure? You donโt sound sure.โ I pushed her harder.
โIโm sure. I want more than just s$x with you, Thomas. And Iโm not going to feel bad about it anymore because Iโm not doing anything wrong by wanting to be with you and Clara,โ she said, and I knew half of those words were for her benefit and not mine.
My poor, sweet, tortured girl.
โNo going back after this,โ I said as I took her face in my hands and punished her mouth with my own.
BLURB:
Thomas O’Grady is the unofficial King of Sugar Mountain. He’s always been untouchable; the kind of man you admire from afar, but don’t get to be close to. So imagine my surprise when I get offered a job working underneath him at his resort. It’s a dream come true… until it isn’t. He’s grumpy, opinionated and judgemental. I want to tell him exactly where he can shove it, but then I meet his daughter…
Nothing matters more to me than my little girl. My world stops and starts with her. Running my family’s resort is a job. Being Clara’s dad is a gift. I wasn’t looking for a relationship, but when Brooklyn walked into my office with her firey red hair and matching personality, all bets were off. I’ve tried to keep it professional, but that woman pushes every single button I’ve got. And hell, I sort of love her for it.
So what am I going to do about it?

Excerpt:
โIโm not Bryceโs girl,โ she says, a point sheโs made clear many times.
Still, I canโt help but hate that guy for having had something with her. And having cheated on her. And spreading stories about how clingy she is, and making her sound like a crazy ex to every other girl he bragged to. He used her as clout, used the fact he dated a famous manโs daughter
as a way to up his own cachet.
โI know,โ I say in a hushed tone. My eyes zero in on her mouth. I feel her breath against my chin.
โIโm nobodyโs girl. I belong to me.โ Her eyes are open, and I lean back a tick to meet her gaze and prove to her that I hear her.
โOkay,โ I say.
Her attention once again dips to my mouth, and her tongue peeks out between her lips. While her left hand twists my shirt into a tighter hold, her right one nudges my chin toward hers, and I bend down just enough for her sweet, perfect mouth to touch my bottom lip. It takes every ounce of self-restraint in my body not to say fuck it and kiss her the way I want to. But Iโd only bust open my stitch and probably bleed all over both of us. So Iโll have to settle for slow.
I indulge in her being in charge of this. She takes my bottom lip between hers and sucks in lightly, her tongue passing along my skin as she holds my mouth to hers. I forgo breathing. In fact, I donโt fill my lungs once after her feet flatten back on the pavement. I definitely donโt draw in air when she unfurls my shirt from her grip. Itโs not until her hand falls from my chin and I let go of her face and look into her almond-shaped brown eyes that I remember air exists at all.
โIโve decided,โ she says, climbing into the driverโs side. I ease the door closed.
โOh, yeah? Whatโs that?โ My eyes donโt know where to focus. What mental pictures to snap most. Her mouth. Her face. The stray blonde hairs blowing across the bridge of her nose. Back to her mouth.
โI like you, Wyatt Stone. Quite a lot, I think.โ
The full grin sneaks up on me, and I wince when it stretches my stitch.
I touch the spot with my fingertips and Peyton giggles, then promptly
rolls up her window and drives away.
Blurb:
Football has been my life. Not that I ever had a choice in the matter. When your dad is a retired, future Hall-of-Fame quarterback, the gridiron tends to weave its way into your DNA.
I always loved the game, but I could do without the spotlight that comes with being Peyton Johnson, the great Reed Johnsonโs daughter. To make matters worse, when my dad retired from the NFL, he decided his second calling was to take over the head coaching gig at my high school, where he has coached my boyfriend for the last three years.
Correctionโmy ex-boyfriend.
While the fairytale high-school sweetheart story may have worked for my parents, I have other plans. And following a self-absorbed athlete to college is not part of them, no matter how hard my dad tries to push me and my ex together.
Thankfully, a new high school opens and draws a line through the center of our town, sending half of my dadโs players to a new team. And apparently, their new quarterback is breaking all of my dadโs old state records. Itโs the ultimate distraction, giving me the chance to land myself a spot on the cheer team at any college that isnโt close to home.
But then I meet him. Wyatt Stone. The guy my dad considers our enemy. The best quarterback Iโve ever seen. A complete jerk who I canโt quit thinking about. And running into. And rooting for.
Now, Iโm the one who is distracted. And repeating my parentsโ love story doesnโt sound so bad after all.
