Cowboy knows without a doubt that Sully is a girl that he recently found out was kidnapped as a toddler after being involved in an accident with her parents.

He slowly builds her trust, as she is new to everything and trusts no one after the years of abuse on the cult compound.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">This book will have you in tears one minute and laughing the next.

None of that would be possible without the help of Joey’s beautiful and selfless aunt Tara, who’s going to be staying with them over spring break and who he’s been thinking about in ways he shouldn’t. But Tara’s older sister is Joey’s birth mother, and she’s the last woman the dirty-talking biker should want to get his hands on.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Tara Osten has been crushing on Levi for as long as she can remember.

Step one: Buy her own place and start dating. Step two: Survive spring break without falling harder for the one man she can never have.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sneak Peek, https://melissafoster.com/always-her-love-sneak-peek/</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Goodreads link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/60103217-always-her-love</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Goodreads series link: https://www.goodreads.com/series/282375-the-steeles-at-silver-island</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYf0XFYEX5HpUwiPAuH0hSSCt_cxk6EBLLjqy0IBxSC4EW_toguDf7m9HCbLrZJQTri3jXARToGkR2RU2WaGCrvNvohO_mfCSvOvVKKIJcabhjW-p8eiovRG4c8tkgs8WgALqxMvdZklYo_fha7QCBlkkOIVjkDooTpCtgQNt2t7x9at_hiFrKKuE/s1200/MyThoughts2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYf0XFYEX5HpUwiPAuH0hSSCt_cxk6EBLLjqy0IBxSC4EW_toguDf7m9HCbLrZJQTri3jXARToGkR2RU2WaGCrvNvohO_mfCSvOvVKKIJcabhjW-p8eiovRG4c8tkgs8WgALqxMvdZklYo_fha7QCBlkkOIVjkDooTpCtgQNt2t7x9at_hiFrKKuE/s320/MyThoughts2.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">Levi and Tara have known each other practically their whole lives.

The last thing she expected was for nature to play dirty and get stuck with him.<br /><br />Zara might be the most annoying woman on the planet.

physiotherapist, Frankie Jones, is offered the job of a lifetime, she
decides letting go of her grief and moving on is exactly what the doctor
ordered. But when she comes face to face with a sexy and irresistible
blast from her past, she realises that this time she just can't walk
away.<br /><br />Even if it means stirring up old memories and pain...<br /><br />
Assertive and controlling CEO, Alex Blackmore, is shackled to
obligations--obligations he didn't necessarily want. But now that
Frankie is back in his life, he knows exactly what he does want--and
will have. As their relationship intensifies, Alex's worlds collide and
their past resurfaces, threatening to destroy what they're both working
toward--letting go and moving on. Can Frankie and Alex fight their
demons and embrace the future they're FATED for?</span></span></div>

from England to help in the rehabilitation of Nathan Blackmore - a
motorbike racer and brother to Alex Blackmore, a high powered CEO and a
man from Frankie's past she really doesn't know about. <br /><br />When
Frankie finally comes face to face with Alex, she now knows the
connection and the hurts from her past come rushing in. What she doesn't
know is that Alex has been a part of her life for a lot longer than she
knew... and with all the circumstances around them, it's like they were
fated to be together.<br /><br />But things don't always work out the way you want them to... And is Alex all that he said he is?<br /><br />Such
a great story line that kept me turning the pages and so happy that
Nathan's story is already published so I could dive right in! If you are on KU - both books are in the program so you can read them for FREE.</span></span></span><br />

love Penelope Ward and her writing. She has just the right mixture of
romance and angst that it's impossible to put a book of hers down once
you start.<br /><br />Damien and Chelsea were magic together - even from the start when the didn't start off on the best foot. <br /><br />This
is a must read that will leave you smiling throughout the book. And the
secondary characters - Jade and Ty and the Double D's (I'll let you
find out who they are) are just as amazing. And I secretly hope there is

on a mission to reinvent myself. So when a super hot guy boards the
plane and flashes his rock hard abs, I pay attention. When he sits next
to me and offers me his nuts, I can’t resist. But when I choke on them
and he tells me I need to work on my gag reflex, I realize I might be in
over my head.<br /><br />Before I know it we’re in the lavatory and
attempting to join the Mile High Club. Let me just say this...anyone who
tells you it’s easy to get it on at 37,000 feet isn’t telling you the
truth. After the flight attendant busts us for getting frisky in the
air, the only thing that can ease my total and complete mortification is
the simple fact that I am never going to see him again.<br /><br />Hours later, I can’t help but wonder if fate will ever allow me to become a new version of myself.<br /><br />Because Fate, she’s a fickle bitch.<br /><br />Case in point...my seatmate is my new next-door neighbor.<br /><br />Even with the whole fate thing we have going on, we are <i>so</i>
not meant to be together. He’s all cool and sexy in that make love not
war kind of way. Guys like him are dangerous. With that
bring-you-to-your-knees body, that handsome-as-hell face, and that
dirty, dirty mouth, I guarantee one glance from him wets every girl's
bikini bottoms.<br /><br />And then there’s me…the quirky girl looking to
find herself in California. All I want to do is learn to let loose. Say
words like peace and groovy. Bury my toes in the sand. Who knows, maybe
even have sex on the beach.<br /><br />Unable to get him out of my head, I
entertain the thought of being more than just friends. I know the idea
is absurd. And yet, I go with it. You see Camden Waters gets me. <i>Really</i> gets me. Like no other guy has before.<br /><br />On
this 7-mile stretch of paradise, I decide to keep things simple and
just have fun...that is until fate decides to screw with me, <i>again</i>.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

fiancé died in a heartbreaking accident, Drew McGovern decides to honor
his memory by joining his old storm-chasing buddies on their latest
excursion. What she’s not so sure about, however, is whether she’s ready
to move on. Drew wasn’t expecting to feel the powerful pull of desire
toward Colby’s best friend. But there’s no denying the intensity of
their connection . . . or the heat he inspires in the parts of her that
are still very much alive.<br /> <br /> Aiden O’Neal doesn’t trust himself
around Drew. He’s wanted this girl for a long time—long enough to
remember the stab of jealousy he felt the first time he saw her in
Colby’s arms. Now he’s trying his best to behave himself. But when the
wind starts blowing and the adrenaline starts pumping, Aiden can’t
resist the urge to claim Drew as his own. Because when it comes to
desire, he’s hoping to make lightning strike twice.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span class="readable reviewText"><span id="freeTextreview1631616119">First
off, let me say that I am a HUGE fan of Brenda's writing. I have been
with her since the beginning and I have to say that Blown Away is her
best piece of work yet. I was totally enthralled with the story line and
the emotions of Drew and Aiden. I absolutely could not put this book
down. I stayed up late and read this all in one sitting.<br /><br />Drew is
ready to finally start her life. After having helped her younger sister
and brother graduate high school and move on to college, it's now her
time. In less than two months she will be marrying, Colby, the man of
her dreams and finally getting away from the mother that stopped caring
after her husband died 10 years ago. Colby lives a dangerous life,
chasing storms across the tornado alley with his best friend, Aiden...
and one night on the way home from a chase, Colby is struck down by a
driver while he was changing a tire for a lady on the side of the road.<br /><br />Now
a year later, Drew is ready to do something with her life. The past
year she's be mourning the loss of Colby and she's ready to move on. So a
chance meeting with Aiden one day, set her on an adventure she never
thought she would do - joining the chasing team that Colby was a part
of.<br /><br />Aiden has always lusted after Drew, even when she was dating
Colby. It wasn't that he didn't think Colby was good enough for her, he
just always had a feeling that Drew could have been his. Now that she
was sitting in his truck, day in and day out. He knows that hooking up
with Drew could lead to something so much more, something he isn't ready
for and doesn't want to put Drew through. But after their time
together, things start to change and Aiden starts to see that maybe
things could work between the two of them, if only they could let go of
the ghosts of the past they both seem to be pulling along with them.<br /><br />I
loved Aiden and Drew. Both had been through so much in their lives,
both afraid of what could be next. Colby seems to be the third wheel
that will be with them no matter what. The push and pull between these
two is through the roof. I loved every minute of this book.</span></span></span></div>

<span class="readable reviewText"><span id="freeTextreview1746766843"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I
had big hopes for this series after reading From This Day Forward
(#0.5) and To Have and to Hold - was everything I was looking for and
more. Lauren Layne has a hit on her hands with this series and I just
want more and more!<br /><br />Brooke Baldwin is new to the Wedding Belles -
Wedding Consultants extraordinaire of New York City. She's moved across
the country from California after the biggest wedding of her career
crashes and burns - Her own. She's ready to start over and make a new
life and New York City seems like the place to do that.<br /><br />On her
first day she lands one of the biggest accounts - Hotel Heiress - Maya
Tyler. What she didn't expect was her overly controlling big brother
Seth Tyler to throw kinks and curves into all of her plans. He doesn't
know anything about his sister's fiance and he's going to get the facts
before his sister walks down the isle... but can he get the gorgeous
wedding planner to help him uncover what's really going on?<br /><br />The
sexual tension between Brooke and Seth radiates from each and every
page. The push and pull between them keeps the pages turning making you
want more and more.</span></span></span><span class="readable reviewText"><span id="freeTextreview1746766843"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This series is definitely one of my favorite of the year!</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Dylan is the type of Alpha male I love to love. He's strong and domineering yet has a soft and sweet side that make you swoon.<br /><br />When
Dylan meets Tiffany Winters at the bar his brother Mick is getting
married at, he's ready for the sexy blond vixen who seems to give as
good as she gets. Tiffany is all about the one night stand. She's too
busy for relationships but Dylan Bad seems to be just what she needs. <br /><br />A
detour finds the pair going to the hospital instead of a bedroom, where
Tiffany finds out Dylan is already a part of her life, knowing her
brothers and colleagues of hers. Dylan sees a challenge is the spitfire
sports agent and he's ready to ride in on his white stallion to save the
day, except maybe Tiffany isn't the one who needs saving.<br /><br />The
two have an unconventional relationship that seems to work for the two
of them and as their walls start to fall, they both start to see what
was missing in both of their lives in order to be living a life to its
fullest.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Melissa Foster writes the most addictive books with
brazen alpha males and strong, solid female leads - Dylan and Tiffany
are hot hot hot. Although all of her books can be read as standalones - I
HIGHLY recommend reading all of her sexy fun reads. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“What’s your pleasure?” he asked with more than a hint of innuendo. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />You. Naked, with your head buried between my legs, to start.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Surprise me.” She watched him turn to prepare her drink and checked out the way his dark slacks hugged his perfect ass. It had been a long time since she’d found a man this attractive. But Mick Bad’s brother? That spelled trouble.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />A minute later he slid two drinks across the bar. A cocky smile spread across his handsome face. “One Leg Spreader and one All Night Long.” He dragged out each seduction-laden word. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“A little overly confident, aren’t you?” She had no qualms about taking what she wanted—in a boardroom or a bedroom—and Dylan’s confidence was a definite turn-on.<br />He leaned across the bar, and the temperature around them spiked. “I was going to add a Blow Job, but I wasn’t sure how much you could handle.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />She held his challenging gaze. “I think the question is, can you keep up?” </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Dylan!” a guy called from across the room. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Dylan held up a finger in the guy’s direction, his eyes never leaving Tiffany’s. He leaned in so close she could smell alcohol on his breath—and God help her, she wanted to suck the taste off his tongue.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Mark my words, gorgeous, you’ll be leaving here with me tonight.” </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Heat streaked down her spine. “Cocky. I like that. Tell Mick I said congratulations.” She dropped her eyes as if she weren’t hanging on the very thought of devouring him, but couldn’t resist stealing another peek at the tempting beefcake as he walked away. Okay, maybe severallong glimpses, of which he caught two or three and returned with an I-can’t-wait-to-fuck-you grin that had her insides igniting. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />She answered another call and a few text messages, and a short while later, Dylan’s voice spilled like warm cognac over her shoulder.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“You know what they say about wedding hookups?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />She lifted her gaze as he sat on the stool beside her. “What do they say?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“They say they can’t happen if you don’t put your phone away.” Dylan boldly placed his hand on her thigh. Long, strong fingers pressed into her flesh, sending rivers of desire to the apex of her thighs. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />She wondered how big other parts of his anatomy were, and couldn’t help stealing a quick glance. Oh yeah, he was packing major heat. A whiff of his spicy, masculine scent brought all her best parts pulsing to life. His scent alone probably brought more women to their knees than the Pope, but coupled with the sinful promises in his dark eyes, the guy was lethal.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“I don’t put my phone down for just anyone,” she answered, still holding his gaze. His hungry eyes dropped to her mouth, lingering there long enough to make her salivate. “Are you as good in the bedroom as you are behind the bar?” </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“I’ll let you be the judge of that.” He leaned closer, placing his mouth beside her ear. “I’ll even let you hold your phone until you’re sure I’m worth it.” </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Now, that was a plan she could get on board with, except for one minor worry. “You’re my colleague’s brother. I’m not sure you’re the smartest choice for me tonight.” </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He flashed a wicked grin that she was sure opened many bedroom doors. “A gentleman never tells.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“You might just be the perfect man.” Her phone vibrated again. She glanced at it, noting a follow-up email from Allison, and the time. It was nearly midnight. Dylan’s hand traveled further up her thigh, his fingertips sneaking beneath her skirt. He was brazen, and she liked that in a man.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He eyed her phone with a smirk and pressed his large hand to her cheek. His thumb moved over her lower lip and hooked behind her front teeth. Her entire body electrified as he delved deeper, brushing the tip over her tongue.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“When I get done with you, you will have forgotten what that thing in your hand is.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He was smooth, practiced, and knew exactly what he was doing. Thank God. She had so little time for sex, she couldn’t afford to waste it with a guy who needed to be shown. Sliding her purse over her shoulder and still clutching her phone, she turned to step off the stool. His hand traveled even higher up her leg, a fingertip away from brushing over her sex, and she felt herself go damp. Her pulse accelerated with the urge to slide forward on her barstool and let him feel what he was doing to her, but she wasn’t ready to give him the upper hand. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />She casually moved his hand and rose to her feet.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He spoke in a greedy voice directly into her ear. “We’re going to have to change your name.” He swung his jacket over his shoulder and guided her toward the door.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“You’re far too hot for Winters.” He pushed the door open and lowered his mouth to her neck, grazing his teeth along the base—the absolute most sensitive spot on her entire body—and sending shivers down her spine. “From now on, you’re my Summers.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />As her body flamed and her insides melted, her mind struggled to figure out how he knew her name and to deny what he’d just said. She was no man’s anything. She turned to tell him just that, and he backed her up against the brick wall. A cool breeze sailed over her skin as he grabbed her wrists and pinned them beside her head, trapping her between the wall and his hard body. He claimed her mouth with fierce domination. The way he ate at her mouth and his hips gyrated against hers with no care about being out in public should have had her fighting harder to regain the upper hand. But the harder she fought to reclaim her rational thoughts, the more she craved him. Every part of her tingled and burned for more. Her nipples tightened to painful peaks, her sex throbbed, and her knees weakened. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d encountered someone so potently male, if ever, and she fucking loved it. Shocked at her own hungry response to his ravishment, she gave in to the unfamiliar thrills racing through her and returned his efforts with reckless abandon. But the more she gave, the softer the kisses became, until his lips were brushing lightly over hers, taunting her. He pulled back with every crane of her neck as she sought more. Still restraining her arms, he put space between their bodies. Cool air whooshed between them, causing her nipples to prickle even more painfully with the need to be touched. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Oh, yes,” he said with a territorial look in his eyes. “You’re my Summers, all right.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />As blood began to flow to her brain again, the realization of her loss of control was staggering. She lifted her chin and wrenched her hands free. Holding his challenging and so-fucking-hot gaze, she grabbed hold of his loosened tie and tugged him in for another scorching kiss. When she felt his muscles relax, she spun him against the wall with a thud, grinning at the shock registering in his gorgeous eyes. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“I’m no man’s anything. But you can be my stress relief for the next hour.” She dragged her hand down his impressively broad chest and over his taut abs, still clutching her phone, and cupped the formidable bulge in his trousers. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“That is, if you can keep it up that long.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">~ Sometimes, one degree is all that separates you from the one you were meant to be with ~</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">Wes Bergman was sex on a stick.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">We’d been circling one another our entire lives, mingling at the same clubs... attending the same events…sharing mutual acquaintances…yet we’d never actually met.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">Until . . . we both boarded a Windjammer Cruise in the Caribbean. And it was like meeting my long, lost best friend for the first time. I hadn’t ever connected with a guy that way before.</span>
<span style="color: black;">But Wes had a girlfriend. So, when the week was over, he walked off the ship, unknowingly taking a piece of my heart with him.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">Now, over a decade later, newly divorced, I’m the proverbial fish out of water. Dating has totally changed. Apps. Swipe left. Swipe right. Catfishing. Men my age want two things: twenty-five-year-olds—like my ex’s new child bride of a wife—or just a quick hook-up.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">After a string of bad dates, I finally did something I never thought I’d do. I had a hot one-night stand with a really handsome guy I met online who didn’t even know my real name.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">Turned out Mr. Fling is a big shot for my company’s newest client. And just my</span>
<span style="color: black;"> luck, that client’s CEO is none other than . . . Wes Bergman.</span>
<span style="color: black;">Now I’m separated by one degree again from the man who stole my heart.</span>
<span style="color: black;">And Mr. Fling could destroy my chance of what I want most – A Do-Over with Wes.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">No expectations. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">No risks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Antonio Giovanni, a fifth-generation winemaker in the rolling hills of Tuscany, is the epitome of temptation. Tall, dark, and handsome with an accent sexy enough to leave a trail of women’s panties in his wake. The man wears charisma like a fine silk suit…flawless and molded to perfection in all the right places, leaving just enough mystery to make you wonder what lies beneath the faultless exterior. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Hope Tidwell, a world-renowned sommelier, is a strong independent woman who fights to have control over every aspect of her life. She makes her own money, her own decisions, her own happiness, and her own mistakes. Her existence doesn’t need to be validated by a man; she refuses to ask for anything except an orgasm, and even those she can manage on her own. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Relationships for most people are as natural as breathing. However, Hope and Antonio are two players who master the art of seduction and the fear of emotional intimacy. When tragedy strikes close to her heart, Hope is fated to do the one thing that terrifies her most.
Destiny reveals the biggest gifts often require the greatest sacrifices.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Antonio and Hope will leave your heart happy. I loved this story so much and as a fan of the Mathews Series - we get a few moments with some of our favorite Mathew family members too.<br /><br />Antonio and Hope have known each other for years, with an on and off relationship that was full of passion whenever the two were in the same country. Hope's last visit with Antonio spurred an offer for her to come to Italy full time and work with Antonio's sister-in-law. Although it's a dream job, she was happy where she was and didn't give it a second thought.<br /><br />Once home, Hope's world is rocked to the core and the only other person she trusts and can find some peace with is Antonio. As Hope moves to Italy and Antonio finds out her secret (which you'll have to read the book to find out - and boy is it a doozie!) Antonio starts to become more than just a trusted friend, which is a scary proposition for both of them.<br /><br />This book made my heart soar. It's a good ole fashion love story. Not a lot of angst, but just the growth of two people how find there true self through each other. I adore Beverly and The Italian is definitely a top read for me.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Jake
Lilliard has always been a gambling man. So far, all the risks he’s taken —
like moving to San Francisco and joining Riley O’Brien & Co. — have paid
off. Now he’s ready to take the biggest risk of all: acting on his feelings for
Kyla Andrews. As a trainee in his department, she’s off limits. But as soon as
Kyla moves on to another job, he is going to make her his. He’s waited long
enough… </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When
tragedy struck Kyla’s family years ago, she started playing it safe. She
doesn’t take risks with her job or her heart, and she refuses to be a cliché –
the foolish woman who falls for her sexy boss. Yet Jake is everything she has
ever wanted, and it’s impossible to resist him and his enticing kisses. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Just when it seems that the
gamble they took will pay off, Jake’s past threatens his future with Kyla. He
knows lady luck is fickle, but she’s always had a soft spot for him. He’s
hoping she won’t turn her back on him when he needs her the most…</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Metal wall sconces illuminated the corridor, throwing pools of golden
light on the dark wood plank floors. A door opened a few feet ahead of
her, and Jake emerged from it. He froze when he saw her, his eyes
widening before he ambled toward her. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />The narrow corridor made her
even more aware of his height and muscular physique, and her body
reacted the way it always did when got close. Her heart began to pound,
and her breathing grew shallow. Suddenly, her throat was dry, and she
swallowed thickly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Stopping right in front of her, he looked
down into her face. His eyes caught the light from the sconces,
glimmering with a million shades of green and gold. They dropped to her
mouth before jumping back to hers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“You’ve got sugar on your lips,” he notified her, his voice low and gravelly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Without thinking, she licked her upper lip. He moved closer, the front
of his long-sleeved dress shirt brushing against her chest. She
nervously stepped back, afraid that she might throw herself at him. He
followed until her back was against the wall. She sucked in a shaky
breath, trying not to let him see how much his nearness affected her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“Not there.” He touched his thumb to her lower lip, toward the corner. “Here.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Dropping his head, he licked the spot where his thumb had been. She
gasped, certain that she was having yet another X-rated dream starring
Jake. When his tongue flicked along the outer edge of her upper lip, she
realized it wasn’t a dream. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“And you’ve got some here,” he murmured, tracing her lower lip with his tongue.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">She gripped his upper arms, his biceps rock hard under her fingers. “What are you doing?” she breathed against his mouth. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> He drew back to stare into her eyes. “I’m not your boss anymore, Kyla.
I’m just a guy who works for the same company you do, and lucky for me,
that company doesn’t have any rules against co-workers dating, even if
they’re in the same department.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">She barely heard a word he said because her ears were roaring with her pulse. “What?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He smiled slowly, and she couldn’t tear her eyes from his mouth. She
clutched his arms tighter, wanting those lips on every part of her
body. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> “I’m not your boss anymore,” he repeated. “I have been counting the days until … until I could …”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“Until you could what?” she whispered.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“Until I could be with you,” he answered hoarsely. “That’s all I want … a chance to be with you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">For Phoebe
Werner, the management trainee program at Riley O’Brien & Co. represents a
new beginning. She’s finally healthy, and she is trying to enjoy life while she
can. She never expects to run into Garrett Gale at a New Year’s Eve party. The
handsome hotelier is the only man she wants… and a reminder of what she can
never have. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Years ago,
Garrett enjoyed one memorable night with Phoebe after months of fantasizing
about her. And then, she disappeared. She ignored his efforts to contact her,
and he did his best to forget her. Now fate has brought her back into his life
and his bed. But who knows how long she’ll stay there? </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">With
Phoebe's fears threatening to ruin their chance at happiness, Garrett must
convince her that they're meant to be. He can't let Phoebe walk away with his
heart again.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I love second chance stories and Garrett and Phoebe's story is a great one. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Garrett and Phoebe <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">were the best of friends, until one night <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">together, and <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Garrett never heard from her again. </span></span></span>It's been three years since Phoebe disappeared on him, and now here she is... at a party looking so different from the girl he hasn't been able to stop thinking about. <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Garrett</span> sees this as an opportunity to reconnect with one that got away. But Phoebe has a secret...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Since this is a novella, you can't really say too much about the book but know that this book gives you quite a story that will leave you addicted to this series.<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Sutton has a way of pulling you into the story, although its a quick read, it's full of heart, hope and great characters.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Garrett picked up his fork, but instead of eating off his own plate, he stabbed a piece of chicken off hers. As he brought it to his mouth, she kicked him under the table, not hard, just a tap. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“If you wanted chicken tagine,” she groused, “you should have ordered it.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Although his mouth was busy chewing, she could tell he wanted to smile. This was their old routine—him eating off her plate, her chastising him, and him offering little tidbits of his meal to repay her. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> <br />Switching his fork for a spoon, he scooped some stew from the orange bowl in front of him and held it up to her mouth. She opened with no hesitation, the whole situation as comfortable and familiar as her favorite flannel nightgown. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He spooned the food into her mouth. As she chewed the flavorful combination of tender beef, kalamata olives, raisins, and garbanzo beans, she got hints of cinnamon and cumin and a little kick of lemon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Oh, that’s good,” she murmured, licking her lips. “Give me another bite.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He didn’t give her what she wanted. Instead, his eyes dropped to her mouth and stayed there for several heartbeats. She watched as his pupils expanded and his irises darkened from bright turquoise to deep teal. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />She had seen that look in his eyes before, but she hadn’t recognized it for what it was. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">She did now. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Suddenly the situation was no longer comfortable. And neither was the ache between her thighs. Feeling a syrupy trickle of arousal into her panties, she silently cursed herself and shifted on the banquette seat. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />She’d known it would be impossible for them to go back to the way things used to be. They had opened Pandora’s Box that night. Or, to be more accurate, they had opened Phoebe’s box. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />They’d released a powerful force into their friendship—desire. And that desire simmered beneath the surface like a dormant volcano just waiting to erupt. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Jack Bannister has always been the "Nerdy" Brother in the Bannister
brood. He has two brothers who play professional hockey and another
brother who has taken over the family construction business. Jack
because of his asthma wasn't able to be in sports like his brother, and
he's been ok with that until Murphy Ryan came back to town.<br /><br />Murphy
was his first love. She use to come and stay at her grandfather's house
during the summer, hanging out with the Bannister Boys next door. And
now she's moved back and on top of that, she's playing on a woman's
hockey team. She's always like the athletic guys, so what's she's going
to see in the geeky accountant?<br /><br />Murphy is happy to be back in
Colorado, especially being a part of the first women's hockey team in
Denver. But it seems her troubles have followed her from Chicago... good
thing she has Jack Bannister to save her.<br /><br />Jack and Murphy were
fun and flirty... in that geeky way. LOL. I hadn't read the other books
in the series, but I definitely will be going back to meet the rest of
the Bannister Brothers! </span></div>

Glasses – There’s something about when a guy takes off his glasses that
is oh so hot! It’s like he’s undressing his face and letting you see his
vulnerable side. <br /> • Smart guys know how to research, and they pride themselves on getting things right. (wink, wink)<br />
• Smart Guys are punny—they know how to use clever word play and
sometimes quote poetry. They also sometimes quote algebraic equations-
but in Jack’s case, it comes out quite romantic. <br /> • Bowties—imagine a hot nerd mixed with a Chippendales dancer <br />
• And lastly, let’s just say: Clark Kent, Felicity Smoak (from
Arrow), Zachary Levi (as Chuck), Ben Affleck (as the Accountant), Jeff
Goldblum (that voice!) and Chris Pine (as Captain Kirk). <br />Well, that ought to put you in the mood for some hot nerd action. <br />I
fell in love with Jack and Murphy as I wrote their story, and I hope
you do too. This book is full of snappy dialogue, a little suspense, and
plenty of sizzle. And if you’re already a fan of the Bannister Brothers
series, you’ll be happy to know that all of the brothers make at least
one appearance in this book, and you’ll get to meet the youngest
brother, Beau. <br />Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my
new book. To keep on top of all my news, including sales and new

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">His eyes widened, and he swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbing in his throat. Frozen in place, he only stared at her as he labored to breathe. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Are you okay? Do you need your inhaler?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Yes. No. Wait.” He pulled in a deep breath. “I’m okay. It’s just that I’ve thought about this so many times. Dreamed of what it would be like. But I never imagined it would be like this. You’re a goddess. You literally take my breath away.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Oh. My. Gosh. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Her heart ached at the pure honesty of his words. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He shook his head, letting out an embarrassed sigh. “Sorry. That’s pretty nerdy, huh? It’s gotta be so sexy to take your top off and have a guy have an asthma attack just from looking at you.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />If you only knew. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />She sat up, pressing him back against the sofa as she straddled his lap. Pushing his hair off his forehead, she gazed into his eyes, trying to match his sincerity. “You just told me that seeing me half naked literally took your breath away. That’s actually sexy as hell.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />A grin tugged at the corner of his lips. A grin so cute that she couldn’t help but smile back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Jack Bannister. You are like no man that I have ever known. I’m sitting topless in your lap, and instead of mauling me, we’re grinning like loons.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />His smile widened. “I know. It’s ridiculous. I want to maul you. Well, I mean I want to everything you. It’s not like I’m normally a real suave guy or anything. But holy hell, when I’m around you, I feel like a gawky teenage boy again that’s never kissed a girl and is completely transfixed by an amazing pair of breasts.” His gaze flicked down to her chest and color brightened his cheeks. “I don’t even know what to do with my hands.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />She cocked an eyebrow at him. “Amazing, huh?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He nodded. “Spectacular.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />His words made her bold, the way he looked at her bringing out her brazen side. “How about this—how about if you stop worrying about what you’re not doing and let’s focus on what we could be doing.” She pushed off his lap and shimmied out of her pajama bottoms. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Reveling in the sharp pull of his breath, she stood before him, wearing only a tiny pair of white lace thong panties. Even though she worked out consistently, no amount of skating could shave off the extra curve of her hips. But tonight she didn’t care. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He’d just told her that he thought she had the body of a goddess. Leaning forward, she took his hand and pulled him up to stand in front of her. “And don’t worry, I have plenty of ideas for what you can do with your hands.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">She was still watching the ambulance, and she nodded absently. “Okay.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He moved in front of her and crouched to get on eye level. “You can go right over and see them at the hospital. Mass General. If you’re not family, they might not be able to tell you much, but if you can get in touch with their families, they can come and sit with you, right?”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">She nodded again but Zach wasn’t sure she’d heard him. He really wanted to know that someone was going to be there with her. Shock in survivors wasn’t uncommon. The that-could’ve-been-me thing could kick in at any moment if it hadn’t already. But there was nothing like seeing someone you cared about hurt.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He put his hands on her arms again, this time rubbing up and down and just ignoring how good her skin felt against his rough palms. Mostly. He needed to comfort her more than he needed to worry about how she made him feel. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“Do you know where Mass General is?” He didn’t love the idea of her driving herself over there. She was clearly overwhelmed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Kiera nodded. “Yes.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“You can get there?” he asked.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">She nodded again.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Okay. So…</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“Zach! Let’s go!” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Zach glanced over at Reed. His co-workers needed help so he was going to be here for a while. He couldn’t be messing around, obsessing about a woman who liked to play dress-up. “Kiera, I need to go but…”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“Yeah, of course.” She shook her head and looked around. “You go.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“But…” But nothing. She was fine, and he was needed by people who weren’t fine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“Okay.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He had the fleeting thought that he wanted to kiss her goodbye. But that was crazy. They’d just met. In the middle of an emergency. No way should he kiss her.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Finally, he let go of her and stepped back. But not touching her didn’t do a thing to make him not want to touch her. He forced himself to turn away and head toward Reed, trying to clear his mind of green and gold sweet-smelling flowers as he went. But when he got about twenty feet from her, he glanced back.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And she was still standing there. Hugging herself. Looking lost. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Fuck. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“I’ll be right there,” he told Reed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Reed glanced back. “Dude…”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“I know.” And he did. He needed to not be distracted. But the only way that was going to happen was if he knew for sure that Kiera was taken care of.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He jogged back to her side. “Hey princess, what’s up?”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">She looked at him, and her look of confusion cleared. That made him feel stupidly good.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“I don’t have a way…” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">She trailed off, and Zach frowned. “You don’t feel up to driving?”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“We brought Sophie’s car, and her fob thingy is with her.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ah. A little issue. “You have someone you can call?” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“I didn’t bring my phone.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“You can use mine.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“No one’s home. I live with Maya and Sophie,” she said. “Obviously, they’re not… there.” </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Her voice wobbled, and Zach worked on not grabbing her and hugging her. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">They’d just fucking met. Hugging and kissing wasn’t appropriate. Dammit.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“How about a cab?”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“I don’t have any money.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He looked her over again, revisiting the curves he realized he’d already memorized. He could give her money for a cab of course. He could get her home. But she’d be home alone. He could get her to the hospital, but they wouldn’t talk to her and she’d be stuck in the waiting room for God knew how long. Alone. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">And leaving her alone was simply something he could not do. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“You need to come with me.” He reached out and snagged her hand before he could tell himself that holding her hand was a bad idea. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Because it was. Her hand felt good in his, and the way she curled her fingers around his tightly and followed him without question felt good. And the idea that he was going to get to spend more time with her felt good. And all of that was bad. And yet, he pulled her along with him through the convention hall and into the heart of the chaos.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> “What are we doing?” she asked.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“I need to go help with some more injured. And I need you to stick with me.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“Me? Why?”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He looked over at her. Her cape floated behind her, and for the first time, he noticed the golden sword swinging at her left hip. Damn. That was kind of hot. “Because you’re a gorgeous kick-ass warrior princess, and the people in here are gonna need some gorgeous kick-ass stuff.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">She looked at him with surprise, but as he held her gaze, he saw something that turned him on even more than her smelling like candy—a spark of determination. She pulled up straighter as she walked, and he felt her hand tighten on his.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“Kick ass. Right. I can do that.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He smiled. “And I could use some help from an interpreter.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“An interpreter? I speak some Spanish but that’s about it.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“You don’t speak geek?” He hoped he wasn’t committing a faux pau in calling her, and all of this, geeky. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But she actually gave him a half smile. “Oh, geek. Yes, I’m fluent.”</span><br />
<br />

afters. She lives in the Midwest with her husband who only wants to read
the sex scenes in her books, her kids who will never read the sex
scenes in her books, and family and friends who say they're shocked by

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There's only one thing worse than dating a friend's sister sleeping with his mother.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Fran DeLuca's known for her bossy, overbearing personality almost as much as for her love of nylon tracksuits. But when someone runs off with fifty thousand dollars, she becomes involved in an ALFA investigation and catches the eye of silver fox biker, Bear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Bear North, ALFA's resident bad boy, has never thought of Fran as anything more than his buddy's mom. When she trades in her elastic pants and orthopedic tennis shoes for a pair of skintight jeans and high heels, he takes notice of the fifty-something MILF.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When the money trail leads closer to Fran than expected, Bear takes charge of the investigation and will do anything to protect her. Can Bear track a thief, claim Fran, and keep Morgan DeLuca in the dark long enough to solve the case?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Wicked Impulse is book 3 in the ALFA PI series and includes a BONUS novella - Men of Inked Christmas.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Murray "Bear" North doesn't have the cleanest slate behind him. Back in the day he was known as the troublemaker and not so great guy. After his wife died during childbirth, he lost all hope of ever loving again. Leaving his two small children with his sisters, he lead a life of crime and even did some time in jail.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">That was then. Now he is turning a new leaf as part of the ALFA PI group and when he meets Fran DeLuca, he thinks he may just be ready for love again too. The only problem is that Fran is his friend Morgan's mom and she seems to find herself in the middle of situation causing the men to go off on a pissing match on who can protect her the best. Morgan knows Bears past and doesn't think he's good enough for his mom. But Bear is out to prove him wrong.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Newly single, Davey has had enough of wasting his love and having his heart broken. Better to be single, he decides. No more dates. No more falling in love. No more dreaming of happy ever afters. Those are for movies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">He’s resolute.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Davey’s so tempted to hope again. But can an online date and a brief encounter turn into anything other than an ephemeral sexual encounter?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Is there a future for them? Will Avery stay? And most importantly, can Davey bear to offer up his heart to the season’s love—just one more time?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">A sweet holiday novella to warm you up.<br /><br />Davey is newly single and
having a horrible day. Late to work, customers being a pain and its the
time of year he hates the most- Christmas. But a surprise meeting with a
man who caught his eye during the day, may just turn his bah hum bug
around.<br /><br />Avery is new to the city and after "meeting" Davey at a
store that day, when he finds him on a dating app, he decides to take a
chance.<br /><br />The chemistry is there from the start with Davey and
Avery. But will Davey be able to get over his past and trust that Avery
isn't going to turn into the love'em and leave'em like all the others.<br /><br />This
was a great quick Holiday read. The only thing that made me not put it
at 5 star was that these were two men from the US and yet they were
using British words... I still don't know what a Jumper is!? But a great
story none the less.

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Chris Ethan is a book whore. He enjoys selling his feelings for money and other pleasures and is blatantly unashamed to do so for as long as he breathes. Chris Ethan is also a persona for Rhys Christopher Ethan, author of fantasy and sci-fi. He uses Chris Ethan to share stories of adult queer romance with those who need it. Before you delve into his books however, be warned. He likes putting his characters through shitstorms and hates anything conventional. But then there’s that darned happy-ever-after. Also, he likes swearing. Deal with it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />There isn't anyone or anything that doesn't want me, that isn't attracted to me. They can't help it. And I sure as hell don't want them to. I live for their lust, I crave touch like an addiction, I make them beg on their knees for one, simple, caress.<br />As a male siren it's my job to feed off emotion.<br />And I was happy to do it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I am happy to do it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />What I'm not happy about? Being told I have to mate with some withering human and stay loyal to that one person for the next few centuries. There's a war coming and being the idiot I am--I offered to take one for the team in order to help a friend.<br />Now my sexual appetite is taking a freaking kick in the nuts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />And I'm left wondering if it's worth it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />If she's worth it, with messy hair and dirty human hands.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />But I have a world to save.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />A job to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Now, if only, she would just let me do it rather than fighting me at every turn. I've lived lifetimes as the most irresistible being on the planet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Only to meet my match.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />With one.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Measly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Human.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />They say hells hot. They're wrong.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Because Hope, my little human, is way hotter.<br />And before this is over--she may just singe me alive.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Alex... Sigh. The Siren has been named as tribune to be the next of the
immortals to be mated, whether he likes it or not. And he thinks he'll
be able to fight it, that is until he meets Hope.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hope has been
working for the immortals, watering their plants of all things, when all
of a sudden she finds her a room as one of the chosen ones for Alex.
The thing is that there is something different about Hope. She's not as
enamored with the beautiful man as most humans and there's something
else...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The book finally gives us the background on Alex that
we've always wanted. The book is intermingled with the signature RVD
humor and passion. I couldn't put the book down! I'm usually not one for
paranormal reads, but The Dark One Series by RVD is perfection!

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">To say I was pissed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />To say I was angry</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />To say I was intrigued.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I couldn’t decide which emotion was going to win out, which made her all the more exciting. Sirens, for the most part, kept their physical appearance at a five. On a scale of one to ten, a five meant that you were clearly above average but not to the point that a person would literally sell a kidney and spleen in order to sleep with you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />No, the selling of body parts came at six.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Seven meant they were willing to commit a crime and sell body parts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Eight was when they neared the wailing stage. I typically called it bartering, where they asked what they could possibly do in order to gain just one taste, anything, anything at all!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Nine was a rarity. I was a nine when I was tired, when I wanted a piece of ass from someone hot, and I didn’t want to make a big fuss over it. But a nine was dangerous because showing myself at a nine made it easier to wipe the individuals’ memories. Meaning I was more than likely cursing them to a life where they would never settle down because they’d be stuck comparing me to some sad human male with a beer gut, and he’d always fall short.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Even the Toms fell short.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Tom Brady.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Tom Hardy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />You get the picture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />In my entire existence, I’ve pulled a nine maybe four times. And each time I felt regretful — after all the sex had never been worthy of ruining some pathetic human’s chance at love.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />And tens?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Tens weren’t done. To become a ten in front of a human would be the equivalent of a human discovering the sweetest tasting sin, the most physical and emotional ecstasy known over and over again. Add that in with good looks that made women, men, plants, atoms — you get the picture — full-on weep, and it just wasn’t done.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Never.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />In fact, some might say it was forbidden.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I’d never been tempted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Until five minutes ago.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I was currently at an eight, flirting with a ten, and she’d finally succumbed enough to fall to her knees, but when she glanced up, she blinked a few times then stood. “Sorry, I don’t know what happened.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />The hell?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I did a double take, my eyes narrowing as she shuddered before me, but still, nothing. No weeping. No sudden burst of adoration.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Nine, here I come.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I exhaled as I allowed my hair to go pure gold and my eyes to turn a shade of amber that looked like a never-ending ring of fire around my blue iris. I released waves of energy that I could see pulsing from my body with each exhale, and I was aware that she was being assaulted with my scent, a mixture of rain, fresh air, and finally a deep sweet chocolate.<br />The most addicting scents known to mankind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />The most cleansing scents to a human.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Her eyes widened as she gulped and then squeezed them shut and covered her face with her hands, her knees knocked together as she swayed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Open your eyes, human!”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“I-I’d rather not,” she said in a weak voice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Now!” The walls of the room shook causing a shriek to explode between her lips, and suddenly she was moving towards me and launching her plump body into the air.<br />Directly onto mine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Mine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />My body.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Without any other option, I braced myself for her impact. Not that she could physically harm me, it was more of a mental brace of, oh shit the woman might be plump, but she moved with the speed of a torpedo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I caught her in my arms.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />The shaking stopped.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Her hands clung to the front of my shirt, her breathing was unsteady, her body sweaty, hot, and curvy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I appreciated all types of beauty.<br />Even hers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I would have preferred a small mate, one that I could terrify into submission — one I had no risk of falling in love with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Because a siren in love — was a dangerous thing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />And a part of me wondered if that was what Cassius had planned all along. In order for me to be at my strongest, I needed to be in love.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Something I’d never experienced in all of my years of living, screwing, and toying with males and females alike.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“What.” I gave her a menacing glare. “The hell, do you think you’re doing?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“I’m scared of earthquakes,” she whispered, licking her lips repeatedly until I thought I was going to go mad with the motion of her tongue sliding across the pink of her mouth. “Terrified, actually.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“This is Seattle.” I was still holding her, for reasons beyond my realm of understanding.<br />“They say the next earthquake is going to be really big and half of downtown is going to slide into the Puget Sound, so excuse me for being scared!”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“And you live downtown?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Well… no.” Her brown eyes focused in on mine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Then you must visit there often?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“No.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I sighed impatiently. “So your fears are completely unfounded and illogical. Simply stop fearing it.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Easy for you to say.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“I tire of holding you, human.” The lie fell easy; in fact, I had forgotten I was holding her until she fidgeted in my arms like she was the offended party, when I was the one who had just been assaulted. “The only thing you need to fear is me.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Because you…” She sighed. “You’re going to sacrifice me?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I tried to hold the laugh in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />But it was all too ridiculous.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Yes.” I nodded seriously, my lips twitching with the urge to smile. “The process will be painless. I’ll tie your hands and feet to the bedposts — strip you naked, and then plunge an immortal sword into your heart. You’ll need to repeat the words ut animam meam and then once you drink my blood — if it accepts you, you will live.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Her face paled as she struggled to get out of my arms.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />And then I lost it, dropping her back to her feet, laughing so hard I felt my body shook with it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“I don’t even remember the phrase!” Her wild eyes darted between me and the bed, clearly not catching on. Joke. It was a joke.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Well,” I lifted a shoulder and shrugged. “Then I guess you die.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“But—”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Better do it quickly, less pain that way.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“What about the plants?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />My smile froze. “Either you’re extremely simple minded or mentally ill. What the hell are you talking about?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“The—” She tugged at her low ponytail. “The plants, you know, around the grounds. I take care of them and Cassius—” Her eyes lit up. “Cassius said I was getting a promotion, so sorry, but you can’t kill me.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I grinned. “Okay.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />She frowned.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I was still confused how she was shielding herself from my essence, but already I was mentally drained from the energy it took to get her to worship me — instead I returned to my normal everyday state and held out my hand.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />She stared at it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Take my hand.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“No.” She swallowed. “I think I’ll just wait for Cassius.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“He’s already mated.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Her eyes narrowed. “I’m not mating him.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“No.” This, this was my favorite part, watching humans try to logically put together all of the pieces of the puzzle only to realize their brains were too small to comprehend the different parts they held, the angles, the colors, “You’re going to mate with me.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I expected her to cry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Maybe throw something.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Instead, she froze and then with a scream ran head first directly into my body sending me sailing backward against the marble floor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />I was caught unaware.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Meaning, I barely had time to stop myself before my head slammed back against the hard ground.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />She tried to run toward the door.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Cat and mouse.” I sighed from my position on the ground. “I always did like foreplay.”<br />She jerked against the doors with fervor, I’d give her that, but they wouldn’t budge.<br />Not until she was mine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Not until the doors sensed my blood running through her veins.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Why won’t it open?” Her voice was strangled as pieces of her hair fell out of its restraint and brushed against her shoulders. “You can’t keep me here forever.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“I can.” I yawned. “I will.”<br /><br /> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Brooklyn James should know better.<br />Born into Hollywood royalty, the brooding prince has a reputation as being a player. A manwhore. A womanizer.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Adoring fans are his thing.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Kim is a daydreamer. So much so that if daydreaming could be a hobby it would be her favorite. It's how her stories are born and how they take root. An imagination that runs wild is something to be thankful for, and she is very thankful. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />She grew up in New York and now lives in Florida with her husband and four kids. She's always had a love for reading books and writing. Being an English major in college, she wanted to teach at the college level but that was not to be. She went on to receive an MBA and became a project manager until quitting to raise her family. Kim currently works part-time with her husband and with the rest of her time embraces one of her biggest passions--writing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Kim wears a lot of hats! Writer, book-lover, wife, soccer-mom, taxi driver, and the all around go-to person of her family. However, she always finds time to read.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">She likes to believe in soul mates, kindred spirits, true friends, and Happily-Ever-Afters. She loves to drink champagne, listen to music, and hopes to always stay young at heart.</span><br /><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">No ties.
No expectations.
No risks.
Antonio Giovanni, a fifth-generation winemaker in the rolling hills of Tuscany, is the epitome of temptation. Tall, dark, and handsome with an accent sexy enough to leave a trail of women’s panties in his wake. The man wears charisma like a fine silk suit…flawless and molded to perfection in all the right places, leaving just enough mystery to make you wonder what lies beneath the faultless exterior.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hope Tidwell, a world-renowned sommelier, is a strong independent woman who fights to have control over every aspect of her life. She makes her own money, her own decisions, her own happiness, and her own mistakes. Her existence doesn’t need to be validated by a man; she refuses to ask for anything except an orgasm, and even those she can manage on her own. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Relationships for most people are as natural as breathing. However, Hope and Antonio are two players who master the art of seduction and the fear of emotional intimacy. When tragedy strikes close to her heart, Hope is fated to do the one thing that terrifies her most.
Destiny reveals the biggest gifts often require the greatest sacrifices.

ng Christmas lights on his fire escape. My kids would watch from our window with wonder in their eyes, unaware that it was grandpa. He would turn and wave to them, sending them into little fits of breathlessness. Later, we would visit grandma and grandpa’s for homemade cookies (left there for them by Santa). The house was always fully decked out with every Christmas decoration imaginable with Alvin and the Chipmunks on repeat while the kids hunted down little “pre-Christmas” gifts he’d hide for them. I loved witnessing the magic of Christmas and love through their eyes. Now grown, my kids will sometimes still look out the window at his fire escape and smile, remembering a grandpa who loved them beyond measure.<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>DEBBIE MASON TREE TRIMMING PARTY</b></span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">One of my family’s favorite holiday traditions is our tree trimming party. We’ve held one every year for the past thirty years. Though I don’t know if it qualifies as a party seeing as it’s just the immediate family. But we do make a thing of it with our favorite carols playing in the background, fire on (mostly for ambience), hot chocolate served in festive mugs, lots of holiday treats, and a special ornament for each of the kids and grandkids to open before the tree decorating gets under way.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But I think the most fun for all of us isn’t decorating the tree, it’s unpacking the ornaments. I’ve always tried to buy an ornament that’s uniquely suited to each of the kids, whether it was a sport they were into that year or a movie, book, or hobby they loved, so unwrapping each one brings back a lot of special memories. Here’s a peek at just some of the collection. I don’t think it will be long before we have to break from tradition and let the kids take some of the ornaments home to decorate their own trees. Either that or we’ll have to put up another tree. </span><br />

the season in Shenandoah Falls and the first time Willow Peterson has
been home in years. But she's determined to fulfill the wishes of her
recently deceased best friend and restore Eagle Hill Manor to its former
glory-all in time to host the perfect holiday wedding. She just has to
get the owner of the historic inn to hire her. Unfortunately, that means
dealing with Scrooge himself... <br /><br />After the death of his wife,
David Lyndon has a bah-humbug approach to Christmas. But as December
counts down and the wedding planning is in full swing, it's harder and
harder to stay immune to the charms of Willow, especially when he sees
how much joy she brings his eight-year-old daughter. After a simple kiss
under the mistletoe turns into something more, David is hoping he can
turn the magic of the holiday season into the love of a lifetime.</span></span><br />

These are the only cookies I make at Christmas time, and the activity is more about family fun than turning out a perfect cookie. Usually I do most of the rolling, cutting, and baking. And the rest of the family does the decorating.<br /><br />The magic is in the royal icing. The white icing is a snap to make, and it can be divided up into small bowls and colored with food dye, creating pots of colored cookie paint. I give each child (or adult) a watercolor paint brush and let them paint the icing onto the cookies. The kids have a blast, and the cookies always come out looking wonderfully homemade. <br /><br />To me, cookie baking embodies everything I love about Christmas: kids, family, baking, and yummy desserts.</span><br />

the worst season to be single, but Kara Hastings won't let a little
Christmas funk spoil the festive season. Sure, running her own bakery is
a little harder than she expected, but she can handle it. And she'll
prove it to a certain infuriatingly handsome, bossy Big City guy. She
may be sugar and spice, but she can kick his butt twice. <br /><br /><br />Nate

the town's big holiday contest, it's not just the competition that
starts to heat up. If he's not careful, Kara won't just melt his icy
resolve against a small-town Christmas . . . she'll melt hi</span>s heart too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In my newest release, CHRISTMAS COMES TO MAIN STREET, my heroine owns a cookie bakery. As this story takes place over the holidays, I thought hard about a signature cookie she might make, and eventually I settled on charming snowflake cookies. Of course these are not just any old cut out cookie, though. No, Kara makes them by the dozen, sure to keep each one in the batch distinct in shape and decoration, because no two snowflakes are ever the same, after all! And it’s these snowflake cookies that she delivers every day to the inn in Briar Creek…where a Christmas visitor falls in love with more than just her cookies. <br />I hope you all enjoy these snowflake cookies as much as Nate does! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>KARA’S SNOWFLAKE COOKIES</b></span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">(sugar cookie cut-out and royal icing recipes courtesy of Martha Stewart)<br />4 cups sifted all-purpose flour<br />1 teaspoon baking powder <br />½ teaspoon salt <br />1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature <br />2 cups granulated sugar<br />2 large eggs <br />2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract<br /> • Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. <br /> • Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Gradually mix in flour mixture. Divide dough in half; flatten each half into a disk. Wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight. <br /> • Preheat oven to 325 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Let one disk of dough stand at room temperature just until soft enough to roll, about 10 minutes. Roll out dough between two pieces of plastic wrap to 1/4 inch thick. Remove top layer of plastic wrap. Cut out cookies. Transfer cookie dough on plastic wrap to a baking sheet. Transfer baking sheet to freezer, freeze until very firm, about 15 minutes. Remove baking sheet from freezer and transfer shapes to baking sheets lined with nonstick baking mats. Roll out scraps, and repeat. Repeat with remaining disk of dough. <br /> • Bake, switching positions of sheets and rotating halfway through, until edges turn golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks. <br />ROYAL ICING<br />2 large egg whites, or more to thin icing <br />4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar, or more to thicken icing <br />Juice of 1 lemon <br />3 drops glycerin <br /><br />Beat the whites until stiff but not dry. Add sugar, lemon juice and glycerin (if using); beat for 1 minute more. If icing is too thick, add more egg whites; if it is too thin, add more sugar. The icing may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Decorate each as you wish!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Two ordinary people, bound by a tragic afternoon, set out to achieve the extraordinary, as they make three stops to rescue three children across the vast plains of the Serengeti—children who are worth more dead than alive.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">His eyes widened, and he swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbing in his throat. Frozen in place, he only stared at her as he labored to breathe. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />“Are you okay? Do you need your inhaler?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />“Yes. No. Wait.” He pulled in a deep breath. “I’m okay. It’s just that I’ve thought about this so many times. Dreamed of what it would be like. But I never imagined it would be like this. You’re a goddess. You literally take my breath away.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />Oh. My. Gosh. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />Her heart ached at the pure honesty of his words. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />He shook his head, letting out an embarrassed sigh. “Sorry. That’s pretty nerdy, huh? It’s gotta be so sexy to take your top off and have a guy have an asthma attack just from looking at you.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />If you only knew. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />She sat up, pressing him back against the sofa as she straddled his lap. Pushing his hair off his forehead, she gazed into his eyes, trying to match his sincerity. “You just told me that seeing me half naked literally took your breath away. That’s actually sexy as hell.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />A grin tugged at the corner of his lips. A grin so cute that she couldn’t help but smile back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />“Jack Bannister. You are like no man that I have ever known. I’m sitting topless in your lap, and instead of mauling me, we’re grinning like loons.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />His smile widened. “I know. It’s ridiculous. I want to maul you. Well, I mean I want to everything you. It’s not like I’m normally a real suave guy or anything. But holy hell, when I’m around you, I feel like a gawky teenage boy again that’s never kissed a girl and is completely transfixed by an amazing pair of breasts.” His gaze flicked down to her chest and color brightened his cheeks. “I don’t even know what to do with my hands.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />She cocked an eyebrow at him. “Amazing, huh?”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />He nodded. “Spectacular.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />His words made her bold, the way he looked at her bringing out her brazen side. “How about this—how about if you stop worrying about what you’re not doing and let’s focus on what we could be doing.” She pushed off his lap and shimmied out of her pajama bottoms. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />Reveling in the sharp pull of his breath, she stood before him, wearing only a tiny pair of white lace thong panties. Even though she worked out consistently, no amount of skating could shave off the extra curve of her hips. But tonight she didn’t care. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />He’d just told her that he thought she had the body of a goddess. Leaning forward, she took his hand and pulled him up to stand in front of her. “And don’t worry, I have plenty of ideas for what you can do with your hands.”</span></div>

McKnight gets lost location-scouting for her father’s TV studio, she stumbles
upon the perfect setting for their angsty new teen vampire series—a remote barn
house unfortunately occupied by a grouchy, disheveled, and incredibly sexy man
who instantly mistakes her for the new nanny. Should Katie tell him the truth,
or get her foot in the door?</span></span></div>

author Vance Kerner doesn’t just have writer’s block—he’s been run ragged ever
since he was saddled with taking care of his brother’s three kids, an adopted
kitten, and a runaway mutt. The last thing he needs is a teen drama defiling
his property, but with fascinating and unconventional Katie underfoot charming
the entire Kerner household, Vance is finding it harder and harder to say no.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Vance is a New York Times Bestseller who is in a major rut.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">“Hey, there. You ain’t from around here, are ya’? I’m Clancy Perry.” Clancy stuck his hand out and Vance immediately hated the glint in his eyes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />“Katie McKnight.” She shook Clancy’s hand.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />“You from Hollywood?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />“Santa Monica, technically––”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /> “Well, Katie McKnight…I’m your man.” Clancy ambled closer to Katie, blocking Vance with his back. “And I’d like to audition for any and all love scenes. Especially if I get to make love to Carrie Underwood or Brooklyn Decker.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />“Oh, well––” Her unease was visible as she glanced at Vance.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />“You don’t have to pay me or nothing. I’d do it for free. As long as the actress is smokin’ hot.” Clancy inched closer to Katie. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />“Welcome to Harmony,” Vance said to Katie’s surprised or alarmed face (either would be fitting). He clapped Clancy on the shoulder over his worn Skoal T-shirt. “Look, go tell everyone not to stop by because there’s not going to be any movie. Got it?” </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />“That ain’t what I heard––”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />“You’re hearing it now.” Clancy got that belligerent look on his face and was about to say something really stupid when Katie hooked her arm through his and steered him toward the door.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />“Mr. Perry, as soon as Mr. Kerner and I have ironed out all the details, I will personally let you know if there any parts in the miniseries suited for you,” she said to a goofy-smiling Clancy. “Thank you for stopping by and informing me of your availability.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />Clancy shuffled his dirty cowboy boots on the wood floor. “Sure thang. Maybe you and me can talk over beers”––he made a suggestive leer with his tobacco-stained teeth–– “You ever ridden on the back of an ATV––”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />“She’s not available.” Vance cut in as he tried shoving Clancy out the door.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />“How do you know?” Clancy dug his booted heels in, halting Vance from slamming the door in his face. “You ain’t her boyfriend, you douche bag.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />“Yes, I am. Now get the hell out of here,” he snarled in Clancy’s stupefied face. “And make sure you tell your brother Clinton, too.” Vance slammed the door so hard it rattled the frame.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />Katie stood with crossed arms. Pointing a finger at her disapproving face, he said, “Don’t give me that look. I did you a huge favor. Clancy and his brother Clinton are two characters you want to avoid. They don’t run on all four cylinders. They trim trees for a living and have fallen out of more than I can count, which explains the brain damage.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />Katie took an aggressive step forward. “I don’t care about Clancy. You promised to listen to my proposal with an open mind. And now you’re saying no before I’ve had a chance to explain.” A wrinkle creased her brow directly below her widow’s peak. “And I’m not your girlfriend, you…you butthurt!”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />Unable to form a coherent thought, his pulse quickened as he stared at Katie’s flustered face and heaving chest beneath her oversized sweatshirt. “Did you just call me butthurt?”<br />“Yeah. And I meant it.” Katie whirled around and stormed away. “I’m outta here. But I’m coming back tomorrow to present my proposal and you’re gonna listen.”</span></div>

bachelor, Lincoln Mathis, a man who’s living a lie—until his dream woman takes
away the pain.</span></span></b><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
<span style="background: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background: white;">Lincoln Mathis doesn’t hide his reputation as
Manhattan’s ultimate playboy. In fact, he cultivates it. But behind every
flirtatious smile, each provocative quip, there’s a secret that Lincoln’s
hiding from even his closest friends—a tragedy from his past that holds his
heart quietly captive. Lincoln knows what he wants: someone like Daisy
Sinclair, the sassy, off-limits bridesmaid he can’t take his eyes off at his
best friend’s wedding. He also knows that she’s everything he can never have.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background: white;">After a devastating divorce, Daisy doesn’t need
anyone to warn her off the charming best man at her sister’s wedding. One look
at the breathtakingly hot Lincoln Mathis and she knows that he’s exactly the
type of man she should avoid. But when Daisy stumbles upon Lincoln’s secret,
she realizes there’s more to the charming playboy than meets the eye. And
suddenly Daisy and Lincoln find their lives helplessly entwined in a journey
that will either heal their damaged souls . . . or destroy them forever.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“Lincoln, you know that I love you like a brother, but if you make a move on my sister, I will end you.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Lincoln Mathis took a slow sip of his cocktail as he studied the fierce bride-to-be. “I hope Cassidy knows how lucky he is. You’re so delicate and gentle.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Emma Sinclair, soon to be Emma Cassidy as of this time tomorrow, lifted one elegantly manicured fingernail and flicked his chest. “Promise, Lincoln. No hitting on Daisy.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“I don’t hit on women.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Emma gave him a look. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He held up his free hand in surrender. “I don’t. They come to me. I’m like the stamen.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Emma stared at him with wide, slightly accusatory brown eyes. “The what?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“The stamen. The pollen-producing part of a flower, Sinclair. Don’t you watch the Discovery Channel? Animal Planet? I just saw a fascinating documentary on bees. See, when the bees land on a flower, their little feet pick up pollen from the stamen— “</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Mathis. Are you talking to my fiancée about semen?” Alex Cassidy asked, coming up beside Emma and setting a possessive hand on her waist.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Stamen,” Lincoln clarified. “Not semen. Honestly, is sex all you people think about?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Yes.” This came from Riley Compton, a brunette bombshell whose status as New York’s foremost “sexpert” meant she had zero qualms about discussing sex at her best friend’s rehearsal dinner. “And you know, actually, the stamen is rather sexual. I saw that bee documentary too, because these are the sort of things you do when you’re nursing a never-satisfied baby, by the way, and the stamen is a flower’s male reproductive organ. Sexy, right?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Emma inserted the arm not holding her champagne flute between the two of them. “Guys, it’s my wedding weekend. Can we not talk about flower boners?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Fair enough, Bride,” Lincoln said. “What do you want to talk about? Cassidy’s boner?” <br />Alex Cassidy choked into his champagne.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“There will be no boner discussion,” Emma said. “Lincoln and I were just having a chat about how Lincoln will be maintaining his distance from my sister.” </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Speaking of flowers, where is Daisy?” Riley asked, scanning the room.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Running late. Knowing my sister, her dress had a slight crease from the suitcase, and she won’t make an appearance until every wrinkle’s banished, every hair’s in place, and there’s not a speck of lint anywhere.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Gosh, however will I keep my hands to myself?” Lincoln muttered.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Lincoln, I swear to God—”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“He’s messing with you, Em,” Cassidy said, carefully tugging his fiancée away from Lincoln. “Don’t let him press your buttons. And Lincoln, man, what is with that drink?”<br />Lincoln glanced down. “It’s called a Jasmine. Gin, lemon, some Campari—”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“It’s pink,” Cassidy observed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Right? You want one?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Cassidy rolled his eyes. “I’ll stick with wine, thanks. Ah shit, there’s my grandma waving us over. Emma, you up for talk about the state of your uterus?” </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Emma groaned. “Oh no. I thought she’d agreed to wait until after the wedding to talk about my eggs.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“I’ll go with you,” Riley said. “As the only one in our little group of friends who’s ever pushed a human skull out my—”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Okay, I’m going to expand my taboo list,” Emma said. “No talking about boners, flowers, or vaginas.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Fine,” Riley said, as she entwined her arm in Emma’s and started leading her toward Cassidy’s grandma. “But if Grams starts talking about fertility, just follow my lead . . . ”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Lincoln smiled as he watched his friends walk away. He could follow, certainly, help run interference, but new mom Riley was a far better choice for this particular bridal-party duty.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Besides, as best man, Lincoln had enough to worry about. The ring, reconfirming transportation to the church tomorrow, the speech that he was going to slay tomorrow, the—</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Lincoln’s best man to-do list scattered as his eyes landed on a woman standing in the doorway to the private event room. He did a double take. When had Emma found time to change? Generally speaking, he didn't consider himself particularly in tune with his friends' clothes. Especially the women, because, well . . . he didn’t really give a crap. But he was pretty damn sure Emma had been wearing a white dress just ten seconds ago. <br />Now she was wearing a short yellow dress, with fussy, flowy sleeves, high-necked and a bit demure—</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />No, not demure, Lincoln amended as she turned. Hot. The dress was backless, showing a smooth expanse of lightly tanned skin from the small of her back all the way up to long dark blond hair.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />. . . Blond hair.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Emma had shoulder-length brown hair. A wardrobe swap, he might be able to buy, but the hair?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />You idiot.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He was looking at none other than Daisy Sinclair, the forbidden fruit, in the flesh. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He’d forgotten that Daisy wasn’t just Emma’s sister—she was Emma’s identical twin.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Other than the fact that she was, apparently, not to be hit on, Lincoln didn’t know much about her.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Well, he supposed he now knew that she dyed her hair blond.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Or maybe Emma dyed hers brown?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Whatever. Girl stuff he didn’t care about one way or the other. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />And yet he didn’t look away, captivated somehow. He racked his brain for everything he’d heard about Daisy Sinclair.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He knew that she and Emma had grown up in North Carolina. But Emma left for New York City shortly after college, and Daisy had stayed. He thought he remembered talk of a recent divorce, although he didn’t recall the details.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Didn’t need to, really. Lincoln knew better than anyone that not all relationships had happy endings. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Lincoln watched as Daisy hesitated just inside the doorway, unnoticed yet by the rest of the bridal party and out-of-town guests. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Making people comfortable was a particular skill of his. Normally he’d be over there in a heartbeat with a glass of wine and some of his best banter until her shoulders relaxed and he’d coaxed a smile from her pretty face.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />But he wasn’t entirely convinced Emma wouldn’t make good on her castration threats, so instead Lincoln merely studied Daisy. The woman was beautiful. No surprise there, since Emma was gorgeous. Yet, though their features were identical, they were attractive in entirely different ways. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Emma was all polished confidence, stunning in an untouchable sort of way.<br />Daisy was softer somehow. Gentler. She seemed . . . touchable.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Lincoln’s cocktail froze on its way to his mouth as the forbidden rocked him back on his heels. Daisy Sinclair was not for him to touch for reasons that had nothing to do with Emma’s threats.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />As though sensing a man’s brooding thoughts on her, Daisy turned slightly, her eyes locking on his. Eyes that he’d known would be dark brown like Emma’s, and yet eye contact with Emma had never felt like this.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Lincoln felt something akin to panic, because for a heart-stopping moment, it felt like Daisy Sinclair was seeing him. Not seeing the Lincoln he wanted everyone to see.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />The real him.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He gave himself a little mental shake. Get it together, Mathis. The woman doesn’t even know you.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />None of them did.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Not really.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He saw the moment of answering shock in her own gaze, sensed that for a split second, she considered turning and running. From him, from the party, all of it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Then he saw something else. Something familiar, because he’d done it a thousand times himself. She squared her shoulders, and he watched as a mask slid into place.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He knew even before she approached that Daisy was exactly like him—good at being around people only because she chose to be. Knew that perhaps once it had been second nature, and now it was nothing but a deliberate attempt to make sure everyone thought she was okay.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Daisy began making her way toward him, and he tensed for reasons he couldn’t identify before ordering himself to chill out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />It was just his friend’s sister. The maid of honor to his best man.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />She stopped in front of him, and he caught just the faintest whiff of her perfume, a surprisingly elegant scent for someone named Daisy, before she extended her hand.<br />“You must be Lincoln Mathis, The Manwhore of Whom I Should Beware?”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Her voice was a surprise. It had the same low huskiness as her sister’s, but years in New York had all but erased the Southern from Emma’s whiskey-raspy voice. Daisy’s drawl was very much intact—a mint julep on a hot day.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />He grinned and took her smaller hand in his. “Which would make you Daisy Sinclair, Delicate Flower to Whom I’m Not to Speak.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />She grinned. “Nailed it.” </span></div>

guru Kennedy Pepperdine’s life is perfect. Perfect job. Perfect friends.
Perfect boyfriend. Except...when she gets trapped in an elevator with a
handsome stranger, she accidentally confesses a secret: maybe her perfect
boyfriend, Justin, isn’t so perfect for her after all. But a matchmaker should
be able to successfully match herself, right? Thankfully, she’ll never see the
handsome stranger again. Until she heads home with Justin for the holidays and
learns that the sexy stranger is none other than Justin’s older brother, Matt.</span></span></div>

is trying to be on his best behavior for his mother—it is Christmas, after all.
But when he recognizes the beautiful woman from the elevator—the one he hasn’t
been able to stop thinking about for months—his best behavior is being held by
a thread. Matt’s always sacrificed for his family, and nothing is more
important than their happiness, but the more time he spends around Kennedy, the
more he wonders if her supposed "right match" might just be the wrong
brother.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A sweet read that's sure to warm you up for the holiday season.<br /><br />Kennedy, while away in Vegas at a convention, runs to make an elevator and finds herself stuck with a dark and handsome man. I mean what could go wrong when you are claustrophobic and to help pass the time, have drunk a bottle of champagne with no food? There's something about Matt (the guy in the elevator with her) that she seems to be at ease with. And so she confesses to the stranger, that things aren't as perfect as she would like with her boyfriend Justin. When the two are thrown together, literally, sparks fly and the two share a kiss. A kiss that neither will be able to forget for sometime.<br /><br />Now months later, Kennedy is back home and things are better between her workaholic boyfriend Justin and herself. In fact, they are getting married and will be spending two weeks with his family over the holidays. Kennedy is beyond excited to finally have a family. Until she walks in and is greeted by Justin's brother Matt.<br /><br />Matt can't believe the woman from the elevator is his brother's fiance and he hasn't forgotten everything she said about her not so perfect boyfriend. But as Justin has to run back into Boston for a work event, leaving Kennedy with Matt to take care of her, the two start to see that maybe she picked the wrong brother to begin with.<br /><br />But what can Kennedy and Matt do? They don't want to hurt Justin, but can they deny what is happening between the two of them?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Although I'm not one for triangles (mainly due to the cheating aspect) there is no cheating to be had in this book. I found the book full of hope and love and a good romance read full of holiday fun.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Matt looked at his sister. “What do you think?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“We can let her in on the secret,” Caitlyn said with a huge grin. “She’s definitely one of us.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Matt hesitated. “Okay. The truth is…we all hate the fruitcake.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“I knew it!” she exclaimed then frowned. “But I don’t understand. Why pretend to like it, then?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Honestly? Because none of us has the heart to tell her the truth. It makes her so happy. She’s one of the two percent who actually enjoys it.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“And your dad,” she added. “He liked it, too. Your mom said so.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /> Matt shook his head gravely. “No, he hated it the most.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /> Kennedy blinked then looked to Caitlyn. “He did?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Yup.” Caitlyn shrugged. “Like Matt said, we didn’t have the heart to make her feel bad on Christmas. At least this time she didn’t put any figs or dried pineapple in it. That was a particularly bad year. Although Justin tolerated it the best out of all of us.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Kennedy cracked a smile. “So your mom goes through all this trouble of making a fruitcake every Christmas and she’s the only one who eats it?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Oh, no,” Matt assured her. “We’ll all choke down a slice. You, too, since you’ll soon be part of the family. And we’ll all tell her how great it is. It’s tradition.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Tradition,” Caitlyn echoed firmly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Kennedy laughed. Oh my, if she didn’t already love this family, this aspect of it only endeared them to her more. “Well, your secret is safe with me. I love traditions myself.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“That’s good,” Caitlyn said, cracking herself up, “because you and Matt are standing under the mistletoe.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />What?! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Kennedy cautiously looked up as if to find the Sword of Damocles dangling over her, but instead found a small green ball of mistletoe tied up with ribbon. Crap! Her gaze dropped to Matt, who held a gleam of interest in his eyes, and her cheeks caught fire. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Oh, well, that’s a silly tradition,” she said hurriedly, “I mean, we don’t have to do that.” Do we? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Barbara walked back into the room. “What don’t you have to do?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Caitlyn pointed to the ball. “Matt and Kennedy are under the mistletoe.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“Oh, how nice,” Barbara said, clasping her hands. “Kiss her, Matt. It’s Christmas after all.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />Matt glanced at Kennedy and stiffened, but without further argument leaned in to her. Her heart fluttered like a hummingbird in anticipation. She caught the pleasant scent of pine and soap on his skin as he brushed his lips against her cheek, hovering for just a few brief seconds before he was once again at a safe distance from her. Such a simple kiss, yet her emotions whirled and skidded. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“I’d better get going,” Matt murmured, backing into the door. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />His mom frowned. “Are you okay, dear? Maybe you should sit down a bit first.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />“No, I need to get kissing—er, going. I need to go.” His gaze reluctantly returned to hers, and his voice dipped. “I’ll see you tomorrow night?” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br />She nodded, not trusting her voice. Then he was out the door as if suddenly spooked.<br />Unfortunately, she knew exactly how he felt.</span></div>
