Lexi Preston has gone from the courtroom to the barroom—as the world’s worst waitress at Brevia’s hot spot Riley’s Bar. Lexi’s back in town to right old wrongs, not to fall in love—but she’s finding it awfully hard to avoid her impossibly gorgeous new boss.
Travis Forrester is about to have the worst day of his life. His administrative assistant of three years, Chryssa Baros, has turned in her resignation. She’s leaving the state to become a professional artist. He knew the various pieces of artwork in his office were painted by her, but he didn’t know she was serious about making a full-time career of it. How will he run his office without her? As a last-ditch effort to convince her to stay, he offers her an all-expense paid weekend trip to his family’s remote wilderness lodge. She accepts, but it doesn’t take long before Travis realizes he doesn’t want her in his life as an employee, but as something so much more. And now Travis knows exactly what he’ll do to keep her: absolutely anything.
He never imagined he’d be the man he was born to be, or that one woman’s faith in him would change his life forever…
Prudence Hartley has the usual single mom problems: getting her kids to school on time; juggling a gazillion errands while trying to get a full day’s work done; oh, and don’t forget about dinner. But Pru’s problems become a tad more complicated and a lot more dangerous when she finds a dead man in her house. Or a dead spy to be exact. Suddenly, a federal agent named David Merrick shows up and whisks her and her kids into protective custody. Pru has so many questions spinning through her brain she doesn’t know where to begin. How is she going to keep her kids safe? What was the dead spy looking for in her house? Why are the spies after her? Oh, and there’s one more question . . . just a pesky, minor thing. Why does Merrick have to be so damn sexy and protective?
Devney needs a fake boyfriend for the night and I’m all too eager to play along. But when the sun rises, reality settles in and I know I want more. Only I don’t think she’s ready for what I have to give. I want to be more than a good time, but I know what I’m good for. I need control. And she’s far too innocent. When one fake date with Heath turns into two, our relationship becomes all too real. Hard. Fast. And everything I didn’t realize I needed. But I don’t know how to tell him I want it all. Even when the world comes crashing back into focus all too soon.
“You’re not safe here,” he growls, his voice rough and dominant. “You’re coming with me.”
It started with a scratching at my cabin door.
I frantically call my reclusive neighbor, James McTierney— brooding, silver-haired mountain man.
“HELP! I don’t want to be eaten by a bear!”
I realize how ridiculous I sound and hang up, mortified.
Seconds later, my door slams open…
He’s shirtless, pajama bottoms riding dangerously low,
And a baby monitor clipped to his pocket.
“I can’t protect you and my girls from two separate houses,” he growls “You’re coming with me.”
James introduces me and his two best friends, Roman and Oliver.
Ex-military SEALs. Over-to-top alphas.
And impossibly tender fathers to two adorable little girls.
They all living together in a beautiful grand cabin.
They ask me to move in with them for my own well-being.
But something tells me there’s more to it than that.
Because the way they each look at me with such admiration and a yearning…
Makes me weaker than I care to admit.
Then everything changes.
I become pregnant.
And my past?
It’s coming to exact revenge.
Lucky for me – I’m not alone.
