"She wants a baby. He's just the man for the job.
I'd finally given up on having a family of my own.
Until ex-con Jake Brand walks in. He's six-foot-five of ink and muscle and the farthest thing from a family man. He's also leaving in a few weeks.
So, when he offers to help out—in my restaurant and in my bed—I cave in and say yes.
But I've got rules, strict ones, to keep everything between us clear: No touching. No kissing. No emotion. And the lights stay off. Always.
Except, it turns out, dirty-talking Jake doesn't do rules. He busts through them one by one, and every time, he cracks another piece of the shell protecting my heart.
Now, as we're counting down the days until he leaves, I can't help but wonder just how much of me will be left when he's gone.

America’s Sweetheart
What’s a girl supposed to do when her husband, in name only, gets caught on video doing unspeakable things with another woman (one who looks weirdly like her)? And by her, I mean me. Never mind that I can’t stop watching the video and thinking about the video and imagining myself in the—
Well, it turns out I’m the kind of person who follows my husband to a top-secret retreat filled with people living the kind of life I've only dreamed of. Along the way, I learn way more than I bargained for and uncover secret desires I’ve been denying for an awfully long time.

"My desires…
I’m afraid. I want things—to escape, to run, to be caught, held down and…
I’ve come here to find the thing to quench my most sensual fantasies.
When I see him—I know. He’s brutal and made of stone. An artist with his hands who keeps everyone at arm’s length. He’s the one I want—I need.
… may be my downfall.
I’m not a man you play with. I gave up on finding a partner years ago.
But now I see her. Innocent. Beautiful. Temptation. I want to possess her as much as I want to protect her from myself.
I am the king here, but once she’s gone? I’ll be a man alone once again.
Now that I have her. I have to find a way to keep her… forever.

They both know there's little chance of making it out alive, and yet they are determined to weather the coming storm—no matter the cost."
