"Nothing makes me happier than helping my serious, reclusive boss…but his next project requires a wife!
I’m a meek little mouse of an assistant who calls my boss “Mr. Newton Smith” more often than not, but when I overhear that Rufus’s business partner is bent on embarrassing him for making up a fake fiancée, I know I need to reinvent myself—as his wife-to-be.
I only expect a single night of playing pretend. I don’t expect every detail Rufus has told people about his fake fiancée to be me. Now there is new meaning in every careful look he gives me, every quiet lean against my desk, and the way he rumbles that I’m a good girl.
The truth is, though, that I don’t feel good. I feel deeply wicked for how far I want to take this game of make believe. I want Mr. Newton Smith to consummate our fake relationship and make it very, very real, and take my V-card while he’s at it.
Wife Project is a short, spicy novella about an innocent assistant and the big man who has been waiting for her his whole life."
"My plans for a solitary weekend of hiking and hot tubbing at my family’s cabin in the mountains take a turn when I arrive at dusk, only to discover it’s been rented out. And the unexpected guests aren’t exactly strangers to me. They’re construction workers who renovated my college dorm. Who growled at any boy who dared to look in my direction while I was trying to study.
I don’t need protection this weekend, though. I’m looking for a sweet kind of oblivion that it turns out only four strong arms can provide. Little do I realize they want a lot more than forty-eight hours of uninhibited bliss. These possessive men want double the happy ever after."
"I had a workday hook-up with my older, serious, and very off-limits boss three months ago… and now I’m hiding a secret bump!
Mack Emerson is a single-minded business titan who has no time for relationships, especially with a much younger innocent woman. I tried to hide my immediate attraction to the hefty dark-haired giant of a man, but I’ve never been able to lie, and it doesn’t take long for the inconvenient chemistry between us to combust.
We have an unforgettable turn past third base on his desk, but it’s a one-time only mistake…that has a shocking and unexpected consequence. And now I’m doing my best to hide my secret pregnancy under flowing dresses and behind file folders.
I’m so worried that he’ll fire me when he finds out that I don’t consider an even worse possibility: that Mr. Emerson might demand I be his wife. Can I marry a man who sees me as a responsibility, and not the love of his life?
Secret Bump is a spicy instalove age gap romance with a grumpy, obsessive hero and his willful virgin bride."
"Baseball's most valuable player? He has hidden feelings for me that have grown all season long, and now they've reached a fevered, possessive peak…
I'm the coach's daughter, watching from the shadows as my father's best friend and star player wins the World Series for his team. Trick Lowry is almost twice my age and a bonafide celebrity, and I love him with my entire heart.
It's the kind of secret, off-limits crush that feeds wild fantasies and reckless ideas—like sneaking into his hotel room while he's celebrating, just to have a little slice of him to myself. I innocently surround myself with his smell, thinking he doesn't have to know.
But when he finds me there, wearing nothing but his jersey, I get more than I bargained for. He wants me, too. And not just for a single night of celebration. He wants it all."
"I'm the maid of honor. He's the father of the bride.
Thanks to a snowstorm on the East Coast, I'm the only member of my best friend's wedding party to actually arrive in Vegas as planned. But she has a plan. . . her father will pick me up at the airport, and we'll take care of any last-minute wedding details together. Not in the plan is the unexpected sizzling chemistry with an older, off-limits man and being talked into sharing his suite.
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas? Not if the father of the bride claims me as his own."
"He was my mom’s high school boyfriend...
I have seventeen dollars to my name and a one-way bus ticket to my new college town—two months early. Oh, and the name of a man I’ve never met scrawled on a piece of paper. Henry Wilde.
But when I show up on his doorstep, he has no idea that my mom said I could stay with him. And he only has one bed.
It’s eight weeks until I can move onto campus.
Eight weeks of living with him above his barbershop. So I’m going to make myself useful. Help him out and try not to pester him about what it will be like at college. Because this homeschooled girl has a lot of questions, but they’re not appropriate for my de facto guardian. Not even if we’re both consenting adults…
An explosive age gap, off-limits romance from the author of Before He Was Her Headmaster"
"Ford Gamble is my dad’s best friend. He’s also the reclusive keeper of the Conception Ridge lighthouse. But I remember a time when he was around more—the perfect hotter-than-sin fodder for all my fantasies.
Now there’s just enough silver in his shock of sexy hair and thick beard that he looks a little bit like a hot forty-something Santa, with six-pack abs. And that’s what has me heading to the lighthouse on a dark, stormy Christmas Eve when the retirement home where I work needs a fill-in Mr. Claus for their annual celebration.
Except I underestimate the bad weather, and the next thing I know, I’m waking up in his bed—realizing I may have revealed my forbidden fantasies to him in my feverish sleep. Can I convince him to finally let me call him Daddy Christmas? Or will he deny that he shares my off-limits feelings? Because I know Ford can’t stop looking at me with a wild heat in his gaze. And my desperate Christmas wish is that he’s thinking about corrupting his little, not-so-innocent angel."
"My one night stand? He’s sitting behind the headmaster’s desk.
We met at a truck stop. The chemistry was immediate, and we both do something out of character: one night, no explanations. The next day, I arrive at my new private school. Now I’m the off-limits forbidden temptation Sebastian Craig can’t forget, and we both try our best to behave. It works for a few weeks… until our secret cravings come tumbling out in the library after hours. How will we keep our private connection hidden until the end of the term? I want to be his sweet girl forever, but the age gap and responsibility of his job might be too much to overcome.…"
