But can she trust the man who once crushed her dreams? Can Pete be with someone who lives in another country, when distance is what killed his first marriage? As they face new challenges and old insecurities, Lauren and Pete must decide whether to take a chance on each other or let their past keep them apart.

"When it comes to guys, I don't do repeats. I'm too messed up to do more than a one night stand.
Until Josh.
He got a second chance on a technicality. He's got more tattoos than I do, and I want to lick every one of them.
Suddenly he's there to help me pick up the pieces after I call the cops on my dad. He rescues me from myself on Halloween. And always with that lazy smile and bone-melting kisses.
But he's getting tired of my excuses about why I can't give him more than hook ups.
Maybe it's time to put my past behind me, and let myself give someone more than my body.
But will Josh stick around long enough for me to find the courage to do that?"
"I'm supposed to be focused on my toughest rotation of med school. So what am I doing sexting my hot new neighbor? Or letting him see me naked at the window? I don't have time for distractions. But of course sexting leads to more, and it turns out hooking with Kam is even more amazing. And it turns out, distraction is just what this soon-to-be-doctor ordered. After all, if he can push me way past my boundaries in the bedroom, maybe I can try pushing a few boundaries outside of it too. Except if I ever want to be more than a booty call, I'll have to figure out how to make Kam step out of his own secretive comfort zone, too.

"I'm too smart to do something dumb like fall in love with the pizza boy.
I love pizza as much as the next girl, but I'm not bingeing on delivery for the pepperoni. It's Tariq's gorgeous smile I crave. But I don't have time for a guy, with finals coming up, then graduate school graduation & starting a new job. Still, his kisses are so hot.
And it turns out, the sex is downright mind-blowing. Maybe I can find time for a fling. It doesn't have to be more than that. Just because we like the same comics and nerdy movie quotes doesn't mean I'm falling for him.
I'm way too smart for that.

""Tight end," noun: 1. a position in American football, 2. NFL star Marcus James, 3. what any hot-blooded woman can't stop staring at every time Marcus walks by.
Bree Novak is so close to earning her Ph.D. she can taste it, but she's supposed to be writing her dissertation, not giving lectures while her advisor slacks off. The semester gets even crazier when veteran tight end Marcus James-Bree's celebrity crush-enrolls in her "Intro to Physics" class. The man's even hotter in person than he looks on Sunday Night Football. So why is Bree hoping he drops out? Maybe it's because Marcus, with his cocky smile and chiseled body, is the ultimate distraction. . . .
Drafted out of college years ago by the Milwaukee Dragons, Marcus is taking advantage of a season-ending knee injury to finish his bachelor's degree. Plus, thanks to a required science credit, he's also getting to know the geek goddess who teaches physics. With brains and beauty, Bree is living proof that opposites attract. She's even kind enough to give Marcus extra help with the material, as if she didn't have anything better to do. And the more time Marcus spends with her, the more he realizes he's not just crushing on his teacher-he's falling for her.
Don't miss any of Liz Lincoln's mouthwatering Milwaukee Dragons novels, which can be read together or separately:
ON THE LINE | SWAGGER"
"Is this man: A) a super-hot NFL player, B) the guy you're sexting, or C) your new boss?
If you're Carrie Herron, the answer is: D) all of the above. First, Carrie starts exchanging steamy text messages with the sexy single dad she meets in line at the grocery store. Then she lands a job as the live-in nanny for the daughter of the Milwaukee Dragons' newest star. With any luck, she'll be back on her financial feet before the next cosplay convention rolls around. But when Carrie shows up for work and realizes that her new boss is the guilty pleasure in her phone, she has no choice but to try to keep things professional. Oh, how would Poison Ivy handle a temptation like Seth Chamberlain?
After getting traded from Houston to Milwaukee, Seth's having a tough time keeping his head in the game, let alone making sure that his daughter is fitting in. So if the only nanny that Madison will tolerate is a grown woman who likes comic books even more than she does . . . well, so be it. Too bad the nanny is also the gorgeous redhead Seth's been flirting with all this time. But with Carrie's knowing glances and kissable lips driving him wild, Seth must decide whether he's ready to put everything on the line."
