"I didn’t know I’d risk everything to be with him.
I thought he was the assistant football coach.
I thought I would protect my teaching career from anything.
I thought I could stay away from him.
I thought wrong."
"Maddox
Coming back home after being gone for twelve years was easy. But seeing my high school ex-girlfriend definitely wasn’t. There was a time when I thought we’d be together forever. Until she wasn’t there for me when I needed her the most. And now, she acts like I’m the one that hurt her.
Addison
I never thought I’d see Maddox again. And I never thought he would’ve lied to me about where he’s been all these years. But he’s no longer the boy I fell in love with. And I'm no longer the girl who gave him her heart. Everything’s changed between us.
But then at night, he sneaks into my room, taking what is still his.
Taking what will always be his. Me."
"Olivia
When I met Tommy, I knew he was a grade-A jerk. After all, the first thing he said to me was that my orgasms must suck and be super boring. I didn’t even know the guy. And he certainly didn’t know me.
Tommy
I might not have known Olivia, but I knew her kind. Strong and confident to the world, but behind closed doors, she needed a good, hard f*ck.
Several years later, we meet up again, and I offer to be the man to do that for her.
But is she ready for all I have to give? Because I want her to take it all."
"An average romance author? ✓
Lately, the only romance action I’ve gotten is from my novels.
A gorgeous cover model? ✓
He’s handsome and nice and way out of my league.
A serious crush? ✓
I should know better, yet, I can’t help but fall for him.
A chance I can make him mine?
Only one way to find out: Put him on a book cover and ask him to a book signing."
"My First Mistake:
Breaking up with my boyfriend right before I turn thirty.
Second Mistake:
Requesting my expert in the sack best friend, Griffin, give me a leg-shaking orgasm as a birthday gift.
My Third Mistake:
Lying to myself that I wouldn’t fall for my best friend just because we slept together.
My Fourth Mistake:
Accidentally telling Griffin I love him.
And losing our friendship forever."
"Texting the wrong number never felt so right.
It started with a not-so-innocent text that I meant to send to the guy I was casually seeing. Things were moving slowly, and I decided it was time to spice things up.
Me: I need you to come over. I want to feel you inside me.
Him: Who is this?
Me: Indy. Who’s this?
Him: Wrong number.
Me: Oh crap. I’m sorry.
Him: I’m not. What’s your address?
Now, I have to decide whether I want to block him and text the guy I meant to in the first place. Or decide to do something outrageously bold and tell him to come over.
Me: . . ."
"The Goal:
Find a fake girlfriend to prove to my boss I’m not a flight risk.
The Plan:
Blackmail Sloan Zehler when I catch her messing with my brother’s car.
The Agreement:
Five Dates.
The Execution:
Pretend to date, pretend to care for each other, but no sex.
And definitely don’t fall in love."
"Dear Lydia,
I need help with my neighbor.
She doesn’t like me, but I can’t stop thinking about having sex with her. Half of me wants to fuck her, and the other half wants to choke her. Or choke her while I fuck her.
How do I put her out of my mind?
Sincerely,
Guy Problems
Who’s Lydia? That’s me, an advice columnist.
Who’s Guy Problems? My sexy neighbor (hiding behind his computer screen).
What’s the problem? I need his help. Even though he’s the last person I want to ask.
Guy Problems is about to become my guy problem."
"All she wanted was to find a man who knew his way around her P.
I was probably what you would call a boss bitch. I was the youngest judge in the state—and a female one at that. My job was the hardest thing I’d ever done, but it was also the most rewarding. If only my private life were just as satisfying.
What I’d gained in my professional life, I’d lost in my personal one. Which meant I’d lost the man who knew my body as well as his own. The man who knew every single thing that turned me on and how to make me come. Too bad for me because, now, he was the guy no one could live up to.
That was where Preston St. James came in. That man knew how to worship my pussy, and I didn’t need to find a new guy when my ex-husband could give me exactly what I wanted. Exactly what I needed.
But maybe I should have taken into account what he wanted. Me."
"When her family pressures her to bring someone to her cousin’s wedding, he challenges her promise to swear off men forever.
As an only child, my mother wants me to get married…like, yesterday. But after my last two boyfriends cheated on me, I am done with dating, done with men, and done with romance. But I’d have better luck convincing my mom that the sky is green than getting her to understand I’m happy, being single.
Left with no other choice, I ask the biggest manwhore I know to be my date for a wedding weekend. He has just enough charm to make my family fall in love with him but not enough that I will. Too bad the bottom half of me doesn’t get the message.
But even if he gets my legs to open for him, he’ll never get my heart to do the same."
"When she breaks her own rule and takes a job working for a CEO, he’ll show her that money doesn’t matter when it comes to the heart.
As a poor girl who went to a private school filled with rich kids who made fun of me, I’ve since avoided anyone who has a lot of money. But when I’m offered a temp job as the assistant to a business tycoon that pays very well, I can’t pass it up. The extra cash will help me secure a down payment on the perfect location for my new business.
I arrive at my workplace with my armor in place and a professional smile on my face, but Seth Crawford is not what I expected. He doesn’t look like a CEO or act like a CEO, and he doesn’t treat me like he’s the CEO. And when I accompany him on a business trip, he shows me what it would be like to be more than his assistant.
But playing pretend outside of the office can’t last forever. In the real world, he’ll never see me as his equal, and unfortunately, neither will I."
"When she swears off casual sex because she falls too hard, too fast, he’ll be the one to convince her to break her own rules.
I’m a hopeless romantic who loves making love, and I often fall for guys who don’t want to be serious. So, I promise myself no more one-night stands and no more heartbreak. But when I sneak away from a boring work party, only to end up sleeping with the handsome guy from the hotel bar, I fail at the first step in my new plan.
When I get up in the morning, I stick to my strategy, and I don’t ask for his phone number or his last name. Even if he did give me a night I’ll never forget, I’m determined to be strong. Except he turns out to be my new roommate, and now, he’s living with me.
But I’m not sure I can avoid falling in love—again—when the very man I want to avoid is always right there."
