"Twenty-five hundred miles in a car. All I want is a respectful driver who'll be quiet and let me lick my wounds. Instead, a disarming flirt takes the wheel and propels my life into a tailspin.
My father was supposed to be my road trip companion but abandoned me for his work. Once again. It should no longer hurt, but it does.
To add insult to injury, with his shorts and flip-flops, mussed hair, and a blindingly perfect smile, my driver is…
Annoyingly hot and far too friendly.
From the moment our gazes collide, things between us are hostile. Actually, I’m the frosty one. Tom Raine is a special kind of guy.
No matter how insufferable I am or how many times I stress he’s nothing more than my driver—most definitely not my friend—he persists in tearing down my walls.
Before long, I’m telling him my wildest wishes and darkest secrets. And it gets harder to care that our worlds couldn’t be any farther apart. Living in the spotlight, I curate images of a perfect life, while he truly makes a difference.
We should slow down or, at the very least, pump the brakes. Foolishly, we race headlong into sinfully inappropriate. I’ve never felt like this about any man. Heart aflutter and more alive than ever before. Most of all, he understands and respects me.
Tom’s the man I never wanted. He doesn’t fit into my life. But now that I’ve had him, I can’t imagine letting him go."
"I’m locked in a gymnasium with Oliver Winslow—the only man I’ve ever loved.
Sounds like a dream come true.
But it’s not.
The man is hot as hell with the biggest heart, but the kicker—he isn’t mine.
One truth is heart-wrenchingly obvious.
Unrequited love sucks.
Just being near him makes my heart stutter, and the way he stares at me, intense and soul-searing as if he knows every one of my secrets, causes me to unravel.
I won’t make it through the night.
Being stuck with him may break me.
While he’s looking for a way out, I’m looking for a way in.
Into his heart.
Close to You is the sizzling prequel to the steamy small town Winslow Grove Series."
"Broody billionaire Walker Drummond is way out of my league, but that’s easily forgotten when I literally fall at his feet—on my behind, my dress hiked to my hips—staring up at his irritatingly handsome face.
I’m a reluctant thief, and he should be off-limits, but underneath his hard exterior lies an adoring father and caring man. And the real jaw-dropper? He’s interested in me.
None of this should matter since he has no use for relationships.
And despite the magnetism of his unwavering confidence and arresting blue eyes, I don’t do flings.
We’re at a stalemate. Which is for the best.
Until surprisingly, he abandons his hard line on casual for me.
Blame it on lust or maybe it’s something more when I cast caution aside to be with him.
Still, I don’t belong in his world.
Nor do I know how to play the game.
The thing with games? Only one person wins.
While Walker keeps his heart safely guarded, convinced I’ll steal it, I’m the one who stands to lose it all. "

"Zero’s an arrogant, enigmatic, dangerous hacker.
He wants to protect me.
Pity.
He’s too late. I’m a lost cause.
I narrowly escaped death only to now live on a knife’s edge, constantly checking the shadows for monsters.
And I can’t trust him.

Even still, this inscrutable stranger burrows his way under my skin and into my heart.
