"Cecilia: Fresh out of college, I stumbled into the opportunity of a lifetime. My favorite professor had a friend who was looking to retire and sell his animal clinic. With a lot of help and a giant push from my sister and her husband, I made an offer.
I'm happy with the occasional girls' night in and catching a glimpse of the hot neighbor, who I undeniably fantasize about—often. Those fantasies, however, come to a dramatic end when I see him walking his new puppy on my property and not cleaning up its mess—twice. There's nothing hot about a man who doesn't take care of his shhh—or his dog's. Nothing.
Fantasy ruined.

The problem with this is, my focus is on the hot redhead next door, and she . . . well, she can't stand me. It's not in the game itself; it's in the lessons about endless opportunities.
Right now, I'm on first, just waiting for the opportunity to steal second.

"It was the worst day of my life. The doctor walked in, told me the horrible news, and then my husband asked for a divorce two weeks later. Six months have passed and I'm in a much better place, but I'm pretty sure I'll never really get over it . . . Then my best friend introduces me to her brother-in-law, Neil Crimson, the world's most famous astronaut. He's just returned from a voyage to the moon where he's overseeing their new Lunar Labs project—and he's smokin' hot. Against my will, she sets me up on a date with him—and he actually says yes.
Fresh off a divorce, I'm looking for something fun and easy, and since Neil is busy being the hottest astronaut that's ever lived, fun and easy is perfect for him too. He was a test pilot in the military, so I expected a reserved man that doesn't have much to say, but he's the most charming, outgoing man I've ever met. Like he's building an engine, he puts me back together piece by piece, restores my self-confidence, and heals wounds that I didn't realize were still bleeding. It was supposed to be no attachments, no commitments, but I've fallen head-over-heels for this wonderful man. But I can never tell him—because he's leaving for this next mission in just a few weeks. Who knows when I'll see him again—or if I'll ever seen him again.

"Release Me is the first book in the highly addictive Wolf Hotel Mermaid Beach series, a spin-off of the Wolf Hotel series.
I may not know much, but I am an expert in two things:
Heartbreak.
And hedonism.

Like with my roommate's sister.
And my billionaire boss's lover.

Until I meet Sloane Parker, the woman who has made it her mission to ruin the new Wolf Hotel.
A hotel I'm supposed to help manage, by the way. Yeah. Me, Ronan Lyle, Director of Facilities.
Don't you dare laugh.
I don't need another forbidden woman in my life, especially one who could derail my future.
But what I want? That's a totally different story.
