Lilly Henderson Until We Trust: A Spicy Contemporary Romance (Until Series) Book 3 of 3: Until Series

 

Everything about her turns into a new favorite of mine: her sweet, flowery scent, the feel of her soft skin under my fingertips, her delicious taste, and now the soft sounds she makes when she can’t hide that she’s attracted to me too. -Paul

A Chance Encounter.

A Happily Ever After within Reach.

Right?

Tessa has only two priorities in life: taking care of her younger brother after their parents’ tragic death eight years ago and running her florist shop.

When her best friend pulls her out of her “All Work/No Play” - zone, she’s reluctant at first but quickly discovers that prioritizing her own needs is something she should have done much sooner.

Throw in a handsome and sweet guy who sweeps her off her feet, and Tessa feels happier than she has in a long time. Paul—along with Hank, his adorable Golden Retriever—thwarts her plans not to date anymore, and he pushes her out of her comfort zone in the best kind of way. While instant attraction draws them to each other at first, their connection is more than skin-deep. After discovering that they share a similar heartbreaking past, a deeper bond forms between them.

It seems they finally found what they didn’t realize they had been looking for, so nothing stands in the way of a Happily Ever After.

Right?

Rebecca Gannon Captivated: A Mafia Romance (Carfano Crime Family) Book 6 of 7: Carfano Crime Family

 

Nico Carfano walked back into my life at the worst possible moment. Or, perhaps the best possible moment if I wasn't so stubborn... 

Cassandra f*cking Connelly is my fantasy girl I let walk away.

I promised her a weekend of fun, nothing more, but that was before I found out how addictive she was.

It was easier to keep my distance when I was in New York, but when I have to go back to Atlantic City, it takes every ounce of strength I have to not show up at her door so I can remind her how good we were.

I thought I’d be safe going out with my cousins while they’re in town, since the last place I expected to find her was on stage, dancing in my family’s club. But there she was.

Even with her back to me, I know it’s her.

I know how her body moves because I spent three days memorizing it.

I know the exact shade of her red hair because I saw it splayed out on my pillows and had it wrapped around my fist every chance I got.

I know the script of her tattoo on the back of her thigh because I spent hours tracing it, trying to decipher the language.

She shouldn’t be here.

I’m the one the family relies on to always be in control of my emotions. But if anything is going to make me lose that, it’s everyone getting to see what should be mine, and mine alone, put on a show that has me ready to spill blood.

Cassie just stepped into my world, and I make the rules here.

She keeps her heart guarded and her secrets buried deep. She doesn’t want me meddling in her life, and made it clear she doesn’t want my help even when I know she needs it.

Despite trying to hold me at a distance, she keeps taking steps towards me, only to take three back when she realizes how close she’s getting.

But I'll win this war.

There's no other option.

Harlow James Somewhere You Belong: Carrington Cove Book 1 (Carrington Cove Series) Book 1 of 3: Carrington Cove Series

 

One letter changed my life.

One night with him might change my forever. 

Inheriting a beach house in a small town you’ve never heard of is less than ideal.

Falling for the broody bar owner who hates me because he wants the house? Even worse.

I came to Carrington Cove for one reason—to renovate the home I knew nothing about, sell it, and get back to my life in D.C. and my multi-million dollar business.

There was nothing on the agenda about falling for Dallas, the sexy former Marine who chastises me about my manners and withholds how to fend off the murderous geese on my property.

Fighting with him becomes our own messed up form of foreplay. But his tongue? Turns out it has other talents than just sparring with me verbally.

Our banter turns to moans in the dark, our arguments turn to learning more about each other, and the closer we get, the more I question whether I’m meant to stay here with the man I’m falling for.

Until one night, I realize that he and I share a connection neither one of us could have seen coming.

Would I leave this town feeling more lost in my life than ever before?

Or was it possible that I finally found somewhere I belong?

All she wants is to forget her troubles, and a night out seems like the perfect solution.

Erin FitzGerald Something Sacrificed (Wolf Mountain Ranchers) Book 4 of 4: Wolf Mountain Ranchers

 

Some people would call this a midlife crisis, but I know better. I’m too old for that.

Pulling up my shallow roots, I decide on a whim to move from Texas to Montana, leaving what I’ve known for the past three decades.

The woman I cross paths with at the county fair is one I’ve known from a distance for twenty years, someone to whom I’ve grown close: My best friend’s widow, Genesis Dawson, who’s running the family ranch after her husband’s tragic death.

Startled by her unexpected appearance, I muddy the waters, creating a situation I can’t seem to fix. But a bigger problem is that her ranch is under threat and she stands to lose the investment of four generations.

Can I mend what I’ve broken and convince her not to make the biggest mistake of her life?

Lore Townsend Savage Lover Part of: Off-Limits Lovers (3 books)

 

“Do you like scary movies?”

Little did I know the mysterious vixen who picked me up in a bar one night would have me starring in my own.

I invited her to a penthouse upstairs…

I did not invite her to make me question my grasp on reality.

I’m used to being in control. Control of myself, control of my life…control of my dark desires.

But when that girl runs, the beast inside me comes out to chase her.

I should be focused on finding my son and getting his butt in the seat I secured for him at Harvard.

Instead, I’ve got my hands wrapped around the throat of this wild, addictive woman while she screams everything but her safeword.

For the first time since my wife passed over a decade ago, I’m considering letting go of the promise I made to be the perfect role model for my son and invite Victoria to join my real life in New York when her contract at the resort is up.

But there’s something about the way she keeps our relationship a secret from everyone around her that gives me pause.

I know every inch of her curvy, athletic body. I know where she’ll hide when I chase her. I know just how it feels when those glassy green eyes pierce into me as I give into yet another of her scary games.

But old habits die hard, and I’ve been a lawyer for too long to let this go.

If one of my clients came to me with this situation…

I’d tell him he doesn’t really know that woman at all.

Martina Dale THE TRACK (The Blackmoore Brothers) Book 4 of 4: The Blackmoore Brothers

 

First impressions can be so wrong. 

People think I’m a pampered princess. My designer clothes, my lavish lifestyle and my painted-on smile. What people don’t know is that I hate it. I hate it all and I’d give anything to escape the hell I face every single damn day.

When Drew Blackmoore trots into my life, he sets something alight inside me. He’s a grumpy, foul mouthed but seriously gorgeous racehorse owner and trainer. He’s the best there is, and he knows it too. The way he swaggers around, and the way his shirts only just fit his huge shoulders, makes all the ladies swoon at his feet.

He’s also a man who isn’t afraid of my father and his associates. He’s a gorgeous man who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to reach out and grab it. He loves his horses more than any other human on the planet. No one comes before his four-legged fillies, especially me. I drive him crazy. I make his blood boil and not in a fun way and he’s even more gorgeous when he’s hot under the collar. Did I say he’s gorgeous?

To say my father dislikes him is the biggest understatement ever. All because he’s an American and knows his own worth… or so I thought. The hatred runs a lot deeper than the eye first sees.

If I go against my family, I’ll lose everything I’ve ever known.

I know I’m heading for a fall; I just don’t know what will get broken first.

IZZY DONOVAN was the breath in my lungs and my most torturous temptation.
The girl no guy could get. Except for me.
And one other.
I’d held my distance from her as long as I could, desperate not to ruin her life, but now, it may be too late.
Every reason that kept me from her before was rolling in, trampling over her life and her dreams, and I had no one to blame but myself. I’d promised to keep her safe, and I was failing. But I couldn’t pull away, not if I didn’t want to lose us.
Losing us meant losing everything, and even when tragedy struck, I knew…
I WOULD PROTECT HER, PROTECT US, AT ALL COSTS.
