]]> <![CDATA[No Tomorrow (All the Tomorrows, #1)]]> 216615585 Carian Cole brings you a unique angsty love story that will grab you from the first page and keep you in a chokehold.

They say you never forget your first love, and that鈥檚 true. But some loves wrap themselves around your heart and never let go. They鈥檙e not just your first love but your forever love.

That鈥檚 what Blue is to me. My first, only, and forever love.

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. He was playing the guitar in a park with his adorable dog at his side. His smile made my heart race, and his eyes stilled my soul. I was completely captivated by his alluring melancholy. We fell hard and fast, and I dreamed of a forever with him.

Then he disappeared without a trace.

Five years later, I found him. Famous. Charming. Still just as in love with me as I was with him.

But behind the fame and the sexy smile, the quiet, tortured soul I met in the park years ago still lived. I was naive. I didn鈥檛 realize that Blue, my love, was fighting a battle no one could see.

Not even me.

He called me the keeper of his heart, and I guarded it fiercely. He promised me all his tomorrows, and I cherished every single one.

I never wanted or needed a perfect love. I only wanted his love. Our love.

This is our story. It鈥檚 raw and sexy and beautiful and sad and filled with endless ups and downs.

They say love conquers all, and I hope鈥擨 believe鈥攖hat鈥檚 true.

Witches, demons, shifters and humans all live under one rule.

King's.

What he says goes.

So, trying to get the hell out of here hasn鈥檛 been easy.

No one leaves without his permission.

In fact, no one leaves at all...That is, alive.

But I have a plan.

One chance to get out of this nightmare once and for all.

One month is all I need.

One month to stay off King's radar and get the last few items needed for the spell I鈥檝e been working on.

Shouldn鈥檛 be that hard...right?

But turns out King has his own plan. One that involves trading me off to the five alphas of Manhattan.

With King's ultimatum, I have no choice but to go through with it. But I鈥檓 still getting out of here, no matter what.

Or so I thought.

Turns out the five alphas are my mates鈥�

And also, the boys I left behind six years ago.

My life was progressing until my brother died. Since his death, I ached to feel human again, and the feeling I gravitated towards most was danger.

I never experienced that feeling 鈥� until Harry St. James stumbled into my ex-boyfriend's house at 3 am. Covered in blood.

It just so happens that his secrets hold the terror and release that I crave. And I鈥檒l stop at nothing to experience it.

HARRY

Violence and crime are in my nature. I鈥檝e devoted my life to a dark, twisted world in exchange for money and power. I鈥檓 one of the most notorious criminals in London, yet it's all worthless without her.

If I let Gigi Thomas get too close, it will only be a matter of time before I bleed the purity in her dry.

She doesn鈥檛 know everything about me. I鈥檝e been keeping things from her. Dark secrets.

I know more about her family than I let on.

And if she finds out, she鈥檒l kill me.

]]> Don't Kiss the Bride 198472331 Carian Cole delivers a sweet but sexy slow burn, age gap, marriage of convenience romance with major swoony feels!

I guess you could say I was a damsel in distress, and he was my knight in shining armor. But more accurately, I was a girl with a lot of bad luck, and he was a guy with a lot of muscles and tattoos.

Jude 鈥淟ucky鈥� Lucketti wasn鈥檛 just a sexy, brooding construction worker. He was my own personal hero who seemed to be in all the right places at the right times. Like when my car broke down and I needed a ride home, and when I face planted on the sidewalk right in front of him and had to be taken to the emergency room.

Those weren鈥檛 exactly my best moments, but they were his.

We became friends, and it didn鈥檛 matter that he was sixteen years older than me. We had a lot in common鈥攍ike our love of old rock music and vintage fast cars, and our painful pasts that made us leery of love and relationships.

When he approached me with a crazy idea to help me out with my many problems, I couldn鈥檛 say no. He offered me a lifeline.

The arrangement was supposed to be temporary. A marriage on paper and a safe place to live鈥攏othing else.

It should鈥檝e been easy, but it wasn鈥檛. Because here I am, eighteen years old and married to a man I was never supposed to fall in love with. And now, I really don't want that divorce we agreed to.

We had just one rule鈥攏o kissing the bride. But we broke that rule, and it sealed our fate forever.]]> 518 Carian Cole Danny 0 to-read 3.93 2021 Don't Kiss the Bride

No one in Sherwood wanted me. Until they did.

My life was perfectly on track until the night my parents died. A car crash ripped them away from me, and flung me into the grips of my greedy foster father John. Now I鈥檓 fixing cars for minimum wage and trying to lay low until my 21st birthday, when my inheritance鈥攁nd freedom鈥攚ill finally be mine.

Then I discover the ugly truth: John鈥檚 conspiring with Sherwood County鈥檚 corrupt sheriff to lock me down in a conservatorship and steal what鈥檚 rightfully mine. The good ol鈥� boys network won鈥檛 blink an eye, and if I stick around, I鈥檒l be trapped for life.

So I run, to the one place I was always told never, ever to trespass: Sherwood Forest.

And that鈥檚 where they find me.

The wealthy city boy with the acid wit. The absentminded scholar with a heart of gold. The brooding fighter with the overprotective side. And their fearless leader too charming for his own good.

They鈥檙e the outlaws I was warned about. And they鈥檙e not too happy to find me trespassing on their land. They promise not to hurt me鈥攂ut only because they want some kind of ransom.

But the longer they hold me captive, the more I start to鈥ike it. They give me everything I could ever need鈥攆ood, clothes, a whole garage of classic cars to fix up. They鈥檙e clever, talented, and easy on the eyes鈥攏ot the hardened thugs I鈥檇 expected.

I know I shouldn鈥檛 let myself get tempted by听one听of them, let alone all four. Sure, they鈥檙e thicker than thieves and closer than brothers, but no group of guys really shares听everything.

Right?

I may be falling for them, but they鈥檝e got secrets that will explode everything I think I know鈥攁bout the world, about Sherwood, even about myself. And if I鈥檓 not safe with them, I鈥檓 not safe anywhere鈥ecause John鈥檚 made it clear I鈥檓 worth more dead than alive.

Nothing I thought I knew is true. But one thing is clear: deep in Sherwood Forest, the law of the land no longer applies. And now this former good girl wants to break the rules鈥攂adly.

]]> Fall Shook Up 217074850 The grumpy recluse begrudgingly rents me his guest house if I agree to leave him alone. Too bad I've never been good at doing what I'm told.

I am in desperate need of a place to live when my ex-boyfriend unceremoniously kicks me out weeks before a huge break in my career. Things look hopeless until I find a listing for a home that would be perfect, complete with a concise list of dos and don'ts. All I have to do is ignore the alarmingly good-looking owner, Levi, and follow his strict rules.

As the days pass and I continue to push boundaries it gets harder to avoid his sweet compassion, capable hands, and attractive glower. The lines of our strict owner/tenant relationship continue to blur as the truth behind his protective shell is uncovered.

Can I let him be or will my instincts for information trample the intense attraction growing between us?

I'm under deadline, over my head and (F)all shook up thinking about Levi.

]]> Killer of Mine (Of Mine #1) 213946974 She鈥檚 the daughter of a serial killer鈥� they鈥檙e FBI agents鈥�

No one knows Freya is actually the daughter of the Cross-Cut Killer, America鈥檚 most notorious serial killer. Living under a false identity as a detective is isolating but at least Freya鈥檚 safe. That is, until she falls onto the radar of Special Agent River Park and his team.

River, Oz, Elijah and Jude have been chasing the Cross-Cut Killer for years. They鈥檙e the best the FBI has to offer, not to mention unfairly attractive. They know exactly who the killer is but he鈥檚 always one step ahead of them. Freya is about to change that.

When Freya鈥檚 true identity is uncovered, she鈥檚 forced to work with River and his team. All Freya wants is to catch her father, getting involved with not one but four FBI agents would be a very bad idea.

But River and his team aren鈥檛 prepared for the spitfire young woman who鈥檚 too pretty for her own good. She鈥檚 hiding more than scars and a woman with secrets might just be kryptonite to a group of profilers.

Killer of Mine is a full length, mature, New Adult romance with elements of enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, darker moments and on the page spice. This is a why choose romance, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This is book one of a planned trilogy but does not end on a big cliff-hanger.

The night of summer solstice, I do something stupid. Drawn to the fire of magic, I approach the gods in their sacred circle. I am just a mortal, one of many. I shouldn鈥檛 merit their attention.
But behind the royal figures of the gods a shadow looms, menacing yellow eyes burning in its gloom. He asks me to dance. His clawed hands circle my waist, turning me to the sound of hoofbeats while his demonic voice whispers seductive lies in my ear. For one night, and one night only, I let him touch me.
When it鈥檚 morning and gods return to their shrines, he stays. His bloodthirsty shadow follows me, a dark cloak hiding me from the sun and the light of hope. Where I walk, flowers wither and children sicken, touched by his suffocating darkness.
The harder I chase him away, the more he enshrouds me in his powerful presence, his claws trapping my body, his will reaching for my soul.
He takes away my tribe and poisons my life, trying to break me so I take his deal. But the devil is in for a surprise.
I may give him my body, but I鈥檒l never break. With nothing to lose, I am ready to fight.

We have done things that have marked our souls for eternity.

Back to where it all started.
The place I could find in my sleep.
Hollow Heights University in the macabre, somber seaside town of Ponderosa Springs.
A college for prestigious, wealthy children to receive the highest education. A town drowning in treachery and secrets that became our damnation.
But it wasn鈥檛 the forest surrounding the grounds or even the mysterious hidden mausoleum that haunted me.
It was them.
The ones that lurked in the night, things so wicked, so twisted, so evil, they would become the rulers of my nightmares.
The Hollow Boys.
One wrong move and I landed myself directly in their line of fire.
This is not a story about love, it is not a story of happy endings.
Love just happened to blossom in our sorrows, in our pain, our fear, our blood.

]]> <![CDATA[The Maiden & The Unseen (Love & Fate #1)]]> 62827321
Zeus has finally decreed that the gods may leave Olympus and mingle - anonymously - with the mortals of the present. With zero warning or waiting for him to consent to this arrangement, Hades is placed in charge of not only helping the gods assimilate but also financing them. Unlike the other gods, Hades never withdrew from the mortal world. Instead he spent six months of every year among them, building a fortune befitting one of his many names. As long as the gods follow his strict rules for living among mortals, they have access to a generous monthly stipend. Break the rules, lose the privileges. No allowances. Ever.


Goddess of Spring. The Maiden. The Mistress. The Venerable One...The Social Media Manager.

For the last two years, Persephone has lived among the mortals, enjoying everything the world she was so sheltered from has to offer. It took years of begging since Zeus's decree to get her mother to allow her to go, and she imparted some strict rules to follow. Rule 1: No fraternizing with other gods. As far as Demeter is aware, Persephone's closest friend is definitely not Helios, the Titan of the Sun. Rule 2: No men. The mortal she's casually dating doesn't even know the gods exist. Rule 3: Every six months, Demeter comes by for a visit. This one Persephone can't get out of, and if it keeps her mother from investigating Persephone's life, what's the harm?


Destiny. Fate. Fortune. Kismet...An absolute bitch.

Fate has other ideas for Hades and Persephone, and it does not take lightly to being denied. Struggle and fight all they want. But the threads of destiny have wrapped tightly around them and tugs them tighter and tighter, no matter what the gods themselves have to say about it.]]> 465 Jeanette Rose Danny 0 to-read 3.93 The Maiden & The Unseen (Love & Fate #1)

A treacherous game of loyalty begins, and a rival risen from the dead, marked in scars and secrets, may be her only way free. But in a realm where everyone is starved for power, is anyone trustworthy?

Freedom has a cost. In this realm, it鈥檚 in the mist of souls and the blood of tar. Stab yourself and burn, let an enemy take your head and place it on a pedestal, or abide by magic and return to the abyss. How much would you be willing to sacrifice?

For Vellene 鈥� everything, anything.

I was dead wrong.

No record of any Nico Rivas can be found in any database, yet that's the name he gave. And with my need to control everything around me, I had to know the truth of his story.

So, like any normal person would do, I hid cameras in his house, tracked his every move, and even watched him while he worked. Minute after minute, day after day, month after freaking month I watched and still came up with nothing.

It鈥檚 been seventeen months, twenty-seven days, five hours and I鈥檓 done waiting. Nico is about to come face-to-face with my alter ego, the one who scares even the toughest of men in town. As long as he can accept both sides of me, I'll make his secret dreams come true. He just has to face his darkest nightmares first.

Every few millennia, a child is born.
Some say they鈥檙e marked with a curse.
Others claim they possess the power of the ages.

Meet Ophelia Hart. Lover of classic literature and unicorns. An orphan with nobody in her corner鈥攏o family, no friends. But it鈥檚 her loneliness that fuels her life鈥檚 ambition to become a social worker and help the forgotten children just like her. For a foster kid with only slightly above-average grades, it feels like a pipe dream.

Except it seems that someone is looking out for Ophelia after all. When an unexpected opportunity to attend Montridge University arises, she thinks her life is finally taking a turn for the better.

Too bad she comes to the attention of the three ruthless, arrogant commanders of the Ruby Dragon Society. Three of the most feared and powerful vampires on campus.

But Ophelia doesn鈥檛 believe in vampires. Or in witches, or magic, or ancient prophecies.

Until she has no choice. Little does she know, she鈥檚 about to have her whole world turned upside down. Because there is something about Ophelia Hart. Something that captures not only the attention of the Ruby Dragon commanders, but also their powerful, enigmatic sire鈥擯rofessor Alexandros Drakos.

With no idea of the power running through her veins, Ophelia must learn to trust the very men whom all others fear. And she needs to do it fast, for there are darker forces at work than those at Montridge University. Forces that were long ago Forged in Blood.

]]> <![CDATA[Close to Midnight (Reed Twins #1)]]> 201012055 Sally
From the moment I walked away from my old life and started a new one in the small town of Shadowvale, I learned there were three rules I should follow if I wanted to survive鈥�

don鈥檛 go outside at night alone.

don鈥檛 ask questions about the obviously haunted house at the far side of town.

And don鈥檛 catch Hunter Reed鈥檚 attention.

Me? I broke all three almost immediately.

The Reeds own Shadowvale. They live in the haunted house, and everyone seems afraid of them. Everyone, that is, except for me.

Something about Hunter has me drawn to him like a moth to a flame. I know I could burn if I get too close, but that doesn鈥檛 stop me鈥� and when he invites me to his house for Halloween, I would鈥檝e gone even if he didn鈥檛 offer two grand for a night with me.

I guess I should鈥檝e known that nothing is free鈥攁nd the only way I can escape him is if I find my way out of his family graveyard by midnight.

But鈥� what if I don鈥檛 want to?


Hunter

It was her big doe eyes that caught my attention, and the haunted smile that triggered my predatory side.

Sally鈥� my sweet Sally.

I鈥檝e watched her from the shadows, keeping her safe from a distance. I鈥檓 too dark, too twisted to corrupt her鈥� but, as it turns out, my twin isn鈥檛.

Our birthday is Halloween. Tonight, I expected to hunt鈥攖o kill鈥攂ut when Nicholas sets Sally in my path, midnight starts the beginning of my chase.

If I catch her, I can do anything I want. She agreed to it, and as the hours pass, it becomes clear to me that she isn鈥檛 trying all that hard to get away.

Which is for the best since I have no intention of ever letting my little doe escape me now鈥�



*Close to Midnight is a standalone dark romance novella that is set on Halloween, can be read all year round! It tells the story of one half of the murderous Reed twins, and the one woman he鈥檒l do anything for鈥]> 200 Carin Hart Danny 0 to-read 3.81 Close to Midnight (Reed Twins #1)

]]> <![CDATA[Masked Sins (Ravaged Castle, #4)]]> 218713976 鈥淲here pain and pleasure converge 鈥� her submission becomes my darkest playground.鈥�

Orion
As the youngest Ravage brother, I鈥檝e spent too much time partying and drinking away my life.
Now that I鈥檓 sober, I鈥檝e learned to channel my need for control. And I share my knowledge online, as a masked persona.
The last person I expect to message me is Layla, the daughter of the man my mom married.
She鈥檚 always been my greatest temptation, and when she unknowingly confides in my alias, her deepest fantasies become my new obsession.
Behind the mask, I teach her the art of surrender鈥攁nd she鈥檚 eager to learn every lesson.
And when the mask comes off, her resistance only fuels my desire to break and corrupt her.
Completely.

Layla
As a ballet dancer by day, everyone sees me as the epitome of grace and innocence.
But beneath the good-girl facade, I have dark, hidden desires I鈥檝e never told anyone about.
Connecting with a mysterious masked man online seems like the perfect solution.
He dominates me from behind a screen, making me his willing student.
But Orion鈥檚 return to my life only complicates matters鈥攁nd our forbidden chemistry is impossible to ignore.
I鈥檓 caught between the stranger鈥檚 sadistic magnetism and Orion鈥檚 intoxicating charm.
As it turns out 鈥� they both revel in sculpting my desires with skilled hands and cruel smiles that promise both heaven and hell.

Masked Sins is a full-length, 鈥渉is mom married her dad鈥� billionaire romance with intense themes. It is book four in the Ravaged Castle series. All books can be read as standalones.

This book contains a possessive, jealous antihero who鈥檚 a sadistic Dominant, explicit sexual situations, and strong language. Despite that, our guy is a bit of a cinnamon roll for Layla. There is no cheating, it is not a love triangle, and there is a HEA.]]> 470 Amanda Richardson Danny 5 鈥� 4.12 Masked Sins (Ravaged Castle, #4)

]]> <![CDATA[Between Desire and Denial (The Hardy Billionaire Brothers, #4)]]> 210044348 Dimitri Hardy and I were never really supposed to be friends.

He was a risky, over-the-top investor. I was trying to avoid the glamorous lifestyle my parents had raised me in.
He was fun and laid back. I was wound tight and dramatic.
He had his life put together. I did not.

So having Dimitri witness my breakup was a low moment. Especially since my boyfriend was also my professor, and after cheating on me, he decided to make me redo my master's thesis.

But Dimitri saw an opportunity. He offered to assist with my thesis. In exchange, I would help him gain the trust of the upscale town where I'd grown up-one he'd just heavily invested in.

His proposal:
Move back home and fake a relationship with him for the summer.
Show my town he's trustworthy.
Adore one another in public and pretend there's no desire brewing in private.
It seems like an easy plan.

But what Dimitri doesn't understand is that a few months in my hometown can ruin you . . . and one summer of denying my desire of his stolen touches and longing stares just might ruin me too.]]> 409 Shain Rose 1956810161 Danny 2
Anyway, let me explain my reasons鈥�
I don鈥檛 even know where to start, honestly. Their conversations were so cringy and lackluster. It kept going around and around and every single time it would come back to the same discussions. Olive kept saying she wanted to date other men after finding out her ex boyfriend cheated on her, she wanted to experience more and see what was out there but she ended up on Dimitri鈥檚 bed every night, even though she kept pushing they were fake and that it was nothing more than sex, she still fell for her 鈥渄esire鈥� every single time.
Not that Dimitri left her a choice. He was so controlling and not in a sexy possessive way, it was just wrong for me. She said over and over she wasn鈥檛 ready for a family, for kids or even for a relationship and what did he do? Threw away her birth control, because he was 鈥渃oncerned it was giving her migraines鈥濃� all while saying that he 鈥渉oped to have knocked her up鈥� after having unprotected sex.
Olive was honestly a doormat. She would fight him about seeing other men, she would sleep with him, turn around and go on dating apps to find someone else saying she wanted to 鈥渆xplore鈥�, knowing full well she was just in complete denial. She was so annoying with this whole spiel every single time, she would say she was going on a date, he would get growly and prohibit her from going, she would get mad and that鈥檚 it. Rinse repeat.
Dimitri鈥檚 鈥渂reeding kink鈥� was not giving what was supposed to, it was controlling and completely unacceptable in a definitely bad way.

Okay, now the plot. Or the lack thereof.
There was no reason for the fake dating, the main reason behind it was weak and boring. Throughout the book so much info was dumped, adding the Irish mafia, with the Armanelli鈥檚 Italian mafia in the middle and a secret society? Nothing made sense. And half of the book was people saying Olive should be careful and that Dimitri should keep an eye on her, all for nothing to happen and for it all to be resolved in a blink of an eye at the last chapter and epilogue. It was insane. I feel so bad for not liking this but I had to be honest, I might be kicked out of the arc team for it but I wouldn鈥檛 lie just because. Anyway, I had such high hopes for this last book of the series and I simply hated it.

]]> My Avenging Angel 8225495 To save her life, he must break a covenant-and lose his heart.

An Angels and Demons story.

It's Victoria Bloom's twenty-fifth birthday. But is she out celebrating? Oh, no. She's in a stuffy old attic with the Three Stooges-a.k.a. her so-called spirit guides. There's a demon who wants her dead, the same one that killed her mother two decades ago. No worries, say the Stooges. All she has to do is summon an angel. What could go wrong?

Well, plenty when you summon the wrong angel. The next thing Tory knows, she's got one very bad-ass, pissed-off and sexy Archangel on her hands.


Michael, mighty warrior, leader of an elite team of demon killers, is shaking in his heavenly combat boots. Not because he finds all humans distasteful. But because he'd rather face Lucifer himself than the woman his soul has just recognized as his mate. Binding himself to a mortal, one who will eventually die, is the one path he's sworn never to follow.


It's too late now; his fate is sealed. With one touch, she becomes as necessary to him as the air he breathes. He will move heaven and earth to protect her-but against a demon as powerful as Asmodeus, heaven and earth may not be enough . . .

Until now.

He wants to save her.
She wants to hide.

She's damaged.
He's determined.

Fate brought them together.
Love binds them.

Johnny Kavanagh has everything going for him. On the rugby pitch, he's a force to be reckoned with. Primed for stardom, he's heading straight for the top. Nothing can possibly get in his way, right?
Not even the shy new girl at Tommen College. The one with the sad eyes and hidden bruises. The one that distracts him like no one ever has.
Plagued with a hidden injury and desperate to impress the scouts watching his every move, Johnny has been placed on a pedestal so high, he has no room to make mistakes.
Striving to maintain balance, and on the crest of the International Summer Campaign, Johnny needs to keep his head in the game. He needs to stay focused, and cannot afford to let distractions get in the way of the bigger picture.
But what happens when a lonely girl with sad eyes becomes the only picture?

Life has never been easy for Shannon Lynch. Bullied and tortured, she arrives at Tommen College mid-way through the school year praying for a fresh start and desperate to shake off the demons that plague her.
On her very first day at the prestigious private school, she comes into contact with the notorious Johnny Kavanagh.
Thrown through a hoop over her feelings for him, and desperate to keep a low-profile, Shannon finds herself once again the target of bullies as she forms a fragile alliance with rugby's rising star.

Falling into a complicated friendship and grappling with their undeniable chemistry, Johnny and Shannon must face obstacles that threaten their relationship.

Two teenagers from opposite sides of the tracks collide.

Friendship, first love, rising fame, horrifying secrets, and pain all fuel together in Binding 13.

Hearts are binding and lives are entwining in Binding 13.

Binding 13 is the explosive first installment of a brand-new series from Chloe Walsh. Based in Ireland, the Boys Of Tommen series is bound to captivate and lure you into the world of rugby, love, and teenage heartbreak.]]> 626 Chloe Walsh Danny 0 to-read 4.43 2018 Binding 13 (Boys of Tommen, #1)

]]> Heartless Heathens 63108638 Over here.
No, look up.
Yeah, I鈥檓 the one they talk about. The headmaster鈥檚 prized possession, locked away in the bell tower of NotreDame Parochial College. To most of the students I was just a myth.
An urban legend.
The girl who rings the bells up in the tower, the one who talks to gargoyles.

Frollo鈥檚 secret

Then they showed up, those heartless heathens. Outcasts, just like me. But these men aren鈥檛 just dangerous, they鈥檙e heartless. They won鈥檛 abide or bend to the rules of this deranged school and the secrets it keeps from the world.

But now that they鈥檝e found me, they may never let me go.
And maybe I wouldn鈥檛 want them to鈥�

]]> Heart Trick (East Coast, #1) 193420780
My new neighbor is a jerk. Sure, he鈥檚 the embodiment of tall, dark, and handsome, and he looks like he could crush a watermelon between his muscular thighs. But he has managed to become enemy number one within the first forty-eight hours of moving into the apartment next door.

I may have retaliated and escalated the situation. I鈥檓 not above being petty, and I鈥檓 determined to make him break first.

Until he sees my cheating ex-boyfriend giving me a hard time outside our building and steps in to help. If it weren鈥檛 for the pictures in the press the next morning, I would鈥檝e assumed his act of kindness was just a fever dream. But my face is everywhere鈥攍abeled as hockey star Trenton Ward鈥檚 new girlfriend.

Now, my grumpy neighbor鈥檚 agent wants to run with this story. Apparently, his image needs some sprucing. (I can鈥檛 imagine why with such a charming personality.) I agree under one I get to use him for inspiration in the new romance book I鈥檓 working on.

I swear I meant it in the figurative sense when I signed the contract.

But after a few fake dates and a toe-curling kiss, Trenton turns into my experimental guinea pig for all my spicy scenes. I may be fake dating one of the NHL鈥檚 best goalies, but out of all the things we do, faking it is not one of them.

Only, falling in love wasn鈥檛 in the fine print.]]> 184 Kristen Granata Danny 0 to-read 3.83 Heart Trick (East Coast, #1)
