From New York Times bestseller, Kendall Ryan, comes a sexy new standalone novel. My tempting and very alpha friend Sterling Quinn is someone I consider off-limits. It''s not just that we''re friends, he''s also cocky, confident, and British, which means he''s a walking aphrodisiac. But lately he''s been giving me the look. You know the one. When he thinks I''m not paying attention, and his gaze lingers for too long. When we start working together, that''s when the sexual tension between us gets so thick, I want to hack through it with a machete. I want to make all these deep feelings I''ve harbored for him disappear, because there''s no way this can end well. The lines between business and pleasure become irrevocably blurred, and I''m stuck between a rock and Sterling''s very, very hard place. Rather than keep a level head about our growing attraction, Sterling wants to go all in, showing me just how explosive we can be together. But I''ve been around long enough to know that this British bad boy is more than my heart can handle. I''m not about to be cast aside like yesterday''s underwear when he''s done having fun. Sterling’s never been told no, and he''s not about to put his ego aside and play by my rules. But I never thought he''d fight so dirty.

I''m a retired Navy SEAL, not a babysitter. But my former commander''s spoiled princess needs somewhere to stay for the summer. How can I say no after everything he''s done for me? When I get one look at Brynn, I know this would never work. She''s not a little girl anymore, and there''s no way I can resist her while living under the same room. I want to fill my hands with her supple curves, watch her sapphire eyes glaze over with pleasure, and hear her scream out my name. Repeatedly. She has to go . . . before I do something to tarnish the little princess. My plan goes to hell when my ex catches wind of the new woman in my life. To strike back at the bitch who ripped my heart out and claims she can get me back anytime, I introduce Brynn as my new fiancee. Now we have to keep up the act. All summer long. Brynn has her own agenda. She''ll play along, but only as long as I help her smooth things over with her dad so she can win back her freedom. She doesn''t want to be here, and it''s the one thing we can agree on. My new mission, the hardest one I''ve ever taken on, is keeping my hands off my boss''s daughter. But things are about to get messy.

When Greyson Archer tosses a twenty on the stage of a strip club, the last thing he expects to see are the haunted green eyes staring at him. Finley should be home raising her infant daughter and baking cookies, not tucking singles into her G-string and giving lap dances. Greyson can''t deny that he''d like his own private show, but there''s not a chance in hell of that happening. The last time the former Navy SEAL saw her she was dressed in black, holding a folded flag and sobbing that it was all his fault... and he agreed with every single word. He couldn''t do anything to help her then, but he can now. Finley deserves better than this dingy club, and when an obsessed customer crosses the line, Greyson leads the rescue and will do whatever it takes to make amends for their broken past. He never expected to want to settle down, but with Finley, everything is different. For the first time ever, he can breathe.
