The sexy, emotional sequel to the NYT Bestseller Night After Night... Their world was passion, pleasure and secrets. Far too many secrets. But Clay Nichols can''t get Julia Bell out of his mind. He''s so drawn to her, and to the nights they shared, that he can''t focus on work or business. Only her. And she''s pissing him off with her hot and cold act. She has her reasons though-she''s trying to stay one step ahead of the trouble that''s been chasing her for months now, thanks to the criminal world her ex dragged her into. If only she can get out of this mess, then maybe she can invite the man who ignites her back in her life, so she can have him-heart, mind and body.

And they''ll learn just how much more there is to the intense sexual chemistry they share, and whether love can carry them well past the danger of her past and into a new future, after this night...

I''m breaking up with set-ups. No more "can I introduce you to my son, nephew, grandson, the butcher, the guy down the street who mows my lawn." Machines know what''s best, and I''ll rely on the great dating algorithms of the web to find the ideal man, thank you very much.

Turns out there''s more to our meeting than I had thought, and when we discover what truly brought us together, all bets are off.

"That inked bad boy who''s been flirting hard with me since he rode into town? Turns out he''s my new housemate, which is one hell of a problem since our chemistry is so hot it should be illegal.

I need total focus--not a flirty, dirty, irresistible, tattooed hottie riding into my town on his motorcycle. Can I arrest him for being too good-looking? When he kisses me senseless in the back of a waffle truck, it''s criminal, the things he makes me think about hot syrup and melted butter. One order of hot, fluffy hookup to go, please. But the next time I see him, it''s not for our date with benefits. He''s the guy who just rented the room above my garage. I need the rent to pay my bills, not a man like Derek, who I soon discover to be strong, caring, generous, good with kids, and kind to puppies... If I''m not careful, he''ll be moving into my heart as well as my house. *** A no-strings-attached fling with the fiery redhead who revs my engine? Why, yes, that does sound like a delicious perk of my new job in this new town, thank you very much. I''m coming off a bad relationship, and I have zero interest in anything serious. I''ve got all the serious I need helping my sister take care of her three little kids while her husband is deployed. Except, surprise! Perri isn''t just my future fling. Turns out she''s my sexy, sassy landlord. A lease definitely counts as "strings attached," and as much as I''d like to get tangled in her sheets, I can''t let myself get tangled up in a relationship. But as soon as we put the cuffs on our escapades, I learn over late-night conversations in the kitchen, that my landlord is so much more than the sexiest woman I''ve ever met- she has a quick mind and the biggest heart. Once I''m in, I''m all in. And to convince her that we should see where this goes, I plan on turning up the heat--and not just in the kitchen." -- Back cover.
