''He started to work the laces of his boots loose. Toeing them off, he tugged his t-shirt over his head. "Oh my God. What are you doing?" Paige''s voice barely rose above the spray from the showerhead. "I''m washing your damn hair."'' ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ It''s a constant battle on set between sexy home renovation reality star grumpy Gannon and his no-nonsense field producer.

Why would a professional hockey player fly out here, seduce me, and then vanish again? I can''t believe I fell for a liar. I was an idiot. A blinded-by-lust, hopeful idiot who threw myself into bed with a sexy stranger, invited him to dinner with my entire family, and then woke up alone to a note. I hope you can forgive me for lying. Ha. Like that''s ever going to happen. If Beau French or Evanko or whatever the hell his name is ever shows his hot, bearded face in this town again, I''ll make sure he regrets it. To be fair, I practically threw myself at his crotch. And okay, fine. Getting naked with him was the first time I''d felt anything worth feeling since losing my little sister. It''s almost kinda nice to be fueled by the fires of rage instead of the numbness of grief. But I''m certainly not going to thank him for lying and then sneaking out of my bed like a thief in the midafternoon. Thankfully, I have my older sister''s Christmas wedding to distract me. There''s no way he''d show his face there. Besides, there''s no excuse good enough to make me forgive him.

What I feel for you? It''s not healthy. It''s an obsession. From the author of the #1 Amazon bestseller Pretend You''re Mine, Lucy Score once again delivers an unforgettable, suspenseful love story with the first novel in the Sinner & Saint duet. Rule-bound Xavier Saint has seen it all from the battlefield to the behind-the-scenes business of protecting Hollywood''s elite. His private security firm is the best in the country, but he''s sick of protecting vapid starlets from themselves. Which is exactly what he thinks he''s getting into with Waverly Sinner, a second generation screen goddess. But she''s not just another celebrity on self-destruct. Waverly Sinner has everything she never wanted. Parts she doesn''t want to play, dangerously manipulative parents, and a public life devoid of any kind of privacy. She hides the panic attacks and the pain behind a movie-star smile and plots her escape from the life she never chose. Until the sinfully sexy Xavier shows up to slam the door shut on her own private prison. While sparks fly and their battle of wills heats up, a new threat materializes. Someone has been watching her, worshipping her, for years and he''s about to make his very public, very deadly move. Can Xavier stand between her and danger, or will his feelings for Waverly dull his instincts and endanger them both? Author''s Note: This is the first novel in a two-book series. The stories take place five years apart so my astute readers can guess that this one doesn''t have the happily ever after we all love. But I promise, I more than make up for it with the conclusion of Xavier and Waverly''s story in Breaking the Rules.

I''m confused. Do you want me to spy on my fiancé or get naked with you? Both. I thought that was obvious. Revenge.

But he''s not just looking to get her into bed. He needs her help taking down Steven and Victoria and rescuing his family''s company before it''s too late. Ashley''s a regular girl, a normal person. She doesn''t dabble in corporate espionage or illicit affairs. At least she didn''t until Jason... But now she''s in too deep and things are getting dangerous.

This would be a lot easier if you had a sense of humor. This would be a lot easier if you were a man. John Pierce has plans for these two hundred rundown acres.

Now, he''s saddled with a grad student who was supposed to be a he. But the curvy, opinionated Phoebe is a smart-mouthed woman who seems to do nothing but question his every move. She''s ruining his nice, quiet life. And if she doesn''t finish her thesis and get out of his guest room soon, he''s going to have to scare her off. Phoebe desperately needs this degree and the money it will bring. What she doesn''t need is this stubborn farmer''s attitude and his pathological need to avoid her. She''s trapped in this tiny hippie town, trying every trick in the book to get the stalwart John to open up. Her future is on the line. Her family needs her. And she''s not going to let a stubborn farmer stand in her way. Author''s Note: John and Phoebe''s story is a prequel to the Blue Moon series. It follows the heart-warming, hilarious story of how they met, fell in love, and raised their boys together. But do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT read this book first. Read it sometime after book four. I''m protecting your reader experience here. I promise.
