Girl Dad's a Rising Star

CARTER

This is it, my chance, my big break, my first tour. I knew when I was signed to White Picket Fence Records that my life was going to change. I wanted it. I craved it. Finally getting the chance to make it into a career is almost everything I’ve ever wanted.

Music and Leighla. Those are the two things that kept me going through the hard times. Leighla has been the light in my darkness since the moment she was born, even as the relationship with her mother crumbled around me. She made her choices; her daughter and I weren’t it.

I can’t leave my daughter behind as I go on tour, I’d never survive that long without her sweetness and smiles. Melody is a godsend and is there for Leighla when I can’t be. She’s on tour to do a job, but when I look at Melody, all I want is to give her pleasure. It’s a horrible idea and could cost me everything. I’ll risk it. She’s mine and by the end of the tour I’m going to make sure she knows it.

MELODY

I need this job. I need my internship to turn into a career that I’m proud of. I have one shot to make myself indispensable to the label. I will make sure Leighla is given the care she needs so that Carter can go out on stage knowing that she’s safe and happy. Leighla loves her Daddy, and I can understand why Carter doesn’t want to be away from his adorable little girl.

There’s one big, huge, gigantic, momentous problem with my job. Carter is the sexiest man I’ve ever met and when he melts for his daughter, I find myself doing the same…but for him. I try to ignore it, but every look he gives me makes it harder to stay professional. Every touch lights me up and makes me want to sing.

I can’t let these feelings get in the way of my duties. Falling in love with the father-daughter duo isn’t part of my job description. I could lose everything I’ve worked for, but maybe I could gain so much more than a paycheck.

*Carter appears in Following His North Star (Suburban Outcasts Book 4)

AUTUMN

When James, one of the brothers behind J&J Construction, hired me as a receptionist I thought my luck was turning around. I should have asked more questions about the other J because where James has an easy smile and rolls with things, Jaxson is rigid and doesn’t know the definition of coloring outside the lines. I don’t think Jaxson likes me very much because I always thought those lines were more suggestions than boundaries.

It would be okay if Jaxson wasn’t the sexiest man I’ve ever laid eyes on. I have become a walking, talking cliché complete with a boss who makes me swoon and lose all my mental faculties. I can’t seem to stop making a fool of myself in front of him, somehow becoming an uncoordinated newborn giraffe as soon as I get a whiff of him.

I don’t think I can keep doing this. It’s embarrassing. I’ve decided, for Boss’s Day I’m going to give Jaxson the only present I’m sure he wants: my resignation.

JAXSON

I don’t know what the James was thinking when he hired Autumn because everything about her screams unorganized distraction. Maybe the distraction part is only a problem I have because I can’t seem to keep my eyes or mind off her. The whole thing grates on my last nerve. I knew I shouldn’t have taken a few vacation days. Somehow, he found the one candidate destined to turn me inside out and turn me on like no one else.

The more I’m around her, the longer she works for me at J&J Construction, the harder it is for me to keep myself in check. I need order, I understand it, but she’s come in and messed everything up, making me want to throw all the rules and my regulated life out the window. I’m not sure when or how, but I’m finding the chaos she brings to my life and business endearing instead of annoying.

She got under my skin. She might think I want her to leave so I can find order again, but she’s wrong. She shook me up, reminded me there’s more to life and I’m not letting her go. I’m going to make her mine.

It is a standalone, but J&J Construction appears in Less Than Strangers (Stranger Shoot Book 6) and exists within my Denver Family world.

KEVIN

I’m used to making good first impressions because I get better tips when I do. Somehow, when I meet a firecracker of a woman who wants the same angel costume I have my hands on, it’s obvious how much she dislikes me.

I don’t care because I’m going to get the costume for my coworker. I made a promise and I’m going to keep it by any means necessary. Only, now I can’t get Remi out of my mind. A Halloween party might do the trick. I’m going to take full advantage of having the night off from bartending at The Mile High.

I wasn’t expecting to see Remi at the party, but there she is in all her angelic glory. I want her, but there’s nothing angelic about how she feels about me. It’s all fire and brimstone in her glares. I don’t know how I’m going to pull it off, but I’m going to make her mine. I might need a little help and I think I know who to ask.

REMI

They say the devil you know is better than the one you don’t. I don’t know if it’s true, but when I meet Kevin, he is the devil I never want to see again. All I wanted was to get a costume for the Halloween party at Suburban Outcast’s mansion, but I walk out of the store empty handed. All because of Kevin.

I figure I’ll never see him again, even though with one look he had me wanting things I shouldn’t even think about. It doesn’t matter because I can’t have him. So why does it feel like he’s haunting me? A wild night at a Halloween party is just what I need.

It’s no treat when I see him again at the party and I feel the way his dark eyes follow me all night. I won’t let him bring down my night. Just when I think I’ve gotten him out of my head, I’m tricked. I should have known my glares wouldn’t be enough to deter him. 

It is a standalone but is related to my 3 Denver Family series (Banks Ink., Suburban Outcasts and Higgins Security). Meet Kevin in Forever His Family (Higgins Security Book 4).

ELLA

I’ve explored a lot within the walls of Club Sin, but it hasn’t been quite right. I’ve found pleasure, but I’m still searching for what or who makes my body come alive like it never has before. It’s a place where no one knows more than I want them to, and I feel free. 

I wasn’t expecting to walk in one night to find three men who I haven’t seen in ten years. I know I’ve changed since they saw me last and, in some ways, they have too. Maybe I haven’t changed enough because the moment I see them again, I know they’re the only ones who can give me what I want, what I need.

My brother, Landon, is the reason I knew them way back when. Then they all went off to serve our country while I grew up. Now they’re back and working for Landon at Sullivan Protections. With the enemies Landon’s made, he’s the reason I could be in danger.

When Owen, Barrett and Colt are assigned to protect me, how far will it go? Will they keep me safe? Will they show me a new way to play, a new fantasy I didn’t even know I had? How long will it last? Once they sink their teeth into me, will I ever be able to walk away again?

COLT

Ella thaws the ice around my heart. I’ll make sure she stays safe because she’s ours. Nothing is going to stop me, us. Not even Landon, even if he is our oldest friend. She makes me warm when I’ve been cold for far too long. Her skin begs for my mark.

BARRETT

She’s ours.

OWEN

We’ve been trained. Our skills have been honed. We’ve been made into soldiers, but none of us saw Ella coming. By the time we make eye contact the first night we visit Club Sin, it’s too late. We never stood a chance. I can see it in the way Colt melts for her and the way Barrett’s walls crumble.

Protecting her was never in question. It took only a second and she became our prey, but she doesn’t run. She wants to be caught. I bet she tastes delicious.

DARREN

The holiday season is always full of good cheer, togetherness, and unity. I usually love spending time with my family, whether it’s Christmas, Kwanzaa, or New Year’s. I got through Christmas unscathed, but now my mother has decided, in the name of unity, to set me up with an old flame.

It’s not a relationship I want rekindled. I know what is buried underneath the ash and it isn’t pretty.

Walking into Fern’s shop, hoping to soften my mother’s determination, I wasn’t expecting to find exactly what I’ve been looking for. Fern might think her only purpose is to be a buffer for my ex, but I’ll show her I want her in my life longer than one night.

I’ll show her this is the start of forever. By the seventh night of Kwanzaa she’ll be mine.

FERN

I love helping people find the perfect flowers to convey whatever is in their hearts. An apology. A declaration of love. Grief.

When Darren walks into my shop to get some flowers for his mom for Kwanzaa, I thought it would be just another transaction, just another bouquet. When he needs more from me than the perfect bloom, I’m more than willing to step in and be the girl on his arm for dinner. A night of good food and family won’t be a hardship as long as I can ignore the pang of wanting it to be more.

His ex hates me on sight and his mother isn’t much better. The only bright spots are his sister, who has her own guest for dinner, and his grandmother, who has a wicked sense of humor and all-seeing eyes. If I get through dinner, I promise to stay in my shop where I belong. I’ll keep my good deeds to fulfilling other people’s flower needs and nothing more.

There’s a purpose in Darren’s eyes I’m not sure how to interpret. With every look and every touch, I find myself hoping for more than the seven nights of Kwanzaa. Could he want more too?

FELICITY

I’ve been too busy to keep up with most pop culture things the last few years. Between keeping the last shreds of my family together and trying to pay my bills, sleep and work have been the only constants. I should have known Hudson Meadows wasn’t some nobody off the street, but I didn’t.

Waking up married is a…surprise. I figure it’ll be a PR nightmare for a musician like Hudson who has been chasing stardom and is finally finding it. More shocking than the rock on my finger is Hudson telling me he doesn’t want to annul this sham. He says I’m his? Maybe fame has gone to his head.

I should have known better. I’ve seen it time and time again. What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas, especially when there’s an “I do” involved.

HUDSON

Fame isn’t what I thought it would be when I was just a naïve kid with a song in my heart and the dreams of stage lights in my eyes. Now, knowing the other side, it’s a little lonely and hollow. Meeting Felicity is like waking up for the first time.

I don’t remember exactly how I did it, but I convinced the woman meant for me to sign her name on the dotted line and let me slip a ring on her finger. White Picket Fence Records isn’t thrilled about my impromptu wedding, but I don’t care. She’s my wife and it’s going to stay that way.

Vows were said and I’m a man of my word. Felicity might not believe or understand it, but I’m not letting her go. She’s leaving Vegas with me, and I won’t be taking no for an answer.

ALICE

Going to Mardi Gras has been on my bucket list for a long time so I decided to make it happen. It’s everything I wanted my trip to be. The sounds, the sights, the food, the fun, the beads. Right up until it goes south. Typical.

When I see something I shouldn’t, I call my bosses at Higgins Security to get help. I should have listened to them in the first place about going to New Orleans by myself. I can only hope they know someone who can help me.

Everett swooping in to save me is like a romance novel come to life. I trust him to get me out of the mess I’m in, but now my heart is on the line. After the dust settles and we’re safe, I wonder about what happens next because my trip is over, and Denver is my home.

EVERETT

I’m not expecting an SOS phone call from someone from my former military days, but I can’t ignore it because we’re brothers borne in blood. Whatever mess the receptionist of my friend’s security company has gotten mixed up in can’t be good. Tourists come in for Mardi Gras blissfully unaware, but the pulse of the city has been going haywire recently.

After meeting Alice, I know I’ll protect her with my life, but I hope I won’t have to. I can picture a life with her, a life better than the sound of jazz playing in the quarter. Once I get her out of the mess she’s gotten mixed up in, I have plans for my Alice.

I’ll show her New Orleans is more than plastic beads and dangerous alleyways. I’m going to figure out a way to stay in her life because she’s mine. Keeping her safe might end up being the easy part, but I’ll figure out a way to show her that by her side is the place for me.

FINLEY  

Grandmother’s Irish blessing might be part of my roots, but I lost my luck along the way. I’m not even sure when it happened, but I know nothing has worked to get it back. Nothing has worked in my life for a long time and I’m sick of it. 

I don’t know where the inspiration comes from, but something is telling me to go to Ireland in search of my history and the memories of my grandparents. If I find a little luck while I do it, all the better.  

I should have known my brother, Duncan, was going to get involved. I can’t say I’m mad at him for sending Doyle to keep an eye on me. I probably need it. Causing an international incident isn’t exactly on my agenda.  

I go to Ireland in search of my roots and something, anything, to change the tide of my life. I can’t help but wonder if I was looking for Doyle all along. I’m not sure if I’m lucky enough to keep him, but I hope I am.  

DOYLE 

When I get a call about an old friend’s sister traveling by herself on some quest of self-discovery, or whatever reason she has for visiting Ireland, I am hesitant to agree to keeping an eye on her. I might grumble about it, but even if I Duncan didn’t owe one, I’d do this for him. How hard could it be?  

I should have asked more questions. Finley is a disaster on two legs. I’m a little worried she’ll be the death of me, us, and maybe the whole rock we live on.  

The thing is, she’s also the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. And she’s mine. All mine.  

She’s looking for her history and some luck; I’ll help her find everything she thinks she wants. I’ll also give her everything she doesn’t realize she needs—a future with me filled with so much joy and love not even a little streak of unluckiness will touch it. I won’t let it.

RIVER

I’m halfway through my second tour and while I love the spotlight and singing for sold-out stadiums, the stalker I’ve picked up has put a damper on things. The fame that was smooth sailing has become dark, fueling my nightmares and making me feel unsafe.

I’m grateful White Picket Fences Records treats all the artists on the label like family. They prove how much they value my well-being when they send me two new bodyguards. For the first time since my stalker surfaced, I think he’ll be caught.

There’s only one problem. Kostya and Flynn do more than make me feel safe. They stoke a fire in me I’ve never known before. In many ways I belong to all my fans, but off stage two men own my heart.

FLYNN

When I get the word from my boss, Blake Higgins, that I’m being put on the protection detail for a pop princess, I have some concerns. My skills will be wasted following River around like a puppy.

Everything changes when I meet her. I’ll make sure to keep my woman safe. She deserves nothing less.

There’s only one problem. Kostya and I have to work together. Considering his past, I’m not sure I trust him. The more time I spend with them, the more I realize that if I want River then I’m going to have to learn how to share.

KOSTYA

I’m a man who learned long ago the importance of knowing everything about the business I’m involved in. I may have stepped away from my family legacy, but some of the lessons have served me well. The Bratva life, with me as the prince of the Orlov crime family to my brother’s king, wasn’t for me.

I’ve had my eye on River since the moment she signed with WPF Records. She’s not the first musician I’ve done security for, but I know she’s going to be the most important. When it’s clear Flynn is just as gone for my girl as I am, the thought of sharing her doesn’t make me want to kill him.

There’s only one problem. We aren’t the only ones interested in our songbird. We’ll protect her. We’ll find her stalker. We’ll make her ours. She might share her song with the world, but her body, her soul and her heart? They’re ours.

When it's Raining Love why stop at one man to warm your bed when you can have two?
This spring, join some of your favorite contemporary romance authors for a menage romance series that will have you curling up with your ereader hoping the rain never ends.

RYLAND

I planned to avoid Sycamore Mountain for a lot longer than ten years, but when my dad dies, I have to go back. Hammond Whiskey Distillery isn’t the only thing waiting for me in my hometown.

Magnolia’s the girl I always wanted and could never have because she’s my sister’s best friend and too young for me. Now, she’s all grown up and even more captivating than I remember. The fire in her eyes tells me I have a lot of work ahead of me to make her mine.

I hope I’m not too late and have enough time to settle in and get through the annual Earth Day Fair. Her devotion to my family’s distillery is humbling.  I should hand it over to her; maybe I will after her last name is Hammond. She thinks I’m not going to stay, but this time I’m not running. I’ll get her in my arms, in my life, permanently…after the rain.

MAGNOLIA

Pining for a man who I never thought would come home has left me bitter and sad, no matter how much I try and hold onto the sunshine. I don’t know why he’s stayed away so long, but I can only hope it’s not because of me.

I’ve given so many years to Hammond Whiskey Distillery trying to feel closer to Ryland, but time still passes and I’m still alone. No one was prepared for Mr. Hammond’s death, least of all me. It’s the only reason Ryland comes back to Sycamore Mountain, but who is to say he’ll stay?

Seeing him again reminds me that pieces of my heart are still jagged even though Harmony, my best friend and Ryland’s sister, tried to help me smooth them out over the years. Working together gives me hope I’m not sure I can trust. Maybe a little rain will wash away the past. When the clouds part, I don’t know what path I’ll be on, but Ryland will know he’s not the only one who has changed.

ELLA

I have big news for my guys. As much as I wanted to tell them the moment I found out, I decided waiting for our vacation to Temptation in Paradise Resort would make it extra special. I know they’ll be thrilled.

We need a little break from the city. Sandy beaches at a resort built for pleasure and fun sounds perfect. They won’t tell me which one of them came up with the idea, but it doesn’t matter.

By the end of the trip, we’ll have more memories between us and even more hope for our future.

COLT

Something is going on with our little lamb and I intend to use this vacation to find out what it is. I know she’s happy and we give her everything she needs, so I’m not worried too much. This vacation is exactly what we all need to leave the stress of our lives behind and get to the bottom of what she’s hiding.

BARRETT

She’s still ours and now I’ll get to see her in a bathing suit…if we ever give her a chance to wear one.

OWEN

Sometimes you have to take the show on the road and Ella deserves to be pampered beyond what the city can provide. Not only does she put up with the three of us, but she does it with a smile on her face and love in her heart.

I’m not worried about what she’s been hiding like Colt is, no matter how much he tries to deny it. Whatever she has up her sleeve will be worth the wait. Now it’s time to see her skin become sun kissed while we treat her like a queen. I can’t wait to sink our teeth into this vacation.

TENLEY

I got left behind and forgotten by my family a long time ago. I had to fend for myself in the debris of our broken home. When I got my first taste of freedom, I went a little wild. I don’t see any reason to apologize for it.

Now I find myself in a little bit of a predicament. I got kicked out of college. I have no idea what I’m doing and no real prospects. It’s the only reason I take the nanny job dropped into my lap by my brother.

I should have asked more questions because I’m not prepared to meet Wyatt for the first time. He might be twice my age, but he makes me feel something real when I’ve been running and pretending for so long. He tries to hide how he reacts to me, but I can see it. 

I’ve fallen for Wyatt and his little boy, but part of me is scared to trust. No one has wanted to keep me before, not even my family.  What can I really offer other than unrequited dreams and a rebellious spirit that rides me hard?

WYATT

I’ve never claimed to be anything more than I am. There are a few things in this life I’m good at and value. My art is one of them. Being a tattoo artist has given me the life I never thought I’d have.

I have my Vibrant Ink family and a business I’m proud of. It’s enough. At least, I thought it was, but maybe I’ve only been fooling myself.

The world I’ve built gets thrown out the window when the ten-year-old son I never knew I had is left on my doorstep. When I need help I know right where to go. My son needs some supervision and I need some help. I wasn’t expecting Tenley, a woman who is way too young for me with a wild streak which needs to be tamed.

I can’t seem to resist her no matter how hard I try. I’m twice Tenley’s age, but she’s mine. I’m exactly the man she needs in her life. I’ll prove it to her and give her the stability she’s craving.

ZOEY

I needed place to go after my old roommate flaked and left me homeless and a little desperate.  I had no idea I’d find the most insufferable man in all of Denver with a room available. He’s gruff. He’s loud when I wish he was quiet. He has no idea about personal space.

He’s also the best kisser I’ve ever locked lips with. I shouldn’t want him. He’s everything I’ve tried to stay away from.

I should move out, but I can’t bring myself to do it. I hate to admit it, but I’d miss his kisses and I’d miss him.

Maybe being his roommate isn’t so bad. But is that all we are?

JUNIPER

After my sister, Iris, moved out to start her life with her husband, Gavin, I was a little lonely, even though I tried to deny it. The house was too quiet. I didn’t have anyone to take care of anymore. I thought a roommate was a good solution and it would help with the bills.

I should have said no women in the ad because the moment Zoey walks through my door, I want to lock it behind her and never let her go. The problem is she doesn’t seem to like me very much. If only she knew it turns me on when she’s annoyed at me because it lights a fire in her eyes I can’t resist.

I’ll get her to fall for me. I think kissing her is the perfect way to do it.

She’s more than my roommate. She’s mine.

Unpack your bags and get ready to fall in love with these alpha men as they find their happily ever after.
 

This Summer some of your favorite authors have come together to bring you a new series all about falling in love with your roommate. As the temperatures rise outside, things are getting even steamier in the close quarters of their apartments.

REESE

My new neighbor does not like my dog. If you don’t like Boomer, then you don’t like me. End of story. 

I guess that’s not much of a deterrent for Anderson, though. He’s all bark and never misses an opportunity to complain. About everything. Sometimes it’s Boomer. Sometimes it’s my music. Sometimes it’s my alarm clock. How does he even hear it? Is it my fault I need something akin to an air raid siren so I can wake up in the morning?

It would be a lot easier if Anderson wasn’t the sexiest man I’ve ever met and didn’t make me feel things I never have before. It doesn’t matter because nothing can happen between us. Whoever becomes a dog dad to my Boomer needs to love him as much as I do.

That’s not Anderson. He’s a grump who only cares about himself. He would make the worst dog dad there ever was and he definitely doesn’t want me. Until he proves me wrong.

ANDERSON

Moving into a new place should have been a fresh start for me, but it’s turned into a nightmare. I can’t get any work done because the dog next door won’t stop barking. Books don’t write themselves and my publisher is starting to breathe down my neck.

Reese doesn’t seem to care at all that her dog is at fault for my writer’s block and my annoyance. I don’t think she even listens when I complain, and it doesn’t seem to change anything either. My ex was selfish and lacked all self-awareness and it’s why we aren’t together anymore. Now I’m living next to another woman who is exactly the same; just my luck.

If only I could ignore how much I want to pull Reese against me while letting all my aggravations fall to the floor. Reese’s beauty and the way her body calls to me like a siren’s song can’t be denied. I have to resist her because no good come from giving into the feelings I have for her.

She’s flippant and only cares about herself. Until I find out I’m wrong and just how important Boomer is to her. Now that I can see her for who she is, she better watch out. I’m coming for her, and I’ll make her mine.

ARIEL

I knew my ex was going to break my heart the moment I met him, but I did it anyway. Story of my life. I need to heed the signs when life gives them to me. I’m so mixed up I’m not sure if I can trust my instincts anymore.

When three best friends I know from playing online swoop into my life, I don’t know if I can trust what my body wants from them. There’s no way the three of them want me. My stupid heart is just itching to be hurt again, but I won’t let it.

We can have a little fun, but that’s all it will ever be. Until I become breathlessly devoted to the men I never saw coming, the things they do to my body and the desires they unlock inside of me. When things start to fall apart and my heart is on the line, will they let me go or will they show me who I truly am?

GABRIEL

We’ve bided our time, obsessed with our little gaming mermaid and everything about her. When she’s dumped by a guy who never deserved her, we see our chance to make her ours. I have a plan and it’s time to put it in motion. Ariel will find out she’s not the only one devoted to this; we’ll do anything to keep her.

CY

Ariel’s voice is like a siren song and for far too long it was the only thing we could claim as ours. I’ve been accused of being too intense. I hope I’m not the one who scares her off. The things we can show her will take her breath away. I can’t wait to show her my need for victory doesn’t stop at the game console. Capturing her is the ultimate win and I never lose.

KENT

Solid and steady is what our girl needs. Ariel needs to trust us to be everything she needs. She needs to know she can lean on me. I’ll be her rock as we share our girl between us. She’s the center we’ve always needed, and nothing is going to change it, not even her. When she runs scared, I know it’s her devotion to us which will bring her back.

PIPER

Going out to celebrate the championship hockey season of one of my best friends shouldn’t have put me in danger, but it did. I didn’t know dinner would lead to threats. Landon Sullivan, my boss at one of the top protection agencies in New York, is determined to keep me safe. 

Can I really accept his help? He’s gruff and barely tolerates me on the best of days. He doesn’t need to know how much I want him or how often I fantasize about him. Nothing will ever happen between us; he’s made it clear he doesn’t care about me as anything more than his employee.

Will I be able to keep my attraction under control when Landon insists on keeping me close to protect me? Will he let down his walls or will I be left heartbroken and still alone?

LANDON

Piper has been a temptation since the moment I met her. I hired her to keep an eye on her, but then I’ve held her at arm’s length. It’s not fair, but I know I have too much baggage and I won’t burden her with it. She deserves so much better than I can give her.

When she’s threatened, nothing will stop me from keeping her safe, even my own demons. I’ve known she’s mine since I met her and now it’s time to show her. I’ll use all my skills as a former SEAL along with the weight of the protection agency I’ve built to keep the threat away from her.

I’ll prove to Piper that she can trust me, not just with her safety but her heart as well. I’ll show her the way I care about her and then never let her go.

LANE

Considering I have no one to blame but myself for the PR storm I find myself in, I’m more than happy to hide out for the summer. WPF Records hooked me up when they sent me to the Mountain Ridge Resort. Some fresh air in a beautiful setting is just what I need. I’m going to keep my head down and hopefully get some inspiration while I’m here.

When I meet Calliope, I find my muse. She’s everything I didn’t know I needed. How her family talked her into the resort, I’ll never know. She’s a fish out of water, but the cutest one I’ve ever seen.

She might think this is just some summer fling with a guy with a bad reputation, but it’s so much more. I’ll prove to her I’m more than what the media says about me. I’ll prove to her she’s the muse I need, the one I’m keeping.

CALLIOPE

My family dragged me along to the Mountain Ridge Resort using guilt. How could I turn them down when they’re calling it the last real family trip we’ll have? You’d think they’d be happy to have all the kids out of the house in the fall when my youngest sister leaves for college. Instead of accepting the natural order of things, I find myself surrounded by nature and activities.

I’m not much of a joiner, at least not until I meet Lane. Suddenly I’m willing to join him on any adventure he can come up with. I didn’t think my summer would involve a fling with a rock star hiding out and avoiding a media circus, but it’s too good of an opportunity to pass up.

The more time we spend together, the more I fall for him. What happens when my trip is over? How about when he’s back to being a famous rock star and he forgets about me? He calls me his muse, but that doesn’t mean it’ll last forever.

AVA

I hired Joshua to do a job for the company I run. The contract is very specific about the scope of work and doesn’t include anything about him wanting me. Still, he gives me the opportunity to get something I’ve always wanted—a baby.

There isn’t anything in the contract about him making me fall in love with him either. Joshua seduces me with words as he whispers dirty things in my ear. There’s something primal in his eyes when he says he wants to breed me, but that doesn’t mean we’re forever. 

The more he says and the longer he looks at me like I belong to him, the harder it is to resist him. This is not the contract I signed, but maybe it’s the one I need.

JOSHUA

I’ve seen my sister, Aspen, and my best friend, Liam, in their happy lives and I’ve let them be, thinking it wasn’t for me. I was wrong. The moment I meet Ava, I know she’s the only woman I’m going to need for the rest of my life.

The contract signed between our companies is just about the IT work she needs done, but what is between us won’t be over when the job is done. I’m going to plant my baby in her and watch it grow. The thought of having a baby makes her eyes light up, but she doesn’t realize I’m part of the deal too.

I’m going to make Ava mine and then I’m never letting her go; her or our baby. We have a contract, and I won’t let her break it.

Are two Dirty Sinners better than one?

SUMMER

When I left Haven to go to college, I never thought I’d be back or be a single mom, but here I am. Being Clover’s mom has been one of the best things in my life, but also the hardest because of her epilepsy. The medicine I’ve been given her isn’t exactly legal in my state, but something as inconsequential as the law isn’t going to stop me from giving her what she needs. Now that Deputy Black has a crush on me, getting Clover’s medicine has become difficult.

The only people I know who can help are the Dirty Sinners, but they turn me down. At least, at first. After seeing what turning me away means for my little girl, Rock storms into my life and insists he’s going to take care of me…and Clover. That would be enough, but then his brother, Crank, gets involved.  How did I go from single and struggling to keep everything together to having two sexy as sin bikers wanting me? I’ll never know, but I’m willing to see where this wild road takes me because they have my loyalty, my life and my love.

SETH “ROCK” MEYERS

My life has been marked with loss; first my dad and then some of the men I served with. The Dirty Sinners have always been there, and the club comes first. Until it doesn’t. I can’t ignore the need of one single mom desperate for the medicine that helps her daughter. I can’t turn my back on her. I have the connections to make sure Clover gets her medicine and the desire to take care of Summer.

The only man I can trust to have my back as I go against Reaper’s wishes is my brother, Crank. I should have known he was going to fall for Summer’s sweet smile. She deserves the world and I’m going to figure out a way to give it to her and so much more, even if it means sharing her with my brother.

COHEN “CRANK” MEYERS

I’ve been riding through life, only caring about the Sinners and my mechanic shop, for so long that I didn’t know I wasn’t whole. Everything changes when my brother, Rock, needs my help and I realize exactly what I’ve been missing and who I need. Summer’s curvy body calls to me and the broken look in her eyes makes me want to rage against the world that has put it there. Rock only asked me to watch out for her, but it became so much more the second I saw her.

We’ve never been good at sharing, but we’ll figure it out for Summer. I’m not walking away from her, or her daughter and I know Rock won’t either. We’ve been loyal to the Sinners our whole lives and that will never change, but we have room in our lives for Summer and Clover as long as they can open their hearts to two bikers and all our rough edges.
