All Bark, No Bite (Love at First Bark Series)

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.

When it comes to love, everybody has hard limits. Lines that can't be crossed. Boxes that must be ticked. For the heroes and heroines in this series, there's just one limit, line, and box: "Love me, love my dog." (or dogs!)

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.

LILY

My father was not a good man, but his murder still weighs heavily on my heart. He never let me in on the family’s business dealings, which I was thankful for. Until now. With no family left, I’m the last Scavo at the top of an empire I’ve never been interested in running.

I don’t have a clue where to start and there’s only one man I can think of who might be able to help me. When I see Constantino Agosti again it’s to ask for his help, but at what cost? Everything has a price and money is not the only currency.

Bartering with myself and my future isn’t something I was prepared to do, but what other choice do I have? His whispered words and sweet caresses make me look past the man with blood on his hands. Once he owns my heart, I’ll have nothing left to give. I can only hope everything doesn’t crumble around me.

CONSTANTINO

Her father should have never brought her to the meeting. The moment I saw her, he sealed their fates. Lily Scavo belongs in my life and in my bed. When she’s left alone in this cold, cruel world, she’ll come to me for help. Then I’ll own her.

Being a patient man who looks at all the angles makes me invaluable to my family and it’s a skill which serves me well with my plan to make Lily mine. I resign myself to watching her, obsessing over every detail of her life, until the perfect opportunity presents itself.

When I’m there to help her through the loss of her father, everything falls into place. She’s been a princess her whole life, but now it’s time to make her my queen. I can never let her know the depth of my depravity or my obsession. There are too many lies between us, but, even if she finds out, I’m never letting 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.

BIRCH

I shouldn’t have left my Clem behind. I knew it was the wrong choice the moment I made it and let her push me away and into the life she thought I wanted. I should have fought for her. I should have grabbed her and taken her with me.

I can’t live with the regret anymore. It’s made my life a living hell with no end in sight. I could ignore it at first, when I was working to achieve my dreams. Then the roar of success drowned out my misery for a while. When it was time to head back into the studio after my first album hit it big, I had nothing to give, nothing to say.

If WPF Records hadn’t signed me, who knows what would have happened to my career. Still, I need to produce an album. Soon. The only thing I know to do is to go back home to Sweetwater Valley and get my girl back. Maybe I’ll get my rhythm back, maybe not, but I’d rather have her than the fame or even the music. Clementine has been mine for as long as I can remember, and I can’t go another day without her.

CLEMENTINE

Sometimes letting go is the hardest part. I had to let him go, knowing he would take my heart with him. I know I made the right decision when Birch, finally, got his big break. I found other ways to pass the time and other passions to help me ignore the hole in my soul.

I’ve found my footing while still living in the small town which was never going to be big enough for Birch’s dreams or talent. I’m content and I’m thriving as best I can considering my soul belongs to a man who lives in the limelight far away. Still, my heart hasn’t healed and I’m not whole.

When he comes back with all the right words and sorrow in his eyes, my heart wants to believe him, and my soul yearns for him. I can’t help but wonder what will happen if he gets back the inspiration he’s lost. Will he leave me all over again? I won’t be strong enough to pick up the pieces and let him go a second time.

DAISY

I’ve grown up a sheltered princess and the crown I wear is covered in blood. While my brothers were being groomed to take over and expand our family’s empire, illegal as it may be, I was privileged, protected and pampered. It was never what I wanted, but no one ever asked me.

The one thing I want I can never have. Lorenzo Vitale. He looks at me like he would walk away from it all sometimes, but now he sits at the right hand of the throne. I know it can never be now.

One thing you learn growing up as an Agosti is that taking is the only way. I want a new future, so I’m going to take it. I have one shot at freedom. What I never anticipated was for Lorenzo to show up at the auction. When he buys me will he still take the payment expected—my virginity? Will he want more? I have a feeling I’ll be heartbroken in the end.

LORENZO

The only person I’m loyal to above Elio Agosti is his sister, Daisy. It pains me to watch her from afar and never touch her or tell her how much I have always loved her. When we were growing up, it was a sweet kind of love.

As she blossomed into a woman, I realized it was so much more. Daisy has always been mine. If only being with her was an option. I protect her from a distance instead of holding her close. No matter how much it pains me.

Finding out Daisy is selling her virginity changes everything. There is no way I’m allowing another man to touch what belongs to me. If I must buy her to ensure it, then so be it. She’s mine and I’m going to pluck her. I’m going to keep her. Nothing can stop me.

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.

This September, 18 of your favorite authors take you to the mountains of Haven, Tennessee. This small town is known for its wild times, alpha men and the Dirty Sinners MC—a group of rowdy hellraising bikers who don’t have a problem getting their hands dirty in order to do good. Crime, passion and the forbidden temptation of love will push them all to the line.

Will they ride through life craving soulmates as their penance for the crimes they’ve committed?  Or can a Dirty Sinner be saved? 

COOPER

When there’s a lot to celebrate, my teammates make sure it’s done in style. The season has just begun, but this year is special, I can feel it. We have a new quarterback at the helm of the Denver Mustangs, and he has connections which have nothing to do with his NFL fame.  That’s why we’re at the hottest club in Denver celebrating the first home game of the season, even if we can’t get wild.

I didn’t expect to be captivated by a gorgeous, curvy woman while out at Aces, but now that I’ve seen her, I know she’s mine. Georgia can run from me all she wants, but it just makes me want to chase her. I can see she doesn’t trust me, but I’m going to change her mind.

This year is going to be best one yet, on the field and off. I’m going to get the girl, the team is going to have a winning season, and everything will be right in the world. I just need to convince my girl that she’s made for me without a penalty flag being thrown. Easy, right?

GEORGIA

When Iris, one of my salon clients and friends, invited me out to Aces, I almost said no. But who can refuse a free night out on the town? I guess it helps to know the owners. Maybe a night out is exactly what I need to shake things up in my life.

I didn’t know I’d be part of the Denver Mustangs celebrating their first home game with a new quarterback and the championship shining like stars in their eyes. Being surrounded by large, hunky men is a bonus. I’ve learned I can look but touching and getting involved doesn’t work out for me.

There’s a flag on the play, though, when Cooper Graves sets his sights on me. He might play defensive back on the field, but, when it comes to me, he’s all about playing offense. He can’t really want me and all my curves, right? When he doesn’t give up, can I give into him and everything he’s promising me?

HADLEY

I’ve been hustling for my business, Paws Up, and now that we’re growing, I need to do some more research to make sure my treats and food are the best they can be. When I get an in to visit a dog training facility, I jump at the chance. I’m looking forward to everything I’ll have the opportunity to learn and getting out of Denver for a little while. 

When I arrive, I’m met with more than a dog training facility and kennel. It’s a ranch where former military can battle their demons and feel productive. Brock and Luke are willing to answer all my questions and help me not only perfect my recipes, but they prove to me there might be more to life than the business I’ve been focusing on. 

LUKE

To save my family from the man I became, I went in search for a place where I could escape my past and, maybe, find a future. Finding a mentor and brother in Brock was enough for me, but then Hadley arrives with her sweet smiles and curious eyes. I know the place she belongs is in our arms, but will she stay? Or will she become just another person I lose along the way?

BROCK

When I was struggling most, I found a slice of hope and peace at a little ranch where I could use my knowledge and skills to train protection dogs and help other former military members find a new path. I’ve been here the longest other than the owner and I don’t see myself leaving anytime soon. Luke is new, his demons are still fresh, and we find a brotherhood together. When Hadley arrives, she’s full of light and everything we both need. Can we convince her the only place she belongs is between us or will we have to double dog dare her to stay?

EZRA

I’ve always put everything I have into hockey and Stella. We’ve been friends for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always felt the need to keep her close and safe. I don’t know when it changed into something more or why, but I hid it and denied it because I’ve been afraid of losing what we have.

Winning the championship last year should have made me feel fulfilled, but something is missing, and I know what it is. I want Stella by my side and in my arms as more than a friend. How can I be a beast on the ice and a coward when it comes to my girl?

When I see a player from another team hitting on Stella, all bets are off. The puck stops here. It’s a good thing I’m used to stopping the other team from scoring on the ice because I’m going to need those skills. He might be a good guy, but Stella is mine. It’s time to show her just how much she means to me.

STELLA

I think it’s time to move on, everyone else around me is finding love and working toward their future. Then there’s me who is holding onto hope for something I don’t think will ever happen. It’s time to put down the crush I’ve had on my best friend, the one guy who has always been in my corner.

I’ll always be Ezra’s biggest fan and the president of his fan club. I’ll always be his friend, but I can’t wait for him to wake up and look at me like I’m his whole world. I can ignore how much I’m attracted to him and the things which make it feel like we’re in our own little world and meant to be together. Right?

Just when I’m ready to put myself out there, why does he come out of nowhere and ruin it? Is it a game to him or is it something more? Am I even willing to find out?

JACE

In the years since everything changed in Screaming Woods, including myself, the only place I’ve found solace is in the woods I protect as a park ranger. I’m not sure how to deal with my new…attributes as a wolfman. What if I go feral? What if I can’t control the monster I was made into? 

Every year this goes on, I retreat farther from humanity and closer to the animal I’ve become. I don’t get close to anyone, which is for the best. I’m destined to be alone now; at least that’s what I assumed. Until I meet Dakota.

Dakota moves to town to open a gourmet pet treat business, but I know there is more to the story. I didn’t know I had a future beyond being a monster. Fate has given me something else—her, my mate.  Now I’ll do anything to keep her safe and make her mine, even accept the monster I’ve become.

DAKOTA

When looking for a place to open a brick-and-mortar store for the business I run with my best friend, I wanted to take the opportunity to move far away. My ex is obsessed with me and not in a dark romance kind of way, more in a creepy, scary, restraining order kind of way. Something was calling me to Screaming Woods, so I took a chance.

Opening Paws Up is going well. The town is welcoming and a little odd. Just the way I like things. I’ll be able to build a new, safe life here. I’ll be able to stay out of trouble and focus on the business.

Then Jace growls his way into my life. He’s a wolfman who loves nature and takes offense to my business, though I can’t understand why. It’s not like I’d suggest he try my treats…unless he wanted to. I have a lot to learn about Screaming Woods and the monster whose fate is entwined with mine. Hopefully my past won’t come back to haunt me and try and take it all away from me. Even if it does, I’m knot running from fate.

LINDEN

When I literally crashed and burned, soaked in the gasoline of bad decisions and alcohol, it was time to take a hard look at my life and make some changes. The night I lost the man that I thought I was going to love forever changed everything. It set me on a new path.

I cling to my sobriety because without it I’d float into the void of loss and nothingness I was headed toward one way or another. If it hadn’t been him, would it have been me? I’ll never know, but I keep moving forward.

When Luca, whose heartbeat feels so familiar under my palms, comes into my life, it’s another crash and another change in trajectory. Can we fix the pieces of ourselves which have always been broken? What secrets does he hide behind his charming smiles? Why does it feel like he knows me? Why does it feel like I already love him?

LUCA

I grew up in the shadow of my family and my brothers. They protected me and sheltered me. I don’t blame them considering how sickly I was growing up. Everyone was always so careful around me. 

Weak. Breakable. What no one ever saw was that I was already broken and hiding. Because of the man I couldn’t be with the rest of the Agosti men looming over me and my body a betrayal from my first breath.

I got a new lease on life when I finally got the heart transplant I needed, but there’s a yearning inside of me. I’m compelled to find out about the man who had my heart and when I see Linden, I know why. She’s mine. She becomes my obsession, an addiction I was never able to have before. I’ll stand between her and anything which wants to harm her, including the ashes of loss she’s risen from. Will the secrets between us and how our paths connect tear us apart or bring us together?

**18+. This story has dark themes and a morally gray hero. You’ll still find an insta-love story that is spicy and isn’t necessarily simple, but with darker themes, situations, rough spicy times and depictions of violence (not between the MMC and MFC).  No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. This book is part of my Agosti Crime Family series but can be read as a standalone. Meet the Agosti family in Flames and Flowers.**

MELINDA

Getting away from my boutique and seeing some old friends was exactly what I needed. I’ve been all about working and making my shop a success for so long, I forgot that it’s okay to let loose a little and have some fun. My weekend was full of fun, laughter, and witchy things which can’t possibly come true, but I wasn’t going to wreck anyone’s fun and say it out loud.

So, why when I get back to my shop do I have a new delivery man who seems to match everything I want in a man? It’s just a coincidence and couldn’t possibly have to do with the spell we all participated in. Right?

Even if I did conjure him up, there’s no guarantee Boone is going to stick around. Except he touches me like he will, and he looks at me like I’m better than a full moon on Halloween. Maybe I can trust him and give him my heart, especially since he doesn’t seem willing to get me go. Who knew a girl’s weekend could lead the man who is my future to me?

BOONE

I liked my old delivery route, it was comfortable. I knew the people and what to expect, but the moment I walk into a little boutique with a lot of frills and bright colors to see Melinda, I know why fate has stepped in. Seeing her is like seeing color for the first time.

She’s smart, beautiful, driven and kind. If I had to pick a perfect woman, it would be her. I’m determined to show her how good we can be together even though she’s skittish.

I thought Christmas was the time or gifts, but I got the best one of my life for Halloween in Melinda. I don’t need a potion or a spell to get the girl of my dreams, she’s right here in front of me and I’ll earn her trust and her heart.

This Halloween, join our heroines as they manifest the men of their dreams using a little magick, a whole lot of tequila, and a wedge of lime.

JETT 

When I joined up, I thought I was going to be a lifer, but it was harder than I thought it would be. Then five years ago I got a letter and found inspiration to keep going and be the man I set out to be. It was a friendship at first with Charlotte. The respect and admiration she has for service members made me feel proud to wear the uniform in a new way.

In the last five years, things between us have changed. At some point she became my everything and, as more letters arrived, my dreams and goals changed. I can’t dedicate my life to the military when my heart is in Denver.

I’ve been pining for Charlotte for years with what felt like a million miles between us, but I’m going to close the distance because I can’t be apart from her anymore. She might not know it yet, but she’s mine. It’s time for me to claim her. 

CHARLOTTE

I thought I was just going to reach out to a service member and give them a slice of home in my letters. That is how it started with Jett, but then it became more. So much more. I never expected to fall in love with a man through words on paper.

With every scrawled word I gave him more of my heart. Now it’s all his, but I’m afraid his dreams mean he won’t ever truly be mine. He joined with the intention of devoting his life to serving. I won’t ask him to give that up, even if it means I’m alone.

When I haven’t heard from him for a while, I’m not sure what to think. Then he shows up. He’s brought himself and my heart home. I have a chance to show him that I’ve always been his. It started with a letter, but now it’s forever.

EDISON

I’m being watched and followed. I don’t know who it is and only in the deepest, darkest part of my mind will I admit that I like it. I know I shouldn’t, but I crave for whoever is lurking in the shadows to come into the light. When they do, I’m not prepared, but I’m too curious to not find out where this can lead. Three men want me, but there’s more there than meets the eye.

I’m not sure they’re the right men for me, but under their praise and the way they push my boundaries, I find myself. The freedom they give me within the walls of Club Sin satisfies a part of me I never knew I had. Maybe there’s more here than a little fun. Can this really be what I’ve been looking for all my life?

KILLIAN

The moment I meet Edison, I know she is special and getting to put my mark on her skin only makes my obsession grow. Since tattooing her, I haven’t been able to get her out of my mind. I give into the darkness and become her stalker, but I quickly figure out that I’m not the only one. Meeting Jude magnifies the need for our woman, and we find comfort in each other, right or wrong.

There’s only one other person I know who can balance us out and help us get the woman whose soul is calling to me like a siren’s song. My brother, Coyle, falls too, just like I knew he would. Now it’s just a matter of showing her how special she is and helping her to embrace her darkest desires.

JUDE

Taking a job as janitor at the university library is a big step down for me, but it had to be done. It was the only way I could think of to keep an eye on the woman of my dreams. Seeing Edison from afar was kismet and I wasn’t going to let it pass me by. I’ve been able to watch over her, but I find I’m not the only one enthralled.

No surprise there. What does surprise me is the connection I have to Killian and how we work out the consuming need for our woman. Coyle getting added to the mix feels right, he provides a balance we need. When all the secrets, obsessions, and desires come out, will Edison be able to accept us? All of us?

COYLE

I’ve been pulled into a mess I wasn’t prepared for, but, surprisingly, I don’t want to get out. Not after finding my way to Edison, no matter how wild or wrong the road was. I can understand my brother’s obsession, I feel it thrumming through my veins with breathtaking intensity.

I can see her needs, her desires, her cravings. I’m going to give them all to her. She’s ours. We’ll cover her in praise and show her that we might not be perfect, but we’re hers.

STONE

When you have nowhere else to go, following a man who has become your best friend and brother in far more than blood seems like a good idea. Even if that man has hearts in his eyes for a woman who he only knows through letters. I’m happy for him, he deserves some sunshine in his life.

Even if Jett gets lost in love, going with him in the hopes of finding where I’m supposed to set down roots is better than going back to my hometown where I’d find the ruins of the life I had before I joined up. There’s nothing left for me there except pity and there’s nothing left for me in the service. I’m stuck and there’s no light at the end of the tunnel.

Meeting Genesis makes me believe in light again. She’s wounded where people can’t see; just like me. She’s afraid to let me in and I can’t say I’m not scared out of my mind myself. I think we might be able to heal each other, at least enough for our wounds to become scars that honor our past as we find our future.

GENESIS

I told myself a long time ago that I’d never let a man inside my heart. The only men I’ve been able to trust are in the family I was adopted into all because my sister fell in love. They think because I was the youngest growing up that I didn’t understand how wrong it all was. I might have tried to be blind to it, but I saw.

It left wounds. They might be healing, but they still pull and itch. It’s hard to ignore them, but I put those worries behind a brave face and a bright smile. It’s the only way I know how to survive. It’s the only way I know how to convince everyone I’m okay.

When my best friend is surprised by the military pen pal she’s been writing letters to for five years, I get a surprise of my own in the form of Stone. He’s just as scarred as me and I’m drawn to him. I want to shelter him as he wraps me in hope, but I’ve been let down before by those who should have cared about me the most. Will we be too broken to find a beginning worth more than our past and our scars?

NOELLE

There are a few things I’m a sucker for—charity and being able to put my organizational skills to the test. This year I’m going to be able to check both off my list by donating my services a charity auction. I’m happy to do it and help kick off Denver’s newest charity event.

It used to be that my rigid personality was a hindrance. I never made friends easily and when I did, it didn’t last long. No one wants to stick around when they think you don’t know how to have fun. It’s not my fault my kind of fun involves color coding and putting things in their proper place. Thankfully, I turned my personality into a career.

When the man who hits on me before I even get a glass of champagne at the charity auction is the same one who ends up winning the bid, I don’t think he has organization on the mind. Callum is clearly not the type to keep anything in order. It’s scary, but would it be so bad if I loosened up a little? Maybe he’s just the guy to show me how.

CALLUM

Christmas is the time for joy, lights, and all things warm and fuzzy. It’s always been my favorite season and this year is no different. People smile more and there are so many decorations; what’s not to like?

When I meet Noelle at a charity event that friends of mine are hosting, I know she’s the present I’m supposed to unwrap every holiday season for the rest of my life. Settling down wasn’t something I ever considered, but that was before. I know she’s going to make me fight for it and prove myself, but I’ve never been one to run from a challenge. Hopefully the magic of the season is on my side.

She’s all buttoned up and looks at life in black and white. I’m going to show her there’s a whole lot of fun to have when things don’t line up perfectly and you take chances. The first step in winning her heart is winning the auction to get some of her time. Then, I’ll make her mine. Merry Christmas to me.
