Bully. That’s what I am to her.It’s not a name I ever expected to be called, but after what she did to me that one awful summer, I’ll wear it with pride. It’s the least I can do after she put my older brother behind bars.Prairie Westmin– her face is burned into my mind. And now I have to stare at it every day of our senior year. I want to make her miserable. I know she’s my enemy.So why am I … enemy.So why am I defending her from others on campus?I tell myself it’s because she’s MINE. I’m…

Years ago she promised me her hand in marriage. Now I’m here to collect. When I close my eyes, there’s only one face I see. Nicola– the girl I was forbidden from having. She’s the daughter of my best friend. When she was nearly 18, she confessed she had a crush on me. I knew better than to pretend I wanted her, so I ignored her heartfelt confession. With tears in her eyes, she promised she’d … save herself for me. Only me. Afraid of wrecking my friendship with her father, I left town. But after years of a brooding…

I’ve always had a crush on my neighbor.I also knew better than to do anything about it. I was a shy teen, and he was a muscled, intimidating hunk of deliciousness. Then I went off to live my life, never telling him how I felt.Years later my mother asks me to move back home to help her out. I don’t expect to see me hot neighbor still living next door to her. The sight of him washing his car, … washing his car, shirtless, send me stumbling into some trash cans.Then he smiles at me… and I’m doomed.But my mother…

I dared him to marry me.I didn’t expect him to say yes.Growing up, I was known as the rich kid. If I wanted something, I got it. Then my father lost his fortune and I was suddenly struggling to feed myself.But I’ve got a plan. I’m sure I can get ahead if I gamble my last dollars as the casino.I didn’t expect to run into HIM there.Daniel Argent… rich, powerful, stupidly sexy… and my former … stupidly sexy… and my former neighbor.Oh, and I might have bullied him a bit when we were kids.Whoops.Then he challenges me to a game…

It started as a game…For years, my dad has controlled my every move. Working for him in his hospital has made it worse. After a big fight, I’m furious, and I want to do something… anything… to feel like I have control over my own life.Flirting with my dad’s friend? Bad idea.I did it anyway.One thing leads to another. What began as a game of revenge has turned into something too real to walk … something too real to walk away from.Getting caught with him will ruin our careers.. our reputations.He doesn’t care. He just wants me.And when my parents…

I’m obsessed with my dad’s best friend…He’s got a hot British accent and he’s haunted my dreams for years.I know better than to act on my desire, so I’ve gone the extra mile– literally– and moved out of my home town to stay away from the guy. I love my dad too much to hurt him.But when a dating app connects us after years apart, my feelings come rushing back. He’s hotter than ever, a total … than ever, a total silver-fox. And when he meets me at my apartment, sparks fly. Clothes, too.Is this a hook up, or does…

The first ring I ever wore was the one he slipped over my finger.My hand shook the whole time. It would be romantic… if it wasn’t a big lie.You see, even if I think Xander is the sexiest man alive—so handsome that I didn’t hesitate to jump into bed with him before I knew his full name—he only wants one thing from me: a pretend engagement.If I act like I’m his fiancé, he’ll get what he wants … get what he wants from his strict family.What’s in it for me?Enough money to clear out every cent of my debt.I should…

For a good time call…That’s what the number on the wall said.Why did I dial it? I blame two things– the cheap raspberry cocktails at the hotel bar…And the fact I’d signed my divorce papers an hour ago.When he answered the phone, his voice was like silky caramel. If his tongue could make such nice sounds, I knew he could make my toes curl.Then he showed up at my hotel room.All muscle.All … hotel room.All muscle.All filth.And I knew I was done for.But every good time has a price.It’s too bad I didn’t know the cost of this one.This book…

I never wanted romance. Never cared about passion.And I never meant to admit that in an interview in front of the world. It’s not like I’m famous! I was just asked to give a talk about the environment, then the next thing I know, I’m spilling personal secrets. All I want is to go back to my quiet, shy-girl life of books and sweatpants.But HE won’t let me.Hot, muscled, eyes bluer than the sea… … bluer than the sea… and a total stranger. He tells me he’s going to show me what passion is. That once I experience it, I’ll…

I’ve got a secret.I’ve been working as a CamGirl. I was anxious when I started, who wouldn’t be? All those strange men… watching me…Except that didn’t happen. From the beginning, I’ve been on display for one man, and one man only. I don’t know his name or his face. I should think of him as nothing but a wallet.But the longer we spend together, the more I want to know about him.The closer I … about him.The closer I want to get.No one should fall in love with a stranger…What happens when I find out we know each other?Get ready…
