He’s too fast, too sexy and way too dangerous.
He’s the perfect guy to not fall in love with…right? Vintner Blair Sandoval is officially off the market. Thanks to her cheating ex-boyfriend, she’s completely fine with the entire male species spontaneously combusting. That is, until former race car driver Cole Taggart strolls into her family’s winery looking good enough to thoroughly savor… Cole is perfect on the palate, with hints of danger and charm, and an undertone of delicious sexual tension. And all it takes is a teasing game of Truth or Dare before Blair and Cole both cross a line they never intended to cross. Blair can see the caution flag clear as day. Cole’s reputation with women is the stuff of tabloid headlines. But Blair isn’t the only one who’s been hurt by going too fast. After the death of his brother, Cole’s been living in a loop of guilt and grief. At first, it was just attraction. Then it was incredible, make-your-knees-weak sex. And if they’re not careful, they’re headed straight for a collision course with the one emotion they both swore never to feel again… |

“It’s just us. No rules, no expectations, no exes. Nothing but the two of us, the ocean and this boat…”
After finding her fiancé cheating, Molly Madix is heading to the calm, sparkling blue sea of the Caribbean. She needs a break from real life. And there’s nothing remotely “real” about the exquisitely luxe yacht owned by her gorgeous golden-haired sun god and billionaire friend (and ex) Oliver Kent. And oh yes, the recurring guest star of her late-night naughty fantasies… And temptation is definitely aboard this ship. How could Molly refuse those full, sexy lips, or how those strong, skilled hands caress and torment her body? One orgasm. Two. Three. And even more… Molly knows from bitter experience that Oliver can never be more than fun. Even as they sun, swim and indulge in every deliciously forbidden encounter, Molly knows Oliver isn’t free to love her. His family has an iron grip on his life—and Molly will never be welcomed into his world of rules, wealth and harshly wielded power. But when the heat is this fiercely hot, it’s only a matter of time before someone gets burned… |

Hotel magnate Will Walker has one color scheme—dark and brooding. But designer Laura Edwards is determined to show him the joys of the season…in and out of the bedroom!
Will Walker hates Christmas. Who wouldn’t after growing up in a string of loveless foster homes? Especially when fellow foster kid Laura—the only person he ever cared for—disappeared without a word. Discovering the stunningly grown-up Laura Edwards creating a winter wonderland in the lobby of his Manhattan hotel is a gift he never asked for. Private jets and business deals are more Will’s thing than gingerbread cookies and whimsical ornaments, but Laura’s lush curves are tempting him to fulfill his every sinful teenage fantasy. So when a snowstorm leaves the successful designer stranded for the holidays, he’s quick to offer his penthouse suite. Laura is determined to show Will how magical Christmas can be—even if it means never leaving the bedroom. And watching her quiver under his touch more than makes up for the years they spent apart. The passion between them burns bright enough to light up Times Square, and Laura’s adding a sparkly red bow to his black-and-white life. But can he trust her to stay? |

“We both know that night was hot as hell…”
But can she handle the heat…knowing that it can’t last? Chicago-based food critic Parker Jones is in serious trouble. She’s reviewing one of Las Vegas’s hottest barbeque joints—and the hottest thing in the place is the restaurant’s mouthwatering sex-on-a-stick owner. Her only choice? To hide why she’s really there. Not exactly her finest moment. But NFL-quarterback-turned-restaurateur Hugh Matteson might prove too delicious to resist… Only, Parker certainly didn’t anticipate the explosive sexual chemistry between them. It’s intense. Sizzling. And satisfying the way that food can never be. So naturally, Parker does what any rational, commitment-phobic grown woman does. She bails. Parker should have known better. Hugh’s entire professional career has been about not giving up—even after his last serious relationship imploded publicly. And he’s definitely not about to let Parker disappear if he has anything to say about it. Because this thing between them is hotter than a Carolina Reaper. His quick grin, that lightning bolt of lust whenever he touches her—oh, Parker could fall for this guy, and hard. But when you’re cooking with a fire this hot, it’s only a matter of time before someone gets burned… |

It’s why casino mogul Alexa Lawson always keeps the lines between her and bestie Carter Hayes oh-so-firmly drawn. No matter that her once nerdy, shy neighbor is now a drop-dead gorgeous tech genius.

They’ve denied each other for so long. Now they’re going where they swore they never would. It’s addictive. It’s deliciously dirty. But when a wild night leads to accidental “I dos,” Alexa will learn that what happens in Vegas won’t just cost them their friendship…it might cost them their hearts, too. |
