We all have a dream.
But I think I preferred holding mine at arm’s length...
It’s not that I don’t want to go to New York.
It’s that it’s all I’ve ever wanted.
So when a dream internship lands in my lap, the last thing I should be doing is hesitating.
Elliot thinks I should take it — he’s always believed in me.
Smirking, smouldering Elliot Montgomery.
Playboy-about-town.
Notorious womaniser.
And...dearest friend?
It was Elliot’s arms I’d innocently fallen asleep between on lonely nights.
And those same arms that promised all kinds of unspeakable things when I found myself writhing between them...
But even as he threw me out of my comfort zone, Elliot promised me something immeasurable.
So now I’m here, living my fashion design dreams in the trustiest outfit I own — indecision. But the longer I stay in New York, the further I feel myself drift from everything I thought I wanted.
And somehow, absence is making the heat grow stronger...
If Elliot Montgomery is no Prince Charming, why does he feel like happily ever after?

âOh my gosh. Sorry Iâm late.â I looked over my shoulder to find a red-faced and wild-haired Roxy come blowing into my office. In a blur, she dumped her backpack and coat on a corner chair, and set up her laptop on a flimsy little table Iâd pulled out of storage. âDonât worry about it, darlinâ.â I hoped my voice wasnât tight. It wasnât that it was a problem for her to arrive late. Sheâd texted me that her last class went over time. What I was preoccupied with, but desperate to keep to myself, was the building tension around will she or wonât she? Yeah. I couldnât lie. Her self-imposed âtrial periodâ was killing me, and I was so enjoying having her aroundâfor a variety of reasonsâI found myself really hoping sheâd stay. Of course, it was completely her choice, and Iâd support whatever direction she wanted to go in. But I knew what I wanted. I knew what the guys wanted. Shit, weâd discussed it late into the night when she was asleep. It was cool we were all attracted to her. It made sense. We were good friends, and valued similar things. I never thought I might be sharing a woman with these guys, but after Iâd gotten used to the idea, Iâd realized it was hot as fuck. Catching her breath, she turned to me from her makeshift work area. âShould I continue on the presentation for next weekâs class? Or do you need me to do something else?â Something else⦠Get a grip asshole. âThe presentation would be great. Thank you,â I said, turning back to my own computer before I lost the battle to keep my thoughts clean and my hands to myself. There she was, a regular college girl. But she was so much more than that. I loved her drive, and her ability, most of the time, to keep her chin up in the face of all that was raining down around her. She was going to be fine. I knew she would. Things would turn a corner for her, one way or the other. Despite my best intentions, I peeked at her anyway, watching her peck away at her keyboard, because I was such a goddamn smitten pussy. Her blonde hair nearly covered her pretty face, and her foot tapped with her overload of energy. She stopped what she was doing for a moment, and drew a finger to mouth, where she chewed on a nail. Then, in a new burst of energy, she got back to the keyboard, working like an artist struck by inspiration. I had to say I was impressed. It was hard to get excited about making a presentation for a finance class. But Roxy was finding a way. It was that âlightâ that followed her, which attracted me like a moth to a flame. I knew the other guys felt the same.
I was so fucked. We were so fucked.

EXCERPT
Sweat drops roll down my back as I tread into the shadowy forest, the looming pine trees blocking most of the sunlight. Adrenaline courses through my veins, causing shivers down my spine with every step I take. Every little sound is another trigger, a tiny mole crawling down into its hole, pine needles rolling across the mossy ground, birdsâ wings flapping high above my head.
I pause to look around and listen, my hand on my phone in case I need to let someone know where I am. My head instinctively turns to look back at my car still parked on the side of the road, but the farther I go into the woods, the less it becomes visible, and something about that makes my heart turn icy cold. Iâm in the middle of nowhere, and no one knows Iâm here.
No one but me.
And him.
I swallow away the nerves as I approach the cabin while firmly clutching my gun. The gun I stole from my fatherâs arsenal when the guards werenât looking. They wonât miss one tiny little gun, but it might help me save myself.
Because lord knows what Iâll find.
That man I once knew is gone forever.
At least, thatâs what I keep telling myself. I stalk farther and farther into the forest until the road is no longer visible, and all I have left is the pine trees and critters to accompany me.
In the distance, a cabin becomes visible.
I suck in a ragged breath.
Even though itâs not nighttime yet, the darkness surrounding me hums with a kind of electrical current that scatters goose bumps across my skin.
CRACK!
I freeze from the sound of a twig snapping in half.
My heart goes a million miles an hour.
Oh, God. What if itâs him? Am I ready?
I point my gun in the direction of the sound. Straight ahead, near the cabin.
TRSSKK! CRACK!
More noisy rustling ⦠until an axe slowly appears from behind a tree, glinting in the dark.
I gasp in shock, barely able to keep the squeal inside as an almost ungodly muscular but beastly looking man steps out from behind the tree wearing nothing but a short towel around his waist. His long beard and hair are wet and stick to his muscular, tattooed body. His square face is smeared with dirt and blood, and his hooded brown eyes are locked on mine.
Liam.
I canât even process itâs him because of the state heâs in.
But the second he raises his axe, I regain my senses and aim for his head.
âDonât come close, or Iâll shoot!â I yell.
He doesnât say a word, doesnât even stop, and my hands begin to shake.
Iâve shot a gun before, but never at an actual human being, and the thought is already making me nauseous. But if I must ⦠what other choice do I have? Heâs dangerous. He tried to kill my sister, heâll never stop, and I have to protect her.
Câmon, Jasmine, you can do this.
I click off the safety and yell, âI mean it!â
He stops and looks me dead in the eyes like a killer would when heâs found his target, and something about that makes my entire body start to tremble.
His lips part, his tongue slowly licking his canines as a lopsided smile appears on his face. âDonât ⦠move.â
His voice is gravelly. Darker than I remember, even from that night he came for her. And the mere sound reminds me of just how far he went to get what he wanted.

Secrets had a way of destroying everything.
Trusting the wrong guy has huge consequences. Tessa Collins learned that the hard way and now there’s a black mark next to her name. She’s spent a fair amount of energy trying to outrun that stain, but it will always be there. The best she can do is throw herself into her dance career at The Nalu Resort in Hawaii. Pristine beaches, endless sunshine, and her wonderful best friend have done wonders to heal her soul. As long as she stays away from men, she’ll survive.
But ignoring men is hard. Especially ones that look like resort guest Detective Donovan Henley. When he plays the white-knight role to rescue her from an aggressive vacationer, she’s more than a little intrigued by his protect-and-serve attitude. Getting involved with a sexy Vermont cop who could easily find out all her secrets, however, is asking for disaster. So what if Donovan makes her feel things she’s never felt with anyone else? Tessa isn’t going to let another man disturb her rhythm.
Is one kind dance enough to keep two hearts in step?
One Kind Dance is a vacation-fling, small-town, contemporary romance that features a detective hero who protects the ones he loves and a dancing heroine with a checkered past.

Tessa had no complaints about watching Donovan in the water. He was a good swimmer and when he took a break to stand, water cascaded down his muscled chest, making Tessa want to lick him dry. She’d caught him gazing at her a few times too, so she knew the feelings were mutual. She wasn’t the only aroused one in the vicinity.
Donovan swam over to her. “Pruning yet?”
“Yup.” She held up her hand to reveal wrinkles on her fingertips. “You?”
“Yeah, and it’s probably time for a sunscreen reapply.”
At that, her eyebrow arched. “Are you volunteering to help me with the hard to reach spots?”
“Of course.” He swept her into his arms and walked toward the shore. “Did swimming help?”
“Totally. My whole body feels relaxed.” Except for all the parts that were currently pressed against his big, hard body. Those parts were like tuning forks, vibrating with need.
“Good.” He arrived at their section of the beach and lowered her to a chair. Digging into his tote bag, he extracted sunscreen. “Is this okay with you?”
“It’s the same SPF 1000 I usually use.”
“Guaranteed to keep you pale under the brightest of suns.” He held out the sunscreen. “Let me know when you need help.”
“I need help,” she said right away, not taking the bottle from him.
A slow grin slid across his face. “Okay then.” He flicked the cap up and squirted some sunscreen into his palm then sat in front of her. Starting at her left foot, he worked his way up her left leg to her thigh, massaging sunscreen into her skin and heating her core with each caress of his rough palms. He gave the same attention to her right leg.
He covered her arms in a similar fashion and motioned for her to sit on the cooler so he could get her back and shoulders. Keeping the moans from sounding wasn’t easy. His slick fingers worked her muscles and made her insides buzz with arousal.
Donovan kissed the back of her neck then gently tugged on the rim of her ear with his teeth. “I’d better let you get your chest and face before things get out of hand on this blanket,” he whispered. His arm came around to the front of her, the sunscreen bottle in his hand.
“Yeah.” She had to clear her throat because she was so far gone over having his hands on her. “Let’s save getting out of hand for later.”
“I can’t wait for later.”
