BY HALEY TRAVIS
With one simple favor, I fell for the sexiest woman in the world – my best friend's daughter.
Lena is gorgeous. Sweet, sensual, fascinating.

He'll take one look at my size and back off. If he shows his face, I'll end him.

She's already mine.
I'll do anything to save her from her fears.
But who will save Lena from my obsession?

MIDNIGHT SNACK
BY CHLOE MAINE
He was my first crush. But he was my dad's best friend, so he pushed me away...
Now I've done what he told me to do. I went and lived my life. I still know what I want (and it's him, no question), so I'm showing up on his doorstep late at night, knowing he won't turn me away. I may only have one night to convince him that we both need to test the wild chemistry between us. So I'm going to make myself the most irresistible, secret midnight snack he's ever been offered. And I'll have to hope that once he has a taste, he won't be able to let me go again.

PROTECTING ALLIE
BY AUDREY BELL
She's the daughter of my ex-military buddy, scared, and in need of protection. When a stalker threatens to take her life, I could lose my sweet girl before I ever get the chance to make her mine.
***
Duke
When my best friend, Mickey, gets remarried and leaves to enjoy his honeymoon, he made me swear to look after his daughter, Allie. I didn’t tell him that I can’t take my eyes off her even if I tried. She’s a fully grown woman now at 25 years old but she's still thirteen years younger than me. And Mickey would bury me alive if he knew I was thinking about his daughter that way. So I keep my distance, even though it kills me to do it.
Then Allie calls me in the middle of the night, terrified. Someone is stalking her, invading her private life with threatening messages.
I will do everything in my power to keep her safe, relying on my military background to protect her. What I’m not prepared for is the way danger and adrenaline ramp up the sexual tension between us, making it impossible to deny my feelings for her.
Allie
My dad’s best friend, Duke, is like an uncle to me, buff, broody, and protective. I didn’t want to tell Dad about the stalker in the middle of his wedding plans, but I’m so grateful to have Duke watching my back.
After a close call with my stalker leaves me shaken, I find myself taking refuge in Duke’s arms. I’m not blind to the way he looks at me though. It’s more than mild fondness. He’s obsessed with me in a way he’s trying so hard to hide.
One hot, wild night is all it takes for our self-control to dissolve, tumbling between the sheets together. When I finally have Duke in my bed, I know it’s more than a temporary fling in the heat of the moment. I’m in love with my dad’s best friend forever.
What am I going to tell my dad? And now that Duke is in my life as more than just an impromptu bodyguard, will that paint a target on his back for my stalker, too?

Charlotte
I’m not just kissing the rival… I’m falling for him.
Spencer Pennington has always been a shameless flirt, but when it came to being the best in our MBA program, all bets were off, and the competition was on.
Fast-forward a few years, and all it takes is a bar at a failed wedding and my silly kiss-rating system to lock lips with the enemy. Cocky as ever, Spencer claims he’s a ten and kisses me to prove it. I kiss him back to scratch an old itch, not expecting to like it.
Which is a huge problem, because Mr. Tall, Dark, and Tattooed from grad school is my new boss. And I want to kiss him again and again. Even if I only gave him a four.
Spencer
Charlotte Krause could be the perfect girl, if she didn’t hate me so much. I’m unsure if it was just me or guys in general, but she had this stuck-up, all-work-no-play vibe about her in college.
Imagine my surprise when I find her at the resort bar rating kisses like it’s her job. This carefree woman is nothing like the focused girl who turned me down at freshman orientation. And every time after that.
When I promise her I’m a ten, I see that competitive spark light in her ocean-blue eyes. There she is. She might have kissed me to prove me wrong, but I know I’m right about one thing.
She feels the spark too. There’s just one problem. It turns out her actual job is working for me.

Paramedic by day, dirty smut writer by night. I write dark, contemporary erotic romance. I'm an avid reader of anything dark and if I'm not writing, you can usually find me making a large dent in my TBR.
I'm a lover of strong heroines who find their own hot, sexy, alpha males who might be a tad bit over possessive. I love to lose myself in my character's flaws and vulnerabilities as well as their strengths and the darkness that surrounds them.
There is no shame found here, and I often get lost when writing out those erotic, steamy scenes that make womenâs (and menâs) fantasies come true.
I currently reside in the beautiful state of Washington with her two dogs and my dream of quitting my day job and traveling the world while writing.
