SummerBlog Excerpt

 

Taking a deep breath, Beckett knocked on the door.

No answer.

He turned the knob, and the door opened.

“Go away,” came a strained voice.

Beckett poked his head through the opening. Kat sat in a ball in the corner, her legs pulled up to her chest, her arms hugging herself tight.

“Aw, Jesus, Beckett. Really?” Her face was splotchy and her eyes watery, though he didn’t see any tears.

Ten-to-one she was going through some adrenaline letdown right now, too. Which no doubt made it all worse. That shit could fuck you up even when you were used to how it left you feeling drained and shaky, by how all the stress you’d suppressed during the height of the crisis boomeranged twice over after the fact.

He came into the room, closed the door, and turned the lock for good measure. And then he crossed to Kat, scooped his arms under her knees and behind her back and lifted her up against him.

She smacked his chest. “Put me down.”

“No.” He moved to the edge of the bed.

“I don’t need this right now, Beckett. Put me down.”

“Yes, you do,” he said, sitting on the edge of the mattress. He pulled her face in against his throat and smoothed her hair back from her cheek. She trembled against him, just the littlest bit, her skin hot to the touch. He pressed a kiss to her forehead and hugged her tighter. “You did good, kid.”

Every one of her muscles went tight. Her hand fisted in his shirt. And her breath caught as she buried her face against his neck and shoulder.

Then Kat burst out crying.

And it was like being torn apart and put back together, all at once. He hated her pain, but he adored that she wasn’t hiding herself from him, and that she was letting him be there for her.

He didn’t shush her, or try to talk her down, or encourage her to dry her eyes. To be sure, her tears were like daggers in his heart—they hurt like fucking hell. But the only way she was going to feel better was to let this shit out. Ironic realization for him—he did actually see that. But just because you could see what was good for others didn’t mean you had the first goddamned idea how to apply those principles in your own life. And that was a problem for another time anyway.

What mattered right now was Kat. What mattered … was Kat.

Watch the Hard Ink Series Trailer:


 
SummerBlog Blurb

Beckett Murda hates to dwell on the past. But his investigation into the ambush that killed half his Special Forces team and ended his Army career gives him little choice. Just when his team learns how powerful their enemies are, hard-ass Beckett encounters his biggest complication yet—a seductive, feisty Katherine Rixey.

A tough, stubborn prosecutor, Kat visits her brothers’ Hard Ink Tattoo shop following a bad break-up—and finds herself staring down the barrel of a stranger’s gun. Beckett is hard-bodied and sexy as hell, but he’s also the most infuriating man ever. Worse, Kat’s brothers are at war with the criminals her office is investigating. When Kat joins the fight, she lands straight in Beckett’s sights . . . and in his arms. Not to mention their enemies’ crosshairs.

Now Beckett and Kat must set aside their differences to work together, because the only thing sweeter than justice is finding love and never letting go.

My Review of Love Beyond Sight by Rebecca Royce – The Outsiders Book 4


Love Beyond Sight Cover

The Fourth Book in the Outsiders Series  Fireborn Publishing, LLC. (May 29, 2015)

SummerBlog Blurb

Eden’s visions kept her isolated, even from the other Outsiders. But in her head, she can hear Samuel–he loves her, supports her–he is her destined soul mate, her other half who will help her in their battle against evil. But, there is a catch; Samuel says they can never see each other. Can there be love without sight?

SummerBlog My Review

In each of the books we meet more of the outsiders.  As the story progresses the evil Sebastian gets more desperate to eliminate the outsiders who have not yet found their soul mates. The outsiders continue the quest to find the rest of the couples and locate the last of the books. Books containing the information they will need to complete their task of destroying the demon.

 

This installment is primarily about Eden and her soul mate Samuel.  She needs to overcome her insecurities and the inability to control the effects of her visions. Samuel on the other hand needs to come to terms with his appearance and be himself outside and in.

 

Eden leaves the island after discovering she would be left on the island alone, considered a liability to the others, as they go to New Orleans to find another book. In the process she puts herself in the line of fire for Sebastian. He needs to destroy her since her gift of prophesy is not one he wants the Outsiders to have access to. What Sebastian doesn’t know is that he didn’t kill her soul mate.

 

We meet up with Christopher again, as he flashes in and out of different places although not one where he would meet Leonardo. He also wants to find a way to get together with Ruby but is really screwing it up. Ruby is having power issues, it seems she can want something and have it appear in volume. An interesting dilemma for her.

 

A new addition is Zane a safe designer and cracker. Quite the combination but since he is a thief for hire it fits. His mistake is attempting to rob an old lady who has some surprises for him.

 

There is much going on and the plot thickens. Samuel’s ability to take on the form of another is a valuable asset to the group as they take on this next step in the quest. Unfortunately this ability that he depends on to hide his appearance is a liability to the soul mate binding.

 

Lots of surprises and nail-biting.  I can’t wait for the next installment.

Spotlight On The Awakened Fate Series by Skye Malone – A Young Adult Paranormal Romance


Title: Return

AuthorSkye Malone 

Series: Awakened Fate (Book Three)

Genre: Young Adult Paranormal Romance

Publisher: Wildflower Isle

Publication Date: October 6, 2014

Cover Designer: Karri Klawiter

For Chloe, the ocean was supposed to mean safety and for a time, it almost did. She overcame the Sylphaen’s drugs. She discovered an unforeseen attraction to Zeke, one that he shares for her. A life underwater seemed possible, until she learned that nothing was as it appeared.

After an unspeakable betrayal shattered everything she thought she knew about Zeke’s world, she and Zeke have fled the ocean for the one place Chloe never expected to want to go.

Home.

But the challenge of living as a mermaid over a thousand miles from the ocean isn’t the only problem facing her. Home has changed. Enemies are waiting, ones she never saw coming. Her little Kansas town is full of surprises.

Including Noah, the guy she left behind.

 
“…do it in Jeri’s old room.”
Earl’s words filtered through the cotton stuffing in my head, barely making sense.
“Yeah, well, seemed fitting.” He paused. “Listen, Richard, I called you as a courtesy, on account of how you said one got away from you yesterday. But it took me an hour after the girl collapsed to get the boy to finally conk out, and with that damn scum-sucker metabolism of theirs, you know I can’t promise either of ‘em will be down for long. You and your boys want any part of this, you better hurry up and get here.”
Alarm struggled through me, weighed down by an exhaustion that wanted to smother my mind back into sleep. Scum-sucker? He…
“Hang on,” Earl said as though interrupting someone. “One of them ain’t breathing the same as they were.”
My heart began to pound harder while I fought to open my eyes. Breathing? He sounded so far away. How could he hear anyone breathing?
Footsteps clunked on the hardwood floor. Light pierced the blackness around me as I managed to lift my eyelids. I was on the bed, facing the doorway. In the window seat, Zeke was slumped, his head resting on the wall. The room was dark around us, though the hall light was on.
Earl came to the door. In one hand, he held a phone to his ear, and at the sight of me, he made an angry noise.
“What’d I tell you? The girl’s awake.”
He dropped the phone onto the window seat as he strode toward me, and all my dull commands to my muscles couldn’t make my body move. Striding past me, he retrieved something from the dresser and then returned with a sports bottle in his hand.
I tried to pull away, but he just reached down and grabbed my head from behind, lifting it toward him. With his teeth, he popped open the top of the bottle and then shoved it into my mouth.
Bitter-tasting liquid flooded my throat. I choked, the drink spewing from my lips, but he just dropped the bottle and clamped an enormous hand over the lower half of my face.
“Swallow,” he ordered.
I stared up at him. His grip tightened on my hair, tugging at my scalp.
“Now.”

~An Awakened Fate Novella which follows Return, Book Three of the Awakened Fate Series~

The guards took up positions beside me when I left the room and headed for the main hall.
“Princess.”
I tried not to swear, knowing anyone who overheard would only use it as gossip about my current mental state.
But a slew of choice words presented themselves.
This wasn’t fair, I told the universe silently. Not even a little bit.
I glanced back to see Egan swimming down the hall toward me. With his silver scales, dark eyes, and hair so light it seemed like snow even though he was only a year older than me, he looked like a sculptor’s dream, and just as incredible as ever.
It only made me hate him a little bit more. Killing that damn flutter in my stomach would’ve been so much easier if he was ugly.

When An Alpha Purrs

By Eve Langlais

A Lion’s Pride, #1

Paranormal/Shapeshifter/Werelion Romance

June 4th 2015

SummerBlog Blurb

A lion’s pride isn’t defined only by those he commands but also resides with his hair, so when a human dares to butcher Arik’s mane, he gets his revenge—and claims her as his mate.

A billionaire CEO and leader of the largest East Coast pride, Arik is a ladies man and a lion. Used to commanding others, and obedience, he can’t believe it when a hairdresser with tempting curves chops off a hunk of his precious mane.

But her biggest mistake is in running from him.

Run as fast as you can, little mouse, because this cat loves to chase—and pounce.

Oh, and he also likes to nibble on tender bits. What he doesn’t expect is to fall for a human woman, a woman who can make the impossible happen because everyone knows lions can’t purr…until now.

SummerBlog My Review

I love my shifters and this one is a hoot!

Arik is an egotistical, hot-headed, Alpha Lion, and his nemesis a feisty, sarcastic hairdresser named Kira.

Many of the alpha shifters I have read are arrogant to a point but Arik takes it to a whole new level. One of the funniest passages for me, not so much for Kira is in the first chapter.

Rejection was not something he encountered. Until now.

“Are you seriously having to ask why I won’t date you?” She sounded so incredulous. “Would you like me to recite the list alphabetically?”

Actually, he did. “Let’s hear it.”

Not even a pause. “Asshat. Braggart. Cocky tied with chauvinist. Dumbass. Egotistical. Do I really need to go on?”

A chuckle rumbled forth from him—again. What was it about this woman that delighted him? She kept arguing and defying him at every turn, and yet he couldn’t help but find her amusing. She utterly intrigued him, especially as he tried to guess what she’d say next. How refreshing to come across a female that wasn’t related to him, or impressed by him, who dared to treat him as a man.

One she considered beneath her standards.

“I think your list needs tweaking.” He launched a defense of his character.

“Oh really? And just how do you see yourself? I’m sure this will be good.”

“Let me see. Attractive, bold, courageous, daring, elegant, ferocious, especially as a lover,” he admitted with a wink. “Gallant.”

With a derisive snort, she interrupted. “Ha. I highly doubt that.”

“And yet you don’t really know me. My lady friends would tell you that I am a gentleman.” When it came to opening doors and picking up the check. Other than that, there was nothing gentle about him. Just ask those who crossed him.

Kings didn’t let anyone question their authority.

“I wouldn’t know, though, about this supposed gallantry, because I’m not your lady friend.”

“You could be.” He gave her another chance. She truly did draw him in with the roundness of her figure, hugged by faded denim and topped with a baggy sweatshirt that drooped enticingly off a shoulder, baring a black strap.

Lace or cotton? A feline mind wanted to know.

But apparently he wouldn’t know today, as she, yet again, managed to resist him.

“Date you? Not likely.”

Again words emerged from him without volition. “Why not?”

“Oh please. I’ve seen enough to know you’re not my type.”

Such a liar. Apparently he wasn’t the only one aroused by their repartee. The musky scent of her arousal tickled his senses. It made him bolder. “I guarantee when I’m between your thighs and you’re clawing my back, you’ll be screaming a different tune.”

So he might have come on a tad strong with that last statement. That was still no excuse for what happened next.

“Pig.” However it wasn’t the animal insult that was her most grievous crime. It was the gigantic hunk of hair she snipped off!

An irreplaceable, thick chunk of his hair permanently removed. Accidental or intentional, it didn’t matter.

Ack! My mane.My beautiful, precious mane.

He couldn’t help a low rumbling growl. His eyes glinted in the mirror, the gold catching the light and reflecting it, along with his fury.

“You. Did. Not. Just. Do. That.” And yes, he might have growled the last bit.

“Oops? Did I do that? Sorry.” Said with no repentance at all. With a smirk and a blown kiss, she let her crime rain down over him in a golden, threaded shower.

And then, she ran.

The chase was on! Kira is a strong woman, except when it comes to the reason she is working in her grandfather’s barbershop.  A secret she has no intention of sharing until it is sprawled all over her front door.

Arik while trying to deny the fact, she is his mate, gets a reluctant Kira to tell.  It is what she doesn’t know that could make or break the chance of happiness, hers and his.

Lively, fast paced read.  I loved the interactions with his pride especially his mother.  A couple of missed edits but overall a most enjoyable read!

SummerBlog About the Author

Eve

~ New York Times and USA Today Bestseller~
 Hello, my name is Eve and I am a Canadian author who loves to write hot romance, usually with shifters, cyborgs or aliens lol.
Be warned, I do have a twisted imagination and a sarcastic sense of humor something I like to let loose in my writing. I like strong alpha males, naked chests and shifters. Lots of shifters. In fact, you’ll notice most of my multi partner stories revolve around great, big, overprotective shifters who just want to please their woman. I am also extremely partial to aliens, you know the kind who like to abduct humans and then drive them insane…with pleasure of course.
I love to write, and while I don’t always know what my mind is going to come up with next, I can promise it will be fun, probably humorous and most of all romantic, because I love a happily ever after.
Thanks so much for coming by and checking me out.  If you’d like to know more, read some excerpts or find out what’s coming next, then please visit me at my webpage Or sign up for my new release email list.

Excerpt

“Told you he was interested,” Jenny said, sliding up beside her. 

“He wanted to talk to me about Casey.” 

“Then what are you doing over here? My God, he’s melting my eyeballs and he wants to be your hero? I’d kill you if I didn’t love you. Go.” Jenny gave her a not so gentle nudge in his direction and followed behind. “Hello, hotness. Paige here has to eat before she goes to her next job. Sit,” she told Paige. “And order something or I’ll do it for you.” 

Paige sat down across from him and glanced at her watch. She only had about twenty minutes. 

“Brussel sprouts it is.” Jenny pretended to write on her pad. 

“Okay. Grilled cheese. To go. I’ll eat it in the car.” 

“She’s single by the way. Just in case you want to store that info away for another day.” 

“I’m sorry. Jenny is…” 

“Not married,” Jenny offered with a wink, walking away. 

“Impulsive,” Paige muttered as the nerves settled in her stomach at being left alone with him.
“I’m Jake.”
His voice was deep and smooth with just that one word as he held out his hand and she slid her palm against his. It was hot, strong, and slightly rough and her heart came up into her throat. A simple handshake but…when a man who could melt your eyeballs took your hand, stared into your eyes with his own deep brown ones, it felt like…a lot more than a handshake.

High school senior Casey Donovan is in trouble. Again. If only she had trusted in Nate’s loyalty when he traveled to Spain with his college basketball team – despite the accompaniment of the cheerleading squad and Fiona the Floozy who’d made it super clear she wanted Nate for herself. Then she wouldn’t have made that impulsive trip to Hollywood and let Aiden do that stupid thing that threatened her relationship with Nate, and triggered a trip into the past. Only something is wildly wrong. She’s not in the 1860s like she should be. It’s 1929. And she didn’t come alone.

Release Blitz with Giveaway and My Review – Em Petrovas’ Ropin’ Hearts


  Ropin’ Hearts
 Boot Knockers Ranch #4
By
 Em Petrova
Publisher: Samhain Publishing
  Release Date: June 9, 2015

 

SummerBlog Blurb

It’ll take more than ropes and whips for this cowboy to keep his bratty woman in line.

At twenty-three, Bree Roberts is ready to sow some wild oats. The perfect place to start? The neighboring spread—The Boot Knockers Ranch, where twenty smokin’ hot cowboys deliver sexual therapy to women. The problem? The entry fee is more than she’s made in a lifetime.

Only wanting to explore, she figures her tanned, toned legs will be her ticket to ride. Except Ty keeps kicking her off their land. Then she begins to suspect the reason why. He likes her.

If Ty spots that little vixen wrapped around one of his cowboys one more time, he’s going to throw her over his knee. Trouble is, she’d like it. Catching her participating in the ranch’s notorious, semi-clad Cornhole tournament is one thing, but when he finds her under their resident Dom’s whip, enough is enough.

Ty won’t throw a naked woman out of his bed, namely one who deserves a spanking, but showing Bree the rewards of sex mixed with a little emotion leads to trails neither of them intended to tread.

Warning: Contains a spitfire cowgirl who excels at breaking the rules, and a cowboy who lays down the law—and a firm hand on her ass cheek.

SummerBlog My Review

This book was a gift from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Holy Moly! This book was so hot the words practically flamed off the pages.  I am extremely surprised that my kindle didn’t melt.

The story of the Cowboys of the Boot Knockers ranch continues with a feisty neighbor who’s curiosity may just kill the cowboy. Bree is a spoiled brat wanting to rope a boot knocker and Ty is the boot knocker aiming to tame her.

Bree’s antics and Ty’s responses while sizzling, funny and at times frustrating as hell were well suited to their personalities.  I am not putting a favorite passage as I can’t find one doesn’t have at least a smidgen of red hot in it.

My advice is to grab a couple gallons of ice water, turn the air conditioner on high and dive head first into this book!

I’m almost afraid to see what Em comes up with for the next one, as this series has gotten progressively hotter. This one will be hard to top.

Coming Tomorrow! The final episode of the Shifting Magic Trilogy – Moon Mated by Lia Davis


Moon Mated Cover

Shifting Magick Trilogy Book 3

A Shifter and Witch Paranormal Short

Publisher: After Glows (June 9, 2015)

SummerBlog Blurb

Diana Kelly is the baby of three witches and, like her sisters, cursed. She must find her one true mate before midnight on her thirty-third birthday or risk becoming undesirable to everyone outside of her family. With her sisters happily mated and curse-free, Diana holds on to hope for a miracle. However, the clock is ticking, and she’s running out of time, and options.

Terrence Miles is a lone wolf, loyal only to his Alpha. When he meets the youngest Kelly sister, he’s mesmerized by her beauty and soft curves. His wolf pushes him to claim her, but the man is hesitant. He’s never imagined himself mated. Could their mating break her curse and satisfy something in him he didn’t know was missing?

SummerBlog My Review

This book was a gift from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Diana’s curse is the most complicated of the three sister’s. Her problem, her mate wants nothing to do with it. Tomorrow is her birthday and she is resigned to the fact that she would not be breaking her curse. She would grow old and crazy like her grandmother.

Granny’s been at it again and Diana heads over to her sister Olivia’s, first stopping to see if Terrence wanted to come with her.  One of my favorite exchanges is between Olivia and Diana after her arrival.

Diana’s sister entered the room, brows dipped in concern. “What’s wrong?”
“Grams. She did it again. Why can’t she just leave things alone?”

Huh? Confused, Terrence watched Olivia wrap an arm around Diana and lead her to the sofa. “Calm down and explain what you mean.”

With a deep, shaky breath, Diana closed her eyes briefly before speaking. “Grams said she helped me. I tried to get her to explain how and the spell she used, but you know how confused she gets. Anyway, that’s why I really wanted to come over. I stopped off at Terrence’s to see…” Diana met his gaze briefly before giving her attention back to her sister. “Well, to see if he was a cat or something.”

Terrence laughed. “I can ensure you that your grandmother hasn’t been here.”

Diana shook her head. “She doesn’t need physical contact.”

Olivia sighed. “Why are you so upset?”

“Because I was approached by four males on the way here who all want to court me.”

“Oh,” Olivia said and stood. She held out her arms, and a large, leather-bound book appeared in her hands. “Sounds like an attraction spell. Or it could be another love spell. We never know with Grams.”

Terrence stiffened. While he understood why the crazy old woman would cast a spell, he didn’t like the sound of a love spell. Especially if it worked on everyone but him. Unless he was
already in love…

This family has a lot of fun dynamics and witches have no chance over the wolves.  Unless of course it is a witch denying her destiny.  I am really not sure who was trying to convince who here. This was yet another light-hearted, fun, and very sexy read.  Perfect for the beach or just to relax and enjoy!

O_o A 99c Sale Blitz – Giveaway and My Review for Pushin’ Buttons – By Em Petrova – The Boot Knockers Ranch Series #1


In Preparation for the Release of Ropin’ Hearts the latest in The Boot Knocker Ranch Series on June 9th

 Pushin’ Buttons
 Boot Knockers Ranch #1
by Em Petrova
Publisher: Samhain Publishing
  Release Date: June 10, 2014
  SummerBlog Blurb

It’s all in her head. Until she falls into the hands – and hearts – of two cowboys.

Sexual dysfunction. The words make Sybill cringe, but after one too many failed relationships, she has to face reality. Her O-button is broken, big time. Sick of sitting on the sexual sidelines, she books a week at Boot Knockers Ranch. If a passel of rugged cowboys vying to bring her bliss can’t get her off, nothing will.

Hugh had planned to sit out this week’s rotation of sexual therapy, but when he spots sultry Sybill, he pulls rank. His bone-deep urge to possess her isn’t enough to coax elusive orgasms out of her body, though. And his resolve to give the lady whatever she needs wavers when she shyly makes a mind-blowing request.

Riggs stepped aside when Hugh muscled in to claim Sybill, but he jumps at the chance to fulfill her ultimate fantasy—a threesome. But once they come together, all barriers are stripped away, exposing his love for the one man—and woman—he’d break every last rule to make his own.

Warning: This ain’t your daddy’s ranch. Contains cowboys administering sexual therapy to frustrated ladies—and each other. Fresh batteries recommended. You’re gonna need ’em!

SummerBlog My Review

I saw this on sale and I had to buy it. You know I have one-clickitis so that was no big surprise. I have read other books by this author and with a new one coming out soon, what better time to start the series from the beginning. I do that so rarely.

So I dive in, not knowing quite what to expect other than it was going to be hotter than hot, based on the warning in the blurb. Well folks, I was swept away into the story from the first page. I love the mantra, that they kind of compete for the women and push voting buttons, to light up their chairs. You get an immediate sense of fun and competition that lightens the mood away from the problems.

The Master of the Games, Hugh felt a connection with Sybill even before she went on stage. So in spite of being off for the week, he puts himself in the game. His goal to win this “sexy secretary” away from whoever had been chosen for her. As questions were asked of her, Hugh presses his button for her. So does his friend Riggs and the man she was supposed to be with, Damien. Both other men end up stepping down but Riggs did so with an attitude. He really wanted Sybill.

Having won her, he thought her problem of not being able to orgasm would be easy to solve. This was not going to be the case.
I’ve been hard pressed to find a non sexual favorite passage but here is one of my favorites. It occurs while Sybill is sobering up from a couple glasses of wine and runs into Riggs.

“I read your file. Says you’re a molecular biologist.”
She gave an enthusiastic nod that made her pale hair slither over her shoulders. He distracted himself by taking another sip of his coffee, barely able to keep from wincing at the flavor.
“What exactly do you do?” he asked.
“I fiddle with information mostly. Create testing for pharmaceutical companies about the effects of drugs on humans and also animals.”
“So you gather the information about the human bodies other people play God with.”
“Yes, just as you want to do with the horses.”
They smiled at each other, the link between them undeniable. He finally dropped his gaze to the coal-black coffee he held. “You know, my mother was ill for a long time. First lupus then lots of kidney and heart problems from the disease.”
Sibyll leaned over the arm of the chair and rested a hand on his biceps. “I’m sorry to hear that.”
He scuffed his knuckles over his jaw. “I appreciate it. Anyway, sometimes the side effects of the drugs were much worse than the symptoms. And sometimes she took drugs to counteract the problems created by other drugs.”
Sibyll pursed her lips in a sympathetic expression. “It happens.”
After drawing another sip into his mouth, he could barely swallow it.
“Why are you trying to drink that coffee if it’s that bad?” Amusement danced in her eyes.
“You know, you’re right.” He set the cup down and leaned against the chair back, crossing his ankle over his knee. Several minutes passed between them in silence, but it was far from uncomfortable. The glazed look she’d worn from the wine dissipated, replaced by the calm face of an angel.
“Everyone has a struggle in life, it seems,” she said softly.
Riggs studied her. More than once he’d had a woman spill her history of heartbreak or abuse. It sometimes purged and the woman was able to move on. He had to tread carefully, but he had to know. “What’s yours?”
Sibyll shot him a long look. “Hugh thinks I can’t ask for the things I want.”
Electricity shot straight to Riggs’s fingertips. He clenched them. “And what do you want?” The sparks between their gazes were a phenomenon all their own. He’d only experienced such a thing with Hugh.
Setting aside her empty mug, she turned completely lucid eyes on Riggs. “I want that threesome. With you.”

I swear, with each turn of the page, the heat went up several notches. I now understand why there is a warning with the blurb. The dynamic between Hugh and Riggs when coupled with helping Sybill reach her goal, made even breathing difficult.

I did some giggling at the antics and drank lots of cold drinks. A personal fan and cold showers were definitely required for this read. Of course you could also go with your BOB.

Ex-stripper Emerson doesn’t have the time to fall for her boss Dylan. Between working three jobs and attending college, Emerson’s schedule doesn’t have room for a boyfriend. Especially not Dylan, who’s the poster boy for misbehaving bachelors—the kind of guy who belongs in Emerson’s old life.
