Chapter 2 - Ashley

"This isn't going to work."

"Huh?" I ask.

"Ashley, this isn't going to work.  Have you thought about how we're going to do this?  We're leaving for summer break.  Right now.  You're going back to your parents and I'm going back to mine.  How are we going to do this?"

"Jake, I don't know what you're talking about."

And, I don't.  I really don't, especially considering we just had sex.  Literally.  We're in Jake's dorm room while his roommate is out, and one thing led to another, and, well...

"Friends with benefits, stepbrother with benefits, what's the difference?"

"Um, we're not even friends, Ethan?"

Rule #1 – It's only supposed to last for a week...

Ethan is a cocky, arrogant jerk. He's always been that way. I'll never understand why girls trip over themselves just to be with him. Don't they realize he's going to ditch them in a week?

Yes, he can be nice when he feels like it. It's true that he's ridiculously attractive, too. It's not like I want to stare at him when he walks around shirtless, but it's hard not to notice someone with a body made of rock-hard sculpted muscle and sin. He's got that panty-melting bad boy smile that makes you want to...

Did I mention he's my stepbrother? Ick.

What? You think I'm falling for him? Nope! It's impossible.

There's only one problem... I might have accidentally, um... it was just one night, alright? One really good night. Panties? Yup, they're melted.

It was a mistake, it doesn't mean anything.

Sorry, there's two problems. Did I mention our parents are away and we're stuck home alone together for a week?

I'm the responsible one. The good girl with perfect grades. And I'm trapped for a week with a bad boy who showed me what it's like to give in to my wild side.

What's the worst that can happen?

About the Book

He wasn't looking for love.

Two years after the death of his wife, Sergeant Blake Kline is still hurting. He isn't ready to date, but whenever he stops by his local diner and sees the friendly smile of his favorite waitress, he feels a spark of true happiness again. And when her life is unexpectedly threatened, Blake discovers his feelings for her might not be as platonic as he thought.

She was holding out for the hero of her dreams.

Bookworm Hannah York has always been a hopeless romantic - preferring book boyfriends to blind dates - and she's been daydreaming about Blake since the moment he came into her diner. She's convinced they'll never be more than friends until Blake kisses her, and "weak in the knees" becomes more than just a line from her favorite romance novel. The closer Blake and Hannah get, however, the harder he fights to keep her at a distance.

But forever has a way of sneaking up on you.

When their blossoming relationship takes a complicated turn, Blake will have to face his past or risk losing Hannah forever.

HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO by Codi Gary

Fans of Rachel Gibson, Olivia Miles, and Jessica Lemmon will fall in love with this first book in a brand new contemporary romance series from Alison Bliss about three curvaceous heroines finding love with humor and heart.

--------

The rules of (fake) engagement . . .
Leah Martin has spent her life trying to avoid temptation. But she's sick of low-fat snacks, counting calories, and her hyper-critical mom. Fortunately, her popular new bakery keeps her good and distracted. But there aren't enough éclairs in the world to distract Leah from the hotness that is Sam Cooper  -or the fact that he just told her mother that they're engaged . . . which is a big, fat lie.

Sam sometime speaks before he thinks. So what started out as defending Leah's date-ability to her judgmental mother soon turned into having a fiancee!  Now the plan is to keep up the fake engagement, stay "just friends," and make Leah's family loathe him enough to just call the whole thing off . But Sam has an insatiable sweet tooth, not only for Leah's decadent desserts but her decadent curves. Her full lips. Her bright green eyes. Yep, things aren't going quite according to plan. Now Sam has to convince Leah that he's for real . . . before their little lie turns into one big, sweet disaster.

SIZE MATTERS by Alison Bliss, Read by Violet Strong- Audiobook Excerpt

In the New York Times bestselling tradition of Linda Lael Miller and Diana Palmer, comes the second book in R.C. Ryan's new series about the Malloy brothers, Montana ranchers who find love while uncovering the dark secrets of their past.

--------

Wild.  Defiant.  That's Luke Malloy in a nutshell.  Though some wranglers complain about the solitary lifestyle of a rancher, it's the very thing that feeds Luke's soul.  Out one morning tending the herd, he's admiring the wild mustangs when a gunshot rings out.  His horse bucks furiously and he's thrown, everything fading to black.  When he opens his eyes, he's in a room he doesn't recognize with the most beautiful woman he's ever seen...

When tough, independent rancher Ingrid Larsen finds Luke trapped in a ravine, she brings him back to her family ranch to recover.  But the last thing she wants to do is answer all of his questions when he wakes or discuss the mysterious "accidents" that have been threatening her family and the ranch she loves.  So when Luke demands to stay on and keep her safe, she refuses.  She doesn't need a man to save her...not even one as rugged and as irresistible as Luke Malloy.  

But the attacker isn't finished yet--he has his sights set on Ingrid.  Can Luke protect the woman he's come to love?

The first audiobook in a brand new contemporary romance series from Jennifer Snow, perfect for fans of Lori Wilde, Lori Foster, and Olivia Miles.

--------

When Abigail Reed's NHL-star husband becomes tabloid fodder, their marriage ends in divorce, and she and her seven-year-old daughter return to her hometown of Glenwood Springs, Colorado to start over. She is determined to steer clear of men, especially ones who wear skates for a living. But when her daughter decides to join the local junior hockey team, Abigail is forced to return to the arena. And things get complicated when she discovers that her daughter's coach is Jackson Westmore--her husband's best friend and a man she'd once had feelings for. 

Jackson Westmore's dream of playing professional hockey came to an end when he was cut after his first season, simply failing to live up to the talent possessed by his brothers and best friend. Now, he lives in his hometown and coaches the local junior hockey teams. He's the steady brother, the safe brother, the one who can be counted on. Until Abigail Reed returns to Glenwood Springs with her daughter, and suddenly Jackson isn't feeling so even-keeled. Old feelings of attraction and betrayal resurface when Abby's around, and nobody can get under his skin like she can. And he's never wanted to kiss someone more in his life.

Can the two put the past behind and take a chance on a lifetime together? And will their relationship survive when Jackson is offered another opportunity to live his dream? After all, Abigail has sworn to never love another hockey player...

HOT WINTER NIGHTS by Codi Gary w/ James Patterson, Read by Jay Snyder- Excerpt

Performed by Summer Morton and Jay Crow


I'll never forget the way she looked, so confident and sure of herself. I watched her from a distance. She wasn't ready for me yet. I didn't approach her and I didn't disturb her, but I never once took my eyes off her.  

Mallory Sullivan is ready to start her new life. After graduating at the top of her class, she's landed one of the most coveted internships in the United States. Hard work and determination have gotten her to this moment of living the life she only dreamed of while growing up in foster care. 

From the start, I knew that she would be my greatest achievement, so the day I let her go, I set down a path for her. A path to me.  

She never expected Oz to be the greatest culmination of those dreams. But sometimes fate determines who you fall in love with. Who makes you lose control. Who owns your soul. 

And then you realize it wasn't fate at all… 

I've wanted to care for and protect her since the first moment I saw her. I've constructed everything in our lives so that at the perfect moment, I could have her, could give her the life she deserves. 

The time has come.

Mia likes to have fun in all aspects of her life. Whether she's out enjoying the beautiful weather or spending time at home reading a book, a smile is never far from her face. She's prone to randomly laughing at nothing in particular except for whatever idea amuses her at any given moment.

Sometimes you just need to enjoy life, right?

She loves to read, dance, and explore outdoors. Chamomile tea and bubble baths are two of her favorite things. Flowers are especially nice, and she could get lost in a garden if it's big enough and no one's around to remind her that there are other things to do.

She lives in New Hampshire, where the weather is beautiful and the autumn colors are amazing.

This is a place for her to add audiobook samples of her books, along with some free bonus content, teasers, and more! She likes to write contemporary romance with a forbidden love story twist, and most of her writing is like a sexy romantic comedy movie transformed into written form.

Her books are available on Amazon and Audible.com in e-book, paperback, and audio format.
