He’s a billionaire in need of a wife …
And I’m his ex who can’t say no to him.

Ten years ago Carson Knight was my one great love, but he abandoned me without a trace.
Now he’s a billionaire single-dad in need of a temporary wife.
And he’s at my house on one knee with a proposal …
Marry him, so he’s more likely to win full custody of his daughter, keeping her safe from her unstable mother. In return, he’ll take care of the medical expenses for a surgery my father needs to survive.

Reluctantly, I agree to tie the knot, on one condition. Once those custody papers are signed, we go our separate ways. Because he’s even more gorgeous, charming, and sweeter than he was back then, and I don’t trust myself not to fall for my fake husband.

Especially when I hear him say “my wife.”

Or feel his hands on my skin. Taste his kiss or see the way he looks at me with those blue eyes and know that our carefully crafted rules will shatter.

Right alongside my heart.

Brynn and Crew have an amazing connection with meeting ten years ago while on vacation. When they meet again it was like no time had pasted, they were able to pick up where they had left. Crew and Brynn both need one another’s help for different reasons but in the end, they were able to find so much more then they had originally had thought. Crew, Layla and Brynn are the perfect trio to end the series. I’m excited to see what other books Michaels has in store.

I never knew how to stick up for myself.
I never had to.

That’s what Nate Manning, my best friend, was for.

After an accident left me disfigured and half-blind, I took the torment and bullying while Nate fought my battles for me, as unhinged and questionable as his methods were—and I let him.

But that was before I bumped into the confident and strong Indigo Sky.

Suddenly, I had something to fight for, something to defend—something more important than me … especially after taking a job as a bouncer at the club where she danced.

I made a vow to protect her at all costs.

And I will do anything to keep that promise … even if it means burning bridges with my best friend—or risking my own life to save hers …

When Revan was a kid, he ended up in an accident that left him half blind with an eye patch. That’s when the bullying started. He never learned to defend him self because he never needed to before. A boy named Nate becomes his saviour and they become the best of friends. Indigo is a dancer at a local strip club. She’s confident, caring and strong who is the one that was meant for Revan. This is told on Revan’s POV which was fantastic because I always want to get in the guy’s head to see what their thinking in certain moments. I read a lot of spicy books, but this was a different level of spice with all the emotion that was coming though with these too. I can’t wait to see what book is going to be next and the emotional toll that it will take.

A grumpy, reclusive New York billionaire meets his match in the maid who makes his bed (in more ways than one).

When an older guy with a dirty grin and an expensive suit flirts with me from the next barstool, I don’t realize I’m about to have a one-night stand with the man I desperately want to work for.

After a night that leaves my world (and body) shaken, I start my summer job housekeeping in a five-star hotel even though I’m determined to kickstart my career in tech. As I dust and polish the Park Suite, in walks Mr. Dirty Grin—now with an icy glare.

Why is the man from last night who was so charming (and good with his tongue) so furious this morning? As I piece together the puzzle, I discover the guest in the Park Suite is none other than Ben Fort, the reclusive tech mogul I want to work for.

Ben has kept his identity hidden for years and he wants to know how I figured him out overnight.

As he questions me, I don’t waste time telling him he’s a (super-hot) grump who needs to lighten up—and give me a job.

I don’t want to sleep my way to the top, and he doesn’t trust me. But neither of us can resist the sizzling sparks that fly every time I fluff his pillows.

While reading this I was completely enthralled with these two. I hadn’t realized how fast that I had read the book until I got to then end. Efa (love the name) is from London but is currently in NY to find her way to her dream job. She gets a job as a maid in a top hotel. While looking around she goes to the hotel bar and while there she meets a handsome man named Ben. She never thought that she was going to be seeing him again, well that was until she goes into work and the room, she happens to be cleaning is Ben’s. The chemistry they have is on fire. While reading this reminded me of Maid in Manhattan. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

He’s her brother’s best friend. She’s totally off-limits. But when life takes an unexpected turn, she’s the only one he wants at his side…

Fyfe Moray raised himself. His only real family is his best friend, Lewis Adair. For that reason, Lewis’s sister Eilidh is totally off-limits. Fyfe is in deep denial about their intense attraction. Thankfully, Eilidh is a famous actor living in London while he runs his cyber security company from the Highlands. They’re worlds apart. Until one day, Eilidh reaches out asking for a lifeline and Fyfe can’t bring himself to turn her away.

Acting isn’t what Eilidh Adair expected. As a kid, she wanted to be just like her famous uncles. But the double-edged sword of fame cuts deeper than expected. Afraid to admit she’s made a mistake, Eilidh is spiraling. The only person who knows the truth is Fyfe, but her childhood crush has developed into a love he won’t return. Yet when she comes home intent on starting over, Fyfe can’t seem to stay away. His confused feelings might just be the end of them. Until a woman from Fyfe’s past abandons the baby daughter he never knew he had.

Now a single father, Fyfe needs support. He just never expected Eilidh to be the one he needed most. Fyfe can’t believe how quickly he falls for his child and how rapidly his world view changes. He’s ready to admit the truth: he’s madly in love with his best friend’s sister. And Fyfe’s done wasting time.

But someone else believes Eilidh belongs to them. Someone who has been watching her far longer than she realizes. Just when she thinks she might have everything she wants, Eilidh finds herself caught in the crosshairs of a person intent on destroying everything she holds dear.

Fyfe and Eilidh have been long time friends living in a small town. Fyfe has had a hard childhood being from a broken home. He’s always had a crush on Eilidh, he doesn’t want to cross that line because of how much the Adair family has helped him. Eilidh ends her acting career and moves back home because all the fame isn’t all what she was expecting it to be. The relationship Eilidh and Fyfe have is a slow burn, when they finally decide to make a go for it it’s a roller coaster of raw emotions you can see how truly these two are meant to be.

My company is thriving, and life is good.
But then Emerson Chadwick happened.
It must be the universe’s way of messing with me when I least expect it.
Our town’s new pediatrician is gorgeous and brilliant and—complicated.
I’m not looking for complications.
To make matters worse, my little boy is crazy about her, and now she’s moved in next door.
She’s everywhere I turn.
I can’t stay away no matter how hard I try.
But Emerson isn’t here to stay.
This is just a temporary stop for her.
And now my heart beats for her in a way I never expected.
Falling for the girl next door is a bad idea.
Loving her… well, that’s as easy as breathing.

Its’s one of my favorites in the series thus far. I can’t wait to meet who’s next.
