I mumble through my pain, backing away while he's still coming at me.
"She does deserve better, so why the f*ck did you bring her out here?"

Fall From Grace by Tori Fox
I risked everything to write the story that could change my life. And it did, just not in the way I hoped. I was fired.
I went to my brother with my tail between my legs begging him for a job.
He came through and managed to get me one… working for his best friend.
But the most embarrassing thing, he happened to be my one night stand from a week ago and now enemy number one in my eyes.
We push each other's buttons every day in every way.
Except, the more time I spend with him, the more I let my walls down.
I’ve always known that some things are too good to be true.
And Carson Taylor is one of them.
—
She’s my best friend's little sister, Grace Prescott.
She is beyond off limits. And now, she works for me.
She’s a constant tease to me with those sexy outfits and bee stung lips.
But her teasing ends up turning into late night rendezvous and dirty secrets.
She’s hiding things from me. And it just might be my downfall.
I could lose everything again.
My pride, my job, my best friend.
Is this my not so eloquent fall from grace?

Devoted by Marie Johnston
After being abducted from my bodyguard’s care by my soon-to-be ex-husband, who paid him to off me in the middle of nowhere, I’m locked in the basement of my old Bel Air mansion. Not exactly where I saw myself at this point in the separation—with a bodyguard I feel like I can trust but who accepted millions from my ex, and an ex I suspect is still plotting my demise.
When that bodyguard rescues me, I’ve had enough time to decide he’s the better option. A guy who makes my whole body ignite from head to toe can’t be all bad. I’ve made worse decisions when it comes to men, but I don’t have time to question him as we flee my rich and powerful ex. We escape to a cabin in the middle of the mountains where I have nothing but questions Cannon refuses to answer.
I’m tired of being jerked around by the men in my life. It’s time to do some digging—and what I learn about my bodyguard has little to do with the ex who’s hunting us, but it has everything to do with why Cannon won’t let himself get close to me. I just hope we can work through his past to build ourselves a future—and stop my ex before he steals that from me too.
Devoted is the second book in the Devastated and Devoted Duet.

Not a Role Model by Lani Lynn Vale
You better watch out for people that bounce back from everything that’s meant to destroy them.
Those were the words that Coreline King learned to live by when it came to dealing with Tide ‘Rook’ Crow, member of the Battle Crows MC, general surgeon, and all-around jerk who lived to make her life a living hell.
It all started in high school when he stopped seeing her as a random girl and started to see her as his rival.
Together, they became ‘frenemies.’ I.e.—a person with whom one is friendly, despite a fundamental dislike or rivalry.
At least, it started out like that.
Everyone always says there’s a fine line between love and hate. And at first, Tide and Coreline don’t realize how very true that is.
Not until Tide gets hurt defending Coreline’s honor, and Coreline has to fix him because she feels like she owes him.
But one night of bad choices leads to a very big ‘oops’ that will either haunt them for the next eighteen years or bring them together as tight as they ever could be.

Hunter immediately goes from hot boss to protective bodyguard, and it’s not long before their forced proximity sends their attraction to explosive heights. But when her deranged stalker grows bolder, Zoey remembers why she moved to Wisdom in the first place—and why love will always be out of the question.
