He’s much too old for her, but when his daughter, Karissa, decides – once again – it’s time for him to “make nice” with his ex-wife, he tells her that he’s dating someone. Which someone? He uses the name of the woman he ran into at the front desk.
Chloe Morgan
She’s hiding out at a Lake Tahoe resort for the weekend after catching her boyfriend and cousin in an intimate act. Her best friend, Dalilah Knight, pays for her reservation and all she must do is pretend to be her friend for the weekend. Simple? Wrong.

Some say I’m cocky — I say I’m confident.
Things have always come easy for me; sports, academics…girls. And I’ve used all of that to my advantage the past three years of college.
I’ve got it all, or at least I thought I did until Laken walks into my life.
I’ve never desired a relationship like my parents have, but there is some mysterious pull I feel toward this brunette I’ve noticed around campus.
And with each interaction we have, I long to know her more. Yet the closer we get, the harder she resists and the higher the walls go up.
I sense there’s something more – a secret she’s hiding – one she doesn’t trust to share with me yet.
But she will, if I have my way, and I’ll do anything if she’ll take a chance on me. On us. I grew up hearing the story of how my parents met, their separation, how my dad fought for them, and their happily ever after. I just never expected or wanted to find that for myself.
Now that I have I don’t want to ever let them go.
But when I’m given the opportunity of a lifetime after graduation, will the offer of my heart be enough for her to accept? Or will I lose her forever?

Temping sucks, especially when you have a shopping addiction.
I started at Seemore Temps when my dreams were shattered and I needed something to pay the bills.
At Seemore Temps they pride themselves on the three B’s. Beauty, Brains, and Bounty.
They supply the mostly male-driven businesses of Manhattan with able women that can do the job, and look good too.
Needless to say, we’re a popular Agency.
Working for Mason Chase should have been easy. He was married, kind and a bit of a flirt, but pretty harmless.
Not like James Murtaugh or the Shameless Bastard as I’ve come to call him.
He’s the ruthless, arrogant CEO of Renowned Investment Financial, and he’s set his eyes on… me.
He can have any woman he wants and will go to great lengths to have them.
I need this job, but I want, Christ, what do I want? Do I give in? Let him conquer me like some Emperor?
Or do I stay in my place and collect the paycheck? We shall see, either way, it’s gonna be interesting.
All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

He’s exactly the heartthrob Frenchman that I’d dream of meeting on this train ride from Paris to Rome if this was that kind of vacation… which it certainly wasn’t and accepting his invitation was not a good idea.
A sexy Frenchman was not the way to nurse a broken heart on my honeymoon for one.
But when he referred to himself as a wanker on the phone, the heat inside me grew.
Wanker absolutely triggered my imagination on his muscular frame.
And why did British slang suddenly sound like a name in my fantasies?
This wasn’t me and I shouldn’t call him Mr. Wanker. But when our train breaks down, we make a deal that he’ll take me to Monte Carlo and then we can continue onto Rome, together.
My honeymoon for one is now heating up. And the more time I spend with my Wanker, I start having fantasies of tossing everything and moving to Europe.
I’m delaying the inevitable. I know it, but if Quentin wanted me too, then I was his.
Falling in love wasn’t supposed to be a part of this under the moonlight fairy-tale vacation as they always end when reality crashes.

USA Today Bestselling Author, Victoria Pinder grew up in Irish Catholic Boston before moving to the Miami sun though she left that for a while to live in New Orleans, Denver, and now Pittsburgh. She started single but the husband and then children joined in on the fun. She’s worked in engineering, then lawyer, then teacher, and finally a novelist. She refused to one day turn 50 and realize she had nothing but her career and hours at a desk.
During all this time and travel, she always wrote stories to entertain herself or calm down. Her parents are practically minded people demanding a job, and Victoria spent too many years living other people’s expectations, but when she sat down to see what skill she had that matched what she enjoyed doing, writing became so obvious. The middle school yearbook when someone wrote in it that one day she’d be a writer made sense when she turned thirty.
She’s always been amazing, adventurous, and assured. It’s what gets her through the day.

“Excuse me sir, I know this sounds strange, but can I buy that bagel from you?”
I didn’t know at the time that one simple question would change my life irrevocably.
Not to mention the tall, dark, and handsome stranger that came with it.
As a struggling musician in New York, I’d take all the help I could get.
But help will come with a price from the aloof and powerful Bentley Schilling.

I’d never forget the day Melody Dumas approached me in that bagel shop.
She didn’t need any damn baked good for favors. She could just flash those deep brown eyes and get any man to do her bidding.
She shouldn’t be singing on a street corner, either. That songbird needed to be on a stage, and I had the power to make that happen.
Question was… What was in it for me?
