DARE TO LOVE HIM
The RIGHT GUY IN THE WRONG TOWN Series #1

 
I was raised to be an elite socialite, the prize trophy on a wealthy man’s arm—not a small bed and breakfast owner’s wife in the mountains.

Shane is the small-town guy I never should’ve hooked up with more than once.

My first kiss. The first to touch me. The one I gave my body to in his old truck.

It should’ve stayed merely physical, but visiting his B&B each July is my escape from a life of duties and expectations my Bel Air parents drummed into my head.

One week a year of carnal bliss.

Shane always tries to convince me to stay longer (with orgasms), but I think we’re on the same page—friends with really good benefits and nothing more.

Until he says he loves me.

And he wants me to make a choice—give him a real chance, or we’re done.

I can’t. We can’t.

I’m supposed to find a suitable husband, not shack up with a hot country boy in the middle of Nowheresville, Colorado!

Even as I try to convince him we’re too different, I’m really afraid he won’t want me long if I take the leap and he’s stuck with me every day. I’ve worn a mask to survive in L.A.’s high society my whole life and my façade hides a mess of anxieties and self doubt.

My parents’ affection always came with conditions, after all.

Can I summon the courage to risk losing everything I’ve been to take a chance on love?

This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.

Recipe for a Revealing Christmas

Two lonely friends. One holiday movie. A little whiskey and wine.

It’s the recipe for truths and revelations that will change our lives forever.

This holiday is building to be as fun as always—until the last bit of family I have makes it clear I’m not wanted. My first thought is to seek comfort from my next-door neighbor and best friend, but I end the night in his bed with secret feelings laid bare.

Have I unwrapped the best Christmas present a woman could ask for?

This story is intended for readers 18 and over due to adult language, sexual content, and adult situations.

BONUS!

At the end of my story in this set is a link to my "other holiday stories".

That link takes you to a page with a coupon code to get Kiss Me At Christmas at a $6 discount in my store!

This holiday set retails for $15.99 and this is the only place you can snag it for $9.99 for the holiday season.
