An all-new STANDALONE from New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent
It all started with the wrong Help Wanted ad. Of course it did.
I’m a professional fluffer. It’s NOT what you think. I stage homes for a living. Real estate agents love me, and my work stands on its own merits.
Sigh. Get your mind out of the gutter. Go ahead. Laugh. I’ll wait.
See? That’s the problem. My career has used the term “fluffer†for decades. I didn’t even know there was a more… lascivious definition of the term.
Until it was too late.
The ad for a “professional fluffer†on Craigslist seemed like divine intervention. My last unemployment check was in the bank. I was desperate. Rent was due. The ad said cash paid at the end of the day.
The perfect job!
Staging homes means showing your best angle. The same principle applies in making a certain kind of movie. Turns out a “fluffer†doesn’t arrange decorative pillows on a couch.
They arrange other soft, round-ish objects.
The job isn’t hard. Er, I mean, it is — it’s about being hard. Or, well… helping other people to be hard.
Oh, man…
And that’s the other problem. A man. No, not one of the stars on the movie set. Will Lotham – my high school crush. The owner of the house where we’re filming. Illegally. In a vacation rental.
By the time the cops show up, what I thought was just a great house staging gig turned into a nightmare involving pictures of me with a naked star, Will rescuing me from an arrest, and a humiliating lesson in my own naivete.
My job turned out to be so much harder than I expected. But you know what’s easier than I ever imagined?
Having all my dreams come true.

Excerpt
“I can't tonight. I have a date,†I blurt out, remembering David. The dating app. The asshole who isn't an asshole.
Yet. I haven't met him, so that judgment remains withheld.
“A date?†Will asks, intrigued.
“Yes. A date. You know, that thing where you go out with someone who has no intention of really getting to know you and you spend the entire time eating bread that doesn’t taste as good as your date claims and trying to decide whether to initiate rescue-text sequences with your mom.â€
“That’s your idea of a date?â€
“That is my actual experience of every date I’ve had since college.â€
“You’re dating the wrong guys.†He holds my gaze for just a little too long. I look away.
“I have to keep fishing in the pond if I ever want to catch a different one.â€
“If that’s the way you talk to your dates, I am beginning to understand why they all turn out so badly.â€
“Hey!â€
“What?â€
“Don’t accuse me of being a bad date. I’m a great date! I Google the guy in advance and read his LinkedIn profile. I make sure I don’t wear super-tall heels in case he lied about his height on his dating profile. I pretend to care about all his hobbies and don’t reveal that I’m secretly tallying all the micro-aggressions he’s sending my way during appetizers and wine. And if he makes it to dessert, well–†I falter.
“You never make it to dessert, do you?†Will asks, eyebrows up. He drops them quickly, wincing.
“I–well–it’s not that I don’t. He doesn’t!â€
“He ditches you?â€
“No! No! It’s just that he always has a thing.â€
“A thing?â€
“A work emergency. Or a dog with a twisted bowel. Or a grandma in the ER.â€
“How many guys used the twisted-canine-intestine thing?â€
“Three.†I sit down and sag against his teenage desk, elbows sliding forward, fingers deep in my hair. “I looked it up. There’s an entire subreddit devoted to inventive ways to get out of a bad date.â€
“And yet here you are.†He leans against the edge of his desk. “Trying again.â€
“I’m a masochist.â€
His eyes gleam. “Maybe you should start your dates with that line. ‘Hi. I’m Mallory Monahan. I’m a masochist.’ You’d definitely make it to dessert.â€

The Collection
#1 Keeping Her Close
Black Rousseau has honored the code and kept his distance from the one thing in this world that means something to him. But things are about to change. Black’s just received the blessing he’s been waiting for since the moment he set eyes on his boss’ daughter.
Book One in the CAN'T WAIT series of standalones.
Growing up in the biker bar her father owned, Roxie Lear dreams of getting out of Hell, Michigan. The only other thing she’s always wanted is Black Rousseau. But he treats her like she doesn’t exist. Until the day her father goes to prison, that is. And Black lets her know what’s been boiling behind his cool indifference all these years.
Will Black’s preparations to claim Roxie once and for all be too much for her? Will the darkness inside of him frighten away the only thing in this world he’s ever needed?
Author note: This alpha is a little dark and a bit brutal but he cherishes what is his. As always, this story is safe/no cheating with the perfect happy ending. Strap on your wrist cuffs and your safe word, this hot quickie of a smutty read will have you questioning your morals and wiggling in your seat.
#2 Back to Her
Going to prison and taking the fall was my gift to Mia. How was I to know her father would disappear with her and I would lose her forever? After serving my five years I’m finally out, but bars or no bars, I’m still in hell.
Book Two in the CAN'T WAIT standalone series.
I never believed in miracles until today. Because I’ve found her. All plush softness, sorrowful eyes and lips that call to be kissed. She’s right here in the same place I’d met her all those years ago when she was too young. Before I could touch her.
There is no force on heaven or earth that will take her from me again. No force that will keep my hands off her now. I will take her. I will do as I please with her because she is mine. Now and forever. God help us both.
Author’s Note: Take five years waiting for her to be legal. Then another five locked up in prison and you’ve got one powder keg of alpha naughtiness waiting to explode. This love at the speed of light novella will warm your heart and your nether regions. All you expect…safe, smutty, swoony and happily ever after.
#3 Let Go
Rockstar. Actor. Entrepreneur. I’m Lachlan Marcus, and I just walked out on my empire. I bought a ball cap and a pair of cheap sunglasses and took the first bus leaving the station.
I landed in a small town looking straight into the eyes of an angel with auburn curls and curves that bring to life my inner barbarian, determined to make her mine. She’s naïve, yet wise, and sees directly into my soul like no one ever before. Within twenty-four hours, I’ve got her inside the wedding chapel and my last name attached to her.
Only she has no idea who I really am. I represent everything in this world she’s been taught to distrust.
The life I left has come calling, and I’m losing her before our life together can even begin.
Author’s Note: This famous hero hasn’t touched a woman in longer than he can remember, and she’s never been kissed. They don’t waste any time heating up the pages and making up for what they’ve been missing. This super-fast steamy read is safe, no cheating and has the best kind of happy ending.
Book Three in the CAN'T WAIT standalone series.
#4 Our Turn
NEW & AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY IN THIS COLLECTION!!
She didn’t think I saw her. Hiding behind her ball cap and baggy clothes, but Jesus, did I see her. I’ve followed her, spied on her, stalked her.
See, I’m not a good guy. I’ve never wanted anyone in my life except my clients. The only people in my life take from me and I take back with forty-percent on top and maybe a few broken fingers.
With one phone call everything changes. The shy, kind beauty I’ve set my sights on can never be mine. Not in the way I’ve imagined every night for half a year. How will I ever look her in those silver eyes and not think of taking her in all the filthy ways I’ve imagined? It’s wrong. So very wrong.
Only things aren’t what they seem. Fate opens the door, and I’m not just going to walk through; I’m doing to kick it down. When she finds out who I am− what I am− it may all be over anyway. Until then, I’m chasing down what’s mine, even if it’s wrong.
Author’s Note: It’s the most taboo sort of misunderstanding but makes these two struggle to come to terms with what they are feeling. It’s fast, hard, and all the best sort of smutty. So, sit back, suspend reality, and take a happily ever after ride. Safe, no cheating, and all the usual naughtiness you expect. And, just for the record, no one is actually related, it’s all on the up and up.

Author Bio
Dani Wyatt used to feel bad about having such dirty thoughts. Luckily, one day she decided to start writing them down. Her uber alpha heros have a wicked possessive streak and an insatiable libido. Her heroines are intelligent, quirky and worry about having too much muffin top. With her books, you can count on a heaping helping of HOT, a dash of rough and always a happily ever after.
When she's not writing (which is not often) she is probably laughing about some irony (like A-1 Steak Sauce is vegan), riding her horse, wondering why The Walking Dead can't have a new episode every night, or looking cross-eyed at some piece of technology sent to ruin her day.

What do you get when you cross one feisty secretary with one determined billionaire?

Damn her and that red dress.
Now all I think about is her. All I fantasize about is her—her smile, her laugh, her long legs wrapped around my waist.
My dilemma, you ask? She doesn’t care that I’m a billionaire. And why should she? It means nothing, tells her nothing about who I am.
Lily Conrad doesn’t know what I’m made of, but you can be sure of one thing... She’s going to find out.

Excerpt
A light sound takes me out of my own head. I look to my left, and what I see robs me of my breath. I stand taller, suddenly unable to remember my own thoughts. A profile of porcelain skin, a sharp nose, and—Jesus—a full red lip claim my attention. Hair the color of amber piled high on her head, soft tendrils frame her face. I want to let it down, comb my fingers through it, see if it’s as soft as it looks…and I keep looking, because it’s impossible not to.
The smooth lines of her nape are set in grace, my tongue already mapping the perfect path down her skin. My eyes keep going because there’s no stopping them now. Moving lower to the dress, the color is a deep red, the neckline plunging. Being six foot one has its advantages. Even from the side, I can see the dip of cleavage. I lick my lips, already begging for a taste, wanting to know if she’s as sweet as she looks. Then I continue on, because wild horses couldn’t drag me away. I need to see more.
Unfortunately, as far as skin goes, the rest is covered by the floor-length gown. Whoever she is, she’s stunning, and I can’t stop staring. She has pleasure and sin written all over her. I’m hard now. My body ready to do what is instinctual to me.
For the first time in…well, forever, I want to be reckless. I want to throw her over my shoulder and drag her to the nearest closet. Sift through all that red, lush fabric and find her pussy. Put my mouth there, sweep my tongue across her clit. Drag an orgasm out of her that makes her see stars, makes her see no one but me. I laugh under my breath because that would be a first.
As if she knows what I’m thinking, she turns my way, and I’m knocked on my ass. My first thought: I want to get down on my hands and knees and thank God for this gift from heaven. Jesus. If I thought she was gorgeous from the side, head-on, she’s exquisite. Her eyes are a moss green. No, no—that description will not do. Because that doesn’t begin to describe soft sage peppered with golden yellow flecks. They’re clear and…wait, vulnerable? Or…I don’t know, apprehensive? How can a creature so beautiful be so scared? The million-dollar question—or in my case, the billionaire-dollar question.
When I realize I’ve been staring too long, I force a word from my lips. Any word will do at this point. “Hello.â€
Just brilliant, Jace.
“Hello,†she says back, almost reluctantly. “Can I help you with something?â€
“Pardon me?â€
She gestures with one hand, long fingernails painted red to match her dress. Red: it’s a bold color, feisty—daring, even. I wonder if she’s adventurous behind closed doors, if she likes to fuck on desks, up against walls. I wonder if she enjoys taking it in what I’m sure is a perfectly curved ass. I sure as hell want to find out. I’d relish the opportunity to have her mile-long legs wrapped around my waist, grinding on my cock.
“You were staring at me.â€
And thinking salacious thoughts, but I won’t mention that.
“I was?†It comes out like a question when there is absolutely no doubt it’s the truth.
The corner of her mouth turns up, but it doesn’t match her eyes. What is that I see? I want to figure it out, and then I want to take it away for her.
“Did you have a question?â€
“A question?†Did I even ask a question? Why is my brain not computing? I never waver, but this woman is throwing me off my game.
Maybe she can read my thoughts. Perhaps she knows the question inquiring minds want to know: How does she like to fuck?
I’ve been silent too long, imagining all the different ways I could bring her to orgasm, and now it looks like she’s holding back a laugh. I want to hear what her laugh sounds like. Is it high and melodic or low and raspy?
“Yes. Did you have one?â€
I can feel the crease slash my forehead. “I’m…â€
An idiot. Confused. Tongue-tied by your beauty.
Yeah, that’ll do.
Her eyebrows lift. “You’re…â€
I clear my throat and step into my confidence once again. Then I edge closer, the scent of something floral floating under my nose. “Tongue-tied by your beauty.â€
She actually laughs, and here I thought I was smoother than that. But hey, I made her laugh, so point for me.

Excerpt
“When will you turn eighteen?†he whispers into my mouth.
“Sunday,†I whisper back.
“Two days from now?†he asks, still kissing me.
“Mmmm-hmmm,†I mumble back, thinking if this is kissing I should’ve started doing it sooner.
He pulls away, a pained look on his face. I know he’s going to leave. Right now. He’s going to yell at me for deceiving him and walk right out my sister’s door.
“Oh, God, Aria.â€
“I’m so sorry. I really am. I won’t tell anyone if you don’t. Please don’t tell anyone I brought you up here. My father would be pissed and he’ll drag me home to the boring suburbs, and my exciting pretend adult life in the city will be over!â€
He exhales.
“You’re mad,†I say. “I know you’re mad. And… and I’m bad. I know that. This was bad. I’m bad. And I probably deserve to go home.â€
“No,†he says. “That’s not what I’m thinking about right now.â€
“You’re not?†I say, genuinely surprised because if I were him, I’d be thinking that yeah, this girl has no clue what she’s doing and has no business being left alone in her sister’s apartment in the city for four weeks.
But thank God, I don’t say any of that out loud. Instead, I say, “Then what are you thinking about?â€
He looks at me hungrily. Like he’s the Big Bad Wolf and I’m Little Red. Like he wants to eat me up in one gulp.
And I look back at him like maybe I want him to do that.
“Two days?†he asks again.
“Yes.†I nod. “I’m meeting my parents for tea at the Corinthian and then we’re going to see that musical everyone’s talking about.â€
“God help me,†he says.
“What? Why? I said I was sorry. Please don’t tell. Please,†I beg.
“I’m not gonna tell, Aria.â€
“You’re not?†I brighten.
“Not if you don’t,†he says. And that hungry look is back. Only it’s like he’s starving and needs to eat something now. Anything, even if it’s me.
And to tell the truth, I feel the same way. My body is all tingly and my lips—I reach up to touch them. They feel all weird. His touch lingering. The minty taste of his mouth still fresh inside mine.
“What are you thinking about?†I ask.
He reaches for me, then steps back without touching. I want him to touch me, I realize. I didn’t intend for that to happen when I brought him up here, but I do.
But I see that he’s about to leave, to walk out and never come back, so I reach for him.
He shakes his head and backs away. “I shouldn’t have kissed you. I just can’t…â€
I wait for him to continue, but he doesn’t. So I say, “You can’t what?â€
“I can’t help myself. I have to go before I do something stupid.â€
“No!†I say, grabbing onto the sleeve of his coat. “Just… wait.â€
He looks at me over his shoulder and says, “Aria. If I stay here another second I’m going to lift up your little skirt, pull down your pink panties, and stick my fingers inside you until you come.â€
My mouth drops open.
“And if you open your mouth like that again, I’ll stick my cock inside it.â€
I shut my mouth.
“I’m sorry,†he says, shaking his head. “That was so fucking inappropriate.â€
Which it totally was. But it was also totally hot.
“I gotta go.â€
And then he does. He leaves. He opens the door, walks through it in a rush, and closes it behind him.
And when I open it back up to call him back, he’s already out of sight. Nothing but footsteps on the stairs.

IT'S NOT A LIE IF WE BELIEVE IT'S TRUE.
That's what Griff Foster said right after he asked me to be his wife.
Sweet, isn't he?
Let's be real: his proposal had nothing to do with romance. Falling in love isn't in his DNA. With piercing blue eyes and a hard body to match, he goes through women like candy.
But he saved my life.
I promised I'd repay him. I should learn when to keep my mouth shut.
Griff needs a Mrs. Right Now, and he's convinced I'm the perfect actress.
In case I have any doubts, there are seven badly needed zeroes on a check with my name on it to help make up my mind.
Ugh.
We're totally fake. Nothing but lies.
Except the way his lips feel on mine. Except the way his touch sets my body ablaze. Except the way my soul aches when he looks into my eyes.
He says that without me, he loses everything.
But if I've got the upper hand, why does it feel like he's in control?
There's only one thing missing from this arrangement.
What happens to my heart when it's over?

Excerpt
That was it!
What kind of fucking game was he trying to play? I made a complete fool out of myself, then he tried to turn it around on me! No one was going to treat me like this, especially not him.
Once in my room, I raced toward the closet, grabbed my bag, and dragged it out. Fuck this place!
Tiny Me chimed in. No, no! Wait! What are you doing? The money!
"I don't care about the money!" I yelped, clutching my fingers into fists. "Don't you understand? I care about him!" Oh shit. No. No.
I sensed a presence in the doorway. "What did you say?"
"Stay away from me." I spun in place, biting my lip and sputtering hate. "I'm leaving. You can't stop me."
He didn't listen. Of course. I mean, why start now?
Marching right toward me, Griff continued, "You said you cared about me. Don't try and deny it."
Yeah, no kidding. You ass. "Of course, I do! Jesus! Do you know how many men I've offered my virginity to? Do you? Take a wild guess."
Griff didn't respond. What could he say? He already knew the answer.
I poked him in the chest. "Just one. Guess how that went over?"
Griff's nostrils flared. His eyes narrowed. I was pissing him off. Well. Good! Now he knew how I felt!
"Move," I snarled, edging past him.
I felt the handle of my suitcase rip free from my hand. By the time I turned to look and see what happened, he'd swept me up me in his arms, racing for the bed.
No!
"Put me down!" I floated in his embrace until he slammed me with a thump, pinning me beneath him. Struggle was useless, but I gave it everything I had, jerking from side-to-side until the instant his lips found mine.
Oh fuck. No! Yes. Yes. Yeeessss…
The passion from his kiss ripped through my body like wildfire, reigniting the embers he left smoldering inside of me with his refusal. Griff's pelvis pressed into me, the impossible hardness between his legs threatened to reawaken my lust into an inferno until my wits returned.
"Stop!" I gasped, breaking my mouth free. My palms went flat, shoving against his torso. "Get off of me!"
His gaze gave me the answer. Never. Griff ignored my pleas and gripped harder, making me feel he'd crush me into dust if I uttered another word. Reaching up, I clawed and scratched, digging my nails into the steel of his thick chest. But my rage only stoked him, and he groaned, his mouth invading mine again, filling it with his tongue. My resistance turned to vapor, whisps of hate floating away from me while Griff took what he wanted.
At last, he pulled away. I looked at him, my vision glassy from the struggle, each of us fighting for a breath.
"We can't." I exhaled. "It's a mistake."
Wait. That wasn't no. Was it?
He licked his lips and sank his pelvis deeper, driving it hard between my legs. I stifled a whimper.
"You're right," he hummed, reaching for one of my tits, cupping it in his grasp. Uhhh. My eyes rolled back in my head, his touch had me on the verge of blackout.
"It's the biggest mistake of all," he warned. "No turning back. No way out."
No way out. His words reached into my soul, giving me the answer my brain couldn't. I don't want one. Don't give me one. If you do, I might take it.
Wordless, Griff moved over me, a shadow threatening the last shreds of my chastity. With my legs spread and my innocence at risk, I inched my mouth toward his lips when he whispered his final threat.
"At last."

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: April 26, 2019 Blurb
WANTED: A ROOMMATE
Requirements
1. Don’t be a smoker. That’s gross.
2. Don’t be a jerk. I have no time to deal with your mood swings.
3. Clean up after yourself. Is it really so hard to put dirty clothes where they belong?
If you meet these qualifications, call me.
Sincerely,
Desperately Seeking Roommate
When I put the ad in my university’s newspaper, the last thing I ever expect is for the star football player to respond.
From what I know of him, Abel Russo is a womanizer and an absolute jerk.
Sadly, he’s the only thing stopping me from being evicted by my annoyingly gleeful landlord.
It should be easy enough—there’s no chance we’ll fall for each other. But then he gives me lingering looks, and I might just be looking back.
All I wanted was a roommate, but I’m about to get so much more than I bargained for.

Excerpt
Abel’s lips turn up but he doesn’t take his eyes off the road. “Like what you see, Blondie?â€
My cheeks redden at being caught, but I stick my chin haughtily into the air unwilling to cower at being called out. “Maybe there’s a bug on your face.â€
That smile of his widens. “There’s not.â€
“So confident,†I mutter, crossing my arms over my chest and staring out the windshield.
“Why wouldn’t I be? You kissed me.â€
“I kissed you back, big difference.†I kick my flip-flops off and rest my bare feet on the dashboard.
“Kissing back is still kissing.â€
“Ugh,†I toss my hands up, “you’re impossible.â€
“Impossibly handsome? Charming? Irresistible? All three? Definitely all three.†He answers his own question.

Author: Arell Rivers
Genre: Contemporary Rockstar Romance
Release Date: April 25, 2019
Blurb
One impassioned argument.
One dominating kiss.
One unexpected moment that turns everything upside down.
And that’s only the opening act.
Rockstar Braxton Hunte is the type of chaos that makes your soul burn…
Brax has been on tour for a decade, and some may say he swallows obstacles for fun. Well, maybe he does—he’s never encountered a riff he couldn’t handle, a treasure he couldn’t score, or a woman he couldn’t conquer. No one, especially not a buttoned-down rule-follower like the band’s new tour accountant, is going to change him.
Accountant Sara Anderson is an unabashed stickler for the rules…
Sara’s worked nine long years to make partner, and only one thing stands between her and her goal—Hunte. Now she’s going on their tour to whip the band into financial shape. So long as she gets them out of the red, the promotion will be hers. Those bad boys of rock will be tamed, no matter how yummy their lead singer is.
When rebellion confronts discipline, fireworks explode.
Passions collide, and lives are permanently altered, in this enemies-to-lovers, slow burn standalone romance set in the mid-1990s—when grunge ruled the airwaves and women partners were as uncommon as those new mobile phones.

Excerpt
“Okay, enough babbling about me. What’s up in your life?â€
I fill her in about Hunte and my brilliant strategy to bring them to heel.
“Oh my gosh, Sara, Hunte is to die for! You are so lucky.â€
I know what she’s talking about, and feign ignorance. “It’s work, not play.†I pause. “So can I count on you to watch over my plants if I have to stay away longer than a week?â€
“Sure.â€
“I’ll drop off the instructions, plus a copy of my itinerary in case you need to reach me, in your mailbox on my way to the airport.â€
“Sounds good.†She giggles. “Geez, we both wouldn’t kick Braxton Hunte out of bed for eating crackers. Of course, that was before I got married. So now, it’s all on you.â€
Even if I used to agree with her, my promotion rests on them now. I open the hall closet and grab a roll of toilet paper, filling up the holder in the guest bathroom. “Joanna, I’m going to be their tour accountant, not their groupie. No one from A&L has ever joined them on tour. I’m convinced that if I spend a week or two with them, I’ll sort out their crazy spendthrift ways. The partners will have no choice but to invite me into their ranks.â€
When I finish, she’s silent for a long pause. “Hunte’s been around for years now…â€
Having restored perfect order to my house, I collapse onto my sectional sofa. I kick my legs up on the soft fabric and lean back against the headrest. “Eight years.â€
“Have they ever been in the black?â€
I place my left foot on my right knee. “Yes. Their first couple of years were good. If they didn’t spend like drunken sailors—or rockstars—they would’ve been profitable every year.â€
“Isn’t that what rockstars do? I mean, don’t they just spend as much as they make?â€
“I don’t know, Joanna. I’ve never met one.â€
A giggle floats through my handset. “Well, seems to me that you’re going to be meeting a few. Tomorrow.â€
Rats. I thought I had successfully diverted her thoughts. I switch up my legs so that my right foot now rests on my left knee. “Whatever. They’re just a job.â€
Full-blown laughter assails my ears. “Oh, honey, don’t try to pull that crap with me. Braxton Hunte is all that and a bag of chips. And he’s a free agent now, since he got divorced. With a son who’s his spitting image, which we both know only ups his appeal. I’m impressed—you’ve figured out a way to be with him. Brava.â€
Both my legs crash down onto my sectional and a scowl crosses my face. “First, this client—emphasis on client, Joanna—is going to make me partner. Second, Hunte is a rock band, not a ‘he.’ Third, I enjoy their music, but I certainly do not have a crush on them.â€
More laughter ensues. “Sure. You keep telling yourself that. When you’re face to face with Braxton Hunte, remember my words. All your tingly bits are going to be singing his song.â€

Welcome to Patchwork House…
Patchwork House is a boy’s club—a mean boy’s club. They made an exception for Tweetie once, and they’re going to make another, because she’s coming home. After two years away and one too many broken hearts, Tweetie swore off skaters—but she never expected Flip.
Flip was the most famous skater in the world until he traded his place at Patchwork with the little girl whose life he ruined. Now Tweetie’s all grown up, and one chance encounter brings them together. He knows the right thing to do is disappear before things get ugly, but he never was very good at being good.
She’s back, and so is he—all bets are off. Nothing will stop this bad boy from finally getting his lost girl. They're written in the stars, and it's time she knows it.
The first lesson Flip taught Tweetie was how to fall.
It was also the last thing she remembered when they met again, because she didn’t just fall for him.
She slammed.

Excerpt
“I’m so bad for you. If I was a good guy, I’d stop. I’d let you be happy.â€
I didn’t understand any of what he was saying, but the pain I felt. Deep. In his rocky, strangled voice and his desperate, cracking eyes.
“Whatever it is I’ll understand. If you did something…if something happened…I’ll understand.â€
Tell me. Please.
Let me in.
His stare dug into me, and again I was certain he was searching for something. I desperately wanted him to find it.
He exhaled, resigned.
“I’m not a good guy. I’m the fucking worst.†He captured my face in his palms, grip sure and almost painful in its desperation. The way he looked at me, I was sure he would kiss me. The way I felt, I was certain I would let him.
But then, with slow and almost agonizing determination, his lips came to my forehead.
I was frozen. Mute. Struck dumb. Everything stopped working all I knew was his lips on my skin. Soft and so tender, a complete contrast to his grip digging into my skull.
He pulled back, pressed his forehead to mine, and looked at me from beneath hooded lids.
“I’m going to put the awe back in your eyes,†he said, and my breath caught. “You looked at me like I was a god once, and you’ll do it again.â€

Title: Aurora Rose Reynolds'
Happily Ever Alpha World
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 16, 2019
Introduction
As a reader, I look for books that are sweet with low angst and have an over-the-top alpha male. I have always loved reading about couples that find each other at the beginning of a book and fall in love page after page, never really having a true separation. Never finding enough of those kinds of stories on the market, I decided to write my own. It was then the Until Series and the “BOOM†was born.
The Until Series is now published in ten languages, and the series, has sold millions copies worldwide. This series has taken on a life of its own, and readers from all over the world are constantly asking for the next installment, which is why I have opened my world to some of my favorite authors.
If you are a fan of the Until Series you are going to love each and every one of these books. Whether you are reading about one of your favorite secondary characters, catching a glimpse of one of the Maysons or visiting one of the local stores or coffee shops. And if you haven’t read any of my “Until†books but love alpha males, strong women and sweet romance I promise you are going to love these books.
