For Samuel Grayson, everything is black or white. As a funeral director, thereâs no room for in-between. Heâs accustomed to dealing with life and death, though heâs definitely more comfortable with the latter. Especially when it comes to a chaotic, petite, feisty ball of energy. Freedom Rayne. Samuelâs pretty sure her goal is to make his life hell, or so it appears. When Samuel boards a flight to Las Vegas for his sisterâs wedding, the last thing he expects is to share it with the one woman who drives him crazy.
Freedom is eccentric and completely content with it. Floating around from job to job, she finds peace and tranquility in everything she does, including tormenting poor, uptight Samuel Grayson. When she finds herself on the same flight as him for her best friendâs wedding, she sees this as the perfect opportunity to get under his skin, something she tries to do every chance she gets. The problem is the more time she spends with him, the more she likes him.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Not for Samuel and Freedom. Will they be able to forget about their trip when they return to Rockland Falls? What if one mistake turns out to be the best thing ever?

Hi thereâ¦.
Hmmm, no, that doesnât work.
Heyâ¦
Not quite.
Howdyâ¦
Good lord, what am I, a cowboy?
Sup?
Yeesh.
Whatever, let me just get right into it.
Iâm Waverly.
There, that wasnât so hard.
Iâm not going to blabber on about how strong and fierce I am.
Or proceed to tell you how broken or damaged my life has been.
No, Iâm just going to tell you that Iâm me. Just me. Waverly.
I am all of those things, but Iâm also so much more.
Iâm helping a club, a club that needs me to bring peace back into their worlds.
If you had asked me if Iâd be working for a biker club six months ago, I would have simply laughed in your face.
I mean, a biker club? Come on.
Yet here I am.
Doing the unthinkable.
Penetrating the deepest, darkest parts of the world.
Pretending to be something Iâm not.
Iâve got this, though.
That is one thing about me you should know, I wonât let them down.
I wonât crack under the pressure.
I wonât break, no matter how much horror I see.
There are lives at stake, there are people who need me.
Not a single thing will distract me from the mission Iâm on.
At least, thatâs what I first thought.
Until I didnât.
Now Iâm tangled up in a world I canât even begin to understand.
Now Iâm dealing with feelings that are foreign to me.
Feelings for a monster.
Feelings for an angel.
The literal battle between good and evil, and I'm living it.
Who are these men, you ask?
Youâre just going to have to start from the beginning.

Excerpt
I sighed. Three days of perfection. Reading my sigh, he pulled me around and caught my face softly in his hands, cradling me like I was a rare gem he was scared to lose. The sun slanted across his face, his dark hair lifting in the breeze, the strands of black lit with unexpected fiery hues of red. His lips lowered to mine, dark lashes fluttering against his cheekbones, and I held my breath, filled with an expectation that could make me explode. A deep and never-ending wanting that ate at my bones until I was weary with the needy ache.
âMarry me.â His question slipped into the air, rushing out to sea and mixing with the salt and brine in the air.
My chest heaved, caving with delight. I gasped a lungful of air, wide eyes meeting his.
With all my heart a yes pounded within me, it rushed in my veins, desperate to hit the surface and make itself known.
Another kiss, firmer, pushing for entry. I opened my mouth, his hot tongue slipping against mine, one of my favourite things. He cradled my head, tilting me with a mastery that made me a puppet in his hands.

Excerpt
âDance with me, rain cloud.â
âDonât call me that,â she mutters.
âIâll call you what I want.â
She shakes her head but keeps it down, her eyes glued to the paint on the tray.
âDance with me,â I say again, my tone more commanding this time.
When she doesnât move, I snake my hand around her waist and pull her off the scaffolding. I expect her to fight, but she doesnât. She lets me pull her to her feet, and once I have her in front of me, she stares at me with an emotionless stare. Itâs my favorite expression of hers.
âYouâre mad at me,â I say, twisting her hips in my hand. Her body brushes against mine, and I realize how dangerous this is if I want to keep things the way they should be between us.
No response. Her body moves easily in my hands but only because sheâs letting me.
Sheâs driving me crazy on purpose. With her big eyes trained on the wall behind me and those pouty lips pursed in annoyance, my patience wears thin.
I canât go another fucking second denying this thing between us.
Digging my hands into her hair, I pull her close and whisper, my mouth only inches away from her ear, like a secret. âYouâre mad that I kissed her because you want me to kiss you.â

For years, we never looked at each other like that.
But all it took was one night for everything to change.
Some days, heâs my worst enemy. Other days he's my best friend. Every day, of course, Adam Maxwell is my cocky prick of a boss, and for the past five years, we've been the official power duo at Engelman Sports, closing multi-million dollar contracts like LAâs most well-oiled machine.
Honestly, we thrive on the daily love-hate.
I call out his womanizing. He rags on my âneedyâ fiancé. And we carry right on. Because through thick and thin, our work dynamic has always stayed rock-solid. Fine-tuned to the kind of perfection you couldnât break if you tried.
Or so I thought.
Until one night.
That was all it took to turn our worlds upside down. One weekend business trip and one birthday surprise gone catastrophically wrong. Long story short, Adam caught me exposed.
I felt him aroused...
And just like that the switch flipped on our dynamic.
For five years, Adam Maxwell and I were just friends. But now?
We're anything but.

All it takes is one step back in the Big Apple, and she regrets making the trip. True to character, her mother uses their time together to hound Hope about getting married and settling down.
Still, Hope fulfills her bridesmaid obligations by joining the bridal party for a shamrock wearing, pint chugging St. Paddyâs day blow out. There she runs into best manâand smokinâ hot gingerâKellan Townsend. Far too much green beer later, she finds out exactly what that fine Irish lad keeps under his kilt.
Afterwards, Hope wants nothing more than to walk of shame her way into a dark room and nurse her hangover. Unfortunately, wedding demands wonât allow it. As if facing Kellan isnât awkward enough, her mother picks that moment to launch into a fresh guilt-trip over her lack of grandbabies. Like a lucky little Leprechaun, Kellan cuts in with a magical offer.
A pretend romance to get her mother off her back seems like a wish granted. But Kellan has an agenda all his own. Can he use this opportunity to jig his way straight into Hopeâs heart? Or will he need a four-leaf clover to get past this workaholicâs defenses?

Kellan nods toward the bar. âReady?â He holds out his arm and itâs as if my body moves of its own accord. I take it and he leads me to the bar. âLet me guess, green beer?â
âPlease,â I scoff, waving him off, âitâs St. Patrickâs Day. I want a true Irish-inspired drink.â
The bartender walks over to us. âWhatâll it be you two?â
Kellan looks to me. âLadies first.â
âIâll take an Irish Eyes,â I say. The bartender nods and smiles and then turns to Kellan.
Kellan laughs at me. âIrish whiskey, huh? I think Iâll do the same.â The bartender pours the whiskey in a glass and mixes it with a little cream and green crème de menthe. Kellan holds up his glass and looks in my eyes. âIt actually matches your eyes. But youâre not Irish.â
I shake my head. âNope. Got a lot of German in me though.â
Kellan takes a sip of his drink. âDonât know why this is called Irish Eyes. The most common eye color among Irish is blue.â
Holding up my glass, I clank it against his. âJust like yours.â
His blue eyes twinkle and I avert my gaze to my drink. The way he looks at me makes things stir inside of me and I really donât need my insides to be stirred right now, or even think of it for that matter. I should probably stop drinking.
âSo, tell me,â Kellan calls out, âhow long are you in town for?â
I take a sip of my drink, itâs loaded with Irish whiskey. âOnly till the wedding,â I respond, meeting his gaze again. âAfter that, I have to get back.â
His lips pull back slightly in that sexy grin of his. âSo, not long then. Hate to hear it.â Iâm starting to hate it too. Shaking my head, I try to drive all indecent thoughts out of my mind, but all I can think about is hearing his voice in the dark, whispering in my ear as he touches me. I push the drink aside and Kellan laughs. âToo much for you?â
I rub a hand over my face. The room feels hot, but thatâs probably because Iâm tipsy and heâs making me want things I shouldnât. âActually, I was a little drunk to begin with. I think I need some air.â
Kellan takes my hand. âCome on. Thereâs a private area out back we can sit. Iâll grab you a bottle of water and we can go out there.â
He asks the bartender for a water and hands it to me. We walk out of the private room into the hallway and I guzzle the water as we head toward the door. When Kellan opens it, it leads out onto a balcony that overlooks the river. There are people everywhere and I can hear their chattering, but the cool air feels good on my skin.
âBetter?â Kellan asks.
I nod. âMuch. I just needed some fresh air.â There are two wrought iron chairs and he guides me into one.
âHow much have you had to drink today?â
Groaning, I close my eyes. âWell ⦠I was forced into taking Jell-O shots in the limo. To be honest, Iâm not a huge drinker. Doesnât take much to get me drunk.â Kellan laughs and it makes me smile. Thatâs one of the things I never forgot about him ⦠the way he laughs.
âWhat are you smiling about?â he asks, laughing again.
I turn to face him. âYour laugh. I remember it from a long time ago. You were always so fun to be around. I always thought youâd end up with Hannah one day.â
Smiling, he shakes his head. âNo. I always had my eye on someone else. Didnât work out though.â
âYou mean Bridget?â I ask.
âFuck no,â he blurts out. âThat was over a long time ago.â
His smile fades and I can see a flash of pain in those blue eyes of his. âWhat happened?â
Sighing, he looks off into the distance. âShe did me wrong. Never thought Iâd get hurt, but I did. After she left me for someone else, I just didnât give a shit anymore.â
âIs that when you started growing a beard? In the pictures Hannah and Hallie sent over the years, I thought you were a homeless man.â Thatâs not exactly true. Heâs always been good looking, but I really did hate the long, scraggly beard. Now, he looks sexy with just the stubble.
Kellan chuckles hard. âYou thought I looked homeless? Thatâs messed up, Hope.â
I shrug. âHey, you donât look it now.â I glance down at his green get up. âRight now, you look like a leprechaun.â
He peers down at my green tutu. âAnd you look like a silly fairy.â But then he looks up at me and winks. âA cute one, by the way.â We watch the people walk by on the street and theyâre all having such a grand ole time. Itâs easy to get lost in the appeal. Feels like itâs been forever since Iâve let loose and had fun.
Kellan leans back in his chair. âSo, tell me about yourself. Whatâs changed since the last time I saw you?â
I shrug. âNot much. Got older and left town.â
His brows lift curiously. âDating anyone?â
âNo,â I reply, shaking my head. âI was seeing someone a few months ago, but it didnât work out. We really didnât have anything in common. He was all into trail riding on his bike and I just couldnât get into it. I tried once and broke my wrist.â
Kellan snorts. âAnd did he wear that girly looking spandex shit?â
The thought makes me smile. âYep, but he wasnât very masculine to begin with. Maybe thatâs why I really wasnât attracted to him. Not that I need a man to protect me, but itâd be nice to have someone who could defend my honor if need be.â I roll my eyes. âOkay, I must really be drunk to say crap like that.â
He smirks. âI get it. A woman should feel protected when sheâs with her man.â
The door opens and Stewart steps out. âThere you both are,â he says, looking concerned.
Kellan stands and I do the same. âIs everything okay?â
Stewart sighs. âI think Hallieâs had too much to drink. Sheâs sick so weâre going to head back to the house. The limo should be here in five minutes.â
I nod. âWeâll be there.â
Usually, Iâd want the night to end, but I donât want it to now. Plus, I donât want to go home. My mother will still be awake and all too ready to finish her conversation about how I need to get busy with my life and find a husband. And if I donât, sheâll handle it for me. My goal was to not go home until I knew she was asleep.
âWhatâs wrong?â Kellan asks.
With a heavy sigh, I meet his gaze. âI donât want to go home just yet.â
He shrugs. âThen donât. You can come with me and Iâll take you home later.â
The thought tempts me, but I donât know if itâs a good idea or not. I trust Kellan not to do anything stupid, but the problem is me. Iâm the one I need to worry about.
âAre you sure?â I ask, second guessing myself, but then he opens his lips and talks to me in that sexy Irish brogue.
âCome on, lassie. Itâll be fine.â
How can I say no to that?
