For Samuel Grayson, everything is black or white. As a funeral director, there’s no room for in-between. He’s accustomed to dealing with life and death, though he’s definitely more comfortable with the latter. Especially when it comes to a chaotic, petite, feisty ball of energy. Freedom Rayne. Samuel’s pretty sure her goal is to make his life hell, or so it appears. When Samuel boards a flight to Las Vegas for his sister’s 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 friend’s 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 there….
Hmmm, no, that doesn’t work.
Hey…
Not quite.
Howdy…
Good lord, what am I, a cowboy?
Sup?
Yeesh.
Whatever, let me just get right into it.
I’m Waverly.
There, that wasn’t so hard.
I’m 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, I’m just going to tell you that I’m me. Just me. Waverly.
I am all of those things, but I’m also so much more.
I’m helping a club, a club that needs me to bring peace back into their worlds.
If you had asked me if I’d 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 I’m not.
I’ve got this, though.
That is one thing about me you should know, I won’t let them down.
I won’t crack under the pressure.
I won’t 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 I’m on.
At least, that’s what I first thought.
Until I didn’t.
Now I’m tangled up in a world I can’t even begin to understand.
Now I’m 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?
You’re 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.
“Marry me.†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
“Dance with me, rain cloud.â€
“Don’t call me that,†she mutters.
“I’ll call you what I want.â€
She shakes her head but keeps it down, her eyes glued to the paint on the tray.
“Dance with me,†I say again, my tone more commanding this time.
When she doesn’t move, I snake my hand around her waist and pull her off the scaffolding. I expect her to fight, but she doesn’t. 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. It’s my favorite expression of hers.
“You’re mad at me,†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 she’s letting me.
She’s 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 can’t 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. “You’re 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, he’s 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 LA’s most well-oiled machine.
Honestly, we thrive on the daily love-hate.
I call out his womanizing. He rags on my “needy†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 couldn’t 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.

Kiss the Blarney Stone, Hope Dunn is going to need some good ole fashion Irish luck! In the chaos of tax season the Arizona accountant is pulled away to stand in her cousin’s wedding. 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. Paddy’s day blow out. There she runs into best man—and smokin’ hot ginger—Kellan 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 won’t allow it. As if facing Kellan isn’t 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 Hope’s heart? Or will he need a four-leaf clover to get past this workaholic’s defenses?

Excerpt
Kellan nods toward the bar. “Ready?†He holds out his arm and it’s as if my body moves of its own accord. I take it and he leads me to the bar. “Let me guess, green beer?â€
“Please,†I scoff, waving him off, “it’s St. Patrick’s Day. I want a true Irish-inspired drink.â€
The bartender walks over to us. “What’ll it be you two?â€
Kellan looks to me. “Ladies first.â€
“I’ll take an Irish Eyes,†I say. The bartender nods and smiles and then turns to Kellan.
Kellan laughs at me. “Irish whiskey, huh? I think I’ll do the same.†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. “It actually matches your eyes. But you’re not Irish.â€
I shake my head. “Nope. Got a lot of German in me though.â€
Kellan takes a sip of his drink. “Don’t 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. “Just 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 don’t need my insides to be stirred right now, or even think of it for that matter. I should probably stop drinking.
“So, tell me,†Kellan calls out, “how long are you in town for?â€
I take a sip of my drink, it’s loaded with Irish whiskey. “Only till the wedding,†I respond, meeting his gaze again. “After that, I have to get back.â€
His lips pull back slightly in that sexy grin of his. “So, not long then. Hate to hear it.†I’m 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. “Too much for you?â€
I rub a hand over my face. The room feels hot, but that’s probably because I’m tipsy and he’s making me want things I shouldn’t. “Actually, I was a little drunk to begin with. I think I need some air.â€
Kellan takes my hand. “Come on. There’s a private area out back we can sit. I’ll 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.
“Better?†Kellan asks.
I nod. “Much. I just needed some fresh air.†There are two wrought iron chairs and he guides me into one.
“How much have you had to drink today?â€
Groaning, I close my eyes. “Well … I was forced into taking Jell-O shots in the limo. To be honest, I’m not a huge drinker. Doesn’t take much to get me drunk.†Kellan laughs and it makes me smile. That’s one of the things I never forgot about him … the way he laughs.
“What are you smiling about?†he asks, laughing again.
I turn to face him. “Your laugh. I remember it from a long time ago. You were always so fun to be around. I always thought you’d end up with Hannah one day.â€
Smiling, he shakes his head. “No. I always had my eye on someone else. Didn’t work out though.â€
“You mean Bridget?†I ask.
“Fuck no,†he blurts out. “That was over a long time ago.â€
His smile fades and I can see a flash of pain in those blue eyes of his. “What happened?â€
Sighing, he looks off into the distance. “She did me wrong. Never thought I’d get hurt, but I did. After she left me for someone else, I just didn’t give a shit anymore.â€
“Is that when you started growing a beard? In the pictures Hannah and Hallie sent over the years, I thought you were a homeless man.†That’s not exactly true. He’s always been good looking, but I really did hate the long, scraggly beard. Now, he looks sexy with just the stubble.
Kellan chuckles hard. “You thought I looked homeless? That’s messed up, Hope.â€
I shrug. “Hey, you don’t look it now.†I glance down at his green get up. “Right now, you look like a leprechaun.â€
He peers down at my green tutu. “And you look like a silly fairy.†But then he looks up at me and winks. “A cute one, by the way.†We watch the people walk by on the street and they’re all having such a grand ole time. It’s easy to get lost in the appeal. Feels like it’s been forever since I’ve let loose and had fun.
Kellan leans back in his chair. “So, tell me about yourself. What’s changed since the last time I saw you?â€
I shrug. “Not much. Got older and left town.â€
His brows lift curiously. “Dating anyone?â€
“No,†I reply, shaking my head. “I was seeing someone a few months ago, but it didn’t work out. We really didn’t have anything in common. He was all into trail riding on his bike and I just couldn’t get into it. I tried once and broke my wrist.â€
Kellan snorts. “And did he wear that girly looking spandex shit?â€
The thought makes me smile. “Yep, but he wasn’t very masculine to begin with. Maybe that’s why I really wasn’t attracted to him. Not that I need a man to protect me, but it’d be nice to have someone who could defend my honor if need be.†I roll my eyes. “Okay, I must really be drunk to say crap like that.â€
He smirks. “I get it. A woman should feel protected when she’s with her man.â€
The door opens and Stewart steps out. “There you both are,†he says, looking concerned.
Kellan stands and I do the same. “Is everything okay?â€
Stewart sighs. “I think Hallie’s had too much to drink. She’s sick so we’re going to head back to the house. The limo should be here in five minutes.â€
I nod. “We’ll be there.â€
Usually, I’d want the night to end, but I don’t want it to now. Plus, I don’t 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 don’t, she’ll handle it for me. My goal was to not go home until I knew she was asleep.
“What’s wrong?†Kellan asks.
With a heavy sigh, I meet his gaze. “I don’t want to go home just yet.â€
He shrugs. “Then don’t. You can come with me and I’ll take you home later.â€
The thought tempts me, but I don’t know if it’s a good idea or not. I trust Kellan not to do anything stupid, but the problem is me. I’m the one I need to worry about.
“Are you sure?†I ask, second guessing myself, but then he opens his lips and talks to me in that sexy Irish brogue.
“Come on, lassie. It’ll be fine.â€
How can I say no to that?
