Breaking His Rules

Breaking His Rules by Layla Hagen

Grant I built my global security empire from nothing. Control and discipline are the only rules I live by. Some might call me 'intense'. I prefer 'meticulously prepared for every disaster imaginable.' Growing up in a group home with my two brothers taught me the only lesson that mattered: never let anyone close enough to hurt you. As a CEO, I don't improvise. I plan. I command. When I'm hired to provide security for an engagement party, I expect an easy job. Instead, I meet a woman who treats my rules like optional suggestions. I'm used to being obeyed. Ruby clearly doesn't plan on doing that. Not even a little. She tempts me like no one else ever has. Whenever we're together, my thoughts drift in dangerous directions. Wanting her becomes an obsession. I want to give her everything. But surrendering control means breaking my own rules. And I've never done that before. Ruby I love my restaurant, my life, and finding the bright side of just about everything. Hosting my best friend's engagement party? Easy. Fun. Right up my alley. What I'm not prepared for is Grant Clifford—and his many, many rules. He's a fine specimen of a man. Unfortunately, he also comes with a massive stick lodged firmly up his gorgeous behind. Under that perfectly tailored suit is a man who desperately needs to loosen up. Preferably with me. The closer I get, the more clearly I see the scars beneath his rigid exterior. And I want to heal them all. But how do I reach a man who refuses to let anyone in?

I just have to get through the funeral and then it's a whole month of relaxing on the beach with my oldest friends. But of course, nothing ever goes according to plan.

Meet Me at the Lake by Carley Fortune

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ∙ A random connection sends two strangers on a daylong adventure where they make a promise one keeps and the other breaks, with life-changing effects, in this breathtaking novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After. Fern Brookbanks has wasted far too much of her adult life thinking about Will Baxter. She spent just twenty-four hours in her early twenties with the aggravatingly attractive, idealistic artist, a chance encounter that spiraled into a daylong adventure in the city. The timing was wrong, but their connection was undeniable: they shared every secret, every dream, and made a pact to meet one year later. Fern showed up. Will didn’t. At thirty-two, Fern’s life doesn’t look at all how she once imagined it would. Instead of living in the city, Fern’s back home, running her mother’s lakeside resort—something she vowed never to do. The place is in disarray, her ex-boyfriend’s the manager, and Fern doesn’t know where to begin. She needs a plan—a lifeline. To her surprise, it comes in the form of Will, who arrives nine years too late, with a suitcase in tow and an offer to help on his lips. Will may be the only person who understands what Fern’s going through. But how could she possibly trust this expensive-suit wearing mirage who seems nothing like the young man she met all those years ago. Will is hiding something, and Fern’s not sure she wants to know what it is. But ten years ago, Will Baxter rescued Fern. Can she do the same for him?

The Things We Leave Unfinished - Rebecca Yarros Cover Art

The Things We Leave Unfinished

The Things We Leave Unfinished by Rebecca Yarros

Told in alternating timelines, THE THINGS WE LEAVE UNFINISHED examines the risks we take for love, the scars too deep to heal, and the endings we can’t bring ourselves to see coming. Twenty-eight-year-old Georgia Stanton has to start over after she gave up almost everything in a brutal divorce—the New York house, the friends, and her pride. Now back home at her late great-grandmother’s estate in Colorado, she finds herself face-to-face with Noah Harrison, the bestselling author of a million books where the cover is always people nearly kissing. He’s just as arrogant in person as in interviews, and she’ll be damned if the good-looking writer of love stories thinks he’s the one to finish her grandmother’s final novel…even if the publisher swears he’s the perfect fit. Noah is at the pinnacle of his career. With book and movie deals galore, there isn’t much the “golden boy” of modern fiction hasn’t accomplished. But he can’t walk away from what might be the best book of the century—the one his idol, Scarlett Stanton, left unfinished. Coming up with a fitting ending for the legendary author is one thing, but dealing with her beautiful, stubborn, cynical great-granddaughter, Georgia, is quite another. But as they read Scarlett’s words in both the manuscript and her box of letters, they start to realize why Scarlett never finished the book—it’s based on her real-life romance with a World War II pilot, and the ending isn’t a happy one. Georgia knows all too well that love never works out, and while the chemistry and connection between her and Noah is undeniable, she’s as determined as ever to learn from her great-grandmother’s mistakes—even if it means destroying Noah’s career.

Does redemption flow in small towns like Three Rivers? I spent a decade in prison for a crime I didn’t commit. Before I was released on parole, I was part of a work-release program in a little town in Michigan called Three Rivers. So, when I’m finally paroled, there’s nowhere else I want to be but here in Three Rivers, rebuilding my life from scratch. I expect life to be hard; it always has been, for me. What I don’t expect? Noelle Harper. Short, curvy, gorgeous, and way too sweet and innocent for the likes of me. She's full of light, love, understanding, compassion, and affection—things I know nothing about. I don’t expect her to crash into the new life I’m building, turn everything upside down, and see things in me I’ve never seen in myself. I don’t expect her to save me. To see beyond my past and show me how to reach for more—how to love. * * * My life has not gone the way I thought it would. I’m a small-town girl next door, Three Rivers born and raised. I’m a good girl from a conservative home—I didn’t  date  my high school sweetheart, I  courted  him…with chaperones. I didn’t so much as hold his hand until we married right out of high school. I expected to be a pastor’s wife, a mom, and a member of the only community I’ve ever known. I expected my life to be simple and predictable. What I don’t expect? To discover that my husband was cheating on me with not one, not two, but three church skanks, while acting like my eager desire for a healthy marital sex life was something I should be ashamed of. I don’t expect a man like Bear. A veritable mountain of a man with an unlikely name, long red hair, and a giant red beard. A man with a criminal record. A man who sees a side of me no one, not my family, and certainly not my husband ever saw. A man who brings the real Noelle Harper to life. I never expected to fall in love with a gigantic, quiet, rough-around-the-edges man with a gentle spirit and a misunderstood past. But in Three Rivers, the unexpected seems to travel faster than the town gossip.

He gives me a night I’ll never forget, a taste of what is possible, and I want more. With him.

Alpha Dom. Brother’s Best Friend. Protector. To keep her, he must reveal the man behind the mask. Manhattan fashion designer Leslie Duke has been captivated by her older brother’s best friend for years. Alex Samuels is beautiful, honorable, and controlled with a reputation for dark sexual tastes that makes her heart race and her imagination spiral. A former special ops soldier, Alex is trained to eliminate threats—not surrender control. He’s hiding a terrible secret, one that means danger will follow him to the grave. To protect Leslie, he keeps pushing her away. Until the day he can’t. When Alex runs into Leslie at a sex club, he refuses to stand by and let her explore that world alone. He knows kink. He knows control. And he knows exactly how dangerous it could be for someone as innocent—and tempting—as Leslie. She’s his to protect. And his to teach. What begins as a strictly bounded friends-with-benefits arrangement quickly turns into something neither of them planned. As their physical connection deepens into something far more emotional, a sinister presence from Alex’s past closes in. When the darkness finally strikes, will Alex sacrifice their love to keep Leslie safe? Or will he confront his demons—and claim the future he never believed he deserved? A sexy, emotionally charged romance about dominance, protection, and confronting the darkness to claim love. *** About the Filthy Rich Men of Manhattan Series Filthy Rich Men of Manhattan delivers high-heat contemporary romances set among wealth, power, and ambition in New York City.
