Dare
Glenna Sinclair - 2016
Just because you’re some rich CEO with a fancy name, a slick car, and an unbelievable amount of sex appeal, it doesn’t mean you get to literally run over all of us little people. Sebastian Clementine (what kind of name is that, anyway?) isn’t going to get away with damaging my truck and not paying for it. We’re just a small California farm, after all. We’re trying to keep up in the expanding world of organics, and we can’t really afford to repair our ancient delivery truck. I had to reattach the bumper my own damn self, while the beautiful, well-groomed man responsible doesn’t even look like he’d know how. I don’t know what I was planning to say, crashing into his big, important meeting this way, but by God, he is going to keep his word to me. When his cool, calm gaze meets mine, I suddenly wish I were wearing something nicer than my farm jeans…but I’m not exactly known for holding my tongue, so out it pops: “Hey, asshole, remember me?” Sebastian Well, if it isn’t the fiery Ms. Dare, storming into my office guns a-blazing, calling me out. I was wondering when I might hear from her. Or rather, I was hoping I would hear from her soon. It’s true that our first encounter could have gone better. Smashing into someone’s car isn’t the best way to make a first impression. Our second encounter is off to a rough start as well…but perhaps I can turn it to my advantage. I’m not president of Clementine Organics just because of my good looks, after all. I’m almost glad I pissed her off – she’s so sexy when she’s angry. And that I can definitely work with. Note: This standalone novel includes three other novels for a limited time only! Enjoy :)

Insatiable
Lucy Lambert - 2015
or him. I am NOT like those other women! When Vaughn Ward sets his sights on a woman, she always ends up in his bed - crying out his name that night and cursing it the morning after. The billionaire playboy has an unquenchable thirst for sexual conquests. Not me, though. I am a professional. But as the youngest member of C&M Advertising firm, it's my job to get to know our most important client. To get to know exactly what he wants from us... and how I can provide it. I can resist his charms, his stares, and his flirts. I know his reputation. I won't be another notch on his bedpost. But the longer I spend around him, the more he seems determined to take me. Use me. Consume me. And the more I find out about him, the more I want him too... An excerpt: Vaughn reached, his fingers wrapping around mine. His skin was soft and warm against mine. That warmth made me swallow. I didn’t pull back. We looked out the window a little while longer before his eyes turned to me. They weren’t as clear as I’d first thought. No, there was a storm in them. A storm that threatened to consume him and then me. My mouth went dry. My lips parted slightly. He still didn’t let go of my hand. “Quinn,” he said. “Yes?” “I want you. And I know you want me, too.” “Do you?” I replied. That heat from his hand started spreading through me. I tried telling myself that I did want him, but only on a physical level. Who wouldn’t? But part of being an adult was knowing when to ignore what you wanted. I could tell myself whatever I wanted and it didn’t have any effect. This close, he was magnetic. Little electric tingles kept running across the surface of my skin, awakening all my senses. It was like my body wanted to feel every sensation it could, and to the fullest extent. The past and the future closed off, leaving only the present. The world shrank until only Ward and I occupied it. I wanted to pull my hand out of his, but I didn’t. I didn’t want him to kiss me again, but I did. I wanted that and more. I wanted all of it; I wanted all of him. I took a deep breath, but it didn’t steady me at all. “I do. You know, since we met I don’t think more than a few minutes have gone by without you in my thoughts,” he said. We still didn’t look at each other. We both seemed to know that if we let our eyes meet we wouldn’t be able to stop what happened after. I could look at his reflection safely, though, and I did. “It’s only been a few days,” I said, “You hardly know me. How can you think you want me so much?” “Some things you just know right away,” he replied. His reflected face grinned. “We shouldn’t,” I said, wondering if I was trying to convince him or myself. Maybe both. “Will you try and stop me?” Ward asked, his eyes regarding my reflection. I didn’t reply, because I didn’t know the answer... An additional excerpt from Vaughn's POV is included in the "Look Inside".
