Say You Want It
Jenika Snow - 2018
But to me, this wasn’t just some office cleaning position. I’d be working for Zane, the one man I’d loved for longer than I even wanted to admit. The one person who could make me weak in the knees with just a glance. My father’s friend who was far too old for me, but sexier than sin. Zane I hired Piper to keep her close, to help appease my need for her. But I played it off like I was helping her earn some money before starting college. I was too old for her. She was too innocent for me. She was my friend’s daughter. Off limits. But I’d wanted her since she turned legal last summer. I saw the way she watched me, the way she bit her lip, the fact that her pulse jumped at the base of her throat when I was near. Did she know how obsessed I was with her, how I’d go to any means to keep other men away from her? I could see how much she wanted me and that was dangerous. Because her need for me made me territorial, desperate. Everything I was, everything I had, belonged to Piper. All she had to do was ask and it was hers. Warning: If you like possessive, territorial, and obsessed men in your short stories, this insta-love one is just for you. With an older celibate hero, an innocent virgin heroine, and all the gooey juiciness you love in romance, make sure you have something cold to drink as you read this one.
Caveman
Jo Raven - 2017
Hot single daddy. Arrogant. Rude. Older. My boss. Totally off limits... right? Matthew Hansen is the kind of handsome that has grown women whispering behind their hands and giggling like schoolgirls. Dark, tall and mysterious, he’s a newcomer to our little town. He’s a gritty, grease-covered mechanic, and a single daddy. Sweet, right? Plus, he’s looking for a nanny – and I am desperately looking for a job. Sounds like the perfect deal. Only he’s a jerk. An uncivilized, hulking brute. Zero manners. Zero interest in making me feel welcome in his home. Downright rude. But oh, so sexy. And I need the job. I can do this. One thing is for sure: I can’t fall for the Caveman. No matter how sexy he is. How mysterious. How tortured. That’s the only rule – and one I’m about to break. ***This is a standalone, full-length romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger or cheating. For a limited time, I have included ZANE, a standalone novel, and MICAH, a standalone long novella, as bonus. ***(Librarian Note: This story is loosely connected (as a sort of sequel) to Zane (Inked Brotherhood, #3).)
