Kept
Vivian Lux - 2017
When he left me, I didn't let him see me cry. But I still hate his guts. Eight years hasn't changed that. I hate his cocky smirk, with that deep dimple on his cheek he thinks is so charming. And I hate the way my body still melts at the thought of him. Now he's back in Reckless Falls. Flirting with me, charming me, driving me wild. I still hate him. I still want him. Nothing has changed... Has he? Author's Note: This is a quick, sweet and steamy novella set in Reckless Falls. No cliffhangers and a guaranteed HEA! Please Note: This story previously appeared in the Bad Boys Under the Mistletoe collection, where it was titled By The Fire. If you own that collection, you have already read most of this story, but I have rewritten it for re-release with a brand new prologue and epilogue.

She’s young, smart, tempting, and her slightest movement sends my pulse racing. I want to own her—claim her. I always get what I want. I should tell her to get lost before the interview begins. There’s only one problem… She’s my daughter’s best friend.

Jake Isaac left Texas quite a few years ago; his heart torn from his chest, and his mind set on being a bachelor forever. Maine would welcome him, give him land to explore and a community to belong to. Getting a job as the coach of the local junior high and serving on the fire department kept him busy — and labeled him a hometown hero — but the truth of his damaged heart was forever hidden. No one would ever know just how jaded he was about love. That is… until he meets Kari.
