Perfectly Curvy for Him: An Older Alpha Biker & Younger BBW Romance


Paige Ryland - 2019
    Young heroine. Alpha Male. HEA Excerpt: RYKKER I'd seen her before she entered the bar. She seemed hesitant, just staring at the place, as if she were unsure if she should come inside or keep driving. A bar in a strip mall is hardly all that appealing to a pretty young woman like her, I suppose. But I guess she needed a drink damned bad, though, because she finally headed in. As she walked up, I noticed her eyes were a deep blue but troubled to the point of almost being a cool gray. Her light brown hair, straight with light streaks from being in the sun, lay against her smooth, sexy shoulders almost touching her ample and damned unmissable cleavage. She's short, much shorter than my six-two, her body a series of curves that a man could get lost in, her dress hugs her flared hips and is well above her cute knees, showing off her creamy dreamy thighs. She walks like she would like to be grinding someone under her heel. I'm glad I'm not him because, from the looks of her, she's a woman who doesn't take any shit off of anyone. And she's headed my way... Previously published as NOT With My Best Friend
