She had decided to sell her successful boutique in fast-paced San Francisco and move out to manage her great uncle’s general store in small town Wyoming. But the quiet life wasn’t quiet for long. As Claire faces up to stubborn locals, a disorganized store, and her family’s century-old property feud with the Havertys, her plate is full once again. And then there’s Riley and Chance. Both are so attentive to her, and both are so bonded to each other. But Chance is a Haverty and Riley is her best friend. On paper, these boundaries shouldn’t be crossed, but her heart and her body keep telling her otherwise.

Fire Down Below


Debra Anastasia - 2015
    When she has to fill a delicate, embarrassing prescription the last thing she needs is a sexy-as-hell (and brand spanking new) pharmacist behind the counter. Johnson Fitzwell’s first day of his dream career also happens to coincide with the exact moment Dove needs her feminine meds filled. His glorious voice is way too loud–as in, he should be counting down the hits with Ryan Seacrest kind of loud. Thanks to Johnson’s handsome face and gorgeous jaw line, Dove dives headlong into her waking nightmare and asks for a vagina-scented cream. How could she not fall for him? Dove's only active goal now is to get Johnson to kiss her right on the lips. Either set. However, his horrible girlfriend is one of many obstacles preventing her from making that fantasy a reality. When Dove defends Johnson in the most unhygienic, unconventionally gross way in the middle of a crowded restaurant, their tender, slightly tantric relationship is off to a galloping, farting start. Each print copy of this book will be dipped in holy water by my mom, and glared at by my father as he purses his lips. Neither will help. So, drop your pants and turn to the left and cough. I hope you're not allergic to latex, because it’s time to fill your prescription. Anally.
