I just never in my wildest, hate-fueled fantasies expected Noah’s attack to involve his lips on mine. It was a mistake, no question. But apparently I still have some things to figure out about myself.

I certainly don’t need to be giving him riding lessons or appreciating the meals he cooks for the ranch.

The first time I see Brody “Blink” Martin in the locker room, I fall hard. Big blue eyes, ripped abs…let’s just say there’s a reason the position is called tight end.

He's a golden retriever with a billion-dollar bank account. Sebastian is a brilliant, thoughtful boss who's also too sexy for words.
