Who’s the mystery woman who just walked into my brewery? I’m not the only one from my Alaskan small town asking themselves that question. But I’m positive, I’m the only one in Sunrise Bay undressing the pretty blonde in my head. Everything about her, from her make-up to her high heels says she’s a fish out of water. Whispers and speculations run rampant until the secret of who she is gets uncovered. Then the rumor mill goes into overdrive when she announces she’s staying to open a bookstore in the building next to mine—throwing a big wrench into my plans to buy that empty building. I quickly find myself in a tug-of-war since my business partner/brother is upset she’s ruined the opportunity to expand our business. I try to keep my distance, but I’ve got one sister with a gossip column on the local radio station and two meddling grandmas setting me up as a tour director. And now I kind of like the idea of our new neighbor staying. But small-town life isn’t for the weak—time will tell if she has what it takes to be one of us.

Excerpt:“Are you a doctor?” she counters, but she lets me inspect her injury.“I’m the doctor in the room,” I tease.I ask where it hurts, and she points to her wrist, frowning. I run a thumb gently along that tender spot, that tantalizing place that can drive a woman wild.If you touch her just right.Which it seems I am doing, since Scarlett’s breath hitches.“Daniel,” she whispers, her voice perhaps betraying her. “I’m fine. I swear I’m fine.”I tuck my finger under her chin, lift it, and meet her gaze. “Are you sure?”She nods, her eyes a little glossy. “I swear I am.”“Let’s be certain.”I lift her wrist to my face, my eyes on hers. Waiting for a sign. Waiting for more.“Yes, please.”So I bring her wrist to my lips and press a kiss to my business partner’s skin.She lets out a low moan.A groan works its way up my chest, and I swallow it down as I dust my lips over her pulse point.I close my eyes, inhaling her, savoring the scent of her skin, of her lotion, of her Scarlett-ness.I should move away. But she’s right here.Images of last night’s fantasies flicker before me, along with the moment just now in front of the mirror, and how she looked at the reflection of her and me.I open my eyes.She nibbles on the corner of her lips, gazing down a me as I look up at her.Is she thinking the same thing I am?One kiss.One taste.That’s all.I tamp down the groan in my throat as I breathe in.Then, I take the next step.I stand, gently take her uninjured hand, and carefully tug her up.I reach toward her hair, tucking an errant strand behind her ear, testing to see if she’ll make that sound again.That gasp. That hitch of her breath.She does. It’s sensual and erotic, and it goes straight to my cock.I do the one thing I’ve thought about doing for the last few years. The thing I’ve prided myself on resisting. I move closer, lean in, and press a kiss to her cheek.It’s the same type of kiss I’ve given her every time we greet each other. But this time, I linger. I don’t back away. I simply brush my lips across her cheek and whisper, “All better now?”

“The perfect, irresistible romantic comedy!" --Erin Nicholas, New York Times bestselling author
Halftime Husband, an all-new hot boss rom com standalone from New York Times bestselling author Erin McCarthy is available now!
Running into a man once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. Three times makes it fate... right?
Unless he is now your grumpy boss who holds the future of your fading dance career in his hands. And you hooked up with him when he was just a mysterious stranger rescuing you…
My life is a hot mess. I’m Dakota Tanner and I speak before I think, I spend before I earn, and I live totally in the moment. Which is why I’m down and out in need of a major life makeover. Cue the hot guy who has it all together and makes my toes curl in bed. Who then disappears before I wake up. When he reappears five months later as head coach of a pro football team he wants a secret romance (aka a no-one-can-ever-know bangfest) while I’m a nanny for his wild-child daughters.
I should say no. But he just might be my one true love … or my biggest mistake yet.

Excerpt
The plan had a flaw.
I hadn’t counted on someone being right at the bottom of the railing, pressed against it, holding a drink.
There was no way to stop myself. I tried, attempting to jump off the railing, but my timing was off. I was going too fast, and before I could maneuver, I just plowed into the back of him. As if he had sensed movement behind him, he turned exactly at the moment of collision. My center of gravity was off and I was falling head down.
I took an elbow to the chin.
And a martini in the face.
Vodka went into my mouth. Not bad.
Vodka went up my nose. Not great.
Vodka went in my eye. That freaking sucked. “Ow!”
I grabbed the guy around the midsection and tried to find my feet. My eyes were closed against the blinding, stinging liquid. Damn it. It was a dirty martini. Olive juice on top of vodka really was a bad combination. In my eye, anyway. I licked it off my lips.
“Are you okay?”
I couldn’t see shit, eyes watering viciously and still primarily closed, but I managed to right myself to a standing position. “I think so.”
Except for the fact that a giant manhand was on my face, attempting to wipe away the spilled drink. It almost made me lose my balance all over again.
I took a step back to escape the swiping.
“Dakota?”
The man knew my name. Thank God. That would be way less embarrassing than running into a total stranger. Unless it was the landlord because I owed him two hundred bucks. I wasn’t sure I was ever going to know because my eyes were still stinging and I had zero visibility. But I used my knuckle and dried my tears.
My words died when I realized who this guy was.
It was him.
Brandon.
The man who had helped me escape my surprise wedding and taken me ice-skating at Rockefeller Center.
Standing there in a navy button-up shirt over tight black jeans that showed off his muscular build. Looking big and broad and sexy as hell. His eyes were wide in recognition.
“Dakota,” he murmured again, this time without question.
His tone was so pleased, so sensual, so intimate, like we had shared something more than one hot kiss under the mistletoe, that I nearly had an orgasm listening to him.
“It’s you,” I said, because I’ve always wanted to say that. They do it in movies all the time, and never, ever, in real life is there an opportunity to say something as dramatic as “it’s you.” But this was my chance and I took it.
I had been absolutely sure I would never see this man again and yet, here he was standing in front of me.
My thoughts: I adore this book! Erin wrote a story that had me lost in this world. Dakota was a fantastic heroine and Brandon was a great hero for her. I haven't read any other books in this series, but this book stands alone. This story did make me want to go read the other books in this series. It was a great story.

A week-long trip. A fake marriage. And
seven delicious nights with only one bed in the hotel room.
Dive in and lose yourself in this all-new
sexy, fake marriage standalone romance filled with emotional twists and turns
from #1 New York Times Bestselling author, Lauren Blakely! Get ready to
fall in love with a charming on the outside, broody on the inside billionaire
Brit, who has secrets a mile deep and the beautiful, vivacious business partner
he’s not supposed to fall for in this witty and sinful forbidden romance!
A week-long trip. A fake marriage. And
seven delicious nights with only one bed in the hotel room.
He's my business partner, my good friend, and the man I've
craved for years.
But I've resisted the sexy Brit, and I plan to keep up my
walls because I've been there, done that, and I know how much it hurts when you
let someone into your heart.
Then an opportunity comes along for us to snag the
business deal of a lifetime.
The catch?
We need to pretend we're married to pull off this
high-stakes deal.
So the clever, charming man with secrets a mile deep
becomes my temporary husband, as we travel around Europe. Soon, we fall into
bed, tangled together like newlyweds who can't keep their hands off each other.
One week to explore our fantasies, then we return to who
we were.
But when I learn the dark secrets he's been keeping, I
doubt we can go back.
His eyes
narrow, flickering with naughty intent. “I don’t think you really want me to be
quick.”
Heat flares
across my skin at his sexy subtext, but I do my best to ignore it. “Is
everything innuendo with you?”
“Life is
innuendo. Of course everything is too. Now, let’s make sure I look the part of
the impeccable hotelier wooing the town historical society with our plans to
renovate the inn on the corner.”
In the store,
the man is the model of efficiency. He’s incredibly fast, but that doesn’t
surprise me. He’s a determined guy who makes quick decisions, and usually the
right ones.
He finds a
white shirt with thin blue checks, then tips his forehead to the back of the
shop. “I’ll go try on this one.”
“Great. I’ll
wait outside and answer some messages.”
He jerks his
head back. “You’ll do nothing of the sort. You’ll wait outside the dressing
room and tell me how the shirt looks.”
I arch a brow,
laughing. “Like we’re a married couple?”
“Yes. Pretend,
Scarlett,” he says in that husky tone again as we weave our way to the dressing
rooms. “Pretend you care deeply what your husband is wearing to the dinner
meeting.”
“Fine. If you
insist,” I saw with a huff.
“I do insist.”
“Don’t you
just love giving orders?”
He wiggles his
brow as he opens the dressing room door, tossing me a wry look. “Yes. Yes, I
do,” he says in a voice that drips with sex.
Daniel Stewart
is the living, breathing manifestation of sex appeal. I’ve learned to live with
his hotness. What else can I do? I work with him.
