When Molly meets her intimidating new boss, Beatrice, she’s judged by her last name and fancy connections—not her talent. But Molly’s no pushover. She loves her job with the Washington Wolves and won’t let anyone doubt her. A powerful project with Amazon lands in her lap, and now, she must prove she’s more than just a pretty face.
“How dark?” He chuckled. “No one will see anything, princess. You can sit right over my lap,” he whispered against the edge of my lips. “That sounds very, very illegal,” I said, all breathy and quiet. “But I could be persuaded.” Bauer kissed the edge of my lips, just a tease of what he was…
“Know what?” Belle licked my chin with her sandpaper tongue, and I laughed. “My number one favorite Disney princess.” His eyes twinkled mischievously. “Why do you think I started calling you that?” He took my mouth in a slow sweet kiss, and when we pulled back, I felt the eyes on us. “Should we go…
Snoqualmie was a perfect compromise. I had a mountain to keep me busy, and I’d be less than thirty miles away from Claire. Closer was definitely better. I couldn’t believe how much I missed her during the week when we were apart. I wanted to be able to grab lunch with her on a Tuesday.…
I snorted into my beer. “Not a fan of football?” he asked. Instead of turning fully to see if his face was as hot as his voice and hands and forearms, I kept my eyes forward, just like he seemed to be doing. “Football, yes,” I said. “The real one.” He whistled at the jab.…
Lia rolled her eyes. “It’s a sundress, calm down.” Tugging at the hem, I gave her a mild look. “Says the girl wearing jeans.” She ignored me, and I conceded the fact that she’d gotten me here, and the fact that I was showered and shaved and wearing something that made me feel pretty was…
The only thing that could’ve tugged my attention away from Bauer was my sister hustling to my side with a devious grin on her face. “You little sneak,” I murmured. “Guess who’s happy about wearing a dress now?” “You did this?” Lia shrugged. “I kinda owed you. Finn helped.” I gave her a quick squeeze.…
Her face collapsed. “I swear I didn’t.” “I know you keep saying that,” I cried. I shoved my book aside. “But this is the first time I’ve had something that was just mine, and yes, I should’ve told him, and I would’ve eventually, but it was mine to tell him. Not yours.” “I know.” She…
“I know what will cheer you up,” she said. “Alcohol and a week at the beach?” “No.” She laughed. “I think you should go somewhere with me this weekend.” I sat up with a sigh. “Where?” Lia was quiet for a second. “Adele and Tom are doing a big celebration party at the center on…
“I don’t have any problems, except that I left half my leg on the road.” Whistling under his breath, Scotty folded his arms and gave me that stare that I hated so much. It was a stare he reserved for moments when he thought I was being unnecessarily stubborn, when I wouldn’t work on a…
The sound of her name on his lips lit my skin with suppressed rage, feelings that I’d tried to smother all damn week about her. “If you want to escape this impromptu visit without a black eye, how about you not tell me things like that.” Finn cocked his head. “I only know what Lia…
