In two years we've never once run out of things to talk about. But, as they say: opposites and mystery attract, right? He seems to agree, because when I drunkenly suggest we add certain 'benefits' to our friendship, he reacts with complete shock. Best to stuff those confusing emotions back in the closet where they belong. When I find out he's started dating again, I know for sure that I've missed my chance.

Jill might be the woman of my dreams and my soul mate, but that's just it. A hopeless dream which could never come true. Or can it? Best Friends Forever is a steamy body-positive friends-to-lovers romance featuring a cute, shy teddy bear of a plus-sized hero and an independent heroine who loves him exactly for who he is. They just don't realize it yet...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Sammi The darling little sister of the Demon Squad MC, Sammi loved everything about growing up in the club, including her infuriating older brother Puck. She'd do anything for Puck. After he gets arrested, she marches into the courtroom to give him a piece of her mind and marches out with the prosecutor's full attention. Stanton Recently clean and sober, prosecutor Stanton Prescott is focused on two things: working his caseload and making his very unprivate life, well…private. But when a sassy woman interrupts one of his cases to give the defendant a dressing down, she’s a temptation he can’t resist. Stanton tracks Sammi down and makes her a proposal – be her sugar daddy in exchange for a taste of her luscious body. After a month in rehab, Stanton’s active imagination is dying to be set loose. He counts on her to agree, in exchange for getting Puck out of prison. What he doesn’t expect is for Sammi to see past his sophisticated mask. She not only sees him, but revels in the demanding beast within. Together the pair battle angry exes, suspicious bikers, and other shadowy figures. Will their unlikely love survive the sins of Stanton's past? Puck’s Property (Book 5) A lonely social worker. A biker behind bars. Can their red-hot passion set them free? Ava What if your first love was your one true love? Eight years ago, Puck broke Ava's heart. She picked up the pieces, patched them together, and kept going. Yet she never forgot him. When Puck sauntered through her office, she was shocked to find a brawny, tatted-up biker dressed in an orange jumpsuit with the word INMATE stamped on the back. Puck What if you rediscover the passion you carelessly threw away in your youth? For Puck, the only good thing about his trip to the jailhouse social worker was finding Ava again. All grown up, she looked luscious, and he bet she tasted even better. Breaking up seemed like the right thing to do at the time, but no other woman could replace Ava. Fate brought them together again and Puck wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. Ava was his property and he’d bring her to heel—no matter what it took. If that included a little blackmail, so be it. A biker never won by playing fair. But what happens in jail doesn't always stay in jail when dark forces conspire to divert destiny and tear these lovers apart. Will their love survive a second trial? Whistle’s War (Book 6) A Mafia princess on the run. A Bratva prince turned biker. Will their love start a war? Tasa On the run from an arranged marriage, Tasa thought she’d found the perfect hide-out. After all, her eldest brother and head of her mafia family would never think to search for her in a club full of rough bikers. With her newfound freedom, the first thing on Tasa’s bucket list is to lose her virginity. The perfect specimen comes in the shape of a sexy biker with coal black hair and stunning turquoise eyes. It was just her rotten luck to have chosen a man with a possessive streak a mile wide. Whistle After escaping from his Russian Bratva family, Whistle became the resident fuck-up of the Demon Squad MC. For years, he’s tested his brothers’ loyalty with his drunken antics and brawls. Finally ready to grow up, he’s taking over the Squad Bar. What he doesn’t expect is to meet their newest waitress and her sultry curves. As a former denizen of the shadowy mafia underworld, he knows that virgins like her came with rules. Rule number one: If you break her, you keep her. Whistle is more than ready to do right by Tasa, if only she played by the rules and did what she was told. Instead, the little wild cat battles him tooth and nail for her hard-fought independence. But as her brother zeroes in on her, what starts out as a fight for her love turns into a war to protect her. Will Tasa stop and stand by the man she loves or will she keep on running? Content Notes: Fans of Jean St. James, Jessa Aarons, and Aria Ray will love Stanton, Puck, and Whistle, over-the-top, possessive anti-heros. Please do not read if such material offends.

When Honoria shows up at his door, his tenuous control comes close to snapping. She's so...innocent. He doesn't see her backbone of steel—or that she could be the very salvation he's been seeking.
