A hot new standalone in the series that's been called "A total, utter must read." - Book Fanatic Hello, rock? Meet hard place. Recovering from a pulled groin muscle isn’t exactly how I planned to spend my much-needed summer vacation. But I’ll admit, being nursed back to health by my gorgeous friend Bailey, who’s just graduated from medical school, doesn’t exactly sound like a hardship. We spend a week together at my family’s beach house, a week of swimming and barbecues, a week of entertaining my little cousins and sleeping right across the hall from each other. A week of watching Bailey grow closer with my mom and sisters, and my wacky but lovable grandma. A week of enjoying Bailey tending to me—which is saying something, because it involves a lot of shoving ice packs into my underwear and taping up sore muscles. She’s funny and kind, and after just being myself for the first time in a long time, I find my walls come tumbling down. But when Bailey says she’s not looking for a relationship, I’m bound and determined to be more than just the fun hookup who sprained his groin a second time—this time with her. Your favorite hot jocks are back with an all-new standalone novel. If you like sexy, confident men who know how to handle a stick (on and off the ice), and smart women who are strong enough to keep all those big egos in check, this series is for you! (Books can be enjoyed in any order.)

What I feel for you? It's not healthy. It's an obsession. From the author of the #1 Amazon bestseller Pretend You're Mine , Lucy Score once again delivers an unforgettable, suspenseful love story with the first novel in the Sinner & Saint duet. Rule-bound Xavier Saint has seen it all from the battlefield to the behind-the-scenes business of protecting Hollywood's elite. His private security firm is the best in the country, but he's sick of protecting vapid starlets from themselves. Which is exactly what he thinks he's getting into with Waverly Sinner, a second generation screen goddess. But she's not just another celebrity on self-destruct. Waverly Sinner has everything she never wanted. Parts she doesn't want to play, dangerously manipulative parents, and a public life devoid of any kind of privacy. She hides the panic attacks and the pain behind a movie-star smile and plots her escape from the life she never chose. Until the sinfully sexy Xavier shows up to slam the door shut on her own private prison. While sparks fly and their battle of wills heats up, a new threat materializes. Someone has been watching her, worshipping her, for years and he's about to make his very public, very deadly move. Can Xavier stand between her and danger, or will his feelings for Waverly dull his instincts and endanger them both? Author's Note: This is the first novel in a two-book series. The stories take place five years apart so my astute readers can guess that this one doesn't have the happily ever after we all love. But I promise, I more than make up for it with the conclusion of Xavier and Waverly's story in Breaking the Rules.
