#Excerpt


“Luca,” Shay says, and there is so much disgust in her tone, I’m surprised she didn’t  actually vomit as she spoke. 


I don’t even greet her. I just glare and then turn my focus back to Grace.  

My lips part to say something, but she beats me to it. 

“Wow. Will you two ever grow up?” Grace says. “See you around, Luca.” And then she walks off, leaving me and Shay alone. 

Well … that … was … 

“What the fuck, Shay?” 

“Me?”  

Oh, she’s going to pretend that it wasn’t her arrival to the conversation that lowered  Grace’s opinion of me more than it was before. This is not my fault. 

“Yes, you.” 

“Do not blame me for your lack of manners, Luca.” 

“I have manners, Shay.” 

“Yeah, right, they are just beaming with light right now, Luca.” 

“They were before you showed up, Shay.” 

“Stop saying my name after every sentence, Luca.” 

“You stop.”

“No, you stop.” 

“Oh fuck, we’re proving her point,” I snap and then toss back my beer. 

When I’m finished, I glance at Shay because, to be honest, I’m stunned that she’s still here.  Her eyes are on my throat, but as soon as she senses that I’m watching her, those golden  irises flicker to mine.  

“You’re still coming tonight, right?” 

“I said I would, didn’t I?” 

“Well, yeah, but we can't even be around each other for sixty seconds without fighting.” “Looks like we need to figure it out.” 

I move to walk away, but she reaches out, her slight hand wrapping around my wrist to  stop me. 

A rush of heat flashes through my body. 

I jerk my hand back, my heart racing. 

“Don’t come too early,” she says. Her tone is the one she uses with everyone but me.  Between that and the way my body just reacted to her touch, I’m off balance. Because I’m not sure how to respond maturely, as Grace put it, I lean forward to whisper  in her ear. 

“Now, now, Shay, that’s my line.”

💕Secretly Working Together





Luca Asher is my brother's ex-best friend, the best contractor in our small town of Lovers, a walking dream when he doesn’t have a shirt on—heck, with it on, too, and he was the first boy I ever loved.

He just doesn’t know that last part.

On the rare occasions I converse with him, I get a comeback for everything.

Our banter is my favorite thing. He’s so clever and quick and, again, sexier than any man I’ve ever met.

But none of that changes the fact that he betrayed my brother. My family. Me.

And none of those facts would matter except for my one little problem.

I had this plan to save my family's marina, which backfired. Now, my parents have given me a deadline to prove to them it’s still worth saving. If I don’t make it, they'll sell everything, and I’ll lose my dream to keep the place.

They gave me one rule: do not hire that Asher boy.

At this point, I have only one option left to make this happen.

Hire Luca and beg him not to tell a single soul about it.

My heart forgave him years ago, but my head knows better than to trust the enemy.

And yet, in a matter of weeks, he starts to remind me of the old us, and I find myself falling for him all over again.

The idea of me and Luca is … tempting.

Tempting Me is a small-town, steamy, enemies to lovers romance with his ex-best friend's sister, lots of banter, and a secret agreement.


REVIEW: TEMPTING ME (THE ARCHER FAMILY) BY JAMI ROGERS

Tempting Me (The Asher Family #3)
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sweet serendipity can be as overwhelming as sensual delight. Tempting Me slow burns it's way into the soul with deep emotion, irresistible characters and unforgettable romance. Rogers proves that less can deliver so much more. From heartache to happily ever after is exquisitely captivating.

Sometimes the temptation is too much to deny.

Falling into bed with my best friend’s brother was an accident.

What happened right after… not so much.

With abs more defined than the Texas Hill Country and a killer smirk I can’t ignore, the “boy next door” is all grown up and too hot for his own good.

My heart races for a man who’s forbidden.

My breath catches each time his hand brushes against mine.

His heated glances melt me, leading me closer to temptation.

One night together has us desperate for more. But we have no desire to give this small town something to talk about—or worse, upset his sister.

But when a new tyrant of a landlord threatens my family’s business, I need a miracle.

Call it a marriage of convenience or a friendly favor, but he comes through for me. The diamond ring on my finger gets me out of a jam but also has us confronting our feelings.

Did I just make a deal with the devil? Or am I actually falling in love with my fake husband?

New York Times bestselling author, S.L. Scott, brings readers her newest sharp-witted, great banter filled ranch romance. With characters causing quite the stir in their small town of Peachtree Pass, readers are going to fall in love with not only this setting but along with the characters in this coming home story.

Midnight Between Us by Claudia Burgoa releases on July 30th!


Available on All Platforms until Release - Then Available in Kindle Unlimited




USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa brings you a hauntingly-tender, slow-burn romance full of broken promises, buried secrets, and a love that always endures.

I thought I buried him with the rest of my past. The secrets. The ache. The night everything fell apart.
But now Keir Timberbridge—the traitor, the boy I once loved more than life—is back. Barely alive. In my care. With no memory of who I am or what he did to me.

I should walk away. Hell, I tried. But I’m the only one who can keep him hidden, keep him alive.
This town still thinks I’m the girl who let him go. No one knows the truth—about the letters or what it cost me to survive.

Now we’re playing house in the ruins of what we once were: me, a doctor with too many scars, and him, the man who vanished without a goodbye. We sleep in separate rooms. Share meals like strangers. And every time I look at him, I remember the boy who made promises at midnight... and the man who shattered them by morning.

Because loving Keir Timberbridge was always going to destroy me.

And I might let it again.
