​She was just supposed to be another beautiful woman I spent one night with, but once I had a taste of her, I couldn’t stay away…

Lila Stone is too good for a broken man like me.
I knew it the moment I smiled at her and blew her that kiss through the window at the party.
Yet somehow, this wounded rancher managed to convince her to come to bed with him.
And that’s all it was supposed to be.
One night of bliss…
No different from the ones I’ve spent with lots of women over the years trying to put my past behind me.
Only Lila isn’t the kind of woman you can forget.
She buried her way into my soul so deeply, I never want her to leave.
Despite the physical distance between us and a secret that may tear us apart…
I’m determined to make her mine and keep her that way.
To let this be my second chance at love.
But will the truth be able to heal old scars, or will it only serve to tear them wide open again?

​They say librarians are old-fashioned. I’m anything but.
As a 23-year-old woman I have my whole life ahead of me, and I’m in no rush to settle down.
But my favorite patron of the Golden Creek Library has a different opinion … and at 72, Charles McArthur is hard to argue with.
He wants to set me up with his grandson and I don’t have the heart to say no.

When my date comes to my door, I am oh-so-glad I said yes.
Chuck McArthur is a tall, dark, and handsome man who happens to love books as much as I do. He calls me Cookie, just like his gramps, and I’m more than eager for him to have a taste. Luckily for me, he likes a woman with some curves, and lucky for him, his dirty talk is quickly becoming my favorite sound.
Best part? Chuck and I want the exact same thing: a no strings attached relationship

But when tragedy strikes, everything changes.
I may like it when he talks wordy to me … but maybe I need more than talk. Maybe I need forever.
