Forbidden on Fruit Street

Violet I never meant to lie to my parents about my job-I only wanted to make them proud. So when Dad asks me to return to New York to manage the renovation of a townhouse he owns, I can't say no, even though I'm in way over my head. But the real challenge comes in the form of Kyle, the gruff and ruggedly-handsome foreman, eighteen years my senior and my father's best friend. We clash on everything, except for the chemistry that sizzles between us-chemistry he stubbornly denies. Kyle Returning to New York wasn't in my plans, until my oldest friend entrusted me with leading a restoration project and keeping an eye on his headstrong daughter. Keeping an eye on her is easy; resisting her not so much. She's beautiful, hard-working, and infuriating as hell. The more she challenges me, the more I want to throw her across my knee and teach her a lesson. No matter how much I fight it, Violet's determined we should be together. And she's right. She might be my best friend's daughter, but she was made for me. Contains mature themes.

Daisy I never planned on being a virgin at twenty-five, stuck in a dead-end job. And I definitely didn't plan to fall for Weston, the married hottie in a suit who likes my daily coffee art. At least I think he does. He doesn't smile much. Then I meet Jesse. He's charming and more than happy to relieve me of my V-card, but is he really the one? My world turns upside down when I learn Jesse's father is Weston, my secret crush. Even more surprising? Weston isn't married. And that changes everything. Weston After losing my wife three years ago, I've lived in a haze of pain and grief, made worse by my son Jesse's refusal to talk to me. The only light in the darkness is Daisy, the beautiful barista at my local coffee shop. There's a connection between us despite our age difference, and I intend to make her mine-until Jesse introduces Daisy as his girlfriend. Seeing them together drives me crazy, especially as I watch him take her for granted. The more time I spend around her, the more I want her for myself, but it might cost me my son . . . Even if I saw her first. Contains mature themes.

Chemistry sizzles when a determined business grad and brooding, tattooed landscaper surrender to their forbidden attraction in this steamy and heartfelt romance. Poppy: Crushing on your best friend's dad? Bad idea. Moving in with him? Even worse. But Wyatt Mathers is unlike any dad I've ever met: he's tattooed, owns a motorcycle, and is dangerously handsome.

Living under his roof, I'm falling harder than I ever thought possible . . . and there's no way I can stop. Wyatt: The moment we met, I noticed my daughter's best friend and roommate. I knew it was wrong, and I've kept my distance ever since. But when Bailey moves out, leaving Poppy with nowhere to go, I can't turn my back on her. Especially not with her psycho ex-boyfriend lurking in the shadows. Having her here feels natural. Too natural. Watching her cook in my kitchen and settle into my home makes me realize I don't want her to leave. My only goal is to keep her safe. But what happens when the real threat is . . . me? Contains mature themes.
