Love in New Bedford

Everything she was waiting for moved in right next door... A single mom by day and ER nurse by night, Emma kissed her wild past goodbye to focus on raising her two young daughters. Nobody with kids has the time to be chasing orgasms. Juggling work and laundry is tricky, but she's keeping it together-mostly. Single dad Will Taylor hauled his collection of concert T-shirts and carpentry tools to New Bedford expecting to build a new life with his young son. A fresh start with great schools, good friends...and the hottest mom he's ever seen, living a scant ten yards from his front door. From the very first time they touch, Emma and Will's connection is electric. Soon stolen kisses and dirty texting aren't enough-they need adults-only alone time. And lots of it.

Hold on to your cardigan! This small-town Christmas is about to get steamy… The most recent addition to New Bedford’s crack team of small-town librarians is Ben, a mysterious, tight-lipped recluse who prefers cataloging in the basement to interacting with his eccentric coworkers. Poppy, the intrepid circulation clerk, is content to let him brood alone…at first. As Christmas Eve approaches, Poppy braves Ben’s prickly demeanor—and the spooky basement stairs—with offerings of hot chocolate and friendship. What she discovers at Ben’s dimly lit desk is an endearing, complicated man who always expresses exactly what he wants. Or would, if not for the constant interruptions that keep him from touching her. When an unexpected snowstorm traps the potential lovebirds in the library overnight, Poppy and Ben finally have a chance to explore the energy that crackles between them. Is it just epic sex? Or is it love in the stacks? This book is approximately 15,000 words *The Dirty Bits from Carina Press give you what you want, when you want it. Designed to be read in an hour or two, these sex-filled microromances are guaranteed to pack a punch and deliver a happily-ever-after.
