Manwhore (Baker)

A past tragedy has left Lily Holmes burdened with a devastating secret...Since the death of her twin sister, Lily can't bear to be touched. Not accidentally, not casually...and certainly not intimately. This makes it impossible for her to confess to her best friend Adam Roberts that she's in love with him. She can't give him the sort of relationship he needs, so she watches in silence while he plans his wedding with someone else.Enter Nikoli Kinkaid, the campus manwhore...Nikoli is a self-proclaimed connoisseur of women, and he wants to add Lily to his list of conquests, but she wants nothing to do with him-until he makes her an offer she can't refuse. He'll teach her to enjoy human contact again, giving her a chance to win over Adam, while Nikoli uses all his considerable charm to seduce her.But Lily raises the stakes...Lily loves cars. Her late father was a racer, and she grew up under the hood of a car and on the racetrack. Nikoli has a limited edition car she covets, so she informs him the terms of their deal also require he not sleep with anyone for six months. If he does, she'll win the car. If she surrenders and ends up in his bed, his beloved 'Cuda is his to keep.In an intricate dance of control and surrender, a reluctant friendship becomes something more. Lily begins to crave things she never believed she could, and Nikoli realizes there is more at stake than his reputation.If Lily overcomes her phobia, will she crave Adam's touch as she's starting to crave Nikoli's? Or will she only find pleasure from the touch of a semi-reformed manwhore?

Mason Kincaid is a player. He learned from the best-his brothers. He knows he's a good-looking bastard and isn't afraid to use his baby face on the ladies. Life is sweet until he receives a call from his best friend begging Mason to look out for his baby sister, Josephine. A babysitting job is not on his list of things to do, but Keith is like a brother to him, and he can't say no. Then he meets Josephine and feels like a fifteen-year-old fanboy. Josephine isn't just Keith's little sister-she's Mason's favorite YouTuber, and Keith damn well knew it. The bastard probably laughed his ass off. Celebrity crush or not, he takes his role as her fill-in big brother seriously, and he immediately understands Keith's dislike of Jo's self-centered boyfriend. The more time Mason spends with her, the harder it is not to beat the asshole black and blue. And the harder it is to guard his heart. Before long, the player is played. He falls in love with a woman who is not only taken, but seems to truly love her boyfriend. But Mason is a Kincaid, and Kincaids don't back down. He's determined to change his manwhore ways and show Jo what it means to be treated right, cared for, and loved, even though she fights him with every breath. Can he convince her to listen to her heart before it's too late-and they lose the one thing they'll never find again?
