And he gets Blaire because that's how his life works. Until it doesn't. What begins as a single night in a hotel room spirals into an unusual agreement.

Because when guards are dropped, hearts get shattered.

Coy Mason is a jerk. If there is one truth that Bellamy Davenport knows, it's that. Well, that and the fact she didn't mean to hurt him. Physically. Coy can't be hurt emotionally because he doesn't have a heart. Coy is not just the small-town, literal boy next door. He's a heartbreaking, womanizing, mischief-making (and delicious) man and was all of those things well before he became a hot-shot country music sensation. He's a dream standing in her doorway with no shirt, messy hair, and a "Do you wanna?" grin. But he's also a nightmare for her heart, and she knows it. Their enemies-to-lovers relationship always ends the same way-heavy on the enemies, light on the lovers. So why is she still standing there? Author's Note: Reputation is a standalone novel with heat and heart. No cliffhanger.

This charming and wealthy playboy, who can't pay his bills on time or find his way to the grocery store (but we all have flaws, right?), is sweet. Confident. Playful. He's almost perfect. And, to make matters worse … He's smitten with me. I know what you're thinking. You're rolling your eyes. You're assuming this is some opposites attract situation-or that maybe we can be friends who turn into something more. How can this be a bad thing? Well, it's simple. I'm not the kind of girl you fall in love with. Just to be sure, the universe reminds me of that in an unforgettable, in-your-face kind of way.

From USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a forbidden workplace romance between a fiery new hire and her smoldering boss. "I had to sneeze." I should've taken her insurance information and driven off like any reasonable CEO with places to be would. She crashed into my car, for heaven's sake.Becauseshe had to sneeze. What did I do? I didn't get in my car and drive away if that's what you're thinking. Nope. I stuck around. I could suggest I stayed because she needed help, but the truth? She was really, really hot. We became fast friends. Then friends with benefits. Before I knew it, we were involved in an illicit office romance that had me fumbling through a drawerful of panties to get a Post-It. It was supposed to be easy-a fling, if you will. A dashing millionaire hero (adjusts tie) and a beautiful (stubborn, frustratingly independent, hell-on-wheels) damsel in distress. (Don't tell her I said that.) It wasn't supposed to be forever, but we did want a happy ending. (Pun intended.) We could've made it work, too. But one of us overcomplicated things with the L-word. And the other? They omitted a truth that changed everything.

From USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke comes a workplace romance between a grumpy, alpha architect and his new client-who just so happens to have the blueprint to bring him to his knees. Romance is not in Wade Mason's portfolio. This is tragic. It's unfair that a man so maddeningly gorgeous-an architect with a deliciously squarish jaw, adorably dimpled chin, and the hottest black glasses that straddle the line between professional and provocative-rebukes all things love. I knew this well before I walked into his office. The man is a conundrum-a complicated, steel wall of a puzzle. On the one hand, he brushes against me in the conference room with a broodiness that sets me on fire. He demands in-person meetings about the house we are working on together. I catch him watching me out of the corner of his eye with a look that's anything but platonic. But any talk of hookups, love, or relationships-even in general? Completely off the table. I'm determined to peel back his layers until I get to the bottom of the mysterious businessman. But my plan is foiled by a surprise that leaves both of us reeling. Neither of us sees it coming, but it changes everything … forever.
