Kalli Rivers was a woman with the weight of the world on her shoulders. Tragic loss and unfortunate circumstance left her with more responsibility than she was ever prepared for, but she managed to build a good life and keep her eyes focused on her top priority-even if it meant she was putting herself last. Riot Bentley was the hot new actor trying to work hard and make it big in the country's toughest industry. He showed up for his first high-profile job and was captivated by a woman. But it wasn't the leading lady who caught his eye, it was the beautiful yet reserved costume designer. Luckily for him, persistence was one of his best qualities. Kalli kept people at a distance for a reason. Not because she didn't want love, but because she loved too much already. Riot saw her for who she really was and he wasn't willing to be brushed aside. He wanted to give her the love she didn't think she deserved. Would Riot's persistence break through Kalli's walls, or would she stand strong trying to protect the one thing she held dear? Contains mature themes.

When the most traumatic tragedy imaginable occurred, Kalli found herself alone-in every sense of the word. Nothing could have prepared her for the loss she endured and only one person could put her back together. Riot wanted nothing more than to comfort Kalli, to be the person she trusted, turned to, and leaned on, but after weeks of silence, he was starting to believe nothing would ever bring them back together. Except, perhaps, circumstance. When fate throws them together again, she resolved to keep him at arm's length, but he was even more determined to show her they belonged together. For Kalli, it was never a question of whether she loved Riot, but rather whether she was willing to risk everything even when she felt as though she deserved nothing. Contains mature themes.

Talia Lennick expected an uneventful week at the beach with her family. Reading, sunbathing, recharging her proverbial batteries-all typical beach vacation activities. Oh, and dealing with her family, who was too concerned with her almost-thirty-and-single status. What she didn't expect was Briggs Townsend. Briggs was the handsome man living in the house next door, who looked too damned sexy all the time-whether he was surfing or wielding a tool belt while remodeling his beach house. It was hard to keep her eyes off him. But looking at him and admiring his incredible body was as far as she could take it, because a relationship was the last thing she needed.

Sex with an expiration date sounded like a perfect solution, until emotions came into play. Will Talia be able to have casual sex with the irresistible stranger without getting lost in him? Will Briggs be willing to take a chance on her and tear down his walls to let her in? At the end of their week together, will either be able to walk away? Contains mature themes.
