Reed Brothers

Kit Logan wants to know my name, but I can't tell him. I can't tell him anything. There are too many people looking for me. He's pretty persuasive, though, and he convinces me to go home with him so he can keep me safe from this harsh city where I find myself. It's not my home. It's his. He belongs. I don't. Logan lives with four brothers in the inner city. Yet I've never felt more safe than I do when I'm with him. I want him. But he won't let me have a darn thing, aside from his friendship, unless I'm willing to tell him my secrets. But they're mine, and I can't share them. Not unless I want them to come and get me. Logan She catches my eye because she's so beautiful she takes my breath. But that's not all that I love about her. I love the way she smells. The way she smiles. The way she plays the guitar is unlike anything I have ever seen. She sleeps in my bed every night, and drives me crazy with her touch. But I can't take what she offers because I need all of her. I need for her to tell me her secrets. I need for her to trust me. From the back of the book: She's locked up tight. But he might be the key. Logan Reed is tall, tatted, and tempting. Kit's a woman with a mean right hook and a secret. Kit wants a tattoo, but Logan sees more than she intends to share in the drawing of the tat she wants. He sees her in ways no one ever has. Logan's not disabled, but he hasn't spoken in eight years. He hasn't needed to. Until he meets Kit. Logan doesn't know everything about Kit. Kit doesn't know anything about herself, until she has to sacrifice all she ever wanted to save what's most important to him.

Emily I'm back in New York, ready to start my brand new life with Logan. Things are still up in the air between us, and it has been three months since I've even talked to him. But there's one thing I'm certain of -- I can't live without him. Logan I need her like I need air. But now she's back, and her dad and her ex-boyfriend are conspiring to keep us apart. We can do this, though. Can't we? We can make this work. We have to because I can't imagine my life without her.

I met her on the worst night of her life. She was broken, shaking, and waiting for someone to save her. I am just thankful I got the opportunity to know her. Her dad helped me with some legal trouble I got into, and I volunteered to help out at their camp for children with special needs. Horses, pools, and a tracking bracelet on my ankle. Sounds like a fun week, doesn't it? She was there and she wanted to thank me for my kindness on that awful night. But I want her. I want her more than anything. I think she wants me back, but she needs calm and careful, and I don't know if I can provide that. Pete saved me. But now it's my turn to return the favor. He's hot, with this tattoos and piercings but, beneath it all, he's crying out for someone to save him too. Can he love me completely?

What he needed was a miracle… Matthew Reed has seen his share of problems. But he's a Reed and Reeds can overcome anything. Matt is content working in his family's tattoo parlor with his brothers surrounding him. The only thing he's lacking is the ability to have a family of his own. Then his battle with cancer leads him to meet a woman who just might need him as much as he needs her. She didn't need anything... Skylar Morgan is happy. She has a boyfriend. Sure, he doesn't make her heart pound faster and he really doesn't support her when she needs it. But she doesn't need much. Does she? She's happy to be self-sufficient and she's happy that she doesn't have a tremendous amount of responsibility. She's educated, has a great job, and she has enough money for a lifetime. But what she lacks, she doesn't even realize until she meets him. And them. The ones who change her life forever.

"You'll find Faith in the clock shop," Peter Reed says. Daniel has a list of things he wants to do before the clock strikes 12 on December 31st. Get a tattoo Ride a horse-drawn carriage in the snow See a Broadway play Buy hot chestnuts from a street vendor Eat a one-pound burger at Rocko's Drink hot chocolate on a bench in the park Fix my watch Daniel's watch stopped working when he lost all his men, his leg, and his hope in Afghanistan. A chance encounter at Reed's Tattoo Parlor leads him to Faith, a redhead with the prettiest green eyes he's ever seen. Daniel intends to meet his deadline before the clock strikes midnight, and Faith sets out to help him. But she is goodness and light, and he's not ready to let her warmth shine on him. Faith takes care of her aging grandmother and knows how precious life is. But can she help Daniel realize it before it's too late? She has less than 24 hours. Tick tock. Tick tock.

She's perfect. He's not. She's the lead singer in a popular rock band. He's a tattoo artist. She's all perfect creases and fancy clothes. He's covered in prison ink. She's wealthy. He doesn't have a pot to piss in. She's good. He's bad. The question is - will she ever be good enough for him?

He has watched her from afar.... Paul Reed has been raising children since he was a child himself, but he wouldn't change his life, even if given an opportunity. That is, until one of his brothers says four little words that shake the foundation of his world. "She's not a lesbian," shouldn't be quite so earth shattering, but suddenly the woman he loves is available, and he'll do whatever it takes to win her over. They call her Friday, and she's hiding more than just her name - Friday has worked in the Reeds' tattoo parlor for four years. She's become more than just an employee, and she loves being in the middle of something so wonderful. She treasures the way the Reeds live for one another, and she adores the way they take care of their family. She would do just about anything to be part of it, if not for the fact that she doesn't deserve a family of her own. Or does she? Friday is punishing herself for her past, and by doing so, she pushes away the one man who could truly love her. Separately, they're strong. Together, they're vulnerable. As a team, they rock.

He knows the value of life. She's still learning. What would you do if you had one last moment to say goodbye? Would you take it?

The last one to fall… Sam Reed is the only brother in the Reed family who hasn't fallen head over heels in love. He has a promising contract to play professional football, but something is missing. Sam likes to watch cooking shows, snuggle on the couch, and he wants someone to do it with him. But with his go-getter lifestyle, it's almost impossible to find the time to get to know one woman. That is, until he meets the one who makes him want to change his whole life. A fake name and a world of hurt... When Peck was 12, she was called by a different name, lived with a different family, and had no prospects whatsoever. But now she finds herself the drummer in an all-girl band, makes more money than she ever dreamed possible, and she's content. Until the day her birth mother shows back up. Fame. Fortune. Stardom. Adolation. Neither of them wants it. They both have it. But can they have more?

She hates babies. He just happens to have one. She hates liars. She's pretty sure he is one. She never sleeps with a man more than once. He has only had sex with one woman in his whole life, and now she's gone. He has boundaries. She has none. He prays before every meal. She silently hopes he'll stop doing that. Faith is what's left when everything else is stripped away, he says. What will be left when she's naked, stripped, bare, raw? She has no idea. What if there's nothing?

Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. Girl falls in love with boy...SCREECH! No. It can't be that easy. (You knew that, right?) Boy meets girl. Boy can't fall in love with girl. She also has secrets. He'll try to uncover all her secrets. But in doing so, he'll have to remove all the walls she hides behind. Leave her bare and aching. And what happens then? Girl meets boy. Girl falls in love with boy. Boy can't love her back.
