Rock Falls (Burke)

Former pro baseball player Linc Conner knows exactly where his head's at. Most of the time, he's completely focused on running his community center and focusing on the kids. But when it comes to single mom Emma Henricksen, Linc can't see straight. She's driven, resourceful-not to mention that smart, extra-kissable mouth-and when she's near, he gets lost in a fog of lust. But he needs her help to convince an investor they're engaged. Emma's too busy raising her gifted little girl to have a sex life that's not battery-operated. Still, how could she resist being engaged to a guy who's the sexual equivalent of her favorite dessert topped with whipped cream and a cherry, even if it's just pretend? Emma knows all too well that if something seems too good-or too tempting-to be true, it definitely is . . . Now it's a game of pretend with a whole lot of chemistry between the guy who's used to playing the field-and the woman who opted out of the game long ago. All that's missing is one helluva curveball . . .

From USA Today bestselling author Aliyah Burke comes a playfully sexy romantic comedy about one room, one bed, and a man who knows how to play . . . When ex-pro basketball player Mitchell Anderson sees an overturned car on the edge of a cliff during a nasty snowstorm, he knows he has only minutes to rescue the woman trapped inside. What he's not expecting is their instant attraction, or that she can deliver one hell of a pick-up line even under the most terrifying of circumstances. Hope Roman's entire life is on the edge. She's already overwhelmed with grief and upset, and nearly dying is pretty much the icing on a terrible, soggy cake. So it's just her luck that she's suddenly snowbound at a charming little inn with the hottest, yet down right grumpiest, man she's ever met. And naturally, there's only one room left. Now the pillow barrier between them keeps disappearing. And the walls are coming down. But Hope knows she doesn't belong in Mitchell's world any more than he belongs in hers. The question is whether either of them can trust the other long enough to play for keeps . . .
