Dr Grant by Catharina Maura

Dr Grant by Catharina Maura

Dr. Noah Grant’s dream job came with three rules: Don’t sleep with the students, don’t sleep with a patient, and stay away from Harold Astor’s granddaughter. Seems easy, right? It was. Right until Amara Astor walks into his office with one of her own inventions – an adult toy – stuck inside her. She’s a patient, a PhD student, and she’s Harold Astor’s granddaughter. She’s entirely off-limits. Getting involved with her puts his promising future at risk, yet he can’t turn her away. Not when doing so means she’ll find someone else to test her crazy inventions with.

Hush by Cathleen Cole and Frank Jensen

Hush by Cathleen Cole & Frank Jensen

Hush: I had love once and lost it. Never again. That’s why I told myself she’s off limits—forbidden. It doesn’t matter that she’s as sexy and courageous as she is unexpected. Or that I can’t get her out of my mind. I’m not her happily ever after. So, I’ll help her investigate why people are going missing in the desert. But I’ll keep my hands—and my heart—to myself. That’s the plan, anyway. Seek: My dogs and my career in Search and Rescue are all I need to be happy. Or so I thought. Turns out, I need him, too. But while he’s willing to give me his… Read more.

The rules were simple. Keep my hands off his daughter and stay out of trouble. But now I’m stuck with her. There’s only one bed. And well, rules are made to be broken. I’m the face of professional bull riding—the golden boy. Or at least I was, until it all blew up in my face. Now my agent says I have to clean up my image, so I’m stuck with his ball-busting daughter for the rest of the season as my “full-time supervision.” But I don’t need a goddamn babysitter, especially one with skin-tight jeans, a sexy smirk, and a mouth she can’t stop running. A mouth I can’t stop thinking… Read more.

When my manager assigns me the task of finding a new wake up call service for our CEO, I think, how hard can this be? Answer: practically impossible. It turns out that no wake-up call company in the world will take him on as a client. They’ve all had enough of his surly personality. So in an effort not to lose my job, I secretly start making the calls myself, every day at 4:30 am sharp. OMG yes you read that right—four freaking thirty in the morning. Confession: I’m not the nicest wake-up-call girl at that hour. Hello! Who wakes up before the roosters are even crowing? Luckily he… Read more.
