Southern Alphas: The Full Package


Book Description

COMPLETE SERIES - 4 BOOKS IN 1! From award-winning author, Lori Sjoberg, comes four sexy Southern Alphas who always get their woman. This complete collection includes Driven, Fractured, Devoted, and Denied. Driven Kayla Phillips determined to keep her struggling family farm, but billionaire Mason Falco is resolved to buy the land out from under her. To save her home, Kayla makes a bet with Mason, but will the passion building between them change the odds? Fractured Carter Phillips has returned from multiple deployments, and he's brought a few demons home with him. War has left him scarred, inside and out, and he's counting on the peace and isolation of his family's farm to keep his head screwed on straight. What he doesn't bargain for is Amy Williams, the new horse trainer. She's kinder than he deserves, tougher than he expects, with a hidden core of vulnerability that triggers his need to possess and protect her. Amy has finally pieced her life back together, after being forced to give up everything and assume a new identity. Now she's safe, no longer the target of accusations and death threats—but she's also alone. The only danger to her secrets and her celibacy is Carter, smoking-hot former Marine—and her boss's brother. With each passing day, she finds it harder to lie to him about who she is—and who she wants. Neither of them wants to talk about the past, but the more time they spend together, the closer they become. When the truth comes out, will it set them free or tear them apart forever? Devoted Ethan Riggs is in love with a woman he can’t have, and it’s driving him out of his mind. She’s his best friend’s secret crush and his adopted family’s adored baby sister, which locks her in the look-but-don’t-touch category. It was easy to deny his attraction while she was away at veterinary school. But now that she’s back, the temptation’s growing stronger, and a man can only resist for so long before he finally claims what he wants. Doctor Louise Phillips doesn’t have time for a man. Between her work at the animal hospital and helping her sister on the family farm, she barely has time for sleep. But when a rare night out turns into an evening in the slammer, it’s Ethan she calls for help. He’s a great guy—and seriously hot—but he’s never shown any interest in her beyond friendship. But now that he’s agreed to help her beat the charges, working closely with him is giving her ideas. Sexy, sweaty ideas. But Ethan has secrets buried deep in his past, and he hates the thought of Louise looking at him with pity—or worse, disappointment. Unfortunately, secrets have a nasty habit of coming out when they’re least expected. When Louise learns the truth, will she stand by her man or kick him to the curb? Denied Shane Falco has it all: looks, money, power, and more women than he knows what to do with. The last thing he wants is to settle down and start a family, so imagine his surprise when he meets a little girl with eyes that are just like his. Larissa LeClaire is reminded of Shane every time she looks at her daughter. He’s the very last person she wants to see again, even though she can’t forget the way he totally rocked her world. He snuck out of her bed without so much as a goodbye, and she doesn’t have time in her busy life for a man she can’t count on. Shane’s determined to be the kind of father he never had, even though the girl’s hot-blooded mother doesn’t want anything to do with him. Yet as they agree to a truce for the sake of their daughter, it’s hard to ignore the explosive chemistry between them. But when a figure from the past comes back to haunt them, will it tear them apart or bring them closer together? **Fun and sexy contemporary romance. Fall in love with the Southern Alphas today!**

Big Rock


Book Description

It's not just the motion of the ocean, ladies. It's definitely the SIZE of the boat too. And I've got both firing on all cylinders. In fact, I have ALL the right assets. Looks, brains, my own money, and a big c&$k. You might think I'm an as%*$le. I sound like one, don't I? I'm hot as sin, rich as heaven, smart as hell and hung like a horse. Guess what? You haven't heard my story before. Sure, I might be a playboy, like the NY gossip rags call me. But I'm the playboy who's actually a great guy. Which makes me one of a kind. The only trouble is, my dad needs me to cool it for a bit. With conservative investors in town wanting to buy his flagship Fifth Avenue jewelry store, he needs me not only to zip it up, but to look the part of the committed guy. Fine. I can do this for Dad. After all, I've got him to thank for the family jewels. So I ask my best friend and business partner to be my fiancée for the next week. Charlotte's up for it. She has her own reasons for saying yes to wearing this big rock. And pretty soon all this playing pretend in public leads to no pretending whatsoever in the bedroom, because she just can't fake the kind of toe-curling, window-shattering orgasmic cries she makes as I take her to new heights between the sheets. But I can't seem to fake that I might be feeling something real for her. What the hell have I gotten myself into with this...big rock? BIG ROCK is a standalone, dirty romance novel written from the guy's POV by NYT Bestselling author Lauren Blakely...
