One Kind Ride


Book Description

Finn appeared to be well in control of all that toned body and he smelled good too. Like soap and… hero. Jacy Brenton thoroughly enjoyed escaping to New Orleans for a few days to visit an old college friend. She had so much fun she stayed an extra day, and now rushing home to small-town life in the woods of Vermont holds zero appeal. Especially when her brother and twin sister have met their soul mates, and Jacy… hasn’t. If she doesn’t get on a flight back to Vermont today, however, she’ll miss her parents’ anniversary party. That’s definitely an unforgivable offense. How is she supposed to get a last-minute seat on an already full plane though? Finn Johansen can’t stand to see anyone in distress, even a complete stranger. That’s why he steps in to rescue Jacy from her no-seat situation. She’s obviously desperate to get home. People are waiting for her. No one’s waiting for him, and he’s certainly not heading home. Military life has sent Finn all over the place. It’s also cost him people he’d considered family. He’s got plans to keep that from happening again though. Assuming he doesn’t get distracted by beautiful women in airports. Is one kind ride enough to bring everyone home?

One Kind Home


Book Description

How could Dolan’s stupid wink and a barely-there smile send such a scorching blaze through her? It’s Claire Rayhill’s turn. All her siblings have found true love in Maplehaven. Clearly, she’s next. She’s been on a ton of dates since moving to small-town Vermont, but those guys haven’t given her that forever vibe. None of them have made her feel like she did six years ago on her one and only night with Dolan Fairmont. Her brother’s sexy bodyguard shifted her world right off its axis. Then he left. Claire has been spinning ever since, but she’s determined to find a nice guy who wants to make a home with her. Until Dolan returns with the brick walls around his heart higher than ever. The mere sight of him has insults flying out of Claire’s mouth every time they are in each other’s company. Which is far too often. His singular focus on his job pisses her off, but the way he tracks her with those serious gray-blue eyes does something else entirely. Dolan isn’t sure his brick walls will hold now that he’s back in Claire’s orbit. The sass that comes out of her mouth doesn’t affect him half as much as what that same mouth did to him six years ago. He’s never forgotten the power of her kiss or the fire of her touch, but his line of work is risky. He knows all too well that putting people he loves in danger is always a mistake. Better to not have Claire at all than to lose her. When Dolan gets hurt, however, Claire surprises them both by volunteering to help. Will she regret that good deed? Will he? Is one kind home enough to tear down all the walls around their fragile hearts?

It’ll be great to see all his brothers who still live in town, but Jackson’s stay is definitely temporary.

Robin will find a way to get this job done so she can prove she’s ready to be more than the company’s statistics geek. All data suggests this trip isn’t going to be easy, but she isn’t going to let Daniel stand in the way of her career goals. Even if he is a Roman god. Daniel isn’t thrilled with the prospect of spending an entire week with Robin for this assignment. All they’ve done at work is glare at each other and stay in their opposite corners of the office. It’s totally his fault she hates him, but so what? Her number crunching keeps shooting down his new ideas for products. Is he supposed to be delighted to work with someone like that? Hell, no. This trip could mean a promotion though, so he’ll suck it up and soldier through somehow.
