When I arrive at a luxury spa resort for a much needed vacation, the last person I expect to find is my best friend's grumpy older brother. Carlton got his heart broken years ago and has been jaded and reclusive ever since. He might be at the resort to work, but I'm here to relax, and I'm not going to let his obnoxiousness get in my way. Only it's hard to relax when he's around. He's much too good-looking, and he's always been able to rile me up. I shouldn't go out of my way to taunt and bicker with him, but he's too tempting a target. I can't help it. Then we accidentally end up in bed together, and the situation gets even more complicated. Because now we have to go back home to Green Valley and pretend it never happened. There has to be a limit to the mistakes I make with Carlton. An unwise vacation fling is one thing, but I'm not going to fall in love with the man. That would be the biggest mistake of all.

It was only meant to be a vacation fling... Three blissful weeks on the beautiful island of Maui are exactly what I need... Hula dancers, Mai Tais with cocktail umbrellas, and golden beaches - what more could I want? Then I see her, and I realize she's exactly what I want. She was locked outside of her hotel room, all buttoned-up in a suit definitely not appropriate for a vacation, and wearing a fierce take-no-shit stance. But I couldn't help noticing the pain behind her eyes... Four Mai Tais later, the chemistry between us is hotter than the Hawaiian sun, and we decide to spend the rest of our vacation unwinding, undressing, and getting to know each other a little better... We have just two rules: 1) No talking about our lives outside Maui. 2) This is just a vacation fling. That means I can't tell her about the heartbreak that haunts me, and the secret I have back home. It means I can't ask her about the sorrow in her eyes, and why she has such a wall up - a wall I'm determined to bring crashing down. When the sun sets on our trip, can I say goodbye to this gorgeous blue-eyed beauty? Or am I going to be tempted to break the rules? And if I do decide to be a rule-breaker, will she even want me when she finds out who I really am? This is a full-length, standalone romance with some hot-under-the-collar action, no cheating and a guaranteed HEA.

My brother is an idiot. He won the lottery and invested all of his money in a run-down bowling alley. Since he's barely making it, he moved in with me. Great. Having him around the house isn't the worst thing in the world, but he does make a mess like nobody's business. My friends Zeke, Jessie, and Kayden keep me sane but there's only so much they can do. And it's definitely not the worst thing in the world when his old friend, Ryker, moves to town. The second I lay eyes on him, I'm hot under the collar. He makes my body burn in longing and freeze in desperation at the exact same time. When he talks, I don't listen to anything he says because I'm staring at that hard jaw and those kissable lips like I already own them. But he's a bed hopper. A playboy. A heartbreaker. I'm all down for some hot, sweaty, yummy sex even if it doesn't have a fairy tale ending. I've been down that road before. I know the drill. But with Ryker, it's different. Because I know I'll fall in love with him. For now, I'll steer clear of him and keep my hands to myself. It can't be that hard, right? Or can it?

Most people don't have a nemesis, but I do. His name is Rafe Archibald. On the first day of kindergarten, he stole my chocolate cupcake. In sixth grade, he won the big essay contest, while I ended up runner-up. All through high school, he was my academic rival, and in college he dated all my friends. After graduation, I hoped to be rid of him at last, but he moved into the apartment across the hall. He's always around. Inescapable. Constantly infuriating me with his too-long hair, his laid-back attitude, and his smug smile. Just when I think it can't get worse, it does. Our grandmothers start meddling. They decide we must be secretly in love and concoct a matchmaking scheme. When my grandmother announces she's inviting all her friends and family to her huge country estate for an old-fashioned holiday house party, I'm excited about a two-week break from running into Rafe in the hallway, at the coffee shop, and at our favorite bar. Then there he is. At my grandmother's house for Christmas. In the room across the hall. Their set-up won't work. I've developed a lifetime's worth of resistance against Rafe's dubious charms. Sure, I might slip and fall into bed with him, but that's an accident and won't happen again. And, even if it does, it still won't touch my heart. After all, the last thing a smart woman should do is fall in love with her nemesis.

In need of extra money after a divorce, I take a job with Companions for Hire. I'm not any good at it. I'm too quiet. Too shy. Too uncomfortable with social situations.

I assume the girl will be spoiled and her father will be a workaholic, but neither of them are what I expect. Candice is bookish and withdrawn, and it's a challenge to draw her out of her shell. But that's nothing compared to what Hugh does to me. He's smart and funny and dangerously attractive, and he keeps trying to get to know me. I shouldn't want to get close to him. After my failed marriage, I'm not inclined to trust easily. Plus, getting close to him would be breaking the rules of my job. I work for Companions for Hire, which means sex is against the rules and falling in love is out of the question. The Chaperone is the second book in the Companions for Hire series about a company that provides a variety of social partners for a price.
