LOLA My entire life I have been in love with one man. Ryker Stone. It doesn't matter that he is more than double my age. I don't care about the whispers that say he's too wild to ever be tamed. I like that he's reckless. He makes me feel like I can be uninhibited. Truth is I saved myself for him. I belong to him. RYKER I've had my eye on Lola for more years than I should admit. Her beauty drew me in, but it was her innocence that trapped me. I shouldn't want to claim her, but she's all I desire. So I stay close and make damn sure no one else touches her. I'm all wrong for her, but too damn stupid and hard up to stay away. She can run, but I'll follow. By the time it's all said and done she'll be riding my beard. Warning: This is a short and over-the-top dirty novella that will have you searching out your very own dirty mechanic. It's to the point and leaves nothing to the imagination, but then again, doesn't everyone like it that way? *wink*

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City. To the Green-eyed Lovebird: We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House. You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more. We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other. Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding… I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello. After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half? M
