Sexy Athlete: I bet you… Penelope Graham: Burn in hell, quarterback. The late night text is random but Penelope knows exactly who “Sexy Athlete” is. And why she shouldn't take his wager. Ryker Voss. Football star. Walks on water and God's gift to women. Just ask him. His bet? He promises Penelope he’ll win her the heart of the nerdy guy she’s been crushing on. His plan—good old-fashioned jealousy. Once her crush sees her kissing Ryker, he'll realize what he's missing. Sounds legit, right? The only question is…why is Ryker being so nice to her?

The people we love are thieves.  They steal our hearts. They steal our breath.  They steal our sanity.  And we let them.  Over and over and over again. 
********************************************* 
They say you never forget your first time.  Mine was with a homeless musician who effed my brains out under a bridge.  He was my first love. And fourteen years later, I still can’t get him out of my head.  He broke all my rules.  He also broke my heart.  I watched him climb to stardom, cheering him on from afar.  But I was never a fan; just a girl in love.  Like a tornado, he spiraled, leaving a path of destruction in his wake.  But love conquers all, right? It has to. Because here I stand, ravaged and ruined, needing it to be true.  You can’t go back, bu…

The night I’m released from prison, she’s in my bed.

It’s been eight years since I touched a woman, and the Native American beauty is half-dressed, beaten, bruised, and devastatingly exquisite.

We’re toxic together, but we want the same things. Blood. Vengeance.

Violent relief in a warm body.

Beneath her touch, I’m alive.

Against her skin, I’m redeemed.

Buried inside her, I forget the past.

Until the past takes her from me.

Prison made me cold, but losing Raina makes me cruel. Ruthless. Unforgiving.

I killed before. For her, I’ll kill again.

I’ll end this once and for all or die in my boots.

The biggest story of her life is the one he wants to hide.

I’m homeless by choice.

I have no intention of returning to my former life after what I’ve done.

This—living among the filth and discarded remnants of others—is what I deserve.

As atonement for my sins, I give back; I help those who cannot help themselves. But it’s always under the guise of anonymity.

Newspaper headlines throughout the city are clamoring to discover my identity.  Including the beautiful woman who manages to see through my “armor.”

She has the capability to put my entire life at risk.

***5 Stars***
I knew this book would take me on a journey but I didn’t expect for it to grab hold of me the way that it did and give me all the feels that it did, especially the ones of the teary eyed sniffly variety. But it and it did so much more which is why I feel like saying it was all kinds of goodness is an understa…

Blurb
One Rule: No More Men.
Two years ago I walked away from a marriage I thought would last forever and all I got from it was Dick … 
and I don’t mean the one between my stupid ex’s legs. 
I’m talking about the one hundred fifty pound furry dog said ex dropped off at my doorstep.
But I’d take Dick over any man, any day. 
So why did I resemble my dog, panting and drooling, whenever I ran into Hudson West, my sexy new neighbor?
True, the gorgeous veterinarian was hotter than sin.
And my new roommate only made it impossible for me to avoid conversation with a man I didn’t need.
Until tragedy struck and some jerk decided to run Dick down.
It was hotter than sin Hudson who came to his rescue. 
Then it became impossible to ignore him. 
It was only supposed to be a fling, a quickie, a one and done.
We both had reasons to keep it that way … my one rule an…
