The book bucket list 1

Club Zodiac

1.Traning Sasha 

His friend's little sister...

Sasha Easton has had her eye on Lincoln Walsh—the owner of Club Zodiac—for five years. Unfortunately, he does nothing but scowl at her and reject her every shy advance.

She's not right for him...

Lincoln doesn't have a choice but to discourage Sasha because the truth is the two of them are not compatible, no matter how much he might want her in his bed.

She's not as innocent as he thinks...

Determined to get Lincoln to see her as more than his business partner's little sister, Sasha delivers an ultimatum—let her join Club Zodiac or she'll find what she's looking for elsewhere.

Can he help her and let her go?

Watching the only woman he's ever wanted with another man is more than Lincoln can bear, so he finds himself caving. After all, he's confident if he pushes her hard enough, he can protect her from his way of life and himself from admitting the truth about his feelings.

2. Obeying Rowen 

She's living a lie...

She knows it. But it's easier for Faith to pretend she's someone she's not than allow herself to feel again. To love again.

He's watching her...

Rowen can see right through Faith's false persona. But approaching her is the last thing he wants. He's not interested in her type, and wealthy women make him cringe.

She's drawn to him...

When the opportunity presents itself, Rowen won't turn down the chance to prove what he already knows about Faith. She isn't as conflicted as she believes. She's perfect for him.

But is it enough?

Faith has skeletons. Rowen has concerns. They both have a lot to learn about trust and second chances.

3. Collarig Brooke 

Her entire world is falling apart...

Faced with losing her job and her apartment, Brooke is in crisis mode when she inadvertently stumbles into a world she didn't know existed.

He's not the right man for her...

Carter's been watching the gorgeous redhead. She won't meet his gaze. Her secrets will probably terrify him. And her desires run in a direction that makes him uneasy.

She needs the release only a he can provide...

Her haunting past has led her to release her stress through unconventional means. She is leery about Carter's suggestion that she can get the same results in more sensual ways.

He has to let her go...

No matter how badly he would like to keep her, she must face her past head-on and find herself before she can truly belong to him.

4. Mastering Rayne

Secrets can turn into lies if they're kept for too long...

For Rayne, guarding deep family secrets is a way of life. It's ingrained. It prevents her from ever getting close to anyone.

Colin is building a new life in Denver. He has a club to open, a personal training business to grow, and an abused sister to rescue.

Rayne and Colin have known each other for years, but they've never dated. Until now... A chance meeting in a club can change everything.

There's just one problem. Colin's ex-girlfriend made him extremely leery of women who are hiding something. Secrets raise huge red flags.

Their chemistry is undeniable. Their tastes run in the same direction. They click. Rayne knows it. Colin knows it. But the secrets get in the way. Without trust, there is no foundation. 

5.Trusting Aaron  

Her innocence gives him pause... Her baggage is a red flag...

Hope can't marry a man who doesn't love her. She won't. It would be better to flee the church and jump into the first car that pulls up out front.

Aaron is late for the wedding, but why in the hell is the bride running toward his car, fluffy tulle in her hands, and why does she jump inside and tell him to drive?

Aaron hardly knows the bride, but it doesn't take long to realize two things: she's running from her problems, and she's far too innocent for a man like him.

This runaway bride is on a mission, however. If Aaron won't help her, Hope will find someone who will.

6. Claiming London

She's living life on the edge... He's hell-bent on taming her...

After five years in an abusive marriage, London wants nothing to do with men ever again. In fact, she'd rather spend her life doing everything she missed out on while she was married. Bungee jumping. Skydiving. Bartending...

Pierce has already been married once. It didn't work out. Undercover cops make horrible husbands. No wonder his ex-wife left him. So why the hell is he pursuing another woman?

London is determined to keep Pierce at arm's length. Friends with benefits? Hell yes. The sex is amazing. But Pierce wants more than he should, and when emotions start getting tangled up in what was meant to be a no-strings situation, London has to decide if it's worth it to risk her heart again

7. Sharing Charlotte 

Christmas is a time for sharing...and this year it will be Charlotte who finds herself tucked between more men than she bargained for.

Charlotte has it all. Her own thriving business. Perfect health. An amazing outlook on life. And the devotion of not one but two men.

But is two men enough for her? A chance encounter with an old acquaintance has her craving the forbidden.

Nile and Samson adore Charlotte. They have the perfect arrangement and both of them would give her the world. However, their foundation shakes when another man catches her attention. No matter how strongly they feel for her, they have to let her follow her heart.

But what about Rex? The newest member of their group is blindsided to find out that the woman he craves already lives in a committed relationship. She has far too much baggage for his taste.

There's no ignoring the pull to explore outside the boundaries, but is there a line in the sand?

Sometimes the best Christmas presents come wrapped in the most unusual packaging.

8. Taming rex 

It's supposed to be a temporary job in a temporary city with a temporary coworker...

Erica is a genius. She already has her master's degree and has landed her first job. She knows she's a misfit, but it would seem her new coworker is an even bigger nerd. The only time she can let loose is at the local club, Zodiac. A place where all her fantasies are indulged.

Rex doesn't work well with others. How is it possible that the fidgeting, nervous woman sent to work with him is also utterly intriguing? As if he doesn't have enough issues, his heart nearly stops when he sees her at his favorite club with another man.

Dayton hasn't felt a connection like the one he has with Erica in a long time. He doesn't care what her quirks are. He likes her. And the chemistry between them is nearly perfect.

Erica's motto is work hard, play hard. If two men want to fight over her, she's not going to stop them. But she's certainly never been in a predicament like this before. She thought she could juggle a full social calendar. But it's exhausting entertaining two men, and they're behaving like Neanderthals. They need to compromise or take a hike. She does not have time for nonsense... 

9. Tempting Elisabeth

Sometimes a fresh start doesn't look like anything you imagined...

Elizabeth is starting over. New city. New job. New club. Miami is the perfect choice. Warm year round. Gorgeous beaches. Plenty of opportunities. It all seems perfect until she spots Flynn at Zodiac, the club she just joined. The one man she never wanted to see again. Miami isn't big enough for the two of them.

Flynn moved to Miami to take over his family's restaurant. He loves being back in his home town. He's living his best life. Until he spots Elizabeth at Zodiac. He used to work with her. Infuriating woman. Seeing her brings back all the pent-up stress and anger he felt every day sharing an office with her.

The tension between them could start a fire, but a chance encounter causes Flynn to see her in a new light. Elizabeth isn't interested in anything he has to offer though, nor is she willing to listen to reason. Convincing her to give him a chance is like eating soup with a fork.

But someone is following her, and it makes Flynn nervous. Why does she feel the need to stubbornly control everything? There's something about her that makes Flynn unwilling to give up. When the perfect opportunity comes along, can he convince her to stay in town and let her guard down?
