When opposites attract and temptation lives next door. * After life throws Fallon Davis a curveball, she finds herself living in a dingy apartment, single-parenting her 3 year old son, and working at the dive-iest dive bar in town. College seems like an impossible dream from a lifetime ago. And dating? What's that? Hunter Kensington has had everything handed to him. Elite boarding schools; college tuition paid in full; and a cushy job waiting for him at his father's billion-dollar mining company. Sure, his secret aspirations to play professional hockey never panned out, he can't stand his backstabbing friends and family, and he's in a toxic on-again/off-again cycle with his ex. Everything is fine, because he numbs his brain with all the distractions money can buy-until his father cuts him off. When Hunter finds himself living in the same rundown apartment complex as the cocktail waitress he met at the bar, sparks fly... then ignite. Fallon is attracted to her handsome, athletic neighbor but knows she'd never get serious with a trust fund brat. Hunter is intrigued by his gorgeous, jaded neighbor but knows they're from different worlds. Fallon has walls, and Hunter has issues. Neither's had any reason to change... until now.

As she discovers the many layers to this difficult man, she can't help but want to ease his burdens and carry his demons. She can't help but want him, period. Jaxon is intent on pushing her away, though, and Emily must decide if she should run from the inevitable destruction of her heart while she can, or fight for the fighter.

When Agatha becomes the Everard's governess, she's grateful for a way to escape her dark past. That is until her growing feelings for the mysterious Lord of the house begin to present an even greater risk. ***** The Everard's are one of the most esteemed families in Wickhurst. And Benedict, the Lord of Devonshire and the eldest of the clan, is as mysterious and brooding as anyone The Town has ever seen.

But little does he know that he is about to meet his match in Agatha Blair, his sisters' new governess.

She truly intrigues him more than any woman he has met but she is a governess and he is a Lord. The Town would shun the union of two people from different stations and any romance between them is surely a recipe for social disaster! But what can they do when the burning hot feelings refuse to relent? And when Benedict uncovers that Agatha is hiding a secret far more dangerous than anything he could have imagined, will love save the day and will Agatha finally tame the beast? *This story is a standalone title in the Everard Family series.
