"You dye your hair with that wild blue streak to scare me or the horses, Harley?" Teasing my sister's best friend is one of my favourite things to do. Harley has been working as the riding trainer at Whispering Pines Ranch long enough to know one rule- stay away from Wes McCoy. Too bad he's everywhere. Tall, tattooed, and wearing that cowboy hat like trouble was tailor-made for him, Wes just happens to be Lily Mae's older brother... which means avoiding him is impossible. The tension between them has been building for years-quiet glances across the stables, arguments that spark a little too easily, and a chemistry neither of them wants to admit. Harley knows better than to cross that line. Wes knows better than to want her. But in Whispering Pines, some lines were made to be broken. And once they do... there may be no going back

💔 Hurting You, Loving You (Avery LaCroix & Roman St. James - Book Three in The Hurt series) Roman St. James doesn't lose control. Not in court. Not in life. And definitely not over her. Avery LaCroix. Nineteen. Sharp-tongued, reckless, and way too comfortable walking around his apartment like she doesn't set everything on fire. She's also his stepsister. He met her when she was still a teenager. Now she's grown - and staying in his space for the summer. Which is a problem. Because Roman's twenty-five . All clean lines and self-control. And Avery? She's chaos in eyeliner. The temptation he swore he'd never touch. They pretend the tension doesn't exist. That they're not circling something dangerous. But one spark... and it's over.

I beg to differ that.", I sassed and got out of his grip ready to move out of the room when he pulled me by my elbow and the next second I was pushed on the visitor's chair. He trapped me completely by keeping his palms on the arms of the chair. "I tried to tell you patiently.", I scoffed at his words. Patience and he don't go in a single sentence. He gripped my chin making me look into his eyes."Now listen carefully Miss, I want you for my niece as her babysitter. Tell me how much you'll take and we can seal the deal." This time it was me who blinked once, twice and thrice. "But I don't want to work for you." See the reason was absolutely clear. I liked the kid since the moment I met her but I hated this man from the moment I gazed into his eyes. "How much?" I frowned."You really think your money can make everyone dance on your tips?" "1200 dollars a week." I rolled my eyes making him lean towards me." 1500?" "Make it 15000 and still I won't work for you.", I retorted and pushed him. I walked to the door and gave him one glance."Next time when you talk to me, make sure you keep all your richness aside. That's one thing that I never want to see you again, you self-centred CEO." "We shall see." . . . Brave but lonely. Passionate but sensitive. That's Arielle Summers. For everyone, Money, Assets and happiness may be supreme but to her, self-respect is prime. Cold and reckless. Commanding and ruthless. That was Nicolas Arnold. He only cared for his niece, his Mama and his friends.
