Lexi Nelson interests me in a way no woman has in years. Unfortunately, she wants nothing to do with me and makes so secret of that fact. My friends are baffled watching me chase after this cold, prickly woman who seems to have nothing but disdain for my very existence. One passionate encounter in a parking lot, however, leaves me convinced that Lexi isn't what she seems to be, and if I can just get her to let me in, I'll find enough warmth to last a lifetime. The only thing that's certain, however, I can't walk away now even if I wanted to. Once bitten, twice shy. I know what happens when I let men get too close; I know not to trust their sweet whispered words and promises of love. I won't let myself be hurt that way again. So I will ignore the way Daniel Wright's smile makes my stomach flutter like I'm a girl with her first crush. And I'll ignore everything inside me that wishes I could trust what he offers. But after a small lie that I told my mother to stop her matchmaking snowballs, I might not have a choice but to let Daniel in. The deal was, we pretend we're in a relationship until after my sister's wedding. The rules: no sex and no feelings. But the closer Daniel and I get, the more I'm tempted to throw out the rules and give him everything. But when the past comes back to haunt both of us, I have to decide if I'm willing to trust again or if I'm going to walk away for good. This is the second book in my Home In Cedar City series.

Elliot Vale doesn't fall in love. He manages perception. As the public face of Northwell, he understands one thing better than anyone: appearances are everything. Stability matters. Control matters. Feelings complicate things. So when a fake engagement becomes the cleanest solution to a public problem, Elliot drafts the rules like he always does. Thirty days. Public appearances. No emotional liability. Harper Lane knows exactly what she's agreeing to. She builds brands for a living. She understands strategy. She believes she can enjoy something temporary without expecting forever. It's controlled. It's professional. It's not supposed to feel real. Until it does. Until the lines blur. Until pretending feels indistinguishable from truth. Until Harper starts wanting something that was never part of the agreement. And when Elliot, desperate to prove he's still in control, reminds her exactly what their arrangement was... he does it in a way Harper can't forgive. She doesn't fight. She doesn't beg. She chooses herself. And Elliot is left to face the one thing he never planned for: Feelings don't follow contracts.

Until the night he chose wrong. When a lie tears through the Dawnbreakers MC, loyalty turns toxic and pride turns cruel. In front of his brothers, in front of the clubhouse, Clutch does the one thing Bex never thought he would. He doesn't hit her. He doesn't cheat. He just doesn't believe her. And if he doesn't believe her? Then the patch means nothing. So she takes it off herself. Throws it at his feet. And walks away from the only life she's ever known. No protection. No club. No husband. The fallout fractures the Dawnbreakers from the inside out. Secrets unravel. Brothers fall. The club reforms. But the woman he lost? She isn't waiting to be claimed again. If Clutch wants his wife back, he won't just have to apologize. He'll have to rebuild everything he broke. Publicly. Relentlessly. Without expecting forgiveness. Because this time, she isn't property of anyone. Not even him. This story was born inside the Grovel & Betrayal Facebook group during a live "build-a-book" day.
