They say our destiny is up to our own choices, but what if we were never given the chance to choose ourselves? Clara Cooke knows all about choosing others before herself. After all, that's the very definition of being a mother. The boldest choice she ever made was divorcing her cheating husband to raise her daughter all on her own. She's never regretted it, but it's left her awfully mistrusting of other men since. Especially if it's the brooding town hunk who's adorned in tattoos, forceful scowls, and a surprising soft spot for her eleven-year-old little girl. Hasn't she learned that some things are just too good to be true? Rhett Easton has never cared for anyone but himself. Why should he, when his mother abandoned him the second he was born? Now it's his turn to take care of his spitfire grandmother who raised and stood by him, the only woman he's ever truly cared about. Until them. He never expected the kid to weasel her way into his life and bring her mother with her. It's going to be a lot harder to pretend he hasn't secretly wanted her for the past decade, especially when she's always seemed too good to be true. Clara has never wanted to be saved, and Rhett has never cared to do the saving. But when destiny brings them together, is that what they'll finally choose? *Rated 18+ due to language and mature subject themes. All Rights Reserved to TheFeveredBookaholic.*

After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate. He's off-limits... but resisting him might be impossible. *** When Madelaine Grayson's bathroom ceiling caves in, it's not just drywall that crumbles. It's her entire world. Forced to move in with her brother, she finds herself swept up in the chaos of his new protective attitude - especially when it comes to his tattooed roommate, Noah Laurier. Noah is the epitome of perfection: sweet, hot, and embedded into every thought Madelaine has. But he's forbidden, and the closer she gets, the harder he is to resist. Well... what her brother doesn't know can't hurt him, right? *** "Matt's sister, I presume?" He walks towards the couch and my eyes widen. He's tall. I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them.

All I can think about as I force myself to keep my eyes on the screen is the feel of his jaw beneath my hand, and it takes everything in me not to look
