"Close your eyes." he croaked, I did as I was told without any disobedience. "Have you any idea how badly I want to kiss you right now?" I shook my head in reply. "Badly, so fucking badly." he whispered as his harsh breath fanned across my cheek. Dark haired and tattooed, Xavier looked like the ultimate bad boy...but weren't bad boys meant to have that boyish charm? The thing is, Xavier was extremely guarded, hot headed and quite frankly, scary. In fact, Xavier was many things but romantic and loving wasn't two of them. He was a building half built, a puzzle with half of the pieces missing... Until he met me. Warning: Bad language (lots of). A possessive delinquent that is guaranteed to make you smile (or cry.)

Nora was finally getting her life back on track. One after another, she faced the challenges life threw her way until, at last, she could live in peace with her family. From inheriting a small pet clinic, Nora has a place to call home with her twin brothers and daughter. However, Declan, a multi-millionaire and the biological father to her child, would soon disrupt her newly found peace. Though their relationship began with a rocky start, they are willing to compromise for the sake of their daughter, Denora. But what Nora doesn't realize is that Declan wants more than just a superficial relationship-he wants them to become a real family. Of course, Nora refuses. She believes what started as a one-night stand could never develop into something more. Declan thinks differently. Because behind the cold exterior Nora hides behind is a woman burning with passion, just waiting to be discovered. But uncovering her secrets will be harder than he initially thought. Not only does he have to worry about Nora's defenses but also her family's. Neither does it help that she never seems to step foot out of her pet clinic, the Animal House. Just what does a man have to do in order to seduce the mother of his child?
