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?

He was her first love and 'never'... She will be his last and 'forever'. *** Tessa Maxfield has always been the smart one because she couldn't be the pretty one or the cool one. And she's fine with that. The upside of being smart is not making stupid decisions like she did as a kid, falling in love with her older brother's best friend. She outgrew that and could still outsmart it now. Jake Hastings has always been a playboy because he could be so why not? But his best friend's rash wedding and fairytale marriage has left him wondering if he could have more. The downside to his notorious reputation is that when he unexpectedly finds the girl he can't live without, she won't believe him. He burned that bridge a long time ago and she's not letting him build a new one now. Can two people who want so much of what they're afraid of find their way through first loves and second chances to finally find each other? *** This is a spin-off from The Mischievous Mrs. Maxfield. It can be read standalone but I would highly recommend reading the original book first before this one for a lot more context and extra scenes. *** Copyright © 2016 by Nina Tippett.

"____" He said. Emerald blinked confused, she must have spaced out for a second, what did he say. "What?" She asked. "____" Emerald was sure this time, he had said the word. THE word! The four letter word that made her face flush with heat, her hands tremble like a crack addict, and her breath hitch in her throat. Emerald felt her heart start to palpitate in wild, unsteady rhythms, swelling and filling with... Rage. If there was one word in the entirety of the English language she hated more than the word Wushashire-sauce (because really, who could pronounce that right anyway?) it was most defiantly the word, "Mine." He said again. * * * Whats a girl to do when she's the only lamb amongst a pack of hungry wolves? From models to mobsters, bad boys to really cute stalkers, Esmeralda meets the sexiest men in Italy and naturally it means trouble. Especially because she has this thing about 'never falling in love'... Love, heartbreak, Italy, and avoiding hoards of godly men. What could go wrong?

Trying to bring her dreams of owning her own Tattoo Studio to reality, she's far too young and reckless to be shouldering the responsibility.

But the Nomads have old scores that they want to settle ... and maybe Stix isn't as immune as he wants her to think he is.
