When Rory Hale makes out with a tuxedoed stranger in a wedding coat closet, she doesn't expect to lose her job, her apartment, and her last shred of dignity in one week. But life has a sense of humor-and apparently, so does the universe. Kicked out by her roommate and ghosted by her mystery man, Josh, while still crashing on his couch, Rory finds herself arrested for trespassing.
Enter Julian Voss. Billionaire. Control freak. Ice sculpture in a suit. Also-unfortunately-Josh's older half brother and the owner of the building Rory didn't mean to illegally occupy. When Julian bails her out and offers her a temporary apartment next to his penthouse, it's definitely not out of kindness. More like damage control.
Rory's chaos clashes with Julian's pristine world from the moment she moves in. She wears flying pizza pajama pants and pink bunny slippers. She names inanimate objects. Give them personalities. But the more time they spend sparring across elevators, hallways, and shared silences, the harder it gets to ignore the pull.
He's still reeling from a broken engagement to a high-society fiancée who traded him for a shinier Wall Street model. She's trying to convince herself that Josh wasn't just a stupid kiss with very stupid consequences. But in thirty days, they'll have to decide what this is: a temporary arrangement... or something they never saw coming.

How to Stay Out of Prison: A Modern-Day Woman's Guide
What do you get when lack of sleep turns you into a raving lunatic? The most embarrassing moment of your life. Lyrical Lyrical Rodgers lives a simple life. She manages a pet store, has a fantastic family, a great best friend (you only need one), and lives in the apartment of her dreams. Well, the dreams she can afford. The only dark spot in her rather happy life is her new neighbor. He's a jackass, parties all night, and has no regard for anyone other than himself. He's also sleeping with the building manager, so he's no help. Nixon Nixon St. James is successful, wealthy, good-looking, and comes from a great family. On paper, he's a fantastic catch. In person, he could benefit from a semester-or two-at charm school. A prominent architect and real estate developer, Nixon has it all...uh, his temper notwithstanding. Apart from his penchant for going off the rails every now and again, Nixon really has no complaints. When jumping to the wrong conclusion does its thing... After Lyrical unleashes weeks of sleep-deprived anger on her new neighbor, she heads over to her best friend's apartment (one floor above hers) and tells her all about it. However, as she goes into further detail, it starts to become clear that she may have cussed out the wrong person. After Nixon gets the verbal lashing of his life, he's not sure which issue to address first. How does he convince the angry spitfire that he's not gay, not straight pretending to be gay, or not gay and having an affair with his brother? I mean, he's been accused of a lot of things in life, but this? This is crazy. Good times. NOTE: This book contains adult language, adult situations, explicit sexual encounters, and an imaginary trip to Minneapolis.

He raised an eyebrow at me and smirked. What the hell. Have you ever wondered, what goes through someone's head? Yeah, me too. I swear he's insane. He slowly walked towards me and I kept walking backwards, until my back hit against the glass wall. He leaned forward, his lips grazed my ear and he whispered," I suggest you stay in line because you don't want to find out what I'm capable of." " Is that suppose to scare me?"

The Mutual Attraction (#3)
"I can't do this ! This is wrong !" she exclaimed loudly, trying to prove her point. "Miracle, I really don't have time for this. I am sure whatever was decided was decided for good. Now quit whinning like a baby and get to work. I don't want our professional lives to be clashing with our personal lives. The rest of the discussion on this topic can be completed at home." He said in an overly calm tone that sent chills down her spine. "Kayden ! How can you even agree to this marriage ? You don't even love me and you have a girlfriend already, for heaven's sake !" Miracle continued ignoring Kayden's demand. This wasn't right ! And she was going to prove it. She was going to make Kayden understand that there is no reason to put their lives on hold just because their parents thought they were perfect for each other. She didn't even feel anything for him other than a feeling of pure friendship. Kayden's giant figure looming over her brought her out of her thoughts. "My girlfriend can be discarded, Miracle. And once again, this discussion is over. Don't ignore my words, baby. I don't like to be ignored." His cool minty breath fanning her face and the fact that he had to literally squat down to whisper to her made her stomach do a weird flip. At that very moment, Miracle realised, that there might be a teeny tiny bit of a MUTUAL ATTRACTION between them. ************************************ This is the third installment in THE ATTRACTION series. To understand more about this story I suggest you read the second installation first. So you will know more about the characters. Other than that it can stand on it's own :) ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED !
