Mystery writer, Kara Keaton, moved to small town Stonebridge to start her life over after her husband's death. Between writing, renovating the hundred-year-old home she purchased, and trying to figure out how to keep the plants in her greenhouse alive, she stays busy. But not so busy that she doesn't enjoy her daily visits to the Plumber's Pub where the cheer of the town rings long and loud. And it certainly isn't a hardship to watch the stoic and sexy Ben Roberts behind the bar.

The steadiest of the siblings, Ben's love and pride in being part of his family's pub is palpable. He's a straight-shooter--when it's important--with a strong stature and golden eyes that show darker hints of what runs deep within him. And from the day he meets the mysterious Kara, he's a man who knows what he wants. He just hasn't found a way into her world. Yet.

With a spring storm barreling through the quaint New England town, Kara begins to let down her guard, and starts to understand that her heart truly is ready to love again.

SPECIAL NOTE TO READERS: Each book in the One Night Collection is a standalone novella, featuring new characters with a story all their own, that takes place over the course of one night. The exception to this is One Summer Night which features a fun roundup of all the main characters in the collection as they come together for a fabulous Fourth of July celebration.

Sophia is sat in a bar with only a large glass of wine for company, quietly nursing a broken heart. When a charismatic stranger approaches her, he's not only confidently funny, smart and intriguing... he's undeniably attractive. That night, for the first time in a very long while, Sophia feels womanly and wanted. This mysterious stranger not only makes her laugh, he ignites something within the very unwanted parts of herself. He ignites something that makes her willingly want to go against all that she thinks she is. ~ Cade Lapley is a ruthless barrister: equally so in his personal life. He is suave, sophisticated and wealthy, with emotional baggage almost as big as his oversized ego. When he meets the just dumped, Sophia Hale, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her. He is feeling something, and Cade Lapley just doesn't do feelings of any kind. Yet somehow, this lost-looking woman ignites something within him; a place that has been dark and uncaring ever since he was a little boy. He knows he is playing with an emotional fire, and will more than likely only get his fingers badly burnt. Yet still, Cade finds himself unable to leave this woman alone. He knows he should. Not only for Sophia's sake, but more selfishly for his. Only, he can't. One man. One woman. Together.... Ignitable. ***DOES CONTAIN SWEAR WORDS & SCENES OF INTIMATE AND GRAPHIC NATURE*** IGNITABLE Published by K B Mallion Copyright © 2017 K B Mallion
