With Grady around, I can't turn off my mind or my body. He's decided to set me straight on the past and rewrite our future. I'm in more trouble than I ever thought possible. Hate Sex Love – Lust The line between the two is thin. Love – Hate The line is almost invisible. Teo is everything I ever wanted and just enough of a dickhead to keep me away. Kota drives me wild with frustration and need. When we get together it’s an explosion of mixed emotions, desires, needs, and unspoken history. What happens when lust collides with hate? Like a high-wire performer we walk the tightrope with no net to catch us. What happens when we fall? Bangin’ My brother's best friend. No scratch that, my brother's sexy as sin best friend.

When he's at my bar, Knuckles, the opportunity is there, I just need the courage to go after my every fantasy. Sanders can have any woman he wants. Tonight's the night I want to be the one he's bangin'. Love Heals Loss, no one feels it harder than Ainsley at the moment. Sitting at the Chicago Bears game, all she can think about is the empty seat next to her. When it gets filled by her brother’s friend, she finds love just might heal. *These four short stories were previously published individually either by themselves or in anthologies.*
