Daddy's Best Friend (The Forbidden Attraction)
Lydia Hall
$0.99

I forced myself to forget about Alan… the man who was not only my father’s best friend, but also my new boss.

Resisting my urges to jump into bed with a hot older man only led to trouble.

The more I ran from my feelings, the closer I felt to Alan.

He was aware of my secret – the filthy things that excited me.

But the secret we had to hide from the world continued to get more complicated.

I kept thinking that I still had time to get out.

It was only when I missed my period that I saw my future flash before my eyes.

I was about to lose not only my father’s trust, but also my job.

Those two pink lines came with two choices…

Hide the news and disappear, or be honest with Alan and have my heart broken.

The chemistry between him and Audra threatens to combust, but the darkness within her may give the enemy its chance. Even if he can save her, can he trust her?

Protecting Piper
Cynthia Eden
FREE

She was off-limits.

Eric Wilde has always known that Piper Lane isn’t for him. She is his younger brother’s best friend…and probably more. But that hasn’t stopped Eric from wanting her, from longing for the one woman that he can’t have. Sure, he’s rich, successful—he’s built a security empire, and he’s got the world at his feet. Only he doesn’t have her.

He is the one man she needs the most.

Free-spirited Piper Lane has always considered Eric to be the enemy. He’s seemed to resent her, and the guy just flat-out makes her nervous. Every time she’s around him, she winds up doing something horribly embarrassing. But, this time…everything has changed. This time, he’s the one man she needs the most.

Something is stalking Piper.

A stranger has broken into Piper’s home twice, and she feels like someone is following her. Watching her every move. She needs a professional to help her—so enter Eric Wilde. He promises her protection, he promises to put his best investigators on her case, and he even moves her into his house. Suddenly, the guy who has always been the villain in her life…he’s now playing the role of hero.

Everything will change as the danger mounts.

And maybe Eric isn’t so bad, after all. The more time that Piper spends with him, the more she realizes that her feelings for Eric are far more complicated that she ever imagined. Desire explodes between them even as the danger deepens around her. Someone in the dark is targeting Piper, and he is determined that if he can’t possess her…then he will destroy her.
