BrennaThere are some people in life who know exactly how to push your buttons. For me, it’s Rye Peterson. We can’t spend more than ten minutes together before we’re at each other’s throats, which makes working together that much harder. Rye is the bassist for Kill John, the biggest rock band in the world, and I am his publicist. It doesn’t help that the man is gorgeous, funny, talented, and…never takes anything seriously. Avoidance is key.But everything changes when he overhears something he shouldn’t: a confession made in a moment of weakness. Now the man I’ve tried so hard to ignore is offering me the greatest temptation of all—him.RyeBrenna James is the one. The one I can’t have. The one I can’t get out of my mind. Believe me, I’ve tried; the woman loathes me. I managed well enough—until I heard her say she’s as lonely as I am. That she needed to be touched, held, satisfied. And I could no longer deny the truth: I wanted to be the one to give her what she craved.I convinced her that it would just be physical, mutual satisfaction with nothing deeper. But the moment I have her, she becomes my world. I’ve never given her a good reason to trust me before. Now, I’ve got to show Brenna that we’re so much better together than we ever were apart.Things are going to get messy. But getting messy with Brenna is what I do best.

Stella Connor's to do list: Don't get fired from my job (the one that I'm not qualified for). Find a place to live that isn't my friend's couch. Eat more vegetables--marzipan shaped like carrots doesn't count. Evade my mother. Think of unicorns instead of Mason Drake's arms. Because that will just lead to thinking of other parts of his body. My mother always said a good to-do list is the foundation of every successful woman. But since she also said that if you just throw enough money at a problem it will go away, I'm not sure how solid her advice is. I guess I'm about to find out since I cut ties with my family and have no money left to throw at anything. Something else I'm beginning to figure out: Mason Drake isn't at all who I thought he was. This enemies-to-lovers romcom is the second book in the Some Call It Series and can be read as a standalone.

Then he finds out the sexy dynamo is Alyssa Miles, notorious party girl and darling of the gossip rags. It's time to walk away and never look back, which would be a hell of a lot easier if his agency didn't desperately need the high-profile gig her family's offering: a minor detail that consists mainly of Derek watching Alyssa 24/7. Keeping an eagle eye on every inch of Alyssa's nubile body isn't exactly a hardship--the problem is keeping his hands off and his brain on when things go dangerously wrong. . .
