Friends & Fortune Cookies: A Sudden Falls Romance (24 page)

Temptation & Tequila

Never trust tequila on your birthday.

She loved him. She’d always loved him. And it took just one tipsy birthday kiss for him to shatter her heart. But horse vet Chloe Tremont doesn’t wrangle studs for a living only to let brooding hunk of a horse trainer Gray Kyleson to get the best of her. She’s got a plan, and Gray doesn’t stand a chance.

Never let temptation make you weak.

That birthday kiss should never have happened, and no one knows it more than Gray. Chloe Tremont’s family took him in when no one would have him, and he won’t do anything to betray their trust—especially when it comes to their daughter. But when a series of attacks on his horses force him seek help from the one woman who’s gotten under his skin—and into his heart—Gray worries that his tight control is slipping. And Chloe’s right there to take the reins.

Trouble in Sudden Falls

They say you can never go home.

But Maddie O’Callaghan doesn’t have much choice. When her freak of an ex-husband steals her job, her life and her sanity, Maddie finds herself with nowhere to go but back. Back to the small shop her mother is giving her six months to make profitable or she’ll be on the street again. Back to the town that abandoned her over her high-school mistakes. Back to her lifetime crush who turned her down. That last one was, admittedly, the worst, because Eli Redmond never turned any woman down. To have a chance with her, though, Eli knows he needs to clean up his womanizing ways and fast, since Maddie’s dead-set against trusting anyone as smooth-talking as Eli.

When Eli’s high-school girlfriend drops Rogan, the seventeen-year-old son he never knew he had, on his doorstep, his problems only seem to get worse. Rogan is distrustful of Eli’s attempts to build a friendship, and the boy is the closest thing to the Anti-Christ that Sudden Falls has ever seen.

Maddie wants to trust that Eli will do the right thing, Rogan’s trusting that he won’t and all Eli knows is that trusting his heart may just be the most dangerous gamble of all.

Blowing Jack's Cover

Jack Redmond is an ultra-alpha DEA agent who’s forced to abandon his testosterone-pickled ways, in order to go undercover as a gay bartender to expose a mob-led drug ring. His cover story becomes exceedingly difficult to maintain, however, when he meets his new boss, Marissa Vallatigno.

After years of stifling over-protectiveness by her family, Marissa owes everything to her uncle Nikola, who has given her the opportunity of a lifetime – managing his multi-million dollar bar and restaurant empire. Nothing – not her three interfering older brothers and definitely not a gorgeous, sexy bartender with questionable sexual orientation – is going to cause her to let her uncle down.

Jack knows that undercover work and relationships don’t mix. After all, he’s got the divorce to prove it. These days, he prefers spending time in the company of women who aren’t expecting anything from him but a good time. And good-girl Marissa wouldn’t fall into that category even if she didn’t think he was… gay.

But when Marissa discovers that he’s indeed straight as an arrow, and intent on bringing down her beloved (and innocent) Uncle Nikola, she puts together a deviously distracting plan that will have the tough guy agent begging for mercy – and eventually, winning her heart.
