As I search for a fresh start, a friend convinces me to move to his small town. Considering I don’t have a place to live, his little sister offers me her spare room. She’s every man’s dream—witty, down to earth, and gorgeous as hell—too bad she’s off-limits. Unspoken words and stolen glances have me eager to please her in all the forbidden ways. My broken past makes it hard to open up, however, she inspires me to face my demons and be the man she deserves. I shouldn’t fantasize about my roommate, but it’s impossible when Everleigh’s sleeping next to me—her lips whispering my name. FORCING YOU AWAY is book 1 in the Archer & Everleigh duet and must be read first.

I never imagined my new roommate would be the man I’d actually fall for. Though I don’t get close to the people I sleep with, he’s been my exception. Archer acts emotionally unavailable while he focuses on starting over, but our connection is too strong to ignore. He’s rugged on the outside and sweet on the inside—the opposite of my usual type. I see the way his eyes gaze up and down my body, making it harder to keep my feelings in check. Knocking down his walls is no easy task, especially with my brother interfering, but I refuse to give up. When lines are crossed and emotions bubble over, trouble finds us. We both have pasts that have leaked into our present—now I’m scared it’ll destroy the one secret we’ve been keeping. WANTING YOU CLOSE is book 2 in the Archer & Everleigh duet and must be read in order.

Archer needs a change of scenery and is convinced to move to a small town in Alabama. He doesn’t have a place to live, so his best friend’s little sister offers her spare room. Soon after meeting one another, it’s obvious their attraction and connection are too strong to ignore. Everleigh’s every man’s dream—witty, down to earth, and gorgeous as hell—but she’s also off-limits to everyone, especially Archer. Unspoken words and stolen glances have them ready to cross the line, regardless of the surrounding disapproval. She finds it impossible to keep her feelings buried when they sleep wrapped in each other’s arms every night. Eventually, Everleigh breaks down his walls and Archer refuses to keep denying her. He’s tired of forcing her away but also doesn’t want to betray his friend. After they admit their true feelings and decide to try and make it work, trouble finds them. Archer refuses to let anyone or anything stand in the way of their happiness—regardless if he could lose it all—because Everleigh’s a risk worth taking. The Archer & Everleigh duet includes Forcing You Away & Wanting You Close. Suggested for mature readers only.
