Josie No matter what I do in life, it will never be good enough for my family. It’s not until my killjoy older brother calls to tell me that I have to stop spending his money and get a real job that I realize I have no direction in life. But then I meet my new boss. Ben Talbot is sexy, serious, and a control freak in the boardroom and the bedroom. As we spend time together, I get to know more about myself and the things that are actually important. Instead of looking to others for approval, can I create a life that’s good enough for me? Ben As the face of Talbot Investments, it’s my responsibility to maintain a certain professional image. That’s why I run my business and my life with an iron fist. At least, until my friend’s little sister comes to work for me and turns my world upside down. Josie Kline is wild, curvy, and needs someone to show her who’s boss. And I think I might be just the guy for the job, but only if I can loosen up enough to make space for her in my life.

Tess Life has thrown me for a loop. Normally, I’ve got everything handled, but this time—between quitting school, moving in with my mom, and my stepdad’s terminal illness—I’m scrambling to keep things together. When I get a job at a company in my field, it feels like something is finally going right. That and the attention from my ruggedly sexy coworker… or is he my boss? Either way, he provides a bit of pleasure in the midst of all this struggle. But is he just a temporary diversion or can I trust him with my heart? Rand I always knew I’d be wealthy. Going from trailer park kid to successful business owner should have fulfilled my every dream. But now that I’m here, life feels kind of empty. Until my new employee shows up with hope in her heart and pain in her eyes. She’s smart, curvy, and deserves to be worshipped like the goddess she is. Now, I just have to convince her that I’m here for the long run.

Nina I never got to go to college because my family needed money for my little sister’s cancer treatment. That was the start of putting myself last and putting my family first, which is also how I end up auctioning myself off at a fundraiser. When my boss makes the winning bid, I can’t help but wonder if it’s just professional courtesy or if he is interested in something more. Tobias Kline is sexy, demanding, and makes me feel like I’m someone special. When life gets crazy, can I say no to my family and finally put myself first? Tobias I’ve always been the responsible older sibling, putting in long hours and taking care of the family business. My latest required appearance is at a date auction. I have no intention of participating, but when my long-time office assistant appears on the stage, I know I’m not letting her go home with anyone else. Nina Rodriguez is curvy, smart, and makes me want to have fun for the first time in a long time. At this point in my life, maybe it’s time to change my priorities.

Sloane I’ve always preferred company of the four-legged variety. They’re full of love and they let me be myself—that’s why I’m going to school to be a veterinarian. When I end up working for my brother's friend during the summer, I don’t expect to be cleaning Maximillian Hawthorne’s toilets. He’s wealthy, pretentious, and a serious pain in the horse’s butt. Too bad when I get to know my sexy boss, he makes me want to purr. But am I willing to share my heart with more than just my animal friends? Maximillian I’ve always had plenty of money. And people have always tried to take it from me, either in business ventures, networking events, or questionable investments. That’s why I’m immediately suspicious of my new personal assistant. Sloane is selfless, gorgeous, curvy, and too good to be true. When I realize that her beauty is more than skin deep, everything changes. Now, I just have to show her that we—and the animals—belong together. WARNING: Only read this book if you like a hero who acts like an ass, but has a very hidden heart of gold.
