alternate cover edition of ASIN B088P6KGMJ Rule #1: Do not sleep with your best friend Rule #2: If you sleep with your best friend, sneak out like a thief in the night and hop a plane to another continent to avoid embarrassment Rule #3: Once safely on another continent, do not answer your phone, text messages, or email. In fact, you should burn them all Rule #4: Pretend that night and your entire friendship never existed and start a whole new life Rule #5: Do not, under any circumstances, return to the scene of the crime… I have kept these five simple, totally reasonable rules for the last six months, focusing all my energy on my new job at Vector Racing. A full Atlantic Ocean away from Hunter Holland and my great big terrible mistake. I would rather end our friendship than face being friend-zoned by the handsome shortstop with magical hands that gave me a night I’ll never forget. (Seriously, I didn’t know that could be so good… \shivers\) But now I’m in very real danger of breaking Rule #5. My boss is dragging me back across the ocean for a meeting with the Mantas where I’ll be forced to hide in the shadows and creep around every corner just in case Hunter isn’t with the team in Seattle. Which of course he will be. Why wouldn’t he? \\\* No one knows Tilley Villanueva better than I do. Which is why I’m not mad she ghosted me after the best night of my life. I know she’s freaking out and probably has a whole set of rules she created to help deal. She’s cute like that. That’s why I made my own set of rules. The only way to fight fire is with fire. One of these days I’m going to get Tilley alone again, and when I do, all bets are off. \*Naked is a crossover novella containing characters and places from The Storm Inside and Wild Pitch series. You do not have to read these series to enjoy Naked!

Two weeks. No strings.With Adam Callaway I thought I’d found the perfect fling. He was great in bed and only in town for a few hot nights.There was no way I could have known Adam wouldn’t be satisfied with just sex. My craving for his body made me careless. I broke my rules. I let him in. I never thought two weeks could change everything. All I wanted was an escape, what I got was so much more.Something I couldn’t live without once I had it.

48 hours. Everything to lose. I wasn't the marrying kind until I met Adam Callaway. He tricked me into a fling that he knew very well would end up in forever (not that I'm complaining.) From that very first dark foyer he's made it his mission to keep me satisfied in every way. Moving, settling down, marriage—none of that changed the passion that drove us. Until someone put a price on Adam's head.

Fast. Volatile. Gorgeous. Those are the words they used to describe Kingston Reynolds on the first day of my internship. Well, it wasn't so much of a description as it was a warning. Do not fraternize with the drivers if you want to keep your job. It was a rule I had no problem following. I never saw King. He was a God of racing while I worked at the factory with a public relations team of incompetents. That was until I found myself the center of his fast, volatile, gorgeous attention. On the circuit he's known as the King of Wands because he's incredibly focused on winning...unless you cross him. Then he's as ruthless and cunning as a real life villain. The more time I spend with him the more I discover he's earned his name well. I shouldn't want to be with a man like him. They warned me to stay away. And yet here I am, playing with fire and hoping I won't get burned. \*King of Wands is part of the Cards of Love series of books featuring 32 different authors and stories connected to the tarot deck. \\King of Wands is a stand alone 25k word romance featuring all new characters in the world of the Tease Series. It connects directly into Tease through Adam and Elizabeth, who play an important role in this new story!

In Tease we fell in love with Adam Callaway right along with Elizabeth. In Crave we see the world, and Elizabeth, through Adam’s eyes… “I crave success and intimacy in equal measure. My desire to have those things is the fire that drives me each and every day.” I spend my days buried in cars and my nights in Elizabeth. A guy couldn’t ask for more. I was happy with things the way they were until the corruption gripping my sport hit far too close to home. Out of my fear for Elizabeth’s safety, and with the help of my own overblown ego, I’ve decided to do something crazy: start my own team. For some reason I believe I can save the sport. It’s either that or walk away from it forever. Because the one thing I won’t ever let go of is Elizabeth. Our relationship is so much more than explosive chemistry. It’s the passion that fuels everything I do...and I will never allow anyone to put her in danger ever again, no matter the consequences.

Never date a race car driver. They strap themselves into a death rocket over and over again and think it's normal. I found King's focus and determination alluring at first (and okay, maybe the sense of danger was exciting too.) But a year working side by side, watching him cheat death over and over again, has taken a toll. We're not happy and I don't have the stamina to stand by and watch as someone I care about risks their life. I want to walk away from racing and from King to save my selfish heart, but instead of flying home from the last race of the season to pack up my life and move on, I wind up stranded. Alone with a man determined to prove love conquers all.
