Katherine “Kit” Kensington is twenty years old and has never been on a date. As the daughter of a successful and wealthy hotelier, she is overprotected, constantly surrounded by her personal security detail, and doesn’t get to meet many new people. Her father has an idea. Kit can put herself up for bid at his hotel’s annual Valentine’s Day Charity Auction. That way, she can have her first date at the hotel bar with someone fully vetted, while being under the watchful eye of her guards at the same time. Win-win? It’s anything but. Kit’s world is turned upside-down when possessive billionaire Maxwell Armstrong enters the room. He doesn’t just want to buy Kit’s heart - he wants to own it. So he strides toward her, pulls her against his chest, gives the event organizer a blank check, and tells Kit no other man is allowed to bid on her heart. Only catch? Mr. Armstrong is looking for more than just a date… He’s looking for forever. _It’s an insta-love V-Day! We’ve got a date auction, a billionaire with a secret, a curvy, sweet young lady, a swanky hotel, an old motel, and cuddling up with your one and only during a slasher flick (the only way to watch slasher flicks). Enjoy this fun, sweet and steamy little treat. Each book in the “The One and Only” series is a standalone and the books can be read in any order. Happy Valentine’s Day! xx, Lauren_

Benjamin Mathis is career-focused, fiercely disciplined, and hung up on only one woman: his lifelong friend’s college-aged daughter, the innocent, spirited and off-limits Elizabeth Marsau. For the past year, he’s kept up with her via her hobby travel blog, “All My Love.” And for the past year, he’s regretted not making his feeling known when he had the chance. Elizabeth has been given the gift of a lifetime for her twenty-first birthday: a trip to Paris, the place she’s been infatuated with all her life. But when she runs into trouble on the day of her arrival, she turns to the one person she knows will help her out - her long-time crush, Benjamin. And when her solo Paris adventure turns into a week at Benjamin’s house, she realizes her feelings are much more than just a crush. When opportunity and fate collide, Benjamin will stop at nothing to claim Elizabeth as his own - no matter the distance between them or the odds against them. _This is a steamy, sweet, short instalove read with an HEA. Each book in the "The One and Only" series is a stand-alone and the books can be read in any order. Happy Reading! xx, Lauren_
