书籍简介

规则很简单：不要碰他经纪人的女儿，不要惹麻烦。

但现在他只能和她在一起了。只有一张床。好吧，规则就是用来打破的。

瑞特·伊顿是职业骑牛的代表人物。金童玉女。至少在一次公开斗殴后，一切都败露之前，他都是如此。现在他的经纪人说他要洗刷自己的形象，并让瑞特在本赛季剩下的时间里作为“全职监督”和他那爱挑逗的女儿在一起。

但瑞特不需要一个该死的保姆——尤其是一个穿着紧身牛仔裤、带着性感笑容、嘴巴不停转的保姆。

一张他无法停止思考的嘴巴。

他很快就知道萨默·汉密尔顿不仅仅是另一个征服对象。她看到了面具后面的男人，她没有逃跑——她把他拉得更近，即使她不应该这么做。

她说这没什么意义。

瑞特说这意味着一切。

她说他们不应该越过界限。瑞特的名声不能再受到任何打击了……她受伤的心也不能再受到打击了。

瑞特说他无论如何都会偷走它。

为脾气暴躁的单身父亲当保姆应该很简单……但她无法将目光从他身上移开。他也无法将手从她身上移开。

凯德·伊顿比威拉·格兰特大 13 岁，他几乎不看她，尽管她夏天住在他家。直到一天晚上，她把他带进热水浴缸玩真心话大冒险游戏。然后，一切都结束了——他们的衣服也结束了。

凯德粗鲁，有点粗鲁，但宽肩的牧场主，满手老茧，满嘴脏话，是这个城市女孩的克星。那么她有什么资格拒绝呢？

但在他们安静的时刻，他变得温柔起来。正是他出人意料地照顾威拉，让她意识到他冷酷的外表只是一种假象。当她看到他和他的小儿子甜蜜相处时，她开始爱上他，无论结果如何。

有人曾经说服凯德，他尽了努力还不够好。但威拉从来没有像在他怀里那样感到被珍惜。

她的合同上说这种安排只持续两个月。

但她的心说这是永远的。

两个儿时好友。两颗破碎的心。一次即兴的公路旅行，逃离一切。一切本该如此。

对于 Jasper Gervais 的粉丝来说，他是电视上英俊、才华横溢的冰球万人迷。但对 Sloane 来说，他永远是那个眼神忧伤、心地善良的迷失男孩。

她一生都在暗恋着他。

所以，当她的生活在她本该嫁给别人的那一天崩溃时，他突然出现并拯救了她，这才是合情合理的。当他的世界崩塌时，她会回报他。

但他们独处的时间越长，Jasper 就越不再把她当朋友看待。他也没有像朋友一样抚摸她。这么多年过去了，他仍然是她想要的一切，她认为自己永远无法拥有的一切。

然而，他们的感情并不直接。他们把贾斯珀过去的痛苦和斯隆现在的现实扭曲了。

贾斯珀·热维斯可能表现得像是想要她。

但在多年拒绝她之后，他需要证明这一点。

他是个惹人厌烦的麻烦精，却又让人垂涎欲滴。他看着她，仿佛她是他的下一顿美餐。

西奥·席尔瓦。粗暴的骑牛者。臭名昭著的花花公子。温特·汉密尔顿很清楚他那样盯着她意味着什么。但她几乎已经摆脱了有毒的婚姻，并完全放弃了男人。所以当她回头看西奥时，她看到的只是诱惑和令人心碎的一面。这个男人很难信任——但事实证明，更难抗拒。

让这不可能。因为西奥很执着。无论温特如何努力将他拒之门外，他都会融化她冰冷的外表，瓦解她所有的防御。在小镇的酒吧里喝酒时，她发现自己脱口而出深、黑暗的秘密。然后，她和那个她从未想过会答应的男人度过了她一生中火热的夜晚。

他崇拜她的身体。他让她脸红。她在他的手下活了过来。然后她告诉他忘记这一切。她想要简单，而和他在一起一切都感觉很复杂。

这本该是一次性的事情。一个秘密。

但那个小小的加号会让这个秘密无法保守。

他不相信有人会因为她的姓氏而对她心怀不满……所以他把自己的姓氏给了她。

博·伊顿是镇上的王子，一位英俊的军事英雄，有着痛苦的过去。贝利·詹森是被抛弃的酒保，一个来自偏僻地区的害羞女孩。他三十五岁，是个十足的男人，而她二十二岁，是个……处女。

他也是她的未婚夫。更正：她的假未婚夫。

一开始是一场赌注，博要证明这一点。这是一个双赢的结果：博可以摆脱家人的窥探，贝利有机会摆脱家人的名声，同时她可以攒钱永远离开这个小镇。她所要做的就是戴上他的戒指，听从他的指挥，假装在公共场合无法不碰他。很简单，对吧？

但他们私下发生的事情模糊了所有这些精心划定的界限。关起门来发生的事情根本不像是假装的。订婚本来是做做样子。这份协议？它有一个结束日期。

博曾经告诉贝利，他永远不会坠入爱河。她决心让他改变主意。

The rules were simple: keep his hands off his agent's daughter and stay out of trouble.

But now he's stuck with her. There's only one bed. And well, rules are made to be broken.

Rhett Eaton is the face of professional bull riding. The golden boy. Or at least he was until it all blew up in his face after a public brawl. Now his agent says he has to clean up his image, and sticks Rhett with his ball-busting daughter for the rest of the season as "full-time supervision."

But Rhett doesn't need a damn babysitter―especially one with skin-tight jeans, a sexy smirk, and a mouth she can't stop running.

A mouth he can't stop thinking about.

And he quickly learns that Summer Hamilton isn't just another conquest. She sees the man behind the mask, and she doesn't run―she pulls him closer, even when she shouldn't.

She says this means nothing.

Rhett says this means everything.

She says there are boundaries they shouldn't cross. That Rhett's reputation can't take any more hits…and neither can her damaged heart.

Rhett says he's going to steal it anyway.

Working as a nanny for the world's grumpiest single dad should be simple…except she can't keep her eyes off him. And he can't keep his hands off her.

Cade Eaton is thirteen years older than Willa Grant, and he barely looks her way, even though she's living in his house for the summer. That is, until she gets him into the hot tub one night for a game of truth or dare. Then, all bets are off―and so are their clothes.

Cade is gruff, a little rough around the edges, but broad-shouldered ranchers with calloused hands and filthy mouths are this city girl's kryptonite. So who is she to resist?

But it's in their quietest moments together that he softens. It's in the unexpected way he takes care of Willa that she realizes his hardened exterior is just a façade. And it's when she watches him go all sweet with his little boy that she starts to fall for him, whatever the consequences.

Someone once convinced Cade that his best wasn't good enough. But Willa has never felt more cherished than she does in his arms.

Her contract says this arrangement is only for two months.

But her heart says this is forever.

Two friends. Two broken hearts. One impromptu road trip to get away from everything. That's all this was supposed to be.

To Jasper Gervais's fans, he's the handsome, talented hockey heartthrob on TV. But to Sloane, he'll always be the lost boy with the sad eyes and a heart of gold.

The man she's loved in secret all her life.

So when her life falls apart on the day she's supposed to marry someone else, it only makes sense that he's the one to swoop in and save her. And when his world comes crashing down around him, she's there to return the favor.

But the more time they spend alone, the more Jasper isn't looking at her like a friend anymore. He isn't touching her like one, either. And after all these years, he's still everything she's ever wanted, everything she thought she could never have.

Their feelings aren't straightforward, though. They twist and turn around the pain of Jasper's past and the reality of Sloane's present.

Jasper Gervais might act like he wants her.

But after years of turning her away, he's going to need to prove it.

He's scorching-hot trouble wrapped up in a drool-worthy package. And he's looking at her like she might be his next meal.

Theo Silva. Rowdy bull rider. Notorious ladies' man. Winter Hamilton knows exactly what it means when he eyes her like that. But she's almost free of her toxic marriage and has sworn off men entirely. So all she sees when she looks back at Theo is temptation served up with a heaping side of heartbreak. The man is hard to trust―but, it turns out, even harder to resist.

Make that impossible. Because Theo is persistent. And no matter how hard Winter tries to freeze him out, he melts her icy exterior and pulls apart all her defenses. Over a drink in a small-town bar, she finds herself blurting out her deepest, darkest secrets. Then, she spends the singular hottest night of her life with the man she never thought she'd say yes to.

He worships her body. He makes her blush. She comes alive beneath his hands. Then she tells him to forget it ever happened. She wants simple, and with him it all feels complicated.

It was supposed to be a one-time thing. A secret.

But that little plus sign is going to make this secret impossible to keep.

He doesn't believe that anyone holds her last name against her…so he offers her his.

Beau Eaton is the town prince, a handsome hero with a tortured past. Bailey Jansen is the outcast bartender, a shy girl from the wrong side of the tracks. He's thirty-five and all man, and she's twenty-two and all…

He's also her fiancé. Correction: her fake fiancé.

It starts out as a bet, a point for Beau to prove. And it's a win-win: Beau gets a break from his concerned family's prying, and Bailey gets a chance to shed her family's reputation while she saves up to ditch this small town for good. All she has to do is wear his ring, follow his lead, and pretend she can't keep her hands off of him in public. Easy enough, right?

But it's what happens between them in private that blurs all those carefully drawn lines. It's what transpires behind closed doors that doesn't feel like pretending at all. This engagement was supposed to be for show. This agreement? It has an end date.

Beau once told Bailey he'd never fall in love. She's determined to make him change his mind.
