    About this ebook

    One night is not enough.

    He's the wounded hero, with nothing to lose. She's the curvy beauty who steals his heart. Opposites attract in this sweet and steamy second chance romance.

     

    TANNER

    Years of active military service have left me broken. Then I meet Gigi. The sweet curvy beauty breathes life into my wounded soul, but like Cinderella at the ball, she disappears at midnight. 

    Now that fate has brought her back to my life, I'll do whatever it takes to prove to her she belongs at my side.

     

    GIGI

    I'm at a party when I discover my boyfriend is a good for nothing cheat. A red-hot bearded beast of a man saves me from humiliation. Tanner also takes me to heights I never knew existed. The two of us are so different that we could never be more than a one-night stand.

     

    When my new in-home care patient turns out to be his neighbor, our lives collide. I do my best to resist the hot alpha man, but maybe he's right. Maybe we belong together. 

     

    Steamy short opposites attract steamy short romance between a wounded hero, and a curvy nurse. Low angst, high heat, no cliffhanger, with a steamy sweet happily ever after.

      GIGI

      NEW YEARS EVE

      "C an you please remind me why you brought me to a party in Shitsville, to see in the New Year again babe?" I ask, nudging my boyfriend Emmett in the ribs. If I bump him hard enough, I hope to dislodge the cell phone glued to his hand. He barely acknowledges my question with a shrug and continues to tap at his cell phone with both thumbs. The same thumbs I would prefer cradling my jaw while he kisses me passionately and promises good things for the new year.

      Clearly, I’ve spent too long standing in one spot fantasizing, because the reality of my situation is this. My heels are so high they make my lower back ache and I’m a stranger at a small-town party where everyone knows each other. The love of my life has introduced me to nobody, and I could forgive him, if he attempted to speak to me himself. But he hasn’t done that either because he is too absorbed in his screen. 

      A tickle of Bruce Banner style rage builds up inside me which is unlike me. I am usually an easy-going kinda gal.

      What are you snorting and huffing for Gigi? It’s fine, go dance or something. Look, there’s some girls dancing over there, why don’t you go join them? He eye points, before lowering his gaze to his phone again.

      I’m about to lose my shit but keep my voice low enough so that only he can hear it.

      Emmett, I don’t want to dance with strangers. What I want is for my boyfriend to pay me some attention on New Year’s Eve. Or at least share what’s so fascinating that you can’t spend any time with me?

      Emmett’s expression is mildly pissed before he corrects himself with a half-smile. He draws me into his embrace and rubs my back. I wanted it to be a surprise for you Gigi, but you seem mad. He looks at me in a way that makes me second guess my actions. Have I been unreasonable?

      The reason, he says, looking deep into my eyes and making me feel slightly gooey, I’m on my phone is that I’m at a live auction for a special surprise. For you. I didn’t want to spoil the surprise, but I have to keep bidding, or I’ll miss out.

      My lower jaw drops as I struggle to comprehend. We’ve been together for two years and in that time, he’s never been great at giving gifts. I just assumed he wasn’t a creative gift giver. I mean, his recent Christmas gift to me was a drugstore perfume. I forgave him and just dealt with it, but could this be something more?

      I gasp as realization dawns on me. A big gift? An online auction? Could it be? Oh my! Before my imagination runs away from me, I pop a kiss on his lips.

      I forgive you Emmett! Sorry babe, I just feel like an oddball standing here. Just remind me why we’re here? Who do you know here? I ask, eyeing a room full of strangers, all getting super cozy with each other. Maybe you can introduce me to the host, and I can meet some people through them? I don’t want to spend the entire evening standing alone on what should be a fun night.

      Emmet smiles at me, then raises his arm to greet a tall, hairy Viking wearing black motorcycle leathers, who is pushing his way through the crowd towards us. The Viking grins and pulls Emmett into a tight hug, while slapping him hard enough on the back to make him cough. He yells something incomprehensible and guides Emmett into the crowd. My eyes bore into the ground, willing a giant sinkhole to open up at my feet and consume me.

      I sweep the room searching for a friendly face as Emmett’s cell phone vibrates and lights up with a message. He must have placed it on the
