Sex & Bonds

Brooks Huntley is the last guy on earth I should ask to take my virginity. He's a decade older than me. Lethally hot. And so far out of my league it's not even funny. The biggest downside to my plan, though? Brooks is my older brother's best friend. I see Brooks every day when I deliver muffins to his office. With his swaggering confidence and sexy smirk, it's no wonder I've always had a crush on him. But I'm not looking to cause any trouble-at first. I just want to give my V-card a long-overdue swipe. Too bad I have no game when it comes to picking up guys-but Brooks is a master at charming the pants off women. While Brooks himself is off-limits, who better to study for tips on how to get laid? When he offers me a weekend away at a five-star resort as thanks for satisfying his sweet tooth, I say yes-with the caveat that he comes too. That way I can watch him in action. He counters with a caveat of his own: he'll come, but my brother can never find out. On our secret getaway, I do my best to learn from Brooks and take someone new home. But I fail so miserably that Brooks steps in and kisses me "to show me how it should be done." And can I tell y'all, I just melted. Now can I convince him to show me how everything should be done?

Roping horses leads to riding cowboys in this sexy friends-to-lovers, fake-dating, lessons-in-seduction romance by Jessica Peterson. Wyatt Rivers is the perfect no-strings hookup-a cowboy Casanova who rocks a Stetson, looks smokin' hot in his Wranglers, and never rests his head on the same pillow twice. He's exactly what I'm looking for. If only Wyatt wasn't also my best friend... I'm back in my hometown of Hartsville, Texas, for a few months while I wait for my dream job to start thousands of miles away. While I'm here, I hope to end an epic dry spell in the bedroom, preferably with a local cowboy. If the rumors are true, they really do ride harder and stay on longer. Wyatt and I have been best friends since second grade, and I've been in love with him for almost as long. But he's as wild and untamed as a colt that can't be broken-not to mention, totally out of my league with his good looks and heartbreaker reputation. Then I get to thinking: since Wyatt is such an expert, why doesn't he teach me the ropes of how to find a hookup? He begrudgingly agrees, and a little fake flirting suddenly leads to fake dating, which leads to real kissing, which leads to real...well, everything else. And let me just say, the rumors are absolutely true. Now, I want so badly to be Wyatt's last rodeo. But I'm leaving town, and even if I wasn't, I'm not sure Wyatt would ever change his playboy ways. I know cowboys can't be tamed. Apparently, neither can hearts... WYATT is an interconnected standalone novel in the Lucky River Ranch series.
