Dirty Farmer

It was a heat-of-the-moment agreement scribbled onto the back of a crinkled gas station receipt nine years ago.
"If neither of us are married by age 30, we'll marry each other."

Haha! So funny!

Cash moved to a city 500 miles away. Building his billion-dollar empire. Making a name for himself.
Me? I stayed in our gossipy hometown. Working a simple job. Living a simple life.
And we never discussed the marriage pact again.

But I just turned the big three-oh.
And Cash showed up at my door, in the middle of a freaking rainstorm.
Tall, muscled and soaking wet.
With a birthday cake in his hand and a daring smirk that says he means business.

Holy plot twist! Didn't see that coming!

Now the small town rumor mill is in overdrive.
Cash is dissolving my defences with those sexy half-smiles he saves just for me.
And my brain is exploding with what ifs...

What if we give this a shot?
What if we're crazy enough to try?
What if we're good together?

We've always been 'just friends'. We're experts at playing it safe.
But his skin on my skin leaves me reeling. His oh-so-fiery kisses melt my excuses.
I know our decade-plus friendship is on the line. But I'm aching to see Cash's wild side.

When I went back to that dingy motel room with the tempting stranger from the bar, I had no idea that he was my older brother’s best friend. And my soon-to-be roommate.

I’m Karli Brighton, reigning Queen of Epic Screw-Ups.
With twelve med school rejection letters burning a hole in my back pocket, I’m back in my quirky hometown for the summer. Grumpy and shame-faced, I’m not exactly in the mood to make new friends.

Having a wild one-night stand with the charming pretty boy I meet at a local bar to feel better about myself? Probably not the smartest idea.
But in the morning when I crawl out of his sweaty motel sheets, I take comfort in knowing that I’ll never see the gorgeous stranger again.

Until he strolls into my family home one hour later.
Suitcases in hand. Shock painted on his perfect face.
Gasoline, meet Dumpster Fire. Ka-boom!!

The mystery man is my brother’s best friend. He just moved to town to help out with my family’s medical clinic.
Dr. Walks-Around-In-His-Bath-Towel is off-limits to me. But now, he's staying in the bedroom across the hallway.
Just my luck.

Mason and I are at a stalemate.
I need a place to lick my wounds while I figure out my next move.
He needs a roof over his head while he builds a new life for himself.
We each have so much to lose. Especially if my brother discovers our secret.

So we both promise to keep our hands to ourselves.
Lines are drawn in the sand. House rules are signed in ink.
The bathroom schedule is sealed with a handshake.

This won’t be so bad. Right…? Maybe…?
We’ll see.

But then our ‘snarky banter’ leads to 'heated kisses’ leads to ‘more’…Yikes. We’re headed for disaster.

Dirty Forever

Mistake #1: Thinking I could be ‘just friends’ with Dr. Heartbreak.
Mistake #2: Believing I could let him swipe my V-Card without falling in love.
But giving him my heart would be my biggest mistake of all.

I have no business getting involved with Felix Brighton.
I’ve seen the way he moves through our small town.
With his playful smiles, his hypnotic eyes and his easygoing charm, women are all over him with every step he takes.

Meanwhile, I’m just sweet, quiet Daphne Beaumont…
Just his younger sister’s best friend…
Just the girl he’s barely ever noticed…

Until I somehow end up in more trouble than I can handle.
And Felix makes it his duty to swoop in and save the day.

He should be focused on taking over his father’s medical practice. But all he seems to do is focus on me.
I should be busy preparing for the grand opening of my vintage clothing shop. But all I seem to think about is when I’ll run into him again.

Because I’ve noticed the way he’s been looking at me lately.
Now, I’m curious for a little taste.

But that one itty, bitty kiss explodes into a five-alarm fire that lands us both in loads of smokin’ hot trouble.
That’s how we end up fake-engaged and scrambling to save his dad's medical center.
That’s how we end up sleeping under the same roof.

Welp. We might as well make the most of a bad situation, right?
And what could be more fun than one toe-curling, cherry-popping, V-Card swiping night in Felix’s bed?

Of course, we can handle it. We’re ‘just friends’, after all.
Plus, I have a list of strict rules to make sure I don’t fall in love.

Except, Felix starts falling for me. Hard and fast.
And with every hot touch and every sweet kiss, he’s dragging me right along with him.

I won’t give him my heart, though.
I mean—I call him ‘Dr. Heartbreak’ for a reason.
Too bad he’s already got my heart in his back pocket. And it’s already shattered in two.
