“I love you.” She kissed him again before pulling away and refocusing on her gift. It was a bath set. Alex grinned. It wasn’t a surprise since they didn’t know each other that well.
“You’re going to be my sister now,” Reagan said from across the room.
Alex looked up and smiled. “That’s true.”
“I always wanted a sister.”
“Hey,” Grant protested.
“Only because I already had the perfect brother. I wished for a sister for a long time, one that I could be as close to as I was to you.” Reagan flashed him a smile.
“I’m honored that you view me as a sister, Reagan.” Alex wiped a tear from under her eye. “I never had siblings, myself.”
Reagan stood and Alex realized what she was doing, so she stood as well. Reagan met her in the middle of the room and pulled her into a hug.
“I can’t wait for you to marry my brother.”

If you want to read more from these couples, don’t miss the third book in the series. Davis (Thoroughly Educated, Book Three) is on pre-order now.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N7JW3KV
The third book in the Thoroughly Educated Series is provocative, uncensored, and downright mischievous.
He’s tried to win her affection for years, but he’s done with begging for her love.
Davis Healy is known around town as the poor little rich kid; a little spoiled but willing to be generous. He doesn’t know how to shrug off the reputation that he’s stuck-up and shallow.
Luna Moss is his one true love, having fallen head over heels in their first year of college. Now that they’re navigating the real world, Davis realizes that he might lose Luna to her coworker if he doesn’t act fast.
His suggestion of friends with benefits starts as a joke, but soon neither one of them is laughing.
She’s found passion in her teaching position, and he’s found drudgery in his parents’ company. His desire for her now exposed in a whole new way, Davis hopes he can convince Luna that he can give her what no one else can. If it happens to be in his office late at night, who will ever find out?

Hudson (Thoroughly Educated, Book One)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MLT6P22
The first standalone book in the Thoroughly Educated Series is steamy, explicit, and downright scandalous.
It never occurred to him that accepting help from a good Samaritan would end up threatening his job.
Hudson Clark is driving to a new town and can’t believe his bad luck when he blows a tire in a heavy storm. Thinking he’ll be stuck for the night, he’s extremely grateful when a young woman offers him a ride.
What he doesn’t know is that Reagan Hughes wants to start her new life as something other than the same old goody-two-shoes virgin. When Hudson can’t find an open tow company, he becomes the target of her plan to fix her dilemma.
He would never have expected what came next.
The next time they run into each other is a day neither will forget. Reagan’s new professor is her naughty one-night-stand, and their attraction for each other is forbidden. What’s a girl to do when what she craves is taboo?
Christmas Overnighted

Christmas will be canceled if he can’t pull off a miracle in a snowstorm.
Warren Kline thought getting a second job at the holidays would be easy, and it mostly was. As the new office delivery guy, he sees uptight, Christmas-hating Cora LeGrand every day. She’s brusque and efficient, and something about her makes Warren want to crack her tough shell by December twenty-fifth. His persistence and easy-going nature are close to winning her over, especially when he tells her he’s donating his salary to charity. At the last minute, a Nor’easter and Cora’s busy schedule threaten to ruin his plans. Will Warren be able to overnight Christmas to his new crush, or will the storm wreck their future happiness?
A feel-good Christmas story full of romance, sarcasm, humor, and love.

There’s something different about this one night stand.
Outgoing. Outrageous. Outspoken. These are all words Lillie King has had used to describe her. Not one to chase after any man, she’s not unhappy when circumstances keep bringing the sexy soldier her way. But when they lose contact after Fletcher is called back for yet another dangerous mission, she fears the worst. Is this the end?
