The man’s from across the lake; the cocky, arrogant, and completely irresistible Knox Wellington-- one who isn't used to hearing the word no. She's running; he's chasing, and it's one hell of a relay. Inevitably, as most Wellingtons do, he breaks down her barriers and raises her temperature higher than any heat index. They embark on a carefree, no strings affair that intensifies the flames of their passion with every passing day.
What's meant to be a summer fling turns into so much more, but even the most relentless inferno eventually burns out, leaving nothing but ashes and destruction in its wake.
Life may tear them apart, but even hundreds of miles away and months apart, Knox can't forget the beautiful brunette who set his soul on fire, consuming his every waking thought until he has to seek her out. When he returns, he's in for the surprise of his life.
About to face the ultimate test, Knox must decide... can he stand the heat?
Yeah. Rock fucking hard.
“It’s 1980, sweetheart. Women are allowed to make the first move, ya know?” I shouldn’t egg her on, but it’s too damn hard not to.
A cute little grin spreads across her face, and she treats me to an exaggerated eyeroll. “Noted. And I’ll remember that for the next guy.”
Yeah, not a fan of that. Not fucking at all.
“Amelia…” The word is practically a growl, and it’s suddenly my mission to fuck the thought of any other man out of her.
“Don’t Amelia me! Do you know how hard it’s been not to roll over on the couch and mount you every night this week? You’ve been toying with me, I swear. Every time you graze my bare skin, chills course throughout my whole body. My lady parts get all tingly, my heart beats like its Pete Charles closin’ out ‘Black Betty,’ and just the thought of you doing something—anything—gets me so damn excited. Except you’ve done practically nothing. I can’t even touch my damn self because it’s not the same as it being you! So please, do something about it or else I’m going to combust!”
I’m trying not to grin from her tirade, but it’s impossible. She’s agitated and it’s fucking cute. So I tell her.
“Fuck, you’re cute.”
“Oh my god, you make me want to tear my hair out!”
“Still fucking cute.”
“Arg!”
I’m tired of talking. Amelia’s been a good, patient girl, and it’s time she got her reward.
I’m up the steps, two at a time, in record speed. Amelia lets out a shriek when I bend down, scoop her up, and carry her back to her house. She pushes the door open wider from in my arms, and I kick it closed behind us. I don’t put her down until we’re in her bedroom. My hand comes down to brush a lock of hair off her cheek. Then I take it in my palm. Her breath is ragged even though I’m the one who raced through her house like a madman.
“You still wanna mount me, babe?”
Emerald eyes widen. A smooth, pink tongue wets gorgeous, plump lips.
“Yeah, you do. Don’t worry. You’ll have your turn soon enough.”

It's the summer of 1980, and a sweltering heat wave plagues much of the South. To get over a recent breakup and find some much-needed cooling down, Amelia Halloway escapes the city to spend the next three months at her grandparent's secluded lake house. Even though she craves the isolation, it doesn't last long thanks to an irritatingly handsome intruder.

$2.99 for a limited time!!
They currently reside just outside of Dayton, OH with two adorably grumpy cats. If she’s not writing or scouring through tons of photos of hot men, all in the name of research, then you can probably find her curled up with her Kindle, ignoring the rest of the world. She loves her sports almost as much as she loves her books. Her other obsessions include red wine, hot men, rock music, and all things Corey Taylor.

Oh my Fucking god how can she leave me like that? What have I ever done to Tessa to deserve a teaser like that? And when the fuck am I getting Ava’s story?
I can't recommend it enough this really has been an incredible series.
4.5 Sweet Kisses
It's no secret I am a complete bookwhore for a single father, throw in a sexy soldier with a smoking hot accent and dirty words in another language and I am head over heels in lust. And after meeting Lily and Xavier in Incinerate I was dying to get the story of Xavier and from that first introduction we were teased with snips of him and Kalli ever since and each little piece made me more and more desperate to have them all wrapped up in a ready made perfect family.
Xavier loved and he loved hard. His daughter was his sole focus for 10 years so it's easy to see the perfect man he is and the amazing husband he could be if only he would let himself trust and feel and let Kalli in.
We know going in that there isn't much Kalli won't do for this beautiful family and she doesn't pause to think on the repercussions for herself when she dives in headfirst to help them.
And although it took Xavier a while to finally come to grips with the fact he loved Kalli and to let his 50 feet high steel walls down we knew there was never any doubt how he felt for her and he never failed to make her feel special and cared about.
If you haven't yet read this series don't just add it to the pile to be read eventually go out and grab them all today and fall in love with these 4 perfect soldiers and their amazing women and families. And if like me you have read them all don't wait to dive into The Wellingtons Series.
