first.” She started down the stairs, fighting the urge to steal one more glance at his body. “And you probably won’t have much hot water when it warms up, so I suggest you bathe quickly.”

“No problem,” she said. “Don’t worry about it.”
She’d completely forgotten to ask him about how he’d gotten in.
When she reached the first floor, the air whooshed out of her lungs and her legs wobbled. She nearly collapsed against the wall, laughing from her body’s reaction to this man. He oozed raw sex appeal.

She had steadfast rules about these things: no sleeping with guests. It never panned out well. Single men who stayed at the inn had propositioned her more times than she could count.

From the back cover of Crazy in Love:
Historical inn owner Rachael McCoy has one simple rule: Don’t date guests. Ever.
After having her heart broken by a string of sweet-talking visitors, Rachael has learned her lesson. But when dangerously sexy rock star Cole Turner rolls into town and rents every room in her hotel, she starts to rethink her rule. Cole’s a rumored playboy with a sordid past, yet his touch is sinfully sweet…
Rock star and self-proclaimed sex god Cole Turner lives by a simple decree: There are no rules in love or rock and roll.
One week after botching his performance in Houston, Cole needs a quiet place to regain focus. All he wants to do is lay low and nail his two-concert show outside of Blue Lake, though a hot and heavy fling with the seductive innkeeper wouldn’t hurt. But the stubborn little vixen denies his advances, and the more he gets to know her, the more he’s determined to make her his.
As desire flames into something more intense, will the two unlikely lovers be able to bridge a gap to happy ever after.

All he needs is a good woman…
Blazingly handsome firefighter Joey Brackett seems to have it all: a heroic career, a cabin in the small mountain town of Blue Lake, and the freedom to fly the skies in his fixed-wing plane. Beneath the surface though, he hides a painful secret. His eldest sibling died in a house fire on a night when Joey called in sick to go flying. For the last ten years, he’s struggled to recapture the sense of family he lost.
All she wants is a good time…
Winery owner Lucy Stone is spunky, stubborn, and fiercely passionate.

All they have is now…
Lucy doesn’t share Joey’s idealized dreams of settling down, but he can’t seem to get over them. Now, Lucy must choose between what she thought she wanted and what her heart tells her she needs.
