My First Mistake:

Breaking up with my boyfriend a week before my thirtieth birthday.

Second Mistake:

Requesting my best friend, Griffin, make my birthday present a leg-shaking orgasm that the women who frequent his bar can't stop talking about.

My Third Mistake:

Lying to myself that I wouldn't fall for my best friend.

My Fourth Mistake:

Telling Griffin I love him.

And losing our friendship forever.

Olivia

When I met Tommy, I knew he was a grade-A jerk. After all, the first thing he said to me was that my orgasms must suck and be super boring. I didn't even know the guy. And he certainly didn't know me.

Tommy

I might not have known Olivia, but I knew her kind. Strong and confident to the world, but behind closed doors, she needed a good, hard f*ck.

Several years later, we meet up again, and I offer to be the man to do that for her.

But is she ready for all I have to give? Because I want her to take it all.

First, he took my heart.

It started in high school. I was his girlfriend…he was the love of my life.

We had plans for after graduation. We were going to escape—he from his family's reputation and me from my father's control.

But all that changed the summer before college. Charged with a crime he hadn't committed, he was whisked away from life, never to be heard from again.

Then, he takes my body.

Twelve years later, he's back. He's bigger, he's tougher, and he's harder around the edges. He's no longer the boy I fell in love with.

But I'm no longer the girl who gave him her heart.

Everything's changed between us. Anger, resentment, and bitterness have replaced happiness, love, and trust.

Except for when darkness falls. That's when he comes to me at night, taking what is still his.

Now, he's going to take my soul.

When the lines between our old love and our...]]> Thu, 01 Nov 2018 20:46:59 +0200 https://classics.library.land/r-l-kenderson/476543-object_of_my_desire.html https://classics.library.land/r-l-kenderson/476543-object_of_my_desire.html

Ms. Sunshine meets Mr. Grumpy! From USA Today bestselling author R.L. Kenderson.

"Sometimes, not knowing where you're going will lead you to where you need to be."

CHARLI

My workplace eliminated my position the same month my relationship ended. With nothing keeping me in Richmond, Virginia, I get in my car and head northeast, unsure of where I'll end up.

Until I walk into The Busy Bean Café.

With the Help Wanted sign and the quote on the wall meant for me, I know I've found my new home.

GABE

I gave up my executive job in Boston to come home to help run my family's hardware store and to open my own handcrafted furniture business. I have specific plans for my life.

Those plans don't include the coffee shop's new flighty barista even if she is cute as hell.

But when I become Charli's landlord, I find it harder than ever to stay away from her. And soon, I don't want to.
