He can read her like a book. But will he give her a happy ending? Dawn: I'd do anything to keep my bookstore. It's a safe place for all women, somewhere to let their freak flags fly. I call it sex-positive. The menfolk call it smut. That's how I met Rory Parker, the local billionaire trying to shut me down on behalf of the “moral majority.” He walked in with an offer I couldn't refuse... except I did. Now Rory wants to play dirty. Well, he picked the wrong bookseller. Let's see how much support he still has after people get a load of the little movie I recorded of the two of us going at it like wild animals in my shop. Rory: I couldn't care less how Dawn Nolan makes her money. The only thing I care about is how much she's making. Her bookstore isn't the kind of upscale attraction my investors want in this sleepy little tourist trap, so it's got to go. But when Dawn personally finds out how I treat bad girls who misbehave, she seems to enjoy it as much as I do. Now I just need to destroy the copies of that video she's threatening to post—as soon as I stop watching it. The trouble is, when I'm with her, all I want to do is get started on the sequel.

USA TODAY BESTSELLER • Sex on the beach has never been so much fun! Jamie K. Schmidt delivers an irresistible tale of second chances, secret identities—and a connection that's too sweet to miss. When Amelia Parker arrives in Maui, newly single and unemployed, she's shocked to discover the resort she booked is actually a ramshackle little beachside hotel. At least the scenery is easy on the eyes—as is the toned, laid-back snorkel instructor, “Dude.” After two weeks of sun, serenity, and mind-blowing sex, she even accepts a job as the hotel's concierge. But what Amelia really wants is to relaunch the place completely. And that means convincing the absentee Wall Street billionaire owner, Samuel Kincaide, to take a chance on her. Samuel has a plan, too: selling off every last reminder of his former life and chilling all day, every day as his slacker altar ego... Dude. He loves his romps in the ocean, and under the sheets, with the feisty Amelia. If she discovers his true identity, her boundless enthusiasm and innovative business plan will seriously diminish his hammock time. But when Amelia runs into real trouble on the island, he'll put everything on the line to keep her safe. He just hopes that the woman who's falling for Dude will feel the same about Samuel.Praise for Life's a Beach “Life's a Beach will sweep you away on a fun and sassy romance you'll want to last forever.”—New York Times bestselling author Claudia Connor “An unputdownable, laugh-out-loud read, Life's a Beach is filled with humor and heart.”—New York Times bestselling author Cherry Adair “I can't remember the last book that made me smile this much.

In this steamy series opener from bestselling author Jamie K. Schmidt—whose writing has been called “hot and sexy, with just the right amount of emotional punch,” by Lauren Layne—a vigilante biker takes the power of love into his own hands. Lucy Simmons comes from a rough family, but she's a damn good public defender. Even though she hates to see criminals walk due to sloppy police work, the law's there to make sure everyone gets a fair trial, and Lucy certainly doesn't believe in the kind of justice meted out by the leather-clad ex-cop they call “Evil.” He's stubborn, cynical, and out of control—but he plays her body like no man ever has. For once, both Lucy's boss and her brother agree: The biker is trouble. Evan Villiers took a sacred vow to let no killer, rapist, or pedophile go unpunished. When scumbags fall through the system, the Sentinels of Babylon clean up the garbage. Although the SOBs and their methods may not be to Lucy's liking, the beautiful lawyer has become Evan's light in the dark. But his next hit is Lucy's own brother—a murderer who got off on a technicality. Now, with his loyalties split, Evan must turn his back on his sworn duties... or lose the woman who has claimed his reckless heart.Praise for Necessary Evil“Calling all fans of Sons of Anarchy (and, of course, Jax)!
