So what's a desperate girl to do, but try her hand at love?
Retired Navy SEAL Beckett Smith doesn't make mistakes.

Isolation isn't providing the peace he's seeking, the boss he considers a friend is ready to hand him a beat down and a pink slip, and the girl he can't stop thinking about is suddenly parked on his doorstep.

Author Bio
My love for steamy romance began when I was in junior high. A friend and I came upon a dumpster of discarded paperbacks behind our small town's Ben Franklin store. The covers were missing and each book was torn in two, split right down the center of the spline, but I found that to be no obstacle as I scanned each page looking for any love or lust words—and curse words, too. It wasn't long before I was scouring the public library and our local discount store, devouring anything labeled romance. I said a tearfully grateful goodbye to Judy Bloom as Jackie Collins began ruling my world.
I live with my high school sweetheart turned husband and our three, beloved DVR's, in the desert Southwest. Otherwise known as the surface of the sun during the summer months.
My life long goals are to think before I speak, smile more and swear less, and actually weigh what my driver's license states I do. And I have been contemplating a hair color change for the last decade. I'm thinking red.

Hayley
I tap Jill on the shoulder and smile when she looks back at me. “I know you,” I tell her and she narrows her eyes at me, trying to place my face. “I’m Hayley,” I offer. “And this is…”
“Dee Acosta!” Kelly yells, cutting me off before I can introduce my apparently famous friend.
Both girls jump off their stools and hug Dee, who is smiling so big you’d think they just announced her as the lottery winner. Which I guess in the literary world she pretty much has, since she’s being recognized so easily.
“Like I said.” I smile as I watch the three women talk. “I’m just some silly little peon with visions of grandeur, so I hang out with famous people.”
“And you,” Jill says, pointing at me, “are Dee’s crazy friend.”
“That’s me.” I smile. “We’re having dinner and drinks at the table over there. Why don’t you girls join us?”
“Okay,” Jill agrees. “But I have a firm no boys allowed rule.”
“Perfect. We’re having a vagina-free-for-all this weekend anyway.”
“Unless one of the models wants to sit with us.” Kelly winks and we all nod our head.
“So why no boys?” I ask, taking another sip of my wine and signaling our waitress for another.
“I caught my boyfriend sleeping with another girl this morning,” Jill tells us causally as if she were advising us of the weather.
“Oh no!” Dee gasps, much more horrified than Jill seems to be. “I’m so sorry.”
“Eh,” Jill waves her worries away. “He wasn’t much of a catch anyway. I’m just pissed because I made him soup when he said he wasn’t feeling well, and when I went to his apartment I saw him balls deep inside another girl. He didn’t see me,” she rolls her eyes, “so I left and he’s been texting me all day, trying to figure out why I’m not responding.”
Dee pats Jill’s shoulder while my mind comes up with the perfect plan, befitting of a cheating bastard.
“Do you still have the soup you made him?” I ask, smiling back at Dee and my new friends.
“Yeah.” Jill grins back at me, while Dee squeezes my arm with an almost silent squeal.
“That’s L.A. Casey!” Dee whispers excitedly in my ear.
“Go finger her,” I whisper back. “Then bring her back over here,” I say more loudly. “She can help us with our mission.”
Dee nods at me while Jill and Kelly look back at me curiously.
***
“More!” I shout over the giggles bouncing off the walls in our hotel room.
“More what?” L.A., better known as Lee, asks. “Wine?”
“Laxatives.” I pass three more tablets to Kelly for her to smash and put in the ex-douchebag’s chicken soup.
“We don’t want to kill him,” Dee warns and I roll my eyes at her.
“We’re not gonna kill him. Just give him severe diarrhea,” I declare, sending the girls into another fit of laughter.
“One more tablet,” Jill compromises, taking it from Kelly and crushing the last tablet finely before mixing it into the soup. “And… we’re done!”
“Before you go, a toast.” I make sure everyone has their wine glasses in hand. “To douchebags everywhere.”
“May they forever shit themselves,” Lee adds.
“And think of us, the women who destroyed them, as they pray to the porcelain goddess.”
We raise our glasses and drink in celebration to our womanhood and overall superiority before we part ways for the night.

The Closer You Get by Carter Ashby Release Day Blitz
Book Title: The Closer You Get (A Fidelity Novel)
Author: Carter Ashby
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 21, 2015
Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions
Cora was born, raised, and baptized in Fidelity. She owns a thriving construction business, has a close circle of friends, and is the breadwinner for her mother and four sisters. The one thing she lacks is a sex life, something she’s never longed for until now. One conversation with Rye sparks her sexual awakening, and, in spite of his reputation as a man-whore, Cora can’t resist giving in to his advances.
As Rye enjoys initiating his virgin employer, and Cash experiences a relationship with a man for the first time in his life, they begin to think of Fidelity as home. But small towns have brought them trouble in the past, and it appears Fidelity holds trouble for their future. Can their newfound relationships be enough to overcome a past that relentlessly follows them? Can two men who have been burned by love learn to trust again?
Her heart pounded hard in her chest, and she found she couldn’t keep staring into his eyes.
“Cora, when you smiled the first time, you changed my life. I haven’t been able to get you out of my head this whole time. I’ve been praying to God all week that I haven’t messed things up for good.”
Now she felt she could barely breathe.
“Did I? Did I mess things up for good?”
She couldn’t even turn to look at him. He must have sensed it because he touched her chin with the tip of his finger and turned her head toward him. His eyes were so incredibly beautiful and earnest.
She cleared her throat and in a husky voice, asked, “What is it you want with me?”
“Just a chance. Let me prove to you that the guy you’ve known the past month isn’t really who I am. It’s just who I became after giving up on people. I can fix this, Cora.”
She opened her mouth to answer though she didn’t know what to say. Thankfully, the sound of trucks approaching interrupted them. She turned toward the noise. “We should get back—”
He spun her into his arms and pressed his lips to hers as he smoothed her hair off her forehead, leaving his hands to gently cup her face. The urgency and sincerity in his kiss undid her. She fisted her hands in his shirt and held on.
“I want you,” he whispered against her lips. “I’ve never wanted anyone like I want you, Cora.”
