different places. Books you gotten in the mail, brought from a store, borrowed

Worth the Scandal (Worth It #1) by Karen Erickson {ebook}
"Strictly
business? Try telling that to her heart..."
Alexander
Worth, President and CEO of Worth Luxury Goods, is a man never to be crossed.
His unwavering sense of responsibility to the family business requires him to
always be in complete and utter control. Until it comes to Tessa Crawford.
She's quietly
professional, shy, voluptuous...and she works for him. Which means she is the
one woman he must never touch, no matter how hard his gut twists with need for
her.
After rising
above her disadvantaged childhood, Tessa knows the last thing she should do is
risk throwing it all away by falling into bed with her sexy boss. But on an
extended European business trip, all self-imposed barriers burn away in the
heat of their sizzling chemistry.
Once back home,
though, whispers of corporate espionage turn into full-blown scandal-and Tessa
finds out the hard way where Alex's loyalties lie. Determined to soldier on,
she picks herself up and carries on with a secret, yet welcomed burden. Never
guessing that Alex will make a reappearance in her life, ready to show her once
and for all that family does, indeed, come first.
Warning:
Contains a sweet-yet-strong woman, and a bossy alpha male brought to his knees
by the woman he desperately loves. Involves enough begging and groveling that
the reader may be tempted to "accidentally" leave it for her
significant other to "find." For instructional purposes only, of
course

Monroe barely got her foot in her college dorm her freshman year before she was
being warned about a certain dark-haired, blue-eyed self-proclaimed Casanova.

soon a friendship forms that surprises everyone.
Twelve years later Kennedy and Memphis Adams are closer than ever - and only friends despite what those around them think, including Kennedy’s boyfriend Ian Brooks. When Kennedy accepts an invitation to vacation in Alaska from Memphis, her relationship with Brooks is tested as is her restraint when it comes to the desire she has always had for her best friend.
Twelve years later Kennedy and Memphis Adams are closer than ever - and only friends despite what those around them think, including Kennedy’s boyfriend Ian Brooks. When Kennedy accepts an invitation to vacation in Alaska from Memphis, her relationship with Brooks is tested as is her restraint when it comes to the desire she has always had for her best friend.
Alone with Memphis in Alaska, Kennedy finds it increasingly harder to ignore temptation and wants nothing more than to give into her secret desires with the one man that has always been off limits. But is one night of passion worth the possible risk of losing their friendship over?
Feeling torn between doing the right thing and doing what she wants, Kennedy fears losing her best friend. She knows she needs to sort out her feelings for the two men in her life and deal with the consequences of her actions, but how can she when everything seems to be falling apart so fast? And how much can Memphis take before he’s pushed too far and can no longer take Kennedy’s inability to make a decision about what and who she wants?
Kennedy discovers the harsh reality of how one night can change everything and leave her risking it all.
The Space Between Us by Megan
Hart
Everyone
has a story... Tesla Martin is drifting pleasantly through life, slinging
lattes at Morningstar Mocha, enjoying the ebb and flow of caffeine-starved
customers, devoted to her cadre of regulars. But none of the bottomless-cup
crowd compares with Meredith, a charismatic force of nature who can coax
intimate tales from even the shyest of Morningstar's clientele. Caught in
Meredith's sensual, irresistible orbit, inexpressibly flattered by the siren's
intoxicating attention, Tesla shares long-buried chapters of her life, holding
nothing back.
Nothing
Meredith proposes seems impossible-not even sleeping with her husband, Charlie,
while she looks on. After all, it's all in fun, isn't it? In a heartbeat,
vulnerable Tesla is swept into a willing and spectacular love triangle.
Together, gentle, grounded Charlie and sparkling, maddening Meredith are
everything Tesla has ever needed, wanted or even dreamed of, even if no one
else on earth understands. They're three against the world... But soon one
of the vertices begins pulling away until only two points remain-and the space
between them gapes with confusion, with grief and with possibility....
