on our very own road trip.
It’s just another way we’ve made things our own.
Epilogue
Bruce
After That
Day 1 in Solitary Confinement
This was not in Bruce’s plan.
No one ran this past him.
First, there was that infernal cat carrier. Like he was some sort of ferret.
He could handle a harness and a leash, thank you very much. But to be stuffed inside a portable cell?
To be placed in a basic sedan?
Shouldn’t he have been carried on a sacred bed in some air-conditioned, temperature-controlled limousine? That would have been more fitting for a being of his stature.
Now, here he was in some new and different place. He’d show them. He’d prove to them that those years in prison hadn’t softened him at all.
Not one bit.
He’d only been pretending to like the woman.
And the man too.
Though was it truly pretending? The man, after all, had brought him yellowtail several times. Sliced ever so delicately and served—gasp—raw.
It had been divine.
But no! He couldn’t linger on those thoughts. Bruce had been moved from his cell, the cell he had grown to think of as home, and had been placed in a new prison.
And he would let them know exactly what he thought of . . .
Meow!
Oh.
Ohhhhhh, yes.
Was that a lovely lady cat?
Hello there. That tail was so lush. So big. So soft. She smelled of catnip. And she was the finest specimen of feline he’d ever seen.
Bruce sauntered out of his cat carrier, strutted across the carpet, and sidled up against the lady.
This prison was going to be so much better.
He had a cellmate after all.
Epilogue
Queen LaTofu
A little later
Everything had worked.
It had all turned out as she’d intended.
Queen LaTofu curled up in bed that night with the man and the woman.
Well, she waited till they were, you know, done.
They were always doing it.
All the time.
So much meowing and caterwauling and noisemaking.
But the man had learned, clearly. He’d taken his tips from Queen LaTofu, and they’d worked.
Naturally.
And now she had barely needed an ounce of her charms, and the striped black cat had fallen in love with her. Here he was, leaping onto the bed, wrapping his strong body around hers, big-spooning her like the man did with the woman.
Ah, the male of the species.
They really weren’t so hard to figure out.
A bit of love, a little attention, and soon they were going on about happily ever after.
And that seemed a lot like purr-fection.

A Guy Walks Into My Bar
Every bartender should follow one simple rule—don’t go home with the customers.
That’s been easy for me to stick to, until the night a cocky, confident, and sinfully charming hockey star walks into my bar. This sexy athlete is too hard to resist, especially when he makes it clear how much he wants the “sarcastic, witty, hot AF” guy behind the bar—also known as me.
Still, I’m not keen on breaking my own rules since I know where that can lead—no place good.
But when that man makes his case with one bone-searing kiss on the streets of London, I throw resistance out the window.
What could go wrong with a hot, dirty, no-strings-attached fling before he leaves town in five days?
Trouble is, soon our nights together lead to days, to long conversations, to getting to know each other, and to something I never expected—falling ridiculously hard for a man who’s getting on a plane to America when I live a world away.
My life is here. His is there. And no amount of falling or feeling will change that one big problem.
Warning: contains hot hotel sex, loads of dirty talk, PDA all over London, and two sexy, witty, charming alpha heroes…
Grab this romance that early readers are calling my best love story ever – A GUY WALKS INTO MY BAR!
And don’t forget to preorder Ransom’s romance, a sexy, emotional friends-to-lovers romance - the final tale in this group of guy friends in New York! Order it now!
Let me list the reasons why dating the sexy, charming pro hockey star is a bad idea:
1. He’s one of my closest friends
2. All our friends are friends
3. The wounds I’ve got from past relationships go deep. And so do his.
We’re both devoutly single -- it’s just safer for the heart that way. But there’s no reason not to bid on the gorgeous, clever athlete at the charity auction this weekend. If I win, it’ll be a "friendsdate."
And I do win.
I win him big.
And hard.
And all night long.
The trouble is . . . what happens in the morning?
Find out what happens to the last single guy standing!
