Big girls don't cry. They go
after what they want.
Thanks to her bangin' curves,
Valerie Carmichael has always turned heads-with the exception of seriously sexy
Logan Mathis. Just Valerie's luck that the object of her lust-filled affection
is also best friends with her overprotective brother. But Valerie's determined
to get Logan's attention…even if it means telling a teeny little lie to get a
job at his new bar.
Logan can't remember a time
when Valerie didn't secretly fuel all his hottest fantasies. Now the curvaceous
she-devil is working behind his bar, tempting him every damn night. It's only
when he finds Valerie's naughty things-to-do list that Logan decides to break
every rule in the book-by making each red-hot deed a reality.
No one warned them that they
were going to fall this hard. And no one warned them that sometimes the
smallest secrets can have the biggest consequences.

Excerpt
Valerie Carmichael needed a drink. A strong one.
Because it was the only way she envisioned herself getting through the night.
An elbow nudged into her side, bringing her
thoughts back to the crowded bar. “I can’t see anything through all of these people,”
Brett said, scanning the room with his eyes. “Come on, let’s go to the other
side so I can get a better view.”
Sighing, Valerie trudged behind him without a
word.
When Brett had asked her to attend the grand
opening of Bottoms Up, a new bar in their hometown of Granite, Texas , she’d hesitated
to say yes. Sure, she was curious what the inside of the recently remodeled bar
looked like and had no doubt the place would be jam-packed with handsome,
available men. But it was still the last place on earth she wanted to be.
She knew better than to hang out in bars with her
older and only—thank God—brother. Every time she’d
done so in the past, the nights had always ended the same way. Brett would
spend the entire evening hovering over her like a rabid pit bull, daring any
single guy with a glint in his eye to look her way. Because Valerie turned
heads. She always had.
Oh, she wasn’t silly enough to believe she looked
like some gorgeous supermodel with a lean, trim figure or anything. She
definitely didn’t. But she had a pretty face, banging plus-size curves, and a
lively personality. And that was good enough for her. Valerie was just…Valerie.
And damn proud of it.
Across the room, Sam and Leah emerged from the
dense crowd, with a beer bottle for him and a glass of water for her.
Apparently, Leah was still on that damn diet and counting calories so she would
fit into her wedding dress. Though why she didn’t just buy the dress in a
larger size was beyond Valerie.
Leah blinked at the sight of her. “Val? What are
you doing here? You said you weren’t coming.”
Valerie shrugged. “I changed my mind.”
“Are you feeling okay?”
“Yeah, sure. Why?”
“When you said you didn’t want to go out, I
assumed you were sick. You never turn down a night out.” Leah
placed her palm lightly against Valerie’s forehead. “You sure you don’t have
the flu or something?”
Valerie laughed and pushed her friend’s hand away.
“Oh, stop it. I just didn’t feel like getting dressed up. I’m getting tired of
the whole bar scene.”
Then Valerie’s heart stopped, along with her lips.
Oh God.
Brett stood there talking to a tall, dark-haired
man who had one thumb hooked in the front pocket of his jeans while he leaned
comfortably against the wall with his right shoulder. She couldn’t see the
other guy’s face, but she didn’t need to. Valerie recognized all six feet, two
inches of him. Logan Mathis.

fun, steamy love stories with heart, heat, laughter, and usually a cowboy or
two. As she calls it, "Romance...with a sense of humor."
