At any rate, life gets rather boring when you can literally have anything you want. Anyone you want. I hadn’t realized how willing I’d become to settle until life dangled temptation, in the form of a sassy-mouthed, blonde-haired, green-eyed, fiery little vixen, right under my nose and shook things up a bit—shook me up a bit.

Yeah, Korie is just the challenge I need.

“The label won’t like it.”

Having had about enough of her negativity, I rise to my feet, towering over her five-foot frame. It’s not often I ignore her advice. We’ve been best friends since elementary school; she’s one of the few people in my life I actually trust. “I don’t give a damn what they like or don’t like, Anika. I’m tired. I need to rest. The boys and I are taking this trip.”

Her pointed jaw ticks as she stares me down, arms crossed on her chest in a stance that I’m assuming she means to be intimidating. “Does she know you’ll be there?”

I snort. “Of course not.”

She gives one final resigned shake of her head, blowing out a laugh. “You’re gonna regret this.”

“Or,” I say, thumping her nose because I know how much it pisses her off, “I could enjoy it very, very much.”

“And Nick is okay with this?”

“Abso-fucking-lutely,” the hulking, six-foot-three, tatted oaf himself announces, entering through the back door. “A week of tits, booze, and fun in the sun? And I get to watch him follow Korie around like a lovesick puppy while she hands him his balls in a sling? Sign me up for that shit.”

Acknowledgments

Thank you, reader, for taking a chance on One Night Standards. I hope you enjoyed Lyle and Sammi as much as I did. Of all the books out there, you chose to pick up mine, and I’m so grateful.

A huge thanks to my husband and kids for putting up with me on what has been my tightest deadline yet.

Thanks to my momma for always stepping in and picking up my slack. From cleaning the house to helping with the kids, or simply being my travel buddy when I run away to write. I don’t know how I’d do this without you.
