He's out for the money, yes, but getting a little dirty with Nell doesn't sound too bad either. Everyone knows he's not the marrying kind, so it's a good thing it's just for show.

Someone who claims to be watching him. Someone who is looking for “young blood.” James and his sister, Ava, are obviously in danger. But the problem with having a history of playing practical jokes is that no one believes James—not even his parents. Now James and Ava need to figure out who is sending the letters before they become the next victims in their neighborhood’s long history of missing children. Because one thing is clear: Uncovering the truth about the Keeper is the only thing that will keep them alive. |
katy evans best man: Jagger MJ Fields, Chelsea Camaron, 2021-09-12 “Fist to face. Hit by hit, I’ll take them all. Every day is a new round. Ring the bell. I will not submit. Tapping out is not an option. Fight ‘til I win.” — Jagger Caldwell. Jagger Caldwell, the youngest of the Caldwell brothers, is the untamable one. Driven, fierce, and determined to stand for something, Jagger lives his life waiting for the next fight in or out of the octagon. He knows his life is not the place for any woman to tie herself down to. Tatiana Rand, is helpless. She is young, naïve, and abused. Her father is a tyrant who keeps her locked away in their small apartment building. He leads her life with a firm hand and no escape from the wrath. Unable to walk away, Jagger watches from afar as Tatiana suffers at the hands of her father trying to leave her scraps of good when he can. He tries to help her and guide her to a life on her own. What happens when fragile little Tatiana isn’t so little anymore? What happens when she is all woman and she is ready to fight for the man of her every dream? |
katy evans best man: I Carried a Watermelon: Dirty Dancing and Me Katy Brand, 2021-03-03 'Massively enjoyable' Dawn French I Carried a Watermelon is a love story to Dirty Dancing. A warm, witty and accessible look at how Katy Brand's life-long obsession with the film has influenced her own attitudes to sex, love, romance, rights and responsibilities. It explores the legacy of the film, from pushing women's stories to the forefront of commercial cinema, to its 'Gold Standard' depiction of abortion according to leading pro-choice campaigners, and its fresh and powerful take on the classic 'coming of age' story told from a naïve but idealistic 17-year-old girl's point of view. Part memoir based on a personal obsession, part homage to a monster hit and a work of genius, Katy will explore her own memories and experiences, and talk to other fans of the film, to examine its legacy as a piece of filmmaking with a social agenda that many miss on first viewing. One of the most celebrated and viewed films ever made is about to have the time of its life. |
katy evans best man: The Guy on the Right Kate Stewart, 2019-07-23 I've never laughed out loud so many times while reading just to turn around and melt into a puddle of swoon juice from all the steamy sweetness Kate packed in between the brilliant sight gags and hilarious banter in this book. It might just be the best $3.99 I've ever spent. -B.B. Easton, author of 44 Chapters About 4 Men An Amazon TOP 30 Bestseller! Strike One-My mother named me Theodore after her favorite chipmunk. Not cool, Mom. I've spent most of my life answering to Teddy, because I couldn't make Theo work. Except for here. College. The place where all bets are off, and I've managed to redeem myself. There's only one problem, my new roommate, Troy, is football royalty and looks like he stepped off the set of an Abercrombie shoot. Doesn't matter, I cook a mean breakfast for his panty parade, and we get along well. And anyway, this year I got the girl. And she's perfect. That's right. Theodore Houseman, former band geek, now marching band rock star has finally landed the girl of his dreams. Everything is perfect. That is, until Troy takes a good look at her. I'm not going down without a fight. As a matter of fact, I'm not going down at all. As glorious as these days may be for my all-star roommate, Laney is my end game. I may not know much about play strategy, but I've been the good guy my whole life. I've been listening and I know exactly what women want. Framed in a picture standing next to me, Troy may seem like Mr. Perfect, but he's underestimating the guy on the right. Spoiler alert: In this story, the underdog is going to win. The Underdogs Series Reading order #1 The Guy on the Right #2 The Guy on the Left #3 The Guy in the Middle *Though all books in The Underdogs Series can be read as stand-alone novels, it's highly suggested you read them in order as all three stories interconnect, and book three has a extended series epilogue. |
katy evans best man: Scoring Wilder R. S. Grey, 2014-06-26 With Olympic tryouts on the horizon, the last thing nineteen-year-old Kinsley Bryant needs to add to her plate is Liam Wilder. He's a professional soccer player, America's favorite bad boy and has all the qualities of a skilled panty-dropper. Not to mention that Liam is strictly off limits; her coaches have made that perfectly clear. But that just makes him all the more enticing. |
katy evans best man: Confessions After Dark Kahlen Aymes, 2014-04-14 Sparks Fly ... Lines Blur... and Hearts Break Alexander Avery is rich, powerful and the sexiest man Angeline Hemming has ever laid eyes on: a man like every woman dreams about. Angel is not immune to his sensual and ruthless pursuit, and Alex is intoxicated by the beautiful doctor; overwhelmed with desire like he's never known. As the profiling case Angel is working on gets more and more dangerous, Alex finds himself filled with unfamiliar panic and emotional turmoil; his need to protect her goes against Angel's adamant insistence that she doesn't need his help. He isn't a man to sit on the sidelines when the woman he's obsessed with is threatened, so he takes control to protect her without telling her of his plans. Angel's fortitude is shaken when her stalker invades not only her personal life but also those close to her... even when that someone is powerful and seemingly untouchable. Professional ethics insist she keep the details or her work away from her lover, even as their newfound closeness has her yearning to confide in him. But, as Angel's quest to protect her heart from Alex's undeniable pull equals her need to keep him out of a dangerous situation, circumstances dictate a huge decision; which could have detrimental, and irreversible consequences for them both. When danger threatens and jealousy reaches the boiling point, lies will be told and secrets kept... Even with the best intentions and the most undeniable connection ... the deepest of loves will be tested. |
katy evans best man: A Deal with the Devil ELIZABETH. O'ROARK, 2023-10-26 A temp assistant and the British boss she loves to hate . . . The Devils series is a sexy blend of spice, romance and grumpy men. Prepare to laugh, swoon and cry . . . perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Emma Chase. He might not be the devil, but working under him for six weeks is my idea of hell. Hayes Flynn is an arrogant jerk known best for his scotch habit and the way he spreads his British charm all over Hollywood, never with the same woman twice. He's the last person I want to work for, except he has a face I can't look away from, and the longer we're together, the harder he is to hate. Because under that smug exterior is a heart he doesn't want to show-one that was badly broken a decade earlier. A part of me wants to fix it for him before I leave...but can I do it without breaking my own in the process? |

katy evans best man: Little Big Love Katy Regan, 2018-04-24 Meet 10-year-old Zac – a boy on a mission – in Katy Regan’s new novel Little Big Man . . . You can't see the truth from the outside, that's what I've worked out. Ten-year-old Zac has never met his dad, who allegedly did a runner before he was born. But when his mum lets slip that he’s the only man she’s ever loved, Zac turns detective and, roping in his best friend, hatches a plan to find his father and give his mum the happy-ever-after she deserves. What he doesn’t realize, though, is that sometimes people have good reasons for disappearing . . . Little Big Man is a story about family secrets and fierce, familial love. It's about growing up and being accepted; grief and lies, and the damage they can do. Most of all though, it’s about a little boy determined to hunt down the truth; a boy who wants to give the Dad he’s never met a second chance to be a father – and his mum a second chance at love. |
