And yet something seems to be pulling her and Laurie Holcombe together, drawing them into a secret, thrilling dance that's far too dangerous for a boss and employee.

F*ck Like a Goddess
Summary
What if your deepest fears and wounds were the key to living a turned-on, passionate life, sharing your gifts with the world, and having mind-blowing orgasms along the way? And what if you could embrace all of you - all of your messy, wild, raw, sensual self - exactly as you are right now and still feel good? This is what it means to f--k like a goddess - literally and metaphorically. To let life make love to you and enjoy every bit, even the parts that hurt, and to find the magic in all of it. And this is your birthright. So why is it so damn hard for women to simply feel comfortable in their own skin, let alone feel strong and secure enough to freely share their gifts with the world? "Because each of us has been conditioned, programmed, and literally brainwashed into thinking we are not enough," writes Alexandra Roxo, "and it is up to us to rewrite that story." A prominent voice in transformational healing and the divine feminine, Roxo shares tried-and-true methods that have led to both her own healing and that of hundreds of her coaching clients over the years.

Lover Boy
Summary
He's the hot single dad next door. My brother's best friend...and I want him to be my lover. From the first time I meet Leo Montgomery, I know I'm in trouble. His dark, heated gaze skittering down my body sets my skin on fire. A rare sighting of his elusive, heart-stopping smile and - dear lord - I think I just ovulated. But then, he hires me to babysit his adorable little troublemaker after school, and now, my maternal instincts are working overtime. It was never supposed to be more than a harmless crush on my older brother's best friend. But (accidentally) showing him my enormous red granny panties was probably my first mistake. (Apparently, he's into that sort of thing.) That slow, sensual kiss on the back porch didn't help matters, either. We need an outlet for the combustible sexual tension between us. There's no denying it. But he says he can't be my boyfriend. He won't let me into his closely guarded heart. I tell him that's okay. After all, we don't need a title. We don't need to be together. We can just be lovers. Can't we? Well, as it turns out, the road to hell is paved with good intentions...and enormous red granny panties. Contains mature themes.
