The Lotus Blossom Chronicles Book 2

For almost a year, Heaven pleaded with her best friend, Tanya Reed, to visit her and her husband, Hamid, in Pakistan. Not even the arrival of the couple's new baby could force Tanya to prepare for the journey halfway across the globe. When Heaven mentions Hamid's available rich brothers, the idea of hooking up with a man and money prompts Tanya to get her butt in gear. Of course, there's a hitch that develops after Tanya arrives: none of Hamid's brothers can stand the loudmouthed, gold-digging party girl. And if truth be told, Tanya shares the same sentiment of the brothers. They might be rich and handsome, but she doesn't want them. Not any of them—especially not Imran Ahmad. In Dirty Little Secrets by J. M. Jeffries, Elle Walker is a desperate woman—desperate enough to hire herself a rent-a-stud. Forced to go home to Florida for her parent's recommitment ceremony, she knows they will try to find her a respectable young Republican man that is tailor-made to fit into her parent's conservative world. So she turns the table on them by bringing Merrick Lee, a bearded, grease-under-his-fingernails mechanic. Merrick Lee has returned home after four years in Iraq. He is a man of hidden talents. Ivy Leaguer, ex-Delta Force Commando, he's just passing time until he returns to veterinarian school when he meets the fascinating, frustrating, sexy Elle Walker, and she makes him an offer he can't refuse. He'll be her pretend boy toy for the next two weeks, but only on his terms. And his terms include wooing and bedding Ms. Elle Walker.
