Tory Baker presents Book 4 in the Rowdy Johnson Brothers series.

Rosaleigh caught my eyes from the beginning, but I didn't make my move. She was too young. Unfortunately, my best friend didn't have the same morals. It killed me, watching from a distance as he disrespected the woman who was always meant to be mine. When she finally discovers the truth about him, all bets are off. I'm done holding back. I make my move, ready to prove she has a real man now—one who will have her back and give her the life she deserves. I won't let anything stop me. She's not getting away again. I'm going to make her mine.

I lived a simple, quiet life. I always figured love wasn’t for me. That was until Berkley Jennings walked into the front door of our family restaurant. She took my breath away and the moment our gazes locked on one another, everything changed.

A recluse. A Billionaire. That's who I am. I haven't wanted or needed anything in a long time, especially not a woman. That is until my eyes lock on a beautiful woman who shines brighter than a diamond, standing on a platform, waiting for men to bid on her for a date as part of a charity auction event. It's something I wanted no part of until my business partner forced my hand. Now the only goal I have is to take what I want and what I want is Nessa Taylor. I'll make sure none of the vultures circling her get a chance. She's mine even if I have to play dirty to have her.

Raven was a dancer at one of the clubs the Diamondbacks own. As their VP when things started going sideways with our manager, I came in and Raven stepped up to the plate, helping us out. I took one look at her and I knew she was special. She may have deserved better than me, but I wasn’t about to let anyone else have her. When her past catches up with her, you better believe I’m going to shield and protect her with everything I am. Because when a Diamondback claims his old lady—it’s forever.

The last thing I needed was to fall for Kody Goodwin, my friend's sister turned nanny. There's something about a woman who has no problem putting a man in his place. And Kody does exactly that, she doesn't take my surly attitude or the way I try to ignore her every move. My heart has other plans, there is no keeping her at arm's length. Not when I see her everywhere, the way she looks, her sweet voice, and the way she loves my daughter. Now all I need to do is prove I'm worthy of Kody's love and I'm going to do everything in my power to make it happen.

Judge Samuel Kavanaugh took one look at Eden Powers and knew she would be his. Everything about her screams off limits. I don't do romance with my coworkers. That's a rule I've never broken. Then, there's the fact that I'm fifteen years her senior. The warning bells are going off, but I'm ignoring them. Nothing will stop me from making that curvy court reporter mine.

Tulsa Rose has gone through hell and back. We have a complicated history, becoming her guardian after a family tragedy is only the tip of the iceberg. I sent her away. It was the right thing to do, even if she felt like I turned my back on her. The truth is, she was a temptation I couldn't have. She was way too young. Now she's home, ten years later. I want her more now than I ever did. Too bad she hates me. It doesn't matter. I'm not walking away from her again. She belongs to me, she always has. I'm staking my claim once and for all.

Josie has always been the ultimate forbidden fruit. When I first laid eyes on her, she was a tempting, wet dream that just appeared in my home. That sounds perfect, but she was there as my son's girlfriend. It also made her completely off limits. It still didn't stop me from tasting her. One touch, one taste wrapped up in a stolen moment that never should have happened marked me for life. She's my guilty secret that I've privately been obsessed with. I mean hell, it's been years and I still think about her. Now, she's back.

When a friend asked me to hire his youngest daughter, I had reservations. Yet, I needed a secretary. So, I said why not. Sometimes being a good guy backfires on you. This is definitely one of those times. Fawn is younger than me—way too young. She's also a walking fantasy that tortures me daily with images running through my mind of all the dirty things I want to do to her. I need her so much I can taste it. I try to resist, but once I see the hunger in her beautiful eyes, it's over, just like my bachelor days.

A wife. Happily ever after. That was never in the cards for me, not with a past like mine. Everything changed when Millie entered my life. The no labels I demanded on our heated encounters became meaningless when she threatened to walk away. There's only one thing a man can do when he realizes the woman he loves is going to leave forever.

If there's one girl out there I shouldn't mess with, it's Stormy. Everything about her screams off limits. She's too young, hurting from being screwed over, and my niece's best friend. Don't get me wrong, I'm no saint. But this girl is the biggest temptation I've ever had. That's anything but good—especially in the small town we live in. When her world is turned upside down on what was supposed to be her wedding day, I come to her rescue.

I'm a man who knows what he wants and what I want is Birdie. It hurt like hell to watch her leave our small town to set off and chase her college dreams. I let her go once, I'm not letting it happen again. Now she's home for good, and I'll stop at nothing to keep her with me, always. Even if that means tying her to me in every way possible.

I know what I want and what I want is Tallulah Jennings anyway I can have her. Tully wants to keep our relationship a secret. She thinks my name attached to hers will make the people in our small-town talk. And not in a good way. I'm biding my time. One day soon she'll have my last name, be the mother of my children, and they'll be no more hiding the way we feel for one another.

Patrick "Trick" Kelly has one golden rule. Never mix business with pleasure. That rule gets thrown out the window when Wren Taylor walks through the door of his tattoo shop and into his heart. She's sassy, smokin' hot, and his complete opposite. Wren has plans, though. She wants to be a social worker, and she needs to concentrate on getting her degree. Not the hot-as-hell tattooed bad boy who owns Sin & Ink tattoo shop. Some things just won't be denied, however.

I always get what I want and what I want is Amelie. One month after leaving, my only thoughts were of the woman I left to protect. Thoughts of her consumed me night and day, pushing me to work harder and faster in order to have her back in my arms. The need to protect her from my own blood, a father who would ruin me and anyone that means anything to me in order to further his political career.

Marlie: Tanner is a tall glass of water on a hot summer day. Handsome doesn’t even touch the surface, and the way he gave me his rapt attention at my best friend's wedding—it was unbelievable, until it was too good to be true. Yet he never called, and no girl ever wants to be forgotten. Tanner: After too many days to count of blowing up everyone’s phone, I’d exhausted all efforts and was nowhere near close to finding Marlie’s real number. Yeah, I screwed that up, but I’ll do anything I can to make things right and make her mine.

A whirlwind romance that I didn’t see coming when I booked my vacation. One stumble into Decker’s arms and we're inseparable. Two weeks away from my family and the drama that encompasses everything to do with The Harts. With a watchful father and four overprotective brothers, I need a break. That doesn’t stop me from falling head over heels for the so-called sworn enemy, but they’re wrong about Decker. He’s so much more, and I’m going to prove that to my overgrown brothers.

Deke Hart is a complete and total jerk, so why am I going to a family function as his fake girlfriend? That’s easy to answer. I owe him after he helped me out of a jam. There’s only one problem. He’s easy on the eyes. When Deke isn’t talking, he’s doing amazing things to my body. I have a past. Don’t we all? Am I letting it rule my future? Sure. Do I have a chip on my back because of it? Yes. Am I using Kelsey in more ways than one? Absolutely. What I’m unprepared for is that I’m the one going after Kelsey, when all it seems she’s wanting is to keep things platonic.

I wasn't prepared for Delilah Taylor. Settling down was never on my radar. Almost getting caught with my mouth and hands on her body were definitely not in my plans. Now that I've had a taste of her, I'm rethinking every single f*cking thing.
