He's a billionaire in need of a wife ... And I'm his ex who can't say no to him. Ten years ago Carson Knight was my one great love, but he abandoned me without a trace. Now he's a billionaire single-dad in need of a temporary wife. And he's at my house on one knee with a proposal ... Marry him, so he's more likely to win full custody of his daughter, keeping her safe from her unstable mother. In return, he'll take care of the medical expenses for a surgery my father needs to survive. Reluctantly, I agree to tie the knot, on one condition. Once those custody papers are signed, we go our separate ways. Because he's even more gorgeous, charming, and sweeter than he was back then, and I don't trust myself not to fall for my fake husband. Especially when I hear him say "my wife." Or feel his hands on my skin. Taste his kiss or see the way he looks at me with those blue eyes and know that our carefully crafted rules will shatter. Right alongside my heart.

What's the worst thing you could do when you're stranded in the woods with your rival? Sleep with him. That's what. Not only is Rowan Whitlock my sister's ex, but we're both vying for the contract that would save my family farm. So why did it have to be Rowan who came to the rescue after I fell on a remote hiking trail? When the weather turned unexpectedly, we were forced to find shelter and ride out the storm. Only that wasn't the only thing I ended up riding. We promise ourselves what happens at the cabin stays at the cabin, but when we get back to Sugarloaf, it's impossible to stay away from him. Those blue eyes captivate me, his strong body comforts me, and he makes me feel beautiful. Which is crazy, right? If only my stupid head would listen and stop this before my heart gets involved, but I keep going back because I'm already in too deep. I should've known that the temptation wasn't worth the risk because when it all falls apart, our promises are broken, and I'm afraid my heart will never recover.

From New York Times Bestselling author Corinne Michaels comes an Arrowood-Hennington crossover next generation novella. No one makes my blood boil like Cayden Hennington. When I finished second in my class in law school, he finished first. We interned at the same firm-he got hired while I didn't. Now we're opposing counsel on my first big solo case, and I refuse to lose to him. I will not think about the way his lips taste or how he makes my heart race. I won't dream of that night we argued until our clothes came off. That night is irrelevant because I am over him. (I'm am also lying to myself). However, we're both professionals, right? Wrong. One stupid drink is all it takes after six hours of intense negotiations to find myself right back in his arms and in a world of trouble. There is a thin line between love and hate, and we are destined to choose a side. **Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it's an introduction to an author's world. And for fans, it's a bonus book in the author's series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

All we need to do is keep our distance and remain professional . . . turns out, that's easier said than done.

We try to resist each other, but we end up crossing every line until I'm in his bed. I tell myself it's just this once. Okay, twice. All right, every night. But it's got to end-he's fourteen years older than me, with a kid and a stressful job. Have I mentioned my dad is his boss? Then there's the past I'm trying to forget. Secrets aren't easy to keep and mine are getting too big to hide. Walking away is never simple but when I do, I can't look back. Even if it means leaving behind the man I was never meant to love.

What could possibly go wrong fake dating the gorgeous single dad in a small town? The answer, you fall for him. It started out perfect. Grady Whitlock needed a plus one for his business meetings, and I needed a date for a wedding. We had a plan. It was a good one. Until it wasn't. I was not supposed to have feelings for him. I was not going to let my heart race when his soulful blue eyes stared into mine. No way should I have noticed his smile or the dimple on his right cheek or his strong arms when he held me close. I especially wasn't going to melt when I saw him play with my daughter. Most of all I was not going to sleep with him. Nope. None of that was supposed to happen, but it does. Now I find myself dreaming of him every night. Wishing we were really a couple because the way he kisses me doesn't feel as if it's pretend. But we've both watched our dreams shatter, and I can't handle another broken heart.

The pain of the past disappears when he's around. With him, I'm more than enough, and I break every rule about dating a client. I fall desperately in love with him-only to realize I should've trusted my instincts because I'm no one's beloved ...
