Chandler:

It was supposed to be just sex.
Thoroughly satisfying, mind-blowing, sweaty, animalistic love making.
Just a week, though.
We both agree to the no strings attached arrangement. I give Amy the best week of her life, show her what it’s like to be with a real man. And since she’s my old best friend, I go a step further and give her the full Casanova Experience.
Dancing out on the town. I'm wining and dining her. Giving her VIP tickets to my basketball games.
She thinks I’m just doing her a favor to make up for her past five years of shitty relationships. She thinks I haven’t been obsessing over her for the last five years. She thinks when I take her against a public bathroom wall, I'm not thinking about committing to her for life.
She's wrong.
Now she’s telling me I’m the best she’s ever had.
There’s just one problem. Though we have a history as friends, she has no idea about my past. You don’t become Barcelona’s biggest Casanova without your fair share of skeletons in the closet.
I sure as hell have mine.
If I'm going to keep Amy, we are both in for one hell of a ride.
Buckle your seatbelts, folks. We're about to encounter some turbulence in this flight to Europe.

"This, Andrea, is the royal mating room. Are you ready to use it?"

Andrea and Jake have made the jump and moved in together. Things have been going well--so far. But when Andrea gets sick, their bond will be tested in a way she hadn't ever considered.

Deep in the hidden subconscious of her mind, does Andrea truly love Jake Napleton?
If they met in a completely different context, would the two of them still fall for each other?

This surreal quick holiday novella is hot and steamy. Holiday Heat Wave can be read as a standalone, but you will enjoy it more if you read Playing Dirty first and get Jake and Andrea's full back story!

Either way, feel free to read as a standalone with an HEA! Enjoy!

A small town girl. A big league ball player. A whole new ball game.

Jake

Pulling in eight figures a year as star pitcher for the Chicago Jaguars, there's no shortage of parties, booze, and women. I'm a beast on the mound and between the sheets but when my social media presence becomes a major problem, the team's owner brings in a PR expert to clean up my image. Andrea Diggers is the complete opposite of every girl I've ever met. She's smart, classy, and completely off limits. Which makes me want her even more. I've always loved a challenge, and Andrea has no idea I'm about to get her to play...on my terms.

Andrea

Cleaning up Jake Napleton's image may be my hardest assignment yet, and not just because of the secrets he keeps deeply buried. Working alongside the six-foot-six arrogant, filthy-mouthed man is a challenge in restraint. He screams poster-boy for favorite mistakes with his chiseled abs and rippling muscles. And I want to take him up on every dirty word he's said. But he's not the only one with something to hide. Our attraction may be immediate. Potent. Dirty. But is it enough to withstand our shadowed pasts?
