In this insta-love protective older alpha male and younger BBW whirlwind romance...Truckalicious Tall Drink of Water Gage is about to learn that sometimes all it takes to meet your one true love... is a song stuck on repeat that makes your head hurt like a bastard all night long.24-year-old Piper Myers might write steamy romantic suspense novels for a living, but she's not exactly living one. The successful author behind the pen name Nika Drefan has come to Phoenix for some much-needed alone time to double down on her writing and finish her latest smut-filled masterpiece.She might craft sultry femmes fatales, but Piper herself is more of a couch-potato-with-a-passion-for-stargazing type-nerdy, introverted, and pretty much invisible to men. Shy on the outside but sassy and quirky on the inside, her head's usually lost in the clouds, dreaming up love stories she doesn't believe she'll ever have for herself.Until she spots Mr. Hot Stuff from her balcony.Huge, muscular, tattooed, and bearded-yeah, he's pure sin on two legs. Piper doesn't believe in love at first sight (not enough to write about it, anyway), but whatever this feeling is... it's not just lust.Now, if only she had the guts to go downstairs and talk to him...36-year-old Gage Bannon isn't just hot and bothered-he's exhausted. After months of nonstop travel expanding his international freight and logistics empire, he's finally back in the States and desperate for some sleep. But thanks to some rude, inconsiderate person blasting Aerosmith on repeat all night, sleep is out of the question.Big, brooding, and forbidding, Gage is the no-nonsense owner and CEO of Bannon Overseas, a multi-million dollar company he has spent the last decade building from the ground up. He's worked himself to the bone to restore the Bannon name after his father's ruinous actions nearly destroyed their family's fortune and reputation.Romance? He doesn't have time for it. Love? Never been touched by it.But when a curvy little bespectacled blonde catches his eye... Gage's world gets poleaxed.There's only one problem: he doesn't know her name or where to find her.But one thing's for sure-Gage Bannon always gets what he wants.And what he wants now-and for always-is her.Dear Reader: This is a guaranteed HEA, packed with over-the-top fun, scorching heat, and a generous sprinkle of sassy sweetness. Arizona's never seen heat like this, and neither have you.Blazing-hot stuff is about to go down, and you won't want to miss it!Come take a peek and find out why it's not even a question that pink is the color of passion-especially when our heroine is an author with her mind in the gutter as a rule, and her hero is a grumpy, obsessed, rugged blue-collar alpha with a claiming streak a mile wide who's decided she belongs to him from moment zero.
