Take the Fall (Take the Fall, #1)(54)

Oh, hell no.

But it’s a really bad idea.

Yeah, but what’s the worst that could happen?

You could seduce her and she could sue your ass.

Again, what’s the worst that could happen?

Piper twists her hands together as she waits for me to answer.

You could fall for her and she’ll leave you, once she discovers exactly how bad you really are.

I’m not bad….I’m filthy. But, I’ll keep that to myself. But in the meantime, I’ll lie and tell Piper that we don’t—

“You can move in tonight, if you want. We can talk about a work schedule tomorrow.” As soon as the words leave my mouth, I cringe inside. What in the hell have I done?

The Editor’s Corner


July is the month for sizzling romance and Loveswept has all the books for your reading needs right here.

In New York Times bestselling author Marquita Valentine’s Take the Fall, the first spin-off novel from her successful Boys of the South series, passions run hot as a rugged, brooding marine rekindles an old flame. Elisabeth Barrett begins a heartfelt new Briarwood series with a tale of forbidden love, broken promises, and second chances in Once and Again. Club Sin returns in Commanded, a decadent new romance from USA Today bestselling author Stacey Kennedy. Next, USA Today bestselling author Claire Kent’s deeply sensual story of love, lust, and deception, Sweet the Sin, where a woman searching for the truth discovers that she’s sleeping with the enemy. Another USA Today bestselling author, Serena Bell teases all five senses in Turn Up the Heat, a poignant, tantalizing novel of fantasies long hidden…and finally indulged.

The heat is on in Cassie Ryan’s story of temptation and total surrender, My Obsession—a powerful master gives his dream girl a new beginning in the dungeons of decadent ecstasy. Violetta Rand’s explosive new Lies & Leather series kicks off with a red-hot motorcycle racer who rides hard and plays for keeps in Loving Lucas. And New York Times bestselling author Tracy Wolff poses the question: Do nice guys always finish last? In the new Extreme Risk novel, Slashed, a burned-out underdog and a vulnerable tomboy defy the pressure to be perfect and go after what they really want.

If you adore billionaire romances that are blistering hot, don’t miss Tracy’s Play Me series, now available as one book!

My, it’s hot in here. And it won’t cool down for August—just wait until you see what we have in store!

Until then,

Happy Romance!
