Thanks goes out to the CBR romance crew for introducing me to this sweet book. Orleanas introduced it, and it kept getting good reviews, so I had to try it too. What can I say?

Of the six or so I’ve read, I’d recommend Imago and […]

It’s a contract position that he hopes will get his life on track, help him work less, and includes free rent on a farmhouse. When Nathan arrives, he finds a painter […]
