Paige in Progress

Award-winning USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Brighton Walsh spent a decade as a professional photographer before taking her storytelling in a different direction and reconnecting with her first love-writing. She likes her books how she likes her tea-steamy and satisfying-and adores strong-willed heroines and the protective heroes who fall head over heels for them. Brighton lives in the Midwest with her real life hero of a husband, her two kids-both taller than her-and her dog who thinks she's a queen. Her boy-filled house is the setting for dirty socks galore, frequent dance parties (okay, so it's mostly her, by herself, while her children look on in horror), and more laughter than she thought possible.

She wanted a one-night stand...and then he moved in next door.PaigeIt was only supposed to be a single night. Nothing more than an easy, completely hot, mind blowing evening with my best friend's surrogate brother. Except my once-safe one-night stand no longer lives a thousand miles away. Adam's back in town...and living directly across the hall. Relegating our crazy chemistry to a single night was a lot easier when he wasn't my neighbor. When he didn't strut around the apartment building every day, taunting me with his should-be-illegal body. And being with him again isn't a possibility. Because Adam wants forever, and all I'm interested in is right now.AdamHaving Paige once wasn't enough. Hell, having her five times that night wasn't enough, either. It only made me hungrier for her. She doesn't want more than a quick lay, but I'm in it for the long haul with her. So I'll play by her rules and be her friend, while giving her what she needs when she needs it. But I'm not above using every tool in my arsenal to make her come around and show her what she really wants is right in front of her.Full length contemporary romance that may be read as a stand alone featuring a one-night stand turned to more between a strong-willed, smart-lipped heroine and the hot as sin, alpha hero she can't get enough of.
