  Drachen 3: Working Vacation

  Alex is bored. He's tired of being a sales rep for a communications company, and getting sent off regularly to the middle of nowhere. 
  Luckily, he sees a golden opportunity: the chance to swap with Daavi, one of the company's contractors, skipping off to a tropical island instead, to help Daavi's business partner Fran implement a new accounting system. Alex jumps at the chance for a sunny, low-key adventure, and trades places with him, dragging his junior colleague Vivica along for the ride. 
  But Alex has forgotten that 'adventure' and 'vacation' aren't the same thing. He finds that island life has its pitfalls. 
  Daavi isn't off the hook either: He's to travel out to a job site suspended over a ravine in a nature preserve. Aside from being mildly terrified of heights, Daavi has brought along his best friend Darryl, and their expectant wives, Millie and Stella, which might not have been the best idea with a vengeful, disgruntled ex-employee from Alex's company skulking around with a personal axe to grind. 
  To top it all off, Millie's baby is almost due, and expecting Drachen mothers can be, as Daavi puts it "adorably unpredictable." 
  This could all end without incident. But it's unlikely.

  “Summer” is one of only two novels Edith Wharton wrote that takes place in a rural setting (the other being her classic “Ethan Frome.”)  Given the subject matter, the book was considered scandalous in its day, but it is now considered a classic of early 19th century American literature.   
  The story follows the life and sexual awakening of Charity Royall, a young girl living in a small town who has dreams of moving out of her poverty-stricken community.  Courted by both the local rich businessman - her former guardian - and the dashing town ne’er-do-well, Charity starts up a love affair with the younger man.  But when her budding romance starts to take a turn…Charity is forced to grow up fast. 
  Edith Wharton - the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction - is one of the 20th centuries most beloved authors and we are proud to present “Summer” in its original and unabridged format.

  So let me get this straight... For the next few days I’ve got myself a grumpy fake husband who’s also kind of my...bodyguard? 
  I guess that’s a better way to spend the weekend than binge-watching reality television, especially since it’s kind of my fault we’re on the run from the mob and I need a protector. 
  Oops. 
  But why does the man watching my back have to be my lifelong crush? I've known Matty McGuire since we were kids and crushed on this stubborn, bossy, secretive, but loyal and heroic man nearly as long. 
  I'm determined to keep that part to myself, of course. But once we're fake Mr. and Mrs., soon we're not only sharing a hotel room but a hot kiss and an even hotter night between the sheets. 
  I'm over the moon, but when Matty's secrets turn out to be the kind that could get a girl tossed into the Witness Protection Program, I realize I'm also in over my head. 
  Can we find a way to make love work in the real world? Or will this one, red-hot weekend on the run from the mob be our first...and our last? 
  Welcome to Bad Dog where the men are incredible, the animals are ridiculous, and the happy ever afters are super emotional and steamy! Kind of a Sexy Jerk is a Standalone Romance with Spice!
