One night isn’t supposed to lead to love. 
Jamie Stone is rich, beautiful, and bored out of his skull. The past few years have been an endless round of parties, and the decadence has lost its lustre. When a late night decision to get away lands him in the small seaside town of Heather Bay, Jamie's convinced he's made a mistake. 
Heather Bay is no Ibiza, but it does have Will. 
Will is stressed, stretched, and doesn't have time for anything but work. He's too busy trying to keep his head above water to focus on the London party boy who keeps ending up in his bed. Jamie is nothing but a distraction, but Will can't resist coming back for more, especially with the harsh realities of farming nipping at his heels. 
With the clock ticking on Jamie’s stay and the chaos of lambing season fast approaching, both men will have to look beyond themselves and let go of their fears. If they can, they might find the one thing they’ve always needed. 
Like I Needed is a steamy and sweet hook-ups to lovers contemporary MM romance featuring a city boy with a hedonistic reputation, a gruff farmer in need of a break, endless amounts of snow, friends with no boundaries, terrible scrambled eggs, and the breathtaking beauty of the Yorkshire moors. 
It is book three in the Heather Bay series and while it can be read as a standalone, it’s best enjoyed as part of the series.

Starting over is more than a song lyric . . . 
 
The last thing rising fashion designer Dayton Royal anticipated when she moved to Necessity, Texas, was managing one of her cousin's taco trucks. But after being skewered on social media for ruining her first famous client's wedding gown and then her estranged mother reaches out to reconcile, Day retreats, drowning in tortillas, salsa, and humiliation. Romance isn't on her plate, until the handsome business owner she's been casually flirting with makes a move. 
 
Single dad Grant Thomas has been smitten since the stunner, Day, walked into his store. Though burned by love, Grant still seizes the opportunity to ask Day out–right before his ex-wife arrives demanding he take their angry teen for the summer, perhaps longer. Unsure if he can balance work, fatherhood and romance, Grant's determined to try. 
 
Inspired by her new relationship, Day becomes a mentor to Grant's daughter and dives back into her dream career as well as indulges her creativity and love of tacos. But can she embrace her new life and family, as well as forgive her mother and past mistakes? 
 
Contains mature themes.
