    He’s a guitar player who works odd hours.  
    She’s his curvy new neighbor with a mouthy co-dependent husky.  
    Miscommunication taints their initial meeting, but will their physical attraction allow them a second chance at a first impression? 
    Kirian: It’s been three weeks since my new neighbor moved into the adjoining duplex. Three weeks of hearing a woman I’ve yet to see conjure up fantasies with her phone sex job, and of a howling demon dog who makes noise morning, noon, and night. I’m ready to give her a piece of my mind, except she isn’t what I expect, and one look at her spilling out of her tank top erases all of my complaints except one—if she’s going to cause me to lose sleep, I have a much better idea on how to we can do that. 
    Jamie: I’m a PTSD counselor—not a sex phone operator as my neighbor accuses—and I’d be a lot more pissed off if he wasn’t standing there, near naked, in the form of some mythical Nordic god. And the fact that my puppy has sided with him isn’t helping me stomp away in a huff either. Should I trust my puppy’s instincts and give this guy a second chance at a first impression? 
    Each book in the series is a complete, standalone story. This is a steamy, short contemporary romance, complete with instalove and a guaranteed happily ever-after. If you're looking for a great lunchtime read, or something to spark sexy dreams before bed, you’ll want to pick this one up.

    François-Anatole Thibault was born on the 16th April 1844 in Paris, France, the son of a bookseller and bibliophile. 
    He studied at the Collège Stanislas, a private Catholic school, and after graduating joined his father in the bookstore, which specialised in works on the French Revolution.  Several years later he secured a position as cataloguer at Bacheline-Deflorenne and at Lemerre before being appointed librarian for the French Senate in 1876. 
    His literary career had begun as a journalist and as a poet before publishing his novel ‘Le Crime de Sylvestre Bonnard’ in 1881.  Praised for its elegant prose, it won him a prestigious prize from the Académie Française, which later elected him to its storied ranks. 
    His works were profound and thoughtful and often couched in surreal and outlandish expressions; whether penguins baptized by a near-blind Abbott transformed themselves into humans or of a guardian angel who becomes an atheist, his stories turned established thought into startling literature. 
    His short stories run in the same vein.  The premise may seem plausible but his distinctive style turns them into an individual viewpoint which invokes both discussion and admiration. 
    In his private life his relationships with women were often turbulent.  A Socialist, he was a fervent supporter of the Russian Revolution and the early years of the French Communist party. 
    He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1921 but the following year his entire canon of works was placed on the prohibited list of the Catholic Church, which he thought of as a credit to his name. 
    Anatole France died on the 12th October 1924 in Tours.  He was 80.
