    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!

    Sleeping with the boss? Probably not what my dad had in mind when he asked for my help. 
     
     
     
    But from the moment I step foot in the office, I can think of little else. I still want Jonathan. 
     
     
     
    Am I willing to gamble my relationship with my dad and my heart?

But her outlook on life has only gotten worse since she moved across the country for her dream job rebuilding motorcycles . . . only to lose the job to someone else. Now her run of bad luck includes a wilderness retreat with the entire company—including the asshat who stole her job. Fortunately, Tully Faulkner's bearded, tattooed hotness is pretty much the perfect distraction.

Somewhere between the breathtaking northern lights and teaming up to win their company's scavenger hunt, Dawson starts to think that Tully's magic touch might be just what she's been missing.

    The Machine Stops

    E. M. Forster

    A chilling prophecy of technological control and human disconnection. 
     Written in 1909, The Machine Stops by E.M. Forster is a visionary work of early science fiction that eerily predicts modern dependence on technology. In a world where humanity lives underground, each person isolated in a self-contained cell, all needs—food, air, communication, even ideas—are provided by a vast and seemingly omnipotent Machine. Human connection is mediated entirely through screens and buttons, and the surface of the Earth is deemed uninhabitable and taboo. 
    But when one man dares to challenge the authority of the Machine and seeks real, human experience above ground, the truth begins to unravel. Forster’s tale is a profound meditation on individuality, free thought, and the cost of convenience. A stark warning against overreliance on technology and the suppression of physical reality, The Machine Stops remains more relevant than ever in the digital age.
