A forbidden night of passion. She's his weakness, but he'll risk it all when it comes to her safety.

Zain Roman had sworn off women. Now a bitter divorcé, he no longer believed in the sanctity of marriage. Zain was only interested in having fun, with no strings attached. He was committed to his job in policing the streets and taking down bad guys as a member of the finest SWAT team in the state.

He loved his team, and when he lost a bet, he was man enough to pay up.

Salon owner Omara Knight knew she was playing with fire. One look at the officer sitting in her chair, and she knew she was intrigued. Omara had no time for a love life. She had a business to run and a son to raise.

Zain was a temptation she should avoid. Her sister warned her about him, but Omara never did as she was told.

There was something about a man in uniform that had her wanting to indulge in the sexy pleasures his eyes promised. One night was all she needed.

At least that's what she tried to tell herself.

Zain sensed Omara was hiding something, and when her past came back for her, he's willing to do everything in his power to keep her safe—even give her his heart, but will it be too late?

Would one night be enough?

Alana Thorton had watched her new neighbor move in across the hall. Women came and went. Each one who left his apartment had a satisfied smile on her lips.

London Keith was a player--bad news.

Spying on him became her favorite pastime. It earned him a nickname...Mr. Hotness.

Alana swore she'd never give in to a guy like him. He would do nothing but break her heart. But curiosity got the best of her. What was so alluring about London?

Then she saw him with his shirt off. Heard his sexy accent, and she completely forgot she'd vowed to steer clear.

Alana had been celibate too long, but London could fix her problem. She might as well let him try.

It would only be one night.

It was quite obvious the man had skills.

Still, she didn't expect her neighbor to be quite so...addicting.

Please note: Mr. Hotness was previously featured in the Tangled Sheets anthology. This is the extended version of the story. It is a steamy BWWM romance as only Peyton Banks can write.

Trouble follows her wherever she goes. He’s a man willing to prove his love for her.

Nykee Nash returned home to Shady Springs a changed woman. No longer was she the juvenile delinquent who committed crimes and broke the law. Nykee had paid her debt to society and wanted to move on with her life. She threw herself into her new passion and was the happiest she had ever been.

Until Karl sauntered through the door of her newly established business.

Around Karl, Nykee began to live again.

Karl Tanis didn’t know what hit him. One look in Nykee’s warm brown eyes, and he was a goner. Karl had heard of her past but believed everyone deserves a second chance. He had spent most of his life working a ranch and was no stranger to hard work.

He was up for the challenge to wrangle in Nykee’s heart.

She’s stubborn, but he’s confident he will win her over. But with a twist of fate, everything they had came crashing down around them.

Nykee doesn’t want him anywhere near her now, refusing to let him help fight her battles. There’s no way he is leaving her alone. He will not give up on their love because she would be hard to forget...

There was no forgetting the past. Mistakes were made, but now he’s ready to right his wrong.

Iker Baldwin was used to making hard decisions in his line of work. For the SWAT team, it could be a matter of life or death. As a seasoned officer, protecting and serving was what he did. So when he had to decide what to do in his personal life, he chose to protect. 

Which meant walking away from the love of his life. 

In the back of his mind, he knew he had made the wrong decision. 

Jessica Horton was finally back on her feet. A bad heartbreak two years ago wasn’t going to keep her down. She was determined to move on with her life. The memory of her past love would always be with her, but now there was someone new. 

Like an addict going back for the next hit, Iker needed to see Jessica. One glance at her, and he would move on. That’s what he tried to convince himself. One look, and he knew he couldn’t stay away.

He was determined to win back her love and trust, but just as he had feared in the past, she’s the primary target of a new unknown enemy. Iker was willing to give it all up to save her, but will he be too late?
