READ THE EXCERPT:
“You’re so DIY,” she says.
“From flowers to headbands, sweetheart,” I tell her as I twist the stretchy fabric around her wrists.
“Everything’s a sex toy with you,” she says, glancing back at me since I’m behind her, adjusting the soft material around her hands, clasped behind her back.
“And everything should be,” I murmur as I tug on the material to make sure the hold is firm enough but not too tight. “How does that feel?”
“It’d be better with your d*ck in my mouth. Can I have that sex toy, please?”
“It better be your favorite toy,” I say.
“Guess we’ll find out.”
Heat charges through me, followed by my own laughter. This woman. She’s sexy and witty, caring and giving. Strong-willed and submissive at times too. If I’m not careful, I’ll fall hard for her.

About IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA (Coming 3/3/2026):
He ghosted me once, now he’s supposed to protect me?
I don’t need a bodyguard—I run a small-town lavender farm, for bee’s sake. But when my identical twin sister lands the movie role of a lifetime that’s being shot in my hometown I get one anyway.
And guess which broody, tattooed protector the studio sends to keep the paparazzi off my porch?
Last month’s almost one-night stand.
The guy with the wicked mouth and heated eyes who slipped out before the fun even started. But turns out the sexy jerk is excellent at rescuing me from sneaky photographers at the market. Then the coffee shop. I’m trying hard to stay mad after the third time my new bodyguard saves me.
To top it all off, he’s staying in the cottage at my farm. With me. And there’s only one bed.
Maybe if we finally give in and finish what we started, it’ll relieve the tension? But one night quickly turns into another. Then into late-night secrets and soft confessions we shouldn’t say out loud. Especially since he’s leaving and I’m staying, and there’s no way we can be more than a summer romance that ends far too soon.
