The Sterling Brothers Series by Layla Hagen

Chase Sterling is a pompous grump—a gorgeous one, but still a grump. I meet him at the airport while waiting for the flight to my sister’s wedding. It’s delayed and no one is happy, but Mr. Arrogant Sterling thinks he’s the only one of importance. After we exchange a few heated words, I curl up in my chair and ignore him until we board. Whatever, it’s not like I’ll ever see him again... moreChase Sterling is a pompous grump—a gorgeous one, but still a grump. I meet him at the airport while waiting for the flight to my sister’s wedding. It’s delayed and no one is happy, but Mr. Arrogant Sterling thinks he’s the only one of importance. After we exchange a few heated words, I curl up in my chair and ignore him until we board. Whatever, it’s not like I’ll ever see him again. Except, I do! And if I couldn’t be any less lucky, he’s the best man! I don’t want him ruining my sister’s big day, so I keep a very close eye on Mr. Fancy Pants. One sensual dance and a stolen kiss later, I realize that there is more to Chase Sterling than the grumpy ass I first met at the airport. After the wedding, I get back to reality. I’m trying to save the inn I inherited from my grandmother, but it ate up all my savings. That’s why I desperately need a job. So when Sterling Investments offers me a position, I accept — planning to avoid Chase Sterling at all costs. Will I manage to see this grump as my boss and forget all about our stolen kisses? Time will tell. But judging by the seductive smile he gives me as he welcomes me in, I’m pretty sure that I will fail. .. less

Duncan Sterling needs to hire a nanny. And fast. When I'm not making my son waffles for breakfast or teaching him how to swim, I am running a billion-dollar business. My life is scheduled to the minute, and that’s the way it has to be. So, when my nanny unexpectedly quits, I need to find a replacement ASAP. Riley is not what I expected. She's so damn attractive—and funny — not nanny material at all. But seeing her with Jeremy makes me realize she's exactly who he needs... moreDuncan Sterling needs to hire a nanny. And fast. When I'm not making my son waffles for breakfast or teaching him how to swim, I am running a billion-dollar business. My life is scheduled to the minute, and that’s the way it has to be. So, when my nanny unexpectedly quits, I need to find a replacement ASAP. Riley is not what I expected. She's so damn attractive—and funny — not nanny material at all. But seeing her with Jeremy makes me realize she's exactly who he needs. I just have to burn into my brain that she's totally off limits. It's been my son and me for years, ever since his mother left us. And from that point on, I've sworn to myself that I wouldn't bring another woman into Jeremy's life. Why confuse the poor kid with someone else that will probably leave? Nope. No dating at all! That’s worked well until now. But the more time I spend with Riley, the more I realize she's exactly what I need too. less

I don’t give a damn what people say about me. I’m successful and confident—one of San Diego’s youngest CEOs. But when my womanizer rep costs me a major business deal, I’ve got a problem. One of my brothers suggests a fake girlfriend. Ridiculous. Then I spot the perfect opportunity. At a bar, I overhear a stunning blonde getting utterly humiliated by her ex—who casually informs her he dumped her to marry someone else. What an idiot. She looks like she needs rescuing... moreI don’t give a damn what people say about me. I’m successful and confident—one of San Diego’s youngest CEOs. But when my womanizer rep costs me a major business deal, I’ve got a problem. One of my brothers suggests a fake girlfriend. Ridiculous. Then I spot the perfect opportunity. At a bar, I overhear a stunning blonde getting utterly humiliated by her ex—who casually informs her he dumped her to marry someone else. What an idiot. She looks like she needs rescuing. So I sit at their table and kiss her like I’ve done it a million times. After the jerk bails, I make her a deal: be my fake date for one business dinner. Phoebe agrees. It should’ve been simple, but the dinner turns into a weekend at a beach house. One bedroom. Too much wine. One unforgettable night. The next morning, she tries to pretend it didn’t happen. Phoebe is nothing like the women I usually date. She’s hardworking, has a sharp sense of humor, and she’s the most selfless person I’ve met. That’s why I want more. I just have to prove that there’s more to me than she thinks. I’m close to my family. I spoil my nephew. I’m ready to change. Phoebe is still hurting and wants to play it safe. But I won’t give up. Because this fake relationship is starting to feel very real. less

Hot-headed. Stubborn. Absolutely no impulse control. That’s who I am, according to my brothers and business partners. We run one of the top companies in the country, and we’re growing fast. When I start interviewing for a key position, my brothers firmly advise me against hiring Kinley. Of course, I hire her anyway, and not just because she’s insanely gorgeous. She’s hard-working, ambitious, and a perfect match. Unfortunately, she comes with baggage... moreHot-headed. Stubborn. Absolutely no impulse control.

She’s hard-working, ambitious, and a perfect match. Unfortunately, she comes with baggage. Her ex framed her in an infamous corporate scandal. She was cleared in the court, yet the media was unforgiving. But Kinley isn’t the woman the headlines painted. She’s not conniving. She’s smart. She’s not cold. She’s careful. And she’s not distant. She just won’t allow anyone to get too close. But that’s all I want. Despite my intention to stay away from her, I can’t stop fantasizing about kissing her senseless and worshipping her body. Then, when we fly to Napa together to scout a new business, all my good intentions go up in smoke. Spending hours on end with her during the day is too much of a temptation. Sharing the same cabin at night is torture. I’m tired of pretending I don’t want her in my bed, and my life. More than that, I want to protect her from everyone who hurt her. I’ll fight like hell not only to make her mine, but to earn her trust. Because once I have Kinley, I intend to keep her forever. less
