Buffed & Polished Series by Liz Alden

Two little words that will forever change the way I see my best friend’s sister: boudoir session. Bailey Price earns the big bucks in New York City, while I’m cleaning houses as a side gig in our hometown. I love the town, but Bailey only comes home when she has to. Then she shows up at my photography studio asking for a boudoir shoot and suddenly I’m the one exposed. Every click of my camera reveals another reason why I can’t look away: her curves, her wit, her defensive edge... moreTwo little words that will forever change the way I see my best friend’s sister: boudoir session. Bailey Price earns the big bucks in New York City, while I’m cleaning houses as a side gig in our hometown. I love the town, but Bailey only comes home when she has to. Then she shows up at my photography studio asking for a boudoir shoot and suddenly I’m the one exposed. Every click of my camera reveals another reason why I can’t look away: her curves, her wit, her defensive edge. I can’t play it safe. Not when she’s looking at me like I’m the only man who’s ever really seen her. Not when every photo taken becomes foreplay. I have to face the truth: I’ve been in love with her since we were teens. There’s just one problem: her brother. My best friend. The guy who’s protected Bailey with his fists ever since childhood, who trusts me not to cross that line. But Bailey’s making it really hard to remember why I ever resisted in the first place. The question is: how long can a good guy resist his bad ideas? Bailey Bangs Her Brother’s Best Friend features forbidden love, small-town romance, and a patient hero who’s been head over heels since childhood. Expect high heat, emotional depth, a curvy heroine’s journey to self-acceptance, and an HEA that’s worth breaking all the rules for. This steamy stand-alone romance is book one in the Buffed & Polished Small Town Romcom series. less

Every time Rory Fox walks into my small-town bar with her leather jacket, dark braids, and resting bitch face, I fall a bit more in love. That’s right, folks, I’m officially off the market and hanging up my reputation. She’s the grumpy to my sunshine, the black cat to my golden retriever, the Morticia Addams to my Gomez—without the accents and the creepy kids. Rory’s an outsider in the small town of Here, New York, but as we Herevians like to say—you belong Here... moreEvery time Rory Fox walks into my small-town bar with her leather jacket, dark braids, and resting bitch face, I fall a bit more in love. That’s right, folks, I’m officially off the market and hanging up my reputation. She’s the grumpy to my sunshine, the black cat to my golden retriever, the Morticia Addams to my Gomez—without the accents and the creepy kids. Rory’s an outsider in the small town of Here, New York, but as we Herevians like to say—you belong Here. Or at least, they do as long as the town can stay alive. The ski resort that brings in tourists is up for sale and our jobs are all at stake. When I inherit my grandmother’s enormous diamond ring, I know exactly what to do with it—sell it and use the money to pool together with my friends and save our town. If only my terrible family—my negligent mom and small-time drug dealing brother—don’t hear about this windfall. But first, I’m going to pull the biggest prank of my life—in front of the whole bar, I’m gonna propose to Rory. I hope she’ll laugh her head off. Instead . . . she says yes. Rory Rides Her Fake Fiancé features fake dating, small-town romance, and a smitten hero who falls in love despite her claws. There’s a cranky meddling grandmother, found family, and a biker chick who uses eye rolls and deadpan humor to protect her soft and gooey heart. This steamy romance is book two in the Buffed & Polished series, but can be read as a standalone. less
