In the follow-up to Risking It All, hailed by Lauren Layne as “the perfect escapist read,” the heartthrobs of the Naked Men blog and podcast get a little too real about friendship, love, and sex. For one wealthy bachelor, the trouble starts when all three collide. . . . 

USA Today bestselling author Christi Barth launches a sexy new series about three bad-boy brothers in Witness Protection who are about to learn that going good is harder than they thought...

Doctor Mollie Vickers loves the tight-knit community of her tiny Oregon town. But she’s not a fan of the limited dating options. Sleep with a guy who tried to copy off her in junior high? Pass. Mollie’s sex life is flatlining… until a deliciously handsome man she’s never seen before stops to help her fix a flat tire.

As an ex-mobster, Rafe Maguire’s no saint. But he’s trying to turn over a new leaf. Although he probably shouldn’t kiss the hot doctor on the side of the highway. Or suggest a no-strings fling with a woman he has no business pursuing. Rafe’s life is too complicated for love—his new WITSEC-provided identity doesn’t fit him at all and there’s a U.S. Marshal watching his every move. He can’t tell Mollie the truth… but their chemistry is scorching and being good doesn’t mean he can’t be a little bad.

Mollie can’t resist the guy who looks rough, talks tough, and is loyal to the bone. But it’s obvious Rafe is keeping secrets. When the truth comes out, Mollie must decide if she could ever love an ex-mobster… or if this bad boy has truly gone good.

A Chicago florist struggles with revealing her longtime lust for a hotel manager lothario who's about to be shipped back to England.

For years, wedding florist Daphne Lovell harbored a secret crush on one of her best friends. When the lights go out in a hotel ballroom, she seizes the opportunity to kiss him senseless. It works, but too well. He searches the room, trying to find the mystery pair of lips. Only... he never thinks to ask the woman standing by his side.

Gibson Moore’s friends joke that he manages a hotel so he always has a fresh batch of women to hit on. The lothario Brit doesn’t discount that perk of his job. But he’s ready to halt the cavalcade of women if only he can find the one who kisses like a dream. Why is it his friend Daphne refuses to help him with the search?

Life gets upended when Gib’s hotel is sold, and the new company refuses to let an Englishman manage their American hotel. Should he scramble to stay in Chicago? Or take the dream job offered to him back in London, a place he’d sworn never to return? Daphne gets chosen to compete in a reality television flower show that could lead to her exit from the Windy City. Will they go their separate ways, or let their burgeoning love bloom?

Anda Weiss knows that going on a reality show to find love is, well, desperate. But after years of putting her love life second to her career, that’s how low she’s willing to stoop. Miraculously, the hot guy starring in Man Of Her Dreams is nice. Surprisingly normal. Altogether terrific. And Chance DiMarco kisses so well she forgets cameras are taping every second. Until she spends a red hot night with him, only to have all of America watch him kick her off the show.

Seven months later, Anda decides that a mind-blowing one-night stand is the only way to move past her humiliation. But the man she hits on at a Vegas resort is far from a stranger. Anda seizes her chance to get payback on Chance. At least, that’s her plan...

But does she have it in her to use Chance for a few more nights of great sex and then turn the tables and dump him? Is that revenge worth undoing all her healing? Will Anda leave with the satisfaction of another steamy hook-up with Chance? Or could her epic humiliation actually end up bringing her to the man of her dreams?

When two people make beautiful music together on stage, can their love survive once the curtain falls?

Linnea Larson is willing to do anything to keep her family’s Minneapolis dinner theatre from going under.  Anything, that is, besides accepting a date from the Hollywood hunk her father hired to inject a dose of star power into their production of Guys & Dolls.  It’s a toss up whether his greatest claim to fame is playing a superhero on screen, or a super stud off screen.  Neither fact convinces her he’s got what it takes to share her stage.  And thanks to a life long pact with her best friend, she never dates actors.

Luke Powell has fame, fortune, and an endless string of women, but also a lingering dissatisfaction with his picture perfect life.  Looking for a change, he escapes to his theatrical roots.  What he finds are wary cast mates, a nervous best friend convinced the show will ruin Luke’s career, and an adorable costar who stubbornly refuses to go out with him.  Suddenly singing and dancing aren’t the only challenges he’ll tackle over the summer.  Far from the spotlights of Hollywood, can he find happiness in the footlights of a tiny theatre?

Despite Luke dragging her into his daily paparazzi nightmare, Linnea can’t deny her mounting attraction to his irresistible charm.  And even if she’s crazy enough to chance getting involved, their fling would have a guaranteed expiration date.  He’s leaving at the end of the run, and she’s tied to her family’s theatre.  Why risk the inevitable heartbreak?  Their job is to act like they’re in love, but will they decide it’s worth the leap to fall in love for real?

I’m thrilled that my first trip back to my homeland, after years in exile, is for an assignment from the prime minister. Even better, the job's to put Princess Genevieve in her place...by cutting off her cash flow. Spoiled royals—even drop-dead gorgeous ones—don't do anything to deserve their wealth and status. Hell, they don't do anything. She's fighting me tooth and nail, of course. The only way to stop her arguing is, well, to kiss her.

And I can't seem to stay away from her. Now I see a whole different side to the princess—and not just because I've gotten her clothes off. But I was put on this assignment for a reason… Those outside the castle want to see the Princess discredited and push their own agenda, and I may have just given them all the ammunition they need.

All Hallie Scott ever wanted was to be a librarian. Now she had her dream job. Life was perfect. Until her best friend secretly signed her up to run for mayor of their small Maine town. All Mayor Fitz Montgomery ever wanted was...well, it didn’t matter what he wanted. His family had run Swan Cove--and owned much of it--for almost two centuries. It was expected that he take up the mantle of mayor. He didn’t like it. He didn’t hate it. Mostly, Fitz didn’t want to rock the boat.

Raised in the much poorer neighboring town all of Swan Cove sneered at, Hallie didn’t think she had a chance at winning. She marched down to City Hall to pull out. Until she heard handsome-and-he-knows-it Mayor Fitz making jokes about her last-minute addition to the ballot. Now she still doesn’t so much want to be mayor--she just wants him to lose. So she turns to her beloved books to find a way to beat his entitled ass.

There’s no way the current mayor can lose to the librarian. But she’s...awkward at campaign events. Fitz wants it to at least be a fair fight. He starts helping her--even when she starts gaining in the polls. He’s still certain he’ll win the mayorship he doesn’t want. The chances are growing, however, that he’ll lose his heart in the process...
