Conor’s shaken by the mess he’s made and no longer trusts his heart. Book smart but love dumb, he decides acting with more calculation in matters of the heart is the key to moving forward. He starts by wooing back his ex, Colette, and quickly ends up engaged—and in over his head. When Conor’s old schoolmate, Felicity, unexpectedly returns to his world, he gravitates with increasing frequency toward their renewed friendship. Harmless flirting soon turns into real temptation and suddenly Conor’s questioning whether his impetuous reunion with Colette means he’s missed his chance with the right woman. Felicity is still stinging from a brutal divorce and wary of her old friend’s rock star ways. She wants stability, not the boy who ran off to join the rock circus and never had a proper job or responsibilities. But that doesn’t mean she’s immune to his charms. At the same time, wounded, passionate singer Gavin has a song-writing epiphany that convinces him he can't stay stuck in the past. And he knows what matters most is his wife, since he refuses to believe their love story is over. As Conor’s wedding rapidly approaches and Gavin attempts to reunite with his wife, both men must also find a way to keep their band together as they strive and stumble toward something resembling redemption—with each other and with the women they’re meant to be with.Order of the Rogue Series:Tangled Up In YouPlaying At LoveHitting That Sweet Spot (coming soon!) less

She's a (mostly) professional woman.Their history together has made having a relationship...problematic.But if they take a chance, can they find a solution - and love?Danny BoyI've somehow done the impossible: I got the girl I wanted. Only, I have no idea how to make a lovely person like Amelia Patterson, my former therapist, happy. She's a respectable woman. I'm a recovering . . . everything. Just barely getting a life together. Though she may claim I have something to offer, it's only a matter of time before she recoils from the reality of what I am. At least, that's what the old me - Danny Boy - keeps thinking. The new me - Daniel - has to figure out how to make this work, even when it turns out Amelia and I want totally different things. Amelia I've thrown all caution to the wind and decided the fact that I was once Daniel's therapist is not a big enough deterrent to keep from having a relationship with him. I never should have crossed that line. But I took a chance. Because I couldn't get him out of my head. I couldn't get him out of my heart. The thing is, for all the work I did with him, and for all the progress he's made, he's still incredibly damaged. Is this really what I want? To be with a man who requires so much? It's a question I have to figure out, especially when it becomes clear that Daniel and I want totally different things. ***This book should be read *after* reading Looking For Trouble and Felicity Found. The other books in the series (including the Christmas novella) do not have to be read to enjoy this one, but it would definitely enhance the experience! less
