Enjoy this steamy BBW series by USA TODAY Bestselling small town romance author Mary E Thompson Brantley Do. Not. Fall for Valentina again. Do. Not. I can’t take it a second time. Oh, who am I kidding. I never stopped loving Valentina. I messed up when we were young. I never imagined introducing her to my college roommate would mean watching her fall for him, marry him, build a life with him, and have it all blow up in her face. I really wasn’t happy about that last one. I wasn’t heartbroken by it either, but I hated seeing her hurt. She deserved better. She deserved the world. She was perfect. She was everything I’d ever wanted in a woman. I tried to get over her. For years. I told myself it was too late for us. But I didn’t think she’d be single again more than twenty years after I fell in love with her. Falling for her again might kill me, but watching her fall for someone else will destroy me. Maybe there’s a chance for us. Valentina My divorce is final. I’m single again. Everyone says I should date. Get back on the horse and all that. I’m too raw. Too scared. Not because I’m still in love with my ex but because dating opens me up to being a fool again. Brantley is safe, though. He can be my shield. He has been for as long as I can remember. Coaxing me out of my shell and helping me step into myself. He’s there now, like he’s always been. Bringing me dinner, taking me out for drinks, being the favorite uncle for my daughters now that their father is gone. The more time I spend with Brantley, the more I see the man I never noticed. Kind, smart, affectionate. He’s all the things I’d want in a man if I was willing to date again. Hell, he’s all the things I want in a man no matter what. But falling for him is a bad idea. Isn’t it?

Curvy Girl Romance Series - USA Today Bestselling contemporary romance author Repeat after me: Do NOT fall for your employee. Nico Resisting Laura was getting harder and harder every day. Seeing her talking and laughing with patients and watching the shutters close when she looked at me was painful. I deserved it, but it was not easy. Not when I wanted to know everything there was to know about her. If only I wasn’t her boss. Crossing that line wasn’t a good idea. We had important work to do. Work that saved lives and helped people. I couldn’t risk it. I wouldn’t. But hearing about her dates was driving me crazy. If I could meet someone, maybe I could forget about her. There had to be someone on the online dating app who would take my mind off of her. Laura Life’s too short for regrets. I learned that day after day working with patients living and dying with cancer. They all told me the same thing. Stop being afraid of living my life and grab it by the balls. So, I listened. I stopped wondering when my boss was going to notice me. I stopped wishing he would see me as more than just his nurse. I stopped declining dates with other men in hopes Nico would one day ask me out. I am not so evolved that I actually stopped hoping something would happen, but I had to move on. People were dying with regrets, and I couldn’t live with mine. I never thought dating other men would make Nico notice me. I never expected him to be pissed off. And I sure as hell never thought he’d be jealous. But I definitely liked that side of him. The side that said he wanted me. It wasn’t going to be that easy, though. He needed to work for it. One kiss, one touch, one panty-melting word at a time.

What I find the most hurtful and the hardest, is liking someone only to have them fall in love with my younger and prettier sister. Or have guys befriend and pretend to be kind to me so that they can get close to her. It truly hurts knowing I'm being used for someone else's goals.
