Free What She Craves by Anne Rainey

be choosy.”
    “Do you enjoy the work?”
    “I can set my own hours. I don’t have a boss breathing down my neck. The money is good. All in all, not too bad. Every job has its drawbacks, though.”
    Just then the waiter came over and asked if they wanted dessert. She was about to refuse, but Gage spoke up before she could get the words out.
    “What do you have in the way of chocolate?”
    “Our chocolate pie is pretty popular.”
    “Send us a big slice.”
    “Us?”
    He pushed his plate away. “I’m not eating it all by myself. You’re helping.”
    Her stomach loved the idea, but her hips not so much. “Uh-uh, I can’t afford the calories.”
    His gaze traveled to her chest and back up again. “A few bites of pie won’t hurt. Trust me.”
    She laughed and caved. “Who am I to refuse chocolate?”
    He winked. “That’s the spirit.”
     
    As they drove home, Gage had to grip the steering wheel to keep his hands from reaching toward Summer. Damn, it’d been hell watching her eat the chocolate pie. The little sounds of satisfaction she made after each bite had his mind going straight to the gutter.
    He took his eyes off the road long enough to see her stroking the smooth leather seat with a fingertip.
    Hell, Gage wanted that finger on the head of his dick. She wiggled as if attempting to get more comfortable. The movement caused her pretty breasts to jiggle beneath her beige tank top. To keep from

    “Yes, we are,” she whispered.
    His gaze roamed over her possessively before he leaned in and brushed his lips over hers. “Like satin.
    I bet you’re like that all over, aren’t you, sweetheart?”
    “M-maybe you should find out for yourself.”
    Could he be hearing her right? “Summer?”
    “I should be playing hard to get, I know, but I want you, Gage.”
    “I want you too.”
    She eyed his crotch and smiled. “I sort of gathered.”
    He stroked her hair, enjoying the soft strands beneath his fingers. “You go to a man’s head, sweetheart.”
    “I’m glad.”
    He cupped her cheek and murmured, “You’re sure?”
    “Very.”
    Hell, yeah.
     
    Love takes courage. Loving two men takes twice as much.
     
    The Boys Next Door

    At seventeen, Tommy Ambinder was Annie Parsons’ first love, the center of her world. Almost.
    There was a secret spot reserved for Judah, Tommy’s elder brother. On the day she discovered Judah wanted her, as well, the aftermath drove Annie out of town—and a wedge between the men she loved.
    Now, haunted by guilt, Annie has returned to Melgrove, Montana with one hope in her heart—that twenty years has overcome the rift between the Ambinder boys. If they’ve mended fences, maybe she can repair her own life too.
    Tommy’s missed Annie all these years, but he never realized how much until one glimpse reignites the passion that time hasn’t quenched. Something else hasn’t changed, either—half of her heart still belongs to Judah.
    Now, with Annie poised to run again, history is threatening to repeat itself—unless one of them has the courage to break free of the pattern and blaze a new trail that’s wide enough for all three.
    Warning: This book contains all the volcanic intensity of first love, searing-hot sex scenes, and two brothers sharing the one woman they love!
     
    Enjoy the following excerpt for The Boys Next Door: Judah froze in shock as Annie buried her face against his chest, her arms wrapped around him so tight he could feel her heart thudding. “Oh God, Judah!” Tears were streaming down her face as she babbled, “I thought you were gone, I didn’t know what happened, the house was all empty and I didn’t know where you were!”
    She looked up at him finally, a frantic sort of happiness shining in her eyes. “How are you? How’s Tommy? Is he okay? God,
