And what better way to explore than a secret romp? No strings, and no one has to know. The problem? With every passing week, I fall harder for Atlas, who's far more than his drool-worthy muscles and heroic job.

Help! I've inherited my aunt's historic house in small-town Oregon, and I need to fix it up and sell it fast before I move on to my big-city dreams. I'm one of the navy's best investigators, but twenty years of living in base housing means DIY isn't part of my extensive skill set. Luckily, my best friend has the solution: his twenty-three-year-old son.
