All For You
By Christi Barth
Book two of Shore Secrets
Small-town park ranger Casey Hobbes has spent her life under the radar, carefully guarding a secret. “The forest flirt,” as her best friend calls her, keeps things casual with men. That way she’ll never care enough to be tempted to share the truth about her past. But when she spots a half-naked stranger on the lake’s edge, Casey can’t resist his muscles or his charm and she’s all-in for enjoying both, while keeping emotion out of it. What could be the danger of one summer fling?
Professor Zane Buchanan has built his entire career on exposing the dark realities of cults, but one—the Sunshine Seekers—remains infuriatingly impossible to crack. Zane’s shocked to discover its sole anonymous survivor is hiding in his new hometown. It’s nearly impossible to concentrate on work, however, when he’s derailed by his attraction to the beautiful blonde in khaki uniform shorts.
As things between Casey and Zane heat up, she struggles with keeping her past from him. And Zane’s on a quest to expose the truth, no matter the consequences. Will their growing emotions finally unseal Casey’s big secret? Or will she turn her back on love to keep the past safely buried?

Previously available as Wedding Survivor (Thrillseekers Anonymous series).
When a wedding planner’s first gig teams her up with a sexy stuntman, will she crash and burn…or be airlifted to love?
Tall, lithe ex-stuntman Eli McCain may speak with a Texas drawl, but this modern-day cowboy prefers hurricane windsurfing to herding cattle. Along with three friends, he cofounded Thrillseekers Anonymous, an extreme sports club that caters to the ultrarich and superfamous. But when the club agrees to stage a huge—and hugely profitable—extreme sports–themed celebrity wedding, Eli gets furious; he’s still bitter about getting jilted at the altar and wants nothing to do with veils or vows.
Copper-haired chatterbox Marnie Banks dove headfirst into wedding planning after she was laid off from a dot-com start-up. The union of megawatt stars Olivia Dagwood and Vincent Vittorio may be her first solo wedding job, but it could make all her dreams come true: She’ll make Hollywood connections. She’ll finally move out of her parents’ house. And she’ll meet a decent guy, for once.
But when the wedding turns from extreme to extremely disastrous, Eli and Marnie must work together against the elements, their bickering clients, and their own smoldering attraction to save the day. Will the sparks flying between them ignite into something real and passionate…or will they both end up burned?

JaxonThere’s the best of the best, and then there’s me, the best of the best of the best. I’m a soldier, a special forces operative with over a hundred successful missions behind me, or at least I was, until a mother and child died under my watch, and I forced myself into retirement, promising I’d never put innocent people’s lives at risk again. There is nothing that can get me back into the field except the one thing I never expected to lose in the first place: Ruby Anderson. She walked out of me five years ago, and I haven’t heard from her since. Now she’s in serious trouble, time’s already running out, and I’m the only one in a position to help her. I won’t be able to live with myself if I lose her again, but the only chance I’ve got of saving her is doing what I promised I wouldn’t do, by getting back into the field.It’s an impossible choice, and a suicide mission, but when it comes down to extremes, there isn’t anyone better qualified. At the very least, she owes me a kiss goodbye. RubyThe last person I want to be thinking about right now is Jaxon.There is a very good chance I’m not going to make it out of here alive, so the last thing I want to be doing is wasting my time on him.His perfect abs, his cocky arrogance, his swollen ego. I’ve survived perfectly well for the last five years without him, and there’s no way I’m going to give in now. They might have me bound and gagged, there might be twenty heavily armed fighters between me and freedom, this might be the very situation he’s trained his entire life for, and there might be a secret I haven’t been able to bring myself to tell him, but even so, he’s out of my life for good now, he has no idea where I am anyway, and there are much better things for me to focus on. I left Jaxon for a perfectly good reason, and there’s not a single one that would make me look back now. Not even if I need him, more than anything else on this earth.This is a steamy, full-length, bad boy romance with a happy ever after and absolutely no cheating. For your reading pleasure, I have included two additional novels: Donkey and Donkey Doubled. Prime is 50,000 words and ends approximately a third of the way through the book. Views: 14
