Madison Girls — Mari Carr

Kiss Me, Kate Blindsided when her husband skips town with another woman, Kate is forced to move in with her sister. Desperate to get out of Jill's apartment, Kate jumps at the chance to help Rick and Wes, DEA agents whose latest case finds them in urgent need of a house-sitter while they're off on assignment. As the months pass, a stronger Kate emerges. She develops an email friendship with Rick, and it isn't long before they secretly begin starring in each other's lust-filled fantasies. Problem is, after her failed marriage, Kate only wants a physical relationship. She's terrified of losing her heart -- which is exactly what Rick intends to capture upon his return. They reach a compromise. One that involves explosive, no-strings sexâ€"for now. Rick patiently deflects her fears and slakes her passion while keeping his darker, dominant needs in check, afraid of scaring his innocent lover. But unbeknownst to Rick, Kate has a few untapped fantasies of her own. Three Reasons Why Wes wants Jill in every possible way a man can want a woman. But she's resisting. Hard. When he learns she needs a handyman for her diner, he decides fate is smiling upon him -- until Jill offers three reasons why they can't be together. Always up for a challenge, Wes decides to prove her ridiculous reasons unsound, one by one. Jill knows her reasons are total bull, but she's sticking by them, come hell or high water. Unfortunately, Wes is extremely persuasive. Especially in bed. If the sex gets any hotter they'll likely burn down the town. Before long, Jill's reasons begin falling away as fast as her clothing whenever Wes is around. But Jill knows exactly what Wes wants for his future, and she's just prolonging the inevitable heartbreak. The real reason she can't give herself to Wes, can't allow herself to love him, can only lead to pain -- the kind from which neither may ever recover.
