Excerpt: Dad’s Best Friend
Special Invite from Miley
Blurb
Five HOT Alpha men that will make you feel things you’ve never felt before!
Immerse yourself into the holiday season following these 5 hot, rugged, and possessive alpha men in their quests to find their happily ever after.
Book One: The Christmas Proposal
I thought crushing on my big brother’s best friend was no big deal. I thought that I’d get over it in time.
But no, I only wanted him more when I grew up.
Grayson was everything I needed after my recent breakup.
He should’ve been a quick fling.
Nothing about us was supposed to be permanent.
But when my pregnancy test reads positive, I know that hearts will be broken, relationships will be ruined, and the drama will begin.
Book Two: Stranded
All I want for Christmas is to convince my handsome bad boy that he has a chance at love -- with me.
Logan lived his life on his own terms, in a cabin in the woods.
But deep inside, he was covering up his own pain.
He made me want to take risks, with my body, and with my heart.
I might be a virgin, but I was determined to make him notice me.
I’m in love with my rugged mountain man.
Will I ever break through the wall around his heart?
Book Three: Her Secret Santa
I spent years running from love… and then I ran into my gorgeous employee.
The woman who took my breath… and my sanity away.
I can’t stop obsessing over her.
Julie is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever been with.
Her life is in danger and I can’t stand her ex-husband threatening to harm her.
The man doesn’t know who he’s messing with.
He has no idea that I would destroy him before he ever gets the
chance to lay a finger on her.
This Christmas is all about healing past wounds and making Julie mine.
No matter what the cost…
Book Four: The Perfect Reunion
My biggest blunder was losing the love of my life… my wife.
The worse part? I deserved it.
I had secrets. Ugly ones.
And it was time for them to come out.
My destruction was inevitable.
But I’ve since gained my senses back.
And I’ve made myself a promise.
I’m determined to undo the damage.
I will marry her again.
Come what may.
Book Five: The Perfect Fix
I know that my neighbor hates me.
But I also know that she’s impossible to resist.
I knew that she was mine the second I laid my eyes on her.
I knew that that my world had changed in an instant.
The only hiccup?
Aisha’s attitude.
Something’s going on with her.
She’s… mean.
Her heart is closed off.
But I can deal with her sassiness, her attitude.
I’ll find a way to tame her, and I’ll stop at nothing to make her mine.
The Christmas Proposal
Blurb
I thought crushing on my big brother’s best friend was no big deal. I thought that I’d get over it in time.
But no, I only wanted him more when I grew up.
I knew that he remembered me just as clearly as I remembered him.
He rejected me all those years ago because I was too young.
But the odds are still against us.
Grayson is a billionaire.
He’s my soon-to-be boss.
And most importantly, my brother would never approve of our relationship.
Grayson values their friendship.
Maybe more than he values our love.
But one thing’s for sure.
He can’t keep his hands off me.
Grayson was everything I needed after my recent breakup.
He should’ve been a quick fling.
A childhood crush that I needed to get out of my system.
Nothing about us was supposed to be permanent.
But when my pregnancy test reads positive, I know that hearts will be broken, relationships will be ruined, and the drama will begin.
Everything just in time for Christmas.

It didn’t necessarily come as a surprise to me when my long-term boyfriend, Ethan, told me that he wanted to break up with me. Things hadn’t been going the best between us for a while. He was mad that I didn’t have a job yet, and we no longer had much chemistry in the bedroom. He had wanted me to move in with him but I refused, and that was when I knew that things would never be the same between us.
Still, I had assumed that the two of us would at least stay together through the holidays. Where we lived in Sonora, Northern California, the winter months were cold and icy, and the perfect time to have someone to hold. On top of that, we had already made plans with each other’s families. But yesterday, he told me that we were no longer together and I shouldn’t come crying to him about it either. So I was effectively single for the holidays, and would be spending them with my family.
I loved my family. I had an older brother, Sebastian, who I was close to and my parents were both caring. But they didn’t always understand me very well. After being rejected from Juilliard, my dream school, I had completed two agonizing years of community college and decided that I didn’t want to do anything else with my life. They kept telling me that it would pass soon and I would find a passion that could support me, but I didn’t know if I believed them.
I had no luck getting any sort of steady job. So, aside from the occasional babysitting gig that I was too old for anyways, I filled my time practicing my harp and dreaming of the day when I could join an orchestra or go on a tour. Which, based on the fact that I had been rejected from one of the best music schools in the country, was not very likely to happen.
It was the day before Thanksgiving and I was reading a book on my bed, trying to decide if another hour of practice would bother my parents too much, when there was a knock at my door.
“Come in,” I said, pushing aside my book and sitting up.
In came Sebastian, my older brother by six years. Whereas I was fair, he had inherited our father’s darker complexion. He was handsome and very nice, but tended to tease as older brothers did too often. His girlfriend had wanted him to come over to her family’s house for Thanksgiving, but he declined, telling her he needed to spend some more time with me. Of course, her response to that was he spent a lot of time with me already since I was home all the time, but I tried not to dwell on that.
“Guess what?” he said, looking a little too excited.
I edged back slightly suspicious. Was he hiding a pie somewhere? Was this another prank? “What?” I asked, trying to decide whether my book would make a good shield.
“I think I have some news that will cheer you up.”
This caught my attention and made me perk up eagerly. I really could use a pick-me-up now, so it was worth listening to whatever he had to say, pie or no pie.
“What is it?”
“Do you remember Grayson?”
“Grayson Davis?” He nodded. “Of course, I remember Grayson! How could I forget him of all people?”
Grayson had been Sebastian’s best friend for a very long time. When I was eleven, I developed a huge crush on him and would always crash in on whatever they were doing. While Sebastian usually got annoyed, Grayson was so kind and always ready to include me. This led to me confessing to him that I liked him. He was seventeen at the time, and looking back I really was a fool to think that it ever would work out. Of course he didn’t want to be with an eleven-year-old. He wouldn’t even accept the advances of the cute freshmen at his high school, much less those of a sixth grader.
Grayson did end up rejecting me, very kindly, but I was heartbroken, of course. I cried in my room for weeks, devouring all sorts of books and even composing heartbroken songs on my harp, which I had just started to learn at that point.
Then Grayson and his parents moved away suddenly, all the way to New York. I haven’t seen him since then, though I know he and Sebastian have visited each other a couple of times over the years and frequently keep in touch.
“I don’t know, you do tend to do some crazy things,” my brother said, laughing to himself.
“Well, what about Grayson?”
“He’s coming to visit us and his childhood home. He’ll be here for Thanksgiving.”
“What?” I stood up immediately. Grayson? In our house? Again? My cheeks were growing red just thinking about it. The last time I had seen him he was seventeen, but now he was thirty, as old as my brother. Would he still be as handsome? Or perhaps more? Would he still be kind, sweet?
And would he finally see me as a woman?
Apparently my childhood crush on him had never gone away, because the thought sent blood rushing to my face. Sebastian started laughing, of course. “Don’t tell me your crush is back.”
“No! Of course not!” I stammered. “I was eleven then; things are different now. I’m much more mature.”
“Uh huh, and you’re hoping he’ll see that?”
“Stop!” I stood, lunging to slam the door in my brother’s face, but he caught it with his foot and stepped inside.
“It sounds to me like you’re protesting just a little too much.”
“You know that’s not what I mean.” I hung my head, hoping that staring at my shoes would conceal my ever-deepening blush. Why did Sebastian have to know me so well?
