“You… what? You really did that? For me?” he paused, searching her expression, trying to decide if she was telling the truth or if this was more Andi-level insanity. “Andi, I’m sorry. I’m sorry I yelled. Sorry I stormed out. It’s just, my sister gave it to me and it means a lot to me.”
“I know.” She took it off him and carefully slipped it over his head. He felt the weight of it, secure against his heart.
He stared at her, mystified. “The reserve bid I put in was five hundred dollars.”
“Someone else wanted it more.”
“And you kept bidding against them?”
“On my phone, during the concert.”
“How did you get it here so fast?”
She shook her head, refusing to answer. He frowned, puzzling it through. “The seller was at this gig. Someone on the crew? That’s how they got a hold of it, huh?”
She tilted her head, smile apologetic, still refusing to answer, but he knew he was right.
“Mother fucker…” he balled his fists. “I bet it was that asshole Anton.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Andi said. “You have it back now.”
Suddenly he felt like an idiot. And a huge jerk.
“Thank you,” he paused, studying her in the streetlight. She was beautiful. But there were a lot of beautiful women. More importantly, she was crazy and smart and poured all her energy into making things better for other people—for the people she cared about. Driven. Creative. Full of a kind of passion and life that eclipsed any other woman he’d met before.
“Andi,” he said hesitantly. “Go on a date with me.”
“When?”
“Now. Right now. Just let me go back upstairs and get my wallet.”
She hesitated, glancing at her phone. “Ah, I’d love to but…”
His heart sunk. “What is it? You don’t have a boyfriend do you?”
She glanced at him surprised, then turned back to her phone. “No, of course not. Nothing like that. It’s Rei and Sawyer. If you go up there now, you’ll be interrupting round two.”
“Oh.” He paused. “Wait, how do you know that?”
Her grin turned cheeky, she started to saunter away from him.
“Wait, Andi! How did you know that!?”
She laughed, not stopping, and he shook his head in quiet horror. Then he shrugged and grinned and ran to catch up with her.
Crazy good.

An All-Access pass to Sex, Love, and Rock’N‘Roll. Because what happens on tour doesn’t always stay on tour…
From Australia to the world…
Chicago. The last stop of their wildly successful US tour sees Australia’s biggest rock band The Screaming Tuesdays in sultry, summertime Chicago to play two sold-out shows. But the stage is not where the action is, and no one knows what goes on behind the scenes…
Kelly knows what he wants. He’s known from the moment he first saw Jasper. But months have passed and he’s done absolutely nothing about it.

Secret Confessions: Sydney Housewives—Meagan
Shona Husk
From the hottest writers in Australia comes a scintillating new series. Enter the world of Sydney’s elite, and find out what goes on behind the doors of the most exclusive addresses in the country…
Meet the Housewives of Sydney. They are wealthy, elegant, poised, and constantly in the public eye. But what goes on behind closed doors, in the private homes and parties where the cameras and paparazzi aren’t welcome? Delve into the most personal details of their relationships, their friendships and their lives. The only question is: can you handle the heat?
Meagan knows food. In the kitchen, she’s confident, cool, and in charge. But when it comes to presenting next season’s dishes and delicacies to the owner of the exclusive restaurant where she is head chef, all of her insecurities boil to the surface.
She knows that she’s playing with fire with a special dessert that blows the restaurant’s budget, but maybe, with the help of some unorthodox persuasion techniques, she might just get what she wants – everything that she wants.
The Observations Of A Curious Governess
Viveka Portman
Viveka Portman’s latest instalment in the sexiest set of diaries you have ever read…
When Miss Martha Swan enters the fine home of Lord and Lady Stanton to become a governess, she is full of lofty ideals. Yet something is amiss in the hallowed halls of Stanton: whispers, laughter, and something darker and more wicked echoes from behind closed doors, and Martha is determined to find out what.
She soon discovers that all is not as it seems in this stately home. The lord and lady have secrets—lustful, carnal, shameful secrets that could spell ruination for all. Martha wants to be appalled, but she finds herself intrigued, and when her long-time friend Mr Jonathan Reeves comes to visit, Martha conceives a daring plan to assuage her curiosity.
Things are not so simple however, as neither Martha nor Jonathan have the money to marry. Nothing can come from this relationship—nothing but the experience of ecstasy. In such a situation, what is a curious governess to do?
Unrestrained
Rhyll Biest
A guarded recluse, some dirty pictures and a spark of curiosity that leads to a dangerous attraction.
When the reclusive Holly accidentally finds some very naughty photos, both the star—all inked muscle and attitude—and the way he’s tied his lady friend to his four-poster bed make her more than a little curious.
But to get to know the big, built stonemason better, she’ll have to overcome his vengeful ex and her own inhibitions—and pray that the walls she’s built around her guarded heart and dark secret remain safe from a man who has a way with stone.
