Do That To Me:

Nate

No one escapes their reputation in a small town, and I'm the poster child for that. Five years ago, I earned the title of Darling Creek's spoiled brat. I've changed my ways, and now I'm ready to settle down with the one unattainable woman who has eluded me until now. It's time to shoot my shot. When I learn what her ex did to her, I'm more than happy to pick up the pieces. However, Meredith's needs run counter to my instinct to be gentle with her. But now that I finally have her, how can I be anything but sweet?



Meredith

As a reporter in a small town, my job is my whole world - until one day my life is turned upside down. Unexpectedly, the man who makes me coffee suddenly becomes my support system, my partner, and my passionate protector. We have two problems now. One: he's too careful. He swears he's never leaving my side, but what he doesn't understand is I need him to do things to me ... a certain way. Two: does he understand what it means to take on a girlfriend whose baby isn't his? What will people say?



Say That To Me:



J.T.

Whenever that pushy crime reporter comes around, I can't think straight. Franny's good at her job, but man, she makes it difficult for me to do mine. To make matters worse, she needs my help. There are so many things I can't say to her, but "no" is not one of them.

Franny

All J.T. ever does is glare at me, and occasionally grunt one-word answers to my questions. That's fine. I'm used to people not liking me; it's the nature of this job. Now, however, I have a unique problem with my story, and J.T. is the only person who can help. He may not say much, but his actions speak volumes.



Love That For Me



Alex

No reporter has ever busted my balls quite like Jessica at the Darling Creek Daily News. As a tech billionaire who takes calls from CNN regularly, that's saying something. She makes me sweat. I can't stop thinking about her, and I don't know how to walk the fine line between professional and personal. so I'm just going to go all in and be clear about what I want. All my money and success mean nothing to me if I can't share it with her.



Jessica

A tech titan is taking over my town, and I don't like it. Perfect angle for a news story, right? There's just one problem. Despite relishing the idea of holding a powerful man's feet to the fire, I find myself drawn to by his smile, dreamy eyes and overwhelming presence. I know better than to cross that line. Besides, the entire town is watching every move he makes. If I step over that line, it could be the end of my career. His sneaky generosity is testing my resolve, however. I might just have to kiss the bejeezus out of him, and let people say what they will about me.
