Innocent Next Door

Life in a small town is comfortable, but living with her loving and overprotective family means it lacks adventure. And forget romance with two interfering army brothers around. It's time to leave the cozy nest. Her grandiose plans come to a grinding halt when she becomes innocently involved with a crime boss, then she bumps heads and lips with her uncle's sexy but very bossy neighbor. Special Air Services soldier Nikolai Tarei owes his neighbor a favor, but looking out for his twenty-two-year-old niece is stretching friendship too far. She's a virgin and her sex appeal, sassiness and brazen disregard for safety have Nikolai scrambling to protect both her and his battered heart. Summer is a librarian who's a whiz at research. Now she's ready to try out the sex toys and sexual positions she's researched. The woman is tying Nikolai in sensual knots and driving him crazy—in and out of bed. But he's enjoying the journey, and suddenly he's thinking about making his Summer babysitting assignment a full-time commitment—if only he can persuade her to see things his way.
