Milwaukee Men at Work

When it comes to guys, I don't do repeats. I'm too messed up to do more than a one-night stand. Until Josh. He got a second chance on a technicality. He's got more tattoos than I do, and I want to lick every one of them. Suddenly he's there to help me pick up the pieces after I call the cops on my dad. He rescues me from myself on Halloween. And always with that lazy smile and bone-melting kisses.

After my mom died, I knew I was at serious risk of a blue Christmas. The only upside to being called home from my wanderlust lifestyle is the chance to see Brady again. But will nice-list Brady be willing to get a little naughty if he thinks I'll be running off to another globetrotting adventure after eight wild nights? And can I pack away my feelings like holiday decorations after I've unwrapped the gift of being with Brady?

Everyone knows the first rule of friends-with-benefits is you don't fall for your friend. There are a million reasons I shouldn't be messing around with Claudia: we're best friends, we work together, her dad is my boss, and I'm moving out of state in a few weeks. But none of that seems to matter when we hook up at my sister's wedding. It's the best I've ever had. I'd have to be crazy not to keep it going. We've both got too much on our plates to commit to anything more than a friends-with-benefits arrangement. And believe me, those benefits are way too good to resist.
