Cassie
Being the daughter of the Riverside monsters is a heavy cross to bear, one that twenty-one-year-old Cassie West can’t escape. But first she needs to get her ten-year-old brother out of social care.
Social pariahs can’t be choosy and she finds a job as a live-in housekeeper at Hartfield Manor—a cursed job that no one wants.
But as the days pass, she is intrigued and determined to figure out who is the man in the shadows. The mysterious owner of the manor whose obvious pain resonates with hers.
Luca
How the mighty have fallen.
Luca Montanari turned from an adulated powerful mafia underboss to a recluse, clinically alcoholic beast with a death wish in the blink of an eye.
All he wants is to be left alone, to soak in his pain and guilt—in his own version of purgatory—until Cassie West enters his life. She is everything he doesn't want and everything he needs. The fiery redhead starts to bring back to life parts of him he wanted dead. The closer she gets, the harder it is to remain the ghost he’d become.
Who better than the daughter of monsters to love a beast?

EXCERPT
I slid closer to him and removed my gardening gloves. I brought my hand up and brushed the soil from his bearded cheek.
He tensed as if he was made of stone under my touch.
I brought my other hand up and brushed my fingertips across his scarred cheek softly, barely a touch, and despite his frozen state, I saw his pupils dilate. He liked that I touched him.
His small reaction made me bolder somehow and I traced the scars with my forefinger. I traced the one going down in an almost straight line from the side to his forehead, down the corner of his eyes, the corner of his mouth to his chin. It tipped the corner of his mouth in a small pout.
“The scars are not ugly,” I whispered softly, worried that I’d break the spell and he would pull away—retreating in his shell of self-hatred. “You’re handsome. I like both sides of you.” I kept my eyes locked on his—showing him that my words were nothing but the truth. It was not pity talking; it was the attraction I felt for him despite knowing how wrong and hopeless it was to feel something for a man like him.
“You don’t have to say that,” he whispered but remained immobile, letting me trace all the scars.
“I know I don’t. But I mean it, every word. Please don’t hide your face from me.”
I didn’t realize he had moved until he gently brushed his fingers along the seam of my bottom lip. He had removed his gloves while I was engrossed with his face and he seemed as mesmerized as I was.

“Too early seen unknown, and known too late.” ~Juliet Capulet
Of all the women in the world, or at least in Bridgewater, why did I have to fall for this one?
When she walked into my brother’s wedding reception, I fell quick and hard. Until I learned her name.
Nope. No way. Not for me.
I have no intention of dating my biggest competitor. The new owner of Mama Leoni’s Restaurant is clearly off-limits. But when a local newspaper links us as a couple, my brother suggests we play it up for “good press.”
I agree.
For the sake of my new restaurant.
Not because the mere sight of Evie Fuller sets my blood on fire.
Turns out the only thing more complicated than a fake relationship with my biggest rival is a real one. This situation has gotten out of hand much too quickly.
Time to cool it down or risk getting burned.

If my time with Ryan Miller were a hit track on the radio, I imagine the lyrics would go something like this… “We’re so different, but they say opposites attract. Oops, I’ve fallen, and my heart doesn’t want to come back.” But, holy bingo night, is my attraction to the sexy, broody businessman so much more complicated than the chorus of a song. His dad lives right next to my mom, and after the two of them suffered an unexplained accident while taking down holiday decorations, both Ryan and I were forced to become the only thirtysomething residents of Sunny Creek Village Independent Senior Living Community. Temporarily moving in might seem like overkill for a fractured tailbone and a severely pulled groin muscle, but believe me, when your mom is as wild as mine and your dad is as cantankerous as Ryan’s, they need supervision to ensure they stick to doctor’s orders. Constantly thrown together by the antics of our crazy parents and the tough-as-nails community enforcer, Betty Matthews, Ryan and I formed an alliance for the sole purpose of survival. But I never expected to be so interested in finding out what he was hiding beneath his grumpy, serious demeanor. More than that, I never dreamed what I found would be the kind of man women sell their souls to the devil for. Unfortunately, our little one-hit wonder on the airwaves has more to say before it comes to an end. Although, finishing the outro to this song is a real doozy...

Add Oops, I’ve Fallen to Goodreads: https://bit.ly/30S3B9k 3.5 Heart Review by Ashley Max Monroe is back and more ridiculous than ever. Oops, I've Fallen was a laugh a page. The antics, and not even from the main characters, had me in stitches. I truly want Stella's TikTok to be a real thing. The first time Carly and Ryan met, she left a less than stellar impression. To be fair, she was worried and in a hurry to get to her mom. Their second run in became the start of something neither of them expected. And that doesn't even include the drama with Betty Matthews. These two couldn't be more different if they tried. But there was something about those differences that brought out this side of them that had been dormant for too long. The side that felt and dreamed of a future. And when their parents sprung their happy news, everything changed. There was so much working against them but the one thing that kept coming staring them in the face was that they wanted to be together. Carly and Ryan's opposites attract romance kept me laughing and guessing from the start. While I would've liked a little more time with them being serious and sweet, I'm not too torn up about it. And that ending was just the right amount of over the top to suit them.
Excerpt RYAN Incoming Call Dad.I’m tempted not to answer—very tempted, actually—but I do anyway. There’s a chance he needs me, given the circumstances of my visit in the first place, and I don’t want to leave him hanging. “Hey, Dad.” “Where are you?” “Baggage claim.” “Baggage claim where?” “Tampa.” “What the hell, Ryan?” he bellows, making me close my eyes against the speech I know is coming. “I told you I’m good. You didn’t need to come here.” “Yeah, well, your nurse said otherwise.” “My nurse?” he questions. “Who? That old woman Jessica?” “Old woman?” I retort on a laugh. “She was younger than you, Dad. By about twenty years.” I had the pleasure of speaking to my dad’s nurse Jessica on FaceTime last night when I got a call that he had taken some sort of strange fall and had been escorted to the hospital in an ambulance. “Whatever. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.” “Actually, she does,” I correct. “And so does your doctor, who also recommended that I come down and help you out while you’re recovering.” “Recovering.” He scoffs. “You’d think I had a heart attack or some shit. I pulled a muscle in my damn balls.” I shut my eyes briefly. “Groin muscle, Dad. You pulled your groin muscle.” “Same difference.” I want to explain to him there’s a big difference, but in the name of not driving myself insane—or drawing the attention of everyone around me—I bite my tongue. “Go home.” “Too late for that. I’m already here,” I answer on a chuckle and step up to the carousel to snag my black duffel from it. He groans. “You’re my least favorite kid sometimes.” I shake my head. “I’m your only kid, Dad.” “Yeah, and I like you the least right now.” I snort. Sal Miller is a seriously complex mix of blunt honesty, overwhelming affection, and way too much testosterone for a seventy-five-year-old man. The good news is that when he sounds like he’s being an asshole, I still know that behind all the flashy insults, he loves me. “Hey, Dad?” “What?” “I’ll see you soon,” I say and hang up the phone before he can respond. I scrub a hand down my face and take a deep breath. It’s moments like this that make me realize how much shit my mom had to put up with when she was still alive. Mom, seriously, you were a saint. With my duffel over my shoulder and my small carry-on rolling behind me, I walk out of the baggage claim area and toward the taxi line. Normally, I’d rent a car, but since I had to book this flight so last minute and there’s apparently some kind of end-of-summer festival going on in downtown Tampa, there were no rentals available. Hopefully, though, I’ll be able to arrange something tomorrow. Or else, I’ll have to cruise around in my dad’s Porsche while I’m here. Not such a terrible fate for me, personally, but as far as taking him places with an injury to his damn groin muscle, I’m thinking his late-life-crisis Porsche won’t be ideal. Once I make my way through the automatic doors, I spot the taxi line and count only three people in front of me. Not too bad. While I stand in line, I pull my phone back out of my pocket and start scrolling through work emails. In just the short flight from New York to Tampa—two and a half hours, tops—my inbox has managed to accumulate over forty emails. Since the small regional plane didn’t offer Wi-Fi, I had to settle for working on my end-of-quarter reports. On a sigh, I run my hand through my dark-brown hair and begin the task of sifting through what’s priority and what’s not. Five emails done and the taxi line gets smaller by one person. Another ten emails and the line gets shorter again. By the time I reach the front, I slide my phone into my pocket and wait patiently as I spot a black taxi heading my way. The driver pulls the cab to a stop right in front of me, but just as I lift my duffel up and over my shoulder to carry it to the trunk, a rush of bright red careens past me. “Oh, thank you so much!” a female voice calls toward the male driver who has just gotten out of the driver’s side to assist with bags. But he shouldn’t be helping with her bags. He should be helping with my bags. What the fuck? “Uh, excuse me?” I question loud enough to catch her attention. She looks up from her spot at the trunk. Her long, wavy red hair fans down her shoulders, and a few rogue curls hang over her face. Bright-blue eyes meet mine, and I can’t stop my brain from thinking, Well, goddamn. Smooth skin, striking features, and a few freckles dotting her nose, she’s…stunning. The kind of woman that urges a double and triple take. Between her gorgeous face and the way her long legs look beneath her cutoff jean shorts, this woman is like the girl next door, but with secrets. Dirty fucking secrets. “Were you talking to me?” she questions, tilting her head to the side when I don’t answer right away. Shit. Get it together. Those blue eyes of hers are still locked with mine, searching them in confusion. “Uh…yeah…actually,” I say, clearing my throat. I glance between the taxi and the taxi line. “You’re kind of stealing my taxi.” “I am?” I smirk. “Yeah.” “Did you call him yourself?” My head jerks back in surprise. “Well, no, but—” “So, you don’t know this driver?” she questions, looking between the driver and me. “Do you know him—” she pauses briefly, then asks “—what’s your name, sir?” “Bob.” She smiles at him. “Bob, do you know this man?” “No.” The driver shakes his head. “I didn’t call him,” I explain on a sigh. “But I followed the rules and waited in this taxi line like everyone else.” “You follow the rules a lot?” she asks, and I don’t know what to make of her question. It sounds dirty and sexy yet sarcastic and accusatory at the same time. “Don’t most people?” “I don’t.” She winks. “But you keep doing you, Barney Fife. The town of Mayberry needs you.” Okay, she definitely just passive-aggressively called me a square. “So, you’re just going to steal my taxi, then?” I question and glance over my shoulder to note the other people waiting in line like myself, but I quickly realize I’m the only one standing here. It doesn’t matter, though. My point is still valid. Well, I guess that depends.” “On what?” “Are you going to fight me for it?” Excuse me? “Am I going to fight you for the taxi?” She nods. “Um, no,” I answer on a laugh. What a weird fucking question. “I don’t make a huge habit of fighting women.” “Okay then, I guess the answer to your question is yes, then.” She nods. Winks. Taps her hand on the top of the taxi. “Let’s hit it, Bob.” Bob looks between me and the redhead, who is now getting into of the back seat of his taxi. But eventually, he just shrugs and hops back into the driver’s seat. Then they’re off. Just like that. And I don’t miss the way the mysterious, taxi-stealing redhead turns around in her seat to wave to me as they go or the fact that I’m feeling a lot less attuned to how pretty she is. Her manners are apparently very, very ugly. What in the hell just happened?
