From award-winning author K.L. Clare comes a sexy,
new standalone Cocky Bastard crossover novel.
As one of the most sought-after realtors in Hermosa Beach, I knew the market better than anyone. When a potential clientâs car was struck on his way to California, I volunteered to go get him, as I would do for any other client.
But this time, I knew it was different as soon as he stepped out of the repair garage.
I was captivated by the strength in his eyes. By the confidence in his walk. The sensual curve of his mouth.
Falling for that cocky cop was never part of the plan. Still, as our road trip detoured through the San Bernardino Mountains, his brazen charm wore down my defenses and shattered my one vowâno cops.
I didnât want to become like my mother. She would forever be the police chiefâs wife who had cut and run.
I loathed Josh Mendes because I wanted him. His arrogance infuriated me. His unexpected soft touch and his sweet pillow talk soothed me. I resisted him until I couldnât.
Then, he threw me into a cold jail cell.
All good things must come to an end, right? Except our ending was one that I hadnât seen coming.

Darcy and Eli: Desire (Book 2)
He chuckled and perched himself on the side of the bed. âOne of these days, Miss Darcy . . .â
âOne of these days what?â âOne of these days I might be able to unlock the vault to all your secrets.â âMy vault has a complicated combination. I donât think anyone really wants to dive in there. Itâs kind of dark.â He gazed into my eyes. âIâm not afraid of the dark.â His intense stare burned through me like a lit match to tissue paper. My skin pebbled in goosebumps as I exhaled. âWhy . . . why, do you always look at me like that?â Eliâs hand caressed my cheek. âBecause, when I look into your eyes I feel like I can almost see your story. And I want to read every word.â

Excerpt
Josie couldnât stop her response. His words had unlocked something deep within her. She couldnât remember a time when she could literally lean into someone, and she reveled in it. Her arms lifted to encompass his broad shoulders. God, he felt so hard, so good and strong. Trying to get even closer, she lifted on her toes, and gasped in pain.
He must have felt it in their kiss, and correctly interpreted it. Sam broke away and looked down at her. In one quick moment, he lifted her in his arms and then she found herself settled in his lap on her sofa.
She looked up at him in wonder. âYouâll hurt yourself doing that,â she admonished.
âBaby, youâre just a little thing,â Sam said.
Josie snorted in disbelief.
âOkay, youâre lush and curvy, just the way I love a woman. I canât stand women who are going to blow away at the first strong wind.â
She snorted. He was so full of it.
âIâm serious. Compared to me you are a little thing and youâre the perfect size, with the absolute perfect body. Do you understand me?â
It was difficult not to buy into what he was saying when the evidence of his arousal pressed against her butt. She made a tiny move against him and he groaned.
âYouâre so hot and sexy, and youâre going to end up killing me.â His hands brushed up the sides of her arms, her neck, then ended up cupping her flushed cheeks. âAre you finally hearing me?â He gave her a wicked smile. âAre you at least feeling me?â
She laughed.
âExactly,â he groaned. âYour body turns me on, baby.â
Josie looked up at him and saw the absolute truth on his face. She turned away and nuzzled his neck, not wanting him to see the sheen of tears in her eyes. This man who made her blood sizzle was turning her self-image upside down. A huge weight lifted from her heart. He held her for long moments, then finally started to whisper.
âI know weâre going to talk about our injuries, but can you please tell me how such a beautiful woman could think she needed to hide in clothes four times her size? How she could think that she wouldnât have men falling at her feet?â Josie couldnât help giggling at the outrageous statement.
âIâm serious, baby. At least a quarter of your male customers are coming into Sweet Dreams Desserts not just for the pastries but to see the sights.â
Oh Lord, I could fall in love with this man.
Sam tilted her head so she was forced to look at him. âLet me guess, it was some guy who convinced you that you, you were less than perfect.â
She shook her head, then hid her face in his neck. âNot just a guy.â
âLook at me, honey. Tell me,â he urged.
She looked up. âActually, it started way earlier than that. My mom was one of those women who would blow away in the wind, and she was constantly harping on my weight. So, itâs pretty much ingrained that Iâm fat.â
âIt sounds like she had some issues.â
Josieâs laugh sounded sad even to her ears. âIssues. Yeah. You could call them that.â
âAnd the guy?â Sam prompted.
âIt was a few years ago. He seemed okay. I thought he liked me. I really did, Sam.â Josie struggled to keep her voice steady. âAnyway, when we finally got ready to sleep together, I guess you could say he wasnât all that impressed with my body.â
She stopped talking. Sam stroked his hand down her back. She was acutely aware that he could feel the outline of her corset. Therein laid the problem. âRussell insisted the lights be turned off.â Josie stared at a point over Samâs shoulder so she didnât have to see pity in his eyes.
âThat guy is an idiot. Youâre gorgeous.â
âYou donât know,â she protested.
âYou forget, Iâve seen you. And I liked everything I saw.â
Once again, he turned her face, and she ended up looking up at him, and what she saw was anger.
For just an instant, she was scared, and he must have seen it.
âNo, Josie, Iâm not angry at you. Iâm angry at your mother, and that asshole. Trust me when I say that I completely understand a parent belittling you, boy do I get that, but what I canât wrap my head around is understanding the assholeâs issues. If I was lucky enough to get a chance to make love to you, I would want all the lights on. I wouldnât want to miss a thing.â
A full body shudder ripped through her body.
