About the book

It was only supposed to be a hot, anonymous hookup.

I wanted one night after years in a dry spell to let loose and do something reckless. 

But the hot guy from the bar who unlocked kinks I never in a million years would’ve thought I’d like, let alone love, turns out to be not so anonymous. Nope. He’s my new step-brother. 

What’s worse is now he’s everywhere. Coming home from a coffee run? He’s there. Fun, afternoon barbeque my uncle holds for his family and coworkers? He’s there. Because of course the infuriatingly attractive jerk would get a job with my uncle’s company.

Oh yeah, and we also can’t seem to stop hooking up. 

We keep saying it’s just for tonight, but I’m starting to worry one more night will never be enough. 

Just for Tonight is a steamy forbidden, stepbrother romance. If you don't like a dirty talking hero who pushes his woman's boundaries, then you absolutely should NOT read this book.

Content advisory: Combat trauma, flashbacks, and survivor guilt; detailed recollections of military deaths and severe injury; emotionally neglectful and belittling family relationships.

Connor Jackson + Jenna Jones

Set in Los Angeles

A contemporary romance novella about veterinary student Jenna Jones and former Army Ranger Connor Jackson. They hook up as adult strangers before discovering that their parents' recent marriage makes them stepsiblings. Family gatherings and reception planning keep them close.

Choose Just for Tonight for a one-night stand that refuses to stay in the past, a dirty-talking former Army Ranger, and the new-stepsibling reveal. Family obligations keep Jenna and Connor crossing paths, but lasting love will require more openness than their physical connection alone can offer.

Each novella follows a different couple to a happily ever after. Read Only a Kiss, Just for Tonight, then About Last Night to follow the connected family and friendships; later books reveal developments in earlier couples' lives. About Last Night can be read as a standalone.
