Jonas: Five years ago, after I lost my husband, I barricaded my heart, not strong enough to let another person get close to it. When our sweet but clumsy bartender, Preston, needs somewhere to stay, I offer him my spare bedroom. We're friends, nothing more. Now, though, the more time I spend with my new roommate, the more he tears down the walls I've built. He's bubbly and sassy, drawing me in from the first broken glass.

I want to let him in, but I can't . . . Right?

Preston: My friends tried to warn me my ex was bad news, but it's not until I catch him with our next-door neighbor that I truly see it for myself. Being cheated on sucks, sure, but being cheated on and realizing you have nowhere to live is even worse. Luckily, Peaches' head of security, Jonas, has a place for me. With him. Sure, it starts off innocently enough, but one night, some green lace and a pole change everything.

It's just a bit of fun. I won't fall for my roommate . . . Will I?

Seductive Nights is the second book in the Peaches series about a group of friends who work at a strip club. You can expect a protective, but emotionally closed-off widower, a lace-loving bartender with nowhere else to go, and all the found-family vibes of book one.

Contains mature themes.
