Ruffles & Beaus Carina Adams

I never expected to fall in love. I certainly never planned to fall for both of them. From best selling author Carina Adams comes a love-triangle... with a twist. I wasn't damaged. Or looking for a sugar daddy. Or even rebelling against my family. I simply needed the money. Broke college kid was a common label. Struggling as you worked your way through school was a rite of passage for independent students like me. There was a mountain of difference between broke and destitute, however. When my boss embezzled millions, everyone in our department had been fired. With a year left of college, a ruined internship, and student loans that wouldn't cover it all, I was hindering on the edge of destitute. I didn't' know anything about burlesque. I never thought I'd take my clothes off for money. Yet, when the opportunity to dance for Soiree fell into my lap, I clung to it. Roman was a bossy, arrogant, miserable ass. He might have taken a chance and hired me, but every single thing about him infuriated me. Irritating him quickly became my favorite hobby. Reid was nothing like his best friend. Confident, mysterious and kind, he never hid the fact that he wanted me in his bed. Most of the time I struggled to remember why giving in would be a bad idea. I had a concrete plan. Perform for a few months, get my degree, and move to the city. Then I'd put my alter-ego behind me and forget it all. Even the best laid plans can be destined to fall apart.
