HUNKY HEARTBREAKER
By Kendall Ryan
Release Day – November 27, 2018
STANDALONE
From New York Times and USA
Today bestselling author Kendall Ryan comes a new story in her Whiskey Kisses
series…
Everything’s bigger in Texas.
And that includes Duke Wilder’s sexual appetite.
Together with his twin brother, he runs a whiskey distillery, and when their business takes off—suddenly he’s got it all. Success. Money. Family. But he doesn’t have a woman to share it with.
When Valentina storms into his life, her presence is only supposed to be temporary. She’s a feisty attorney hired to help clean up his company’s recent legal mess. He never counted on her being the one to turn his whole world upside down.
After spending most of his life living in the shadow of his brother, Duke has something to prove, and he’s not about to let this distraction get in the way of his plans, no matter how hot things get.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

EXCERPT
“Good morning, darlin’. Could I
interest you in some breakfast sausage?”
The woman turned, her long, dark
curls swinging around her shoulders. A look of disgust quickly washed over her
face as her eyes locked on my bulge.
“Ay dios mio, you’ve got to be f#cking kidding me,” she muttered,
immediately taking her briefcase from the counter and marching to the front
door, her red-bottomed heels clacking loudly on the hardwood.
“What’s the matter?” I asked,
stumbling after her.
“Last time I do a favor for a
friend,” she said under her breath, slamming the front door shut behind her.
Favor. Friend. Beautiful woman in a
pencil skirt. Charlotte’s hotshot lawyer friend from Los Angeles.
Oh
f#ck.
“Hey, uh, Valencia, wait up!”
I burst through the door to find
her paused on the top step of the porch. She turned sharply to look me dead on,
the fire in her eyes enough to burn me straight through.
“It’s Valentina,” she spat,
crossing her arms and cocking her hip to the side.
“Valentina, right. My mistake.
Listen, I’m really sorry about all this. We were out late last night for—”
“For the opening, I know. I was
supposed to be there, but something came up at work. So instead, I got my ass
onto a last-minute redeye to make it in time for our meeting this morning, but
clearly you had other things in mind,” she said, her eyes flitting to my
quickly-softening cock before turning again to leave.
“No, please, don’t go. This is
completely unprofessional, I know—”
“That’s the understatement of the
century.”
“But I promise, if you give me a chance,
we can turn this meeting around.”
“Is it still a meeting when one
person shows up with his dick out?”
“Oh, trust me, sweetheart, if my
dick was out, you’d know it.”
“Sure, as long as I brought a
magnifying glass with me.”
I paused, standing up a little
straighter. She squared her shoulders, and our eyes locked, the tension between
us thick enough to cut with a knife.
If we were going to make this work,
I knew I had to be the one to budge. But dammit if this woman didn’t make me
want to blow my lid.
“Look, I’m sorry. Please stay. If
not for me, then for Luke and Charlotte.”
Valentina sighed and put a hand on
her hip.
“Fine. Put some goddamn pants on
first, and then we’ll talk.”
