I put the high in high roller...

My old college crush Taryn makes my blood boil and surge straight south. No one is going to touch her lush body unless that person is me. I have to save her, take care of her. Protect her. Since I've wanted her for years, I tell everyone she's my girlfriend and claim what's mine. It feels good. Right.

Only one thing tugs at my heart and mind. She doesn't even recognize me when she damn well should. I've been called a player. Then again, maybe that's what she needs - a man whose taste will linger on her lips for months.

But when I go to an important business meeting to discuss bringing down my archenemy, I'm floored. She's already there, baiting me. Teasing me. Denying me what I've craved since college.

A vicious criminal hell-bent on revenge and secrets from her past throw up roadblocks at every turn. I've got a life in NYC, and her life is here in Vegas. It can't work. It won't. But that doesn't stop me from claiming her as mine.

Tightwad is a full-length steamy romance novel from USA Today best-selling author Colleen Charles about second chances with the hot-as-hell Reagan Caldwell who is swoonworthy. It's the second book in the spellbinding The Caldwell Brothers series, but can be listened to as a stand-alone.
