Title: More Than Love
Series: After I Do #20
Author: Ja’nese Dixon
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Burn or Sign.
Love, at first sight, is how I describe the second I met my wife. It sounds cliche. It sounds romantic. But I knew Meghan would be my wife from the moment she blew off my request for a date.
Then the quest to make her mine became an obsession. I didn’t need years to know. All I needed was a single word: Yes.
We met. We married. It’s been good. Or, so I thought.
And now her gold band rests on top of a divorce decree and my wife, the woman I love, won’t look me in the eyes.
I’m a closer. I assess the risk, opportunity, and sweeten the offering enough to make my opponent think he’s bested me. I close billion-dollar deals because I know every weakness, every secret, every opportunity. But I didn’t see this coming.
The ultimatum of thirty days to repair the marriage I didn’t know was broken. To burn the decree or sign it, as if our forever is optional.
I swallow around the unexpected rage solidifying in my throat and I prepare to close the most significant deal of my life. And the prize isn’t financial, the prize is my wife’s heart.
I declare my victory with a master plan in mind until I realize I’ve grossly underestimated my opponent.

Twenty-eight of your favorite short steamy romance authors have teamed up to bring you stories that will make you swoon, laugh and set your e-readers on fire!

Dad Bods made a big impression in 2021 – and they’re not going anywhere! This January, some of your favorite contemporary romance authors are bringing you a sexy selection of brawny, hot Dad Bods and the women who love their men with a little something extra to hold on to.

The mission is simple: keep the Senator’s daughter safe until the election’s over.
This should be a piece of cake.
As the owner of a top level protection agency, there is no one more qualified than me to play bodyguard to beautiful, bubbly Lyn Houston. In fact, guarding her body is a privilege because her curves are what dreams are made of. Soft and sweet, with extra cushion for the pushin’–
Ahem. I’m a professional.
I’m strong. Smart. Capable. But I should’ve known things wouldn’t be easy.
Plush little damsels in distress are my kryptonite.
I’m a little thick around the middle myself, but it’s never stopped me from getting what I want. Except this time, what I want is for this stubborn woman to stop making my job so difficult.
She could start by taking the threat seriously instead of running out into traffic to save kittens. She could do as she’s told, and actually lock her windows at night. Or hey, she could stop baking so many delicious cupcakes and learn some self-defense moves.
My nerves– and waistline– would thank her.
Instead, she drives me crazy with her sassy mouth and ability to always see the bright side of things.
If we make it to election day, it will be a miracle.
If I make it there without kissing her silly, it will be a damn sin.

First Kiss:
Uh-oh. While Hillary appreciated the woman so willingly sharing this information, she needed to get Marco out of this office, pronto. His fury was like a living, breathing thing, and she could practically picture him as a dragon, shooting flames out of his mouth and burning this whole place to the ground.
Stepping more firmly in front of him, she said, “It was so nice to meet you, Mrs. Morgan. We so appreciate you and the rest of the faculty and staff here taking Julia under your wings. Here”—she grabbed a scrap piece of paper from the counter and wrote down her name and cell number—“Give me a call or text if you feel Julia needs something or if Patricia or any other family member happens to stop by. We just want to make sure we are aware of her entire environment. You understand, of course.”
Mrs. Morgan accepted the paper while Hillary steadily moved backward, forcing Marco to go with her.
“Absolutely,” Mrs. Morgan said, pressing the note to her chest. “Thank you for entrusting her to us.”
Hillary waved and then turned around and pushed Marco out the door. “Go, go, go,” she said when he didn’t move fast enough.
They practically speed walked to his truck. He stepped up to the passenger side door, but then he clutched the keys in his hand and swore viciously before whirling around to face Hillary.
“She came here to Julia’s school.”
Seemingly benign words, but Hillary understood. “I know.”
He began pacing the length of the truck, clearly trying to burn off his fury. “Actually told them she was going to take custody.”
“Well, to be fair, Mrs. Morgan said ‘if’ she takes custody.”
He continued pacing, clenching and unclenching his fists. The anger radiating off him was not diffusing. They needed to get out of this parking lot before someone noticed him, yet Hillary wasn’t sure she trusted him to drive at the moment.
“Do you want me to—?”
He stopped in front of her. “Yes.” And then he cupped her cheeks and without warning, pressed his lips to hers. He dove his hands into her hair, tangling his fingers, tugging on the strands while canting her head before his tongue brushed against her lips. She gasped, and he thrust his tongue into her mouth.
She wrapped her arms around his back and clutched at his T-shirt as if her legs might collapse if she let go. Which, frankly, was entirely possible.
She’d never been kissed like this before. It was aggressive, feral, no holds barred…and so damn hot, she was half afraid she was going to burst into flames.
She didn’t stop it, didn’t try to pull away. She pressed against him, taking it all in, reveling in every stroke of his tongue, every tingle between her legs, the hardness she could feel brushing against her belly.
Gradually, the kiss shifted from hard and fast to slow and easy. He nibbled at her bottom lip and then trailed kisses along her cheek to her ear. “Thank you,” he whispered, his breath fluttering her hair. “I think I’m okay now.”
He pulled away, and without looking her in the eye, opened the door and motioned for her to climb into the truck. He still didn’t look at her when he slid in next to her and cranked the engine. The atmosphere no longer vibrated with fury.
“Did you just kiss me to alleviate your frustrations with this situation?” she blurted.
He kept his gaze straight ahead, although she saw the slight lift of his lips. “I kissed you to diffuse the anger so I wouldn’t do something stupid. So now, instead of angry, I’m just frustrated.”
“I understand.”
“No, I don’t think you do. I’m not frustrated over the situation with Julia. I’m frustrated because I want a hell of a lot more than just a kiss from you.”
