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.

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.
