title: As Fate Would Have It
author: Meadows, Cheyenne
description: Brie welcomes her badly needed vacation, but one phone call tosses those plans out the window. Bad plumbing leaves Rye, a family friend, homeless. He moves in with Brie temporarily, turning her contented life upside down--challenging her into buying sexy lingerie, watching porn, and delving into his police investigations. The flare of excitement, not to mention the instant attraction between the two, turns into something more complicated. The old ladies gossip group target Rye, a neighborhood couple isn't what they appear, and his repressed roommate watches porn and dyes his underwear pink. What's a man to do but solve the case, catch the bad guys, and get his woman? What's a woman to do but show him how it's done?
