Only You, an all-new sexy and emotional standalone from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow is LIVE!
Nate Pearson is ridiculously handsome and wears the hell out of a suit and tie, but I've seen the parade of beautiful women leaving his apartment across the hall-a different one every time-and I want no part of it. When it comes to romance, I'm looking for something real, something that will last: the happily ever after.
As a divorce attorney, he loves to tell me there's no such thing.
As a wedding planner, I choose to disagree.
We disagree on almost everything, in fact. Everything except James Bond. The only time we really get along is when we're watching 007 flicks together, and I'll admit-he has rescued me from a disaster or five. So when one of the baton twirlers from his parade leaves a baby girl at his door with a note that says "I'll come back for her" and he begs me for help, I can't turn him down.
But it's a mistake.
Because watching him with his daughter, I start to see another side of Nate, a side that has my breath coming faster, my body craving his, my heart longing for him to change his mind about love and tell me there's a chance for us.
I don't want to be just another girl leaving his apartment in the morning.
I want to be the one he asks to stay.
REVIEW
Really liked it!
Emme and Nate have been friends and neighbors for 3 years. They have great chemistry and you could tell there was some attraction between them, but they’ve never acted upon it. That is until one night that changed their lives for ever.
This book was great! Emme and Nate are perfect for each other. At first Nate was pretty selfish and vain but he soon became the man he was always meant to be. Seeing him with his baby daughter melted my heart!
Emme is a romantic at heart and that has caused her grieve in the past, since she always falls in love with the wrong guy. She’s patient and understanding with Nate. She’s there for him and gives him the confidence he needs during a particularly difficult moment in his life. I just loved them together!
If you are looking for a sweet, sexy, friends-to-lovers story, then this book is for you!

Excerpt
“So did you mean what
you said last night? About me?”
He grimaced, his eyes
closing briefly. “I’m sorry about that. I shouldn’t have said it.”
“But you think it,
right? That I’m a little girl living in a fantasy world?”
“No.” He put a hand on
my shoulder. “I think you’re an optimist. I think you see good in people they
don’t even see themselves. You build people up—especially me.”
“You?” I laughed a
little. “You don’t need me to build you up.”
“Hell yes, I do. You
think I’d have been able to handle this whole fatherhood bombshell if you
hadn’t been here? If you’d said, ‘That’s
what you get for fucking around, asshole. Good luck.’”
I shook my head, a
strand of hair coming loose from my bun. “I’d never have done that.”
“I know.” He tucked the
strand behind my ear and moved his hand to the back of my neck. His eyes
dropped to my lips. “But I would have deserved it.”
I held my breath. Things
seemed to be happening in slow motion. His forehead came to rest on mine. And
then our noses touched. Our eyes closed. An eternity passed, his lips a whisper
from mine. Either one of us could have initiated a kiss. A slight lift of my
chin. A little drop of his head. The question—will we or won’t we?—hung there
between us, even as his closed lips brushed mine, eyelash soft.
I wanted nothing more
than to wrap my arms around his neck and fit my body flush against his, but my
wrists lay inert on the edge of the sink. Suddenly he spoke, his breath warm
against my mouth.
“You know that dream you
have, the one where you really want to do something, you’re desperate to do
something, but you’re paralyzed?”
“Yes,” I whispered.
“I think I’m having that
dream right now.”
“Me too.” And then I
felt it, the gentle pressure at the back of my neck, pulling my head toward
him.
It was all I needed. Our
mouths came together firmly this time, our lips opening, and I angled my body
toward his, throwing my arms around his neck. His hands explored my back while
his tongue explored my mouth, and he backed me into the corner, his hips pinning
mine against the hard stone counter. He kissed with a fervor and intensity that
surprised me, his mouth traveling down my neck, his fingers threading through
my hair, pulling the pins loose, his body giving off heat that mine hungrily
absorbed. I wanted to get closer to him, wished I could feel his skin against
mine. I rose up on tiptoe to press against him, my back arching to fit the
question mark curve of his body.
He felt big and strong
and reassuring, exactly how I wanted him to feel. I wasn’t even sure what it
was I wanted reassurance about… My desirability? Our chemistry? Something new
and different happening between us? He swept his lips to the other side of my
throat, a necklace of soft, insistent kisses that warmed my blood. When his
mouth returned to mine, the kiss grew hot and frantic. He reached down and
hiked the hem of my skirt to my waist, and I immediately jumped up, wrapping my
legs around him. His hands moved under my ass and he carried me like that into
the living room, never lifting his mouth off mine. When he reached the couch,
he knelt on it and tipped me backward, stripping off his shirt and stretching
out above me.
My hands moved lightning
fast over hot skin, solid muscle. Chest and arms and back—I couldn’t get
enough. His hand stole beneath the T-shirt I wore and I arched my back so he
could reach underneath me and unclasp my bra, then moaned softly at the feel of
his palm over my breasts. Moving down, he shoved the shirt and bra up to my
neck and put his mouth on me, his lips, his tongue, his teeth, my nipples
hardening into tight little peaks that begged to be licked, sucked, teased,
tortured.
What are we doing? What are we doing? What are we doing? screamed a voice in my head.
I ignored it, hooking my
arms beneath his and pulling him up so I could kiss him again. I didn’t care what we were doing.
It felt way too good to
stop.
