Victor Her Ruthless Crush

Victor. No last name. Totally mysterious. He doesn't talk. He's insanely hot. And now...I'm supposed to be spending every Thursday with him??? When my dad asked me to tutor the son of an important business associate, I thought I was agreeing to teach a little kid. Victor's definitely not a kid. In fact, it's hard to believe we're even the same age. He's way more powerful than any boy I've ever met. Also, way more intense. He stares at me in this weird way. It almost feels like obsession. But there's no way he could be attracted to me like I'm attracted to him. I'm just an overweight nerd with secret dreams I've never dared to tell anyone. Until him. I tell him all of my secrets. But will I be able to handle it when I find out all of his?

Would one night be enough? Alana Thorton had watched her new neighbor move in across the hall. Women came and went. Each one who left his apartment had a satisfied smile on her lips. London Keith was a player—bad news. Spying on him became her favorite pastime. It earned him a nickname...Mr. Hotness. Alana swore she'd never give in to a guy like him. He would do nothing but break her heart. But curiosity got the best of her. What was so alluring about London? Then she saw him with his shirt off. Heard his sexy accent, and she completely forgot she'd vowed to steer clear. Alana had been celibate too long, but London could fix her problem. She might as well let him try. It would only be one night. It was quite obvious the man had skills. Still, she didn't expect her neighbor to be quite so...addicting. Please note: Mr. Hotness was previously featured in the Tangled Sheets anthology. This is the extended version of the story. It is a steamy BWWM romance as only Peyton Banks can write.

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A novel that follows a middle-aged man as he contends with a past he never much thought about—until his closest childhood friends return with a vengeance: one of them from the grave, another maddeningly present. A novel so compelling that it begs to be read in a single setting, The Sense of an Ending has the psychological and emotional depth and sophistication of Henry James at his best, and is a stunning achievement in Julian Barnes's oeuvre. Tony Webster thought he left his past behind as he built a life for himself, and his career has provided him with a secure retirement and an amicable relationship with his ex-wife and daughter, who now has a family of her own. But when he is presented with a mysterious legacy, he is forced to revise his estimation of his own nature and place in the world.
