Girls' Night Out (Visits to Petal) Read online

  Things are going as planned until his best friend’s little sister comes barreling into his life. Funny, quick talking, smart, beautiful, she’s a temptation he tries—and fails—to resist.

  When Beth Murphy hears Joe is back in town, she makes sure she’s the first on his welcoming committee. Though he tries to pretend he’s gruff and unworthy of her, she sees the man who spoils his dog, who touches her like she’s precious. Cherished. But there’s one wall she can’t break down—the truth about what’s happening at home.

  On the night the nature of his father’s illness becomes painfully, publicly apparent, Joe does the right thing—push Beth as far away as possible. But if he thought she’d go away quietly, he’s about to learn she’s made of sterner stuff.

  Warning: Slow-talking, sexy mechanic with a drawl, looking to get a Murphy right out of her underpants. Quick-talking woman who knows what she wants and has a weak spot for the aforementioned slow-talking mechanic and his dancing dog. Bad words. Polly Chase behind the wheel again.

  Girls’ Night Out

  Lauren Dane

  Party time? Nobody does it better than the Murphys and the Chases.

  Visits to Petal, Book 2

  Lily and Nathan’s wedding is just a few short weeks away, and the Murphys and Chases are doing their parties up right!

  It’s Friday, and the women head to the Pumphouse to celebrate with cocktails, cake, and laughter. The men? They’re at the Tonk for beers, wings, and trash talk.

  Throw in party games, penis hats, and crazy-eyed ex-fiancées, and it’s bound to be a night they’ll be talking about for a long, long time.

  Warning: Fast-talking southern women cracking wise, and the men who love them.
