He\u2019s at least ten years older than me, emotionally unavailable, and highly disagreeable\u2014a walking red flag in a tailored suit. But do I listen to that? No. In fact, when his office plants start dying, I convince myself that I can ignore the pheromones and save the philodendron.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019m in his office every week, dodging sinful smirks and heated stares, reminding myself to reach for the watering can\u2014not him. But one late-night \u201civy incident\u201d changes everything. Suddenly, we\u2019re sneaking around, indulging in a steamy, forbidden fling that\u2019s supposed to be nothing more than (a lot of) fun.<\/p>\n<p>After all, he swears he\u2019ll never fall in love. I assure him that I only want one thing, and it\u2019s not his heart. But the closer we get, the more lines we blur, and the harder it becomes to keep our promises \u2026<\/p>\n<p>Especially when the secret I\u2019m keeping threatens to shatter

Bestselling author, Adriana Locke, writes contemporary romances about the two things she knows best\u2014big families and small towns. Her stories are about ordinary people finding extraordinary love with the perfect combination of heart, heat, and humor.<\/p>\n<p>She loves connecting with readers, fall weather, football, reading alpha heroes, everything pumpkin, and pretending to garden.<\/p>\n<p>Hailing from a tiny town in the Midwest, Adriana spends her free time with her high school sweetheart (who she married over twenty years ago) and their four sons (who truly are her best work). Her kitchen may be a perpetual disaster, and if all else fails, there is always pizza.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adrianalocke.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/GoodreadsAdriana\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Goodreads\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/AmazonAdriana\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/FacebookAddy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/BBAL\">Facebook Group<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/AddyIG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/TwitterAddy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@adrianalockewrites\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TikTok\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/BookbubAdriana\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bookbub<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/PinterestAddy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pinterest\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/adrianalocke\">Youtube\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ververomance.com\/app\/adrianalocke\">Verve<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Merger is the next interconnected standalone in the Brewer Family series, and is filled with heat and humor, spice&#8230; and secrets. &nbsp; The Merger (Brewer Family, #4) by Adriana Locke &nbsp; Releasing: February 10, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":77788,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","yasr_overall_rating":0,"yasr_post_is_review":"","yasr_auto_insert_disabled":"","yasr_review_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[290],"tags":[763,1520,300],"class_list":["post-77786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-book-news","tag-adriana-locke","tag-brewer-family","tag-cover-reveal"],"yasr_visitor_votes":{"stars_attributes":{"read_only":false,"span_bottom":false},"number_of_votes":0,"sum_votes":0},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Merger-ecover-copy-1.jpg?fit=200%2C300&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7gaNL-keC","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=77786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/77788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=77786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=77786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=77786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
