*~*Love Notes: Austin to Jalynn – Austin by Jeannine Colette & Lauren Runow*~*
“Tell me a secret.”
“I’m falling for you.”Austin Sexton is the man I’ve always tried to stay away from. He’s arrogant, entitled and a total ass. That’s why I didn’t bother giving him my name last night. We’ll never see each other again.
Or so I thought.
Imagine my surprise when I start my new job only to come face-to-face with the blue eyes I just declared all wrong for me. No, he’s not my boss, but being my boss’ brother seems almost worse.
No matter how hard I try to push him away, his secrets draw me in. When it comes to a Sexton that could be lethal…for my heart.
I have his secrets and I won’t tell a soul. Now I just have to not fall for him completely.
Check out the other books in the Sexton Brothers Series…
“Truth or dare?”
“I’ll take your dare.”
“Kiss me.”I don’t believe in Prince Charming, but when I met a handsome stranger on a rooftop his words intrigued me and his dares left nothing but temptation.
Then I learned the truth.
His name is Bryce Sexton. Media mogul, workaholic and a heart of stone. He’s broody AF and yet every woman in San Francisco wants him.
So why won’t he leave me alone?
Wherever I go, he’s there, trying to force his way into my world. What he doesn’t know is I already have a man in my life. A tiny redhead who loves Legos and Superheroes.
With every push, Bryce pulls me in further. Our pasts are laced with betrayal. Our futures are unpredictable. Our chemistry is explosive.
With each dare I uncover a truth, but he’s exactly what I don’t need right now.
So why did I have to go and kiss him?
*The Sexton Brothers novels are stand-alone books that can be read in any order.
“A kiss was all I needed.”
“Looks like you got what you wished for.”
“Yes. About that…”I was supposed to find a finely dressed businessman, have a one-night stand and forget about my failed relationship. Instead, I meet Tanner Sexton—a gorgeous man in street clothes, messy hair and the sexiest smile I’ve ever seen.
When my ex shows up at the bar, Tanner notices my panic and kisses me just so the prick can see. Then he takes off, leaving me breathless.
So, I do what any rational person would. I chase after him onto the subway, and embark on a wild night in New York City with a complete stranger.
No matter how much I fight it, this mysterious artist painted his soul onto my skin, and I haven’t been able to forget him. Our romance is one for the ages, but age isn’t the only thing standing in our way.
Get ready because all three of the Sexton Brothers are writing Love Notes!
Awww….Austin 🙂

Jalynn,
I was walking down to a meeting when I noticed you standing by the copier. It must not be working because you’re bent over it, trying to fix something. A chivalrous man would have stopped and helped. Instead, I stood and watched. Watched as you silently cursed the machine with that Cupid’s bow mouth and scowl with your hazel eyes. You give me that look a lot when you’re mad.
I watched as you kicked the copier and then scrunched your nose. It was the cutest fucking thing I’ve ever seen. I was about to walk over to you but Bryce pulled me into the meeting which he deemed as important. Aren’t they all? That’s why instead of walking into the copy room and devouring that perfect little mouth the same way I did the first time I kissed you, I’m sitting here in the board room. I’m listening as my brother drawls on and drawing hearts and writing sweet things to you on a note pad. You’re the biggest pain in the ass I ever met yet I love you more than anything. What have you done to me?
Everything. You’ve done everything to me. It wasn’t too long ago, the thought of loving someone this way scared me to death. The thought of losing you would be too much. Here’s the honest truth. Whether it’s a day, a year, a lifetime..I’m your man—forever. I’ll never run. I’m yours.
Happy Valentines Day,
Austin
