Must she choose between love and money? Or can Rook get both? ROOK I get it. Stripping naked and letting your boyfriend's best friend paint your body in order to sell custom motorcycles isn't the ideal way to start a brand-new relationship. Add in a TV reality show, another best friend who seems determined to make me notice him, and the little fact that in order to get paid I will have to strut my stuff in public wearing nothing but body paint. Yeah. There's not a chance in hell that Ronin is going to be OK with all this. RONIN It feels like everyone is trying to break us apart. Spencer with his stupid body painting contract. Ford with his stupid TV show contract. My sister and her boyfriend's niece constantly calling me for help. Even Rook seems determined to stop our love before it starts with all the bad decisions she's making. But I'm not the kind of man who walks away. I'm actually the kind of man who sticks around. I don't care how against-the-odds we are-I'll fight for us. Even if she won't. Manic is book two in the Rook & Ronin series and features Rook getting naked in front of tons of hot men, body paint being applied to the most inappropriate places, and a whole gang of people ready to let go of the past and look towards the future. It's a story about love, and second chances. About friends who become family. And most of all, learning to live with who you are.
