When too much New Year\u2019s bubbly tumbles her into a sweet, shy coworker\u2019s bed, she craves more. But guys like Eddie never stick with girls like her.<\/p>\n<p>Strait-laced, soft-spoken, and skinny, barback Eddie has a huge crush on his curvy, tattooed coworker. Their New Year\u2019s surprise is a dream come true\u2014until his grandma walks in on them. Eddie begs Rosie to fake-date him to appease his old-fashioned family. He\u2019s already keeping secrets, so what\u2019s the harm in one more? But the longer he pretends with Rosie, the deeper he falls.<\/p>\n<p>Their boss lays down the law: No relationship drama at work, or you\u2019re fired. Rosie\u2019s everything Eddie ever wanted\u2014but to keep her, he\u2019ll have to drop a terrifying truth bomb on his loving but stifling family. And Rosie must trust her bruised heart with the guy who nearly crushed it.<\/p>\n<p>Come back to Bangers Tavern for a steamy, laugh-out-loud, opposites-attract romance that ignites in all the worst ways\u2014and the best!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He tugged her forward. TV sounds and laughter rang out from the next room. Stomach wobbling, she planted her feet. \u201cI don\u2019t know, Eddie. I feel bad lying to your family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grasping her hand in both of his, he whispered, \u201cI said we\u2019re work friends, and that\u2019s what we are.\u201d When she balked, he raised her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles. \u201cHalf an hour, tops. I promise. A few dumplings, a toast to the new year, and we\u2019re out of here.\u201d The soft brush of his lips did funny things to her core\u2014warm, tickly things. If she had the sense God gave mud, she\u2019d back out now. But Eddie\u2019s grandma already thought Rosie was his girlfriend. What could it hurt to play along for a few minutes more?<\/p>\n<p>She nodded, and Eddie broke into a sweet, crooked smile that made her feel even more guilty. Eddie wasn\u2019t the kind of guy who indulged in meaningless hookups. Should\u2019ve considered that before plastering herself to him on the dance floor last night.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Buy Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Amazon: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08WLKB3S8\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08WLKB3S8<\/a><br \/>\nBarnes &amp; Noble: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/opposites-ignite-sadira-stone\/1138878794?ean=2940162422211\">https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/opposites-ignite-sadira-stone\/1138878794?ean=2940162422211<\/a><br \/>\nApple Books: <a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/opposites-ignite\/id1554956375\">https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/opposites-ignite\/id1554956375<\/a><br \/>\nKobo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/opposites-ignite\">https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/opposites-ignite<\/a><br \/>\nGoogle Play Books: <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Sadira_Stone_Opposites_Ignite?id=88MfEAAAQBAJ\">https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Sadira_Stone_Opposites_Ignite?id=88MfEAAAQBAJ<\/a><br \/>\nUniversal book link: <a href=\"https:\/\/books2read.com\/u\/m0wjvPbit.ly\/OppositesIgnite\">https:\/\/books2read.com\/u\/m0wjvPbit.ly\/OppositesIgnite<\/a><\/p>\n<p>ARC link from Book Sirens: <a href=\"https:\/\/booksirens.com\/book\/VRFMWTH\/CHJRQ4D\">https:\/\/booksirens.com\/book\/VRFMWTH\/CHJRQ4D<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/ARCOppositesIgnite\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/ARCOppositesIgnite<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bookbub link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookbub.com\/books\/opposites-ignite-bangers-tavern-romance-2-by-sadira-stone\">https:\/\/www.bookbub.com\/books\/opposites-ignite-bangers-tavern-romance-2-by-sadira-stone<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Goodreads link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/57191079-opposites-ignite\">https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/57191079-opposites-ignite<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8485\" src=\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/sadirastoneAuthor-Photo-200-by-300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"221\" height=\"300\" \/>Author Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ever since her first kiss, Sadira\u2019s been spinning steamy tales in her head. After leaving her teaching career in Germany, she finally tried her hand at writing one. Now she\u2019s a happy citizen of Romancelandia, penning contemporary romance from her new home in Washington State, U.S.A. When not writing, which is seldom, she explores the Pacific Northwest with her charming husband, enjoys the local music scene, plays darts (pretty well), plays guitar (badly), and gobbles all the books.
