He kept his salacious secret for years. But soon, everyone is going to be reading about it in their morning paper…

THE VARLET (and the VOYEUR)

William Moore is a long way from home. A farm boy from Oklahoma, he’s now the most well-respected member of the Irish rugby team. But appearances are often deceptive, and Will isn’t the clean-cut, all-American good-guy everyone imagines him to be. He’s got a secret, one that will tarnish his reputation forever.

THE VOYEUR (and the VARLET)

Josey Kavanagh is a self-proclaimed mess, but she’s finally get her shi…uh, act together. She’s set her sights on becoming a veterinarian, but there’s one teeny tiny road bump. Her living arrangements are coming to an abrupt end, leaving Josey homeless and in need of a job to pay her way through college.

THE PLAN

What he needs is a companion to keep him on the right path.

What she needs is an apartment with free rent.

Will is convinced Josey will make the perfect companion, since she’s brutally honest and basically ‘just one of the guys.’ Josey is convinced she can ensure Will doesn’t succumb to his voyeuristic proclivities by keeping a scrupulous eye on him.

Except, what happens when the varlet is tempted by the voyeur, and vice-versa?!

Perchance something very, very volatile. And vexing.

The Varlet and the Voyeur is a full-length romantic comedy novel, can be read as a standalone, and is the 4th(and last) book in the USA TODAY bestselling Rugby Series.

Excerpt:

*Will*

When I saw how spotless the shared living space was, I allowed my curiosity to get the better of me and peeked my head into her bathroom, Rocky dancing around my feet as I entered the space. The counters were covered in woman-products, but the marble surface and sink were free of water spots, and the glass of the shower had been wiped clean. I glanced at Rocky. He glanced at me. Bemused, I chuckled to myself, about to turn back to the door, and that’s when I spotted it. A dildo. A big, Pyrex dildo. With ridges. In the shower. I froze, blinked, and I stared at it, my brain sluggish. Oddly, I had to remind myself to breathe. Likely because I was . . . I was— I was shocked. I shook myself, tearing my eyes from it and rubbing my chest where an odd kind of pang was spreading mild warmth up my neck. But why was I shocked? Why should I be surprised? Despite my never seeing her that way, Josey was a woman and women have needs. Don’t they? I hadn’t grown up around women—any women. My mother died when she had my youngest brother. My grandmother died before I was born. I had no sisters. We lived on a farm, way out in BFN Oklahoma. Girls—women—and their bodies were sacred lands of the unknown to us Moore boys. Unbidden—completely unbidden—an image of Josey flashed through my mind’s eye. Her full lips parted, her big eyes closed, causing her thick black lashes to catch droplets of water before they dripped over her sharp cheekbones. Her head would be lolled back as shower spray melted bubbles of slippery soap, sliding down her bare skin as they dissolved. Her legs would be parted, and maybe one hand would be braced against the wall of the shower while the other moved in a steady rhythm. Holding that huge, glass dildo. I swallowed a sudden rush of salvia and, unable to help myself, I leaned closer to the sex toy, examining it and comparing its size against my own. I was bigger. But not by much. And for some reason, this realization made me instantly hard. Crap. Of course I knew Josey was a woman, but until this moment, I’d never really thought of her that way. Not even the tampon-mountain drove the point home. Up until this point, she was someone I liked as a person, someone who made me laugh, who was smart and compassionate, someone around whom I felt completely comfortable. A good—no, a great companion. She was still all of those things, except— Except now I’ve pictured her naked.

Claire's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Not sure quite how to put my review into words to convey how much I actually loved this book!

This is the story of Will and Josey. Josey finds herself homeless and jobless and trying to hold down her dream of becoming a vet. Will is a well-known rugby player with a heap of secrets that are about to come out and tarnish his career. Will needs someone to move in with him to keep him on the straight and narrow except things didn't quite go the way they had both planned.

I loved Will and Josey so much! Josey was such a cute and fun character with so many layers to her personality, and the type of girl you would love to have as a friend. Will is such a great guy who just needs to learn to trust again.

This book completely sucked me in from the very first page and I loved the characters so much, especially Josey, who was just so much fun! I cannot recommend this book enough, it had a great mix of quirky, funny moments, romance and more!

Caroline's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Adored! Adored! Adored! Loved Will and Josey - two quirky, earnest and genuine characters!

"Will was a stranger. A handsome stranger...Plus, a gentleman. Plus, a talented and dedicated professional athlete. Plus, from what everyone said, just a super nice guy. Plus, he's kinky."

Will is the antithesis of his rugby teammates. He is a clean-living rule-follower who lives a quiet life, never really says much, and a real gentleman. However, he has a certain proclivity. One that is brutally exposed to the public eye and has his friends rallying around him, trying to help him clean up his sleazy image. He is stoic and refuses to pander to the media, although he is open to having a 'babysitter' to help curb his singular impulses.

"She was charming, disarming, distracting. I had no doubt she would be honest and direct, but it wouldn't be brutal."

Josey is, for want of a better word, quirky. She suffers with chronic verbal diarrhea and seems to have no filter. She's never unkind...just somewhat gauche and often has moments of serious foot-in-mouth-itis! She's also in need of a place to live and a paying job.

"She filled my apartment with her own brand of sunshine. I liked watching her."

I was hooked on this book right from the beginning. Josey is such a fantastic character. She's funny, cheerful, awkward, kindhearted and idiosyncratic. She's thoughtful, so non-judgemental, and accepting of people. If I ever met her in real life, I'd absolutely want her to be my friend.

"I considered rules - in all matters - to be the solid foundation upon which my existence had been built. Respect and rules."

Will is such a stoic and intense character. He's almost crippled by the rules and boundaries that he lives by - giving himself very little room for manoeuvre, especially in his love life. He's strong in the face of scandal and I admired his tenacity in ignoring the media circus but, at the same time, it was almost like he was burying his head in the sand. I loved how much Josey enchanted him and the fact that he saw beneath her awkwardness to her true beauty.

"I had no thought of rules or boundaries, just of Josey. Rightness, bone-deep satisfaction as I lay on her, our bodies still joined."

These two were a major, sexy slow burn. Gah! They burnt bright and hot together, with such a stunning connection and rightness as a couple. I ADORED them!

This was such a fun, amusing, heartwarming read. Thoroughly recommend!
