Cherish Hard
New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh kicks off her new Hard Play contemporary romance series with a sizzling story that’ll leave you smiling…
Sailor Bishop has only one goal for his future – to create a successful landscaping business. No distractions allowed. Then he comes face-to-face and lips-to-lips with a woman who blushes like an innocent… and kisses like pure sin.
Ísa Rain craves a man who will cherish her, aches to create a loving family of her own. Trading steamy kisses with a hot gardener in a parking lot? Not the way to true love. Then a deal with the devil (aka her CEO-mother) makes Ísa a corporate VP for the summer. Her main task? Working closely with a certain hot gardener.
And Sailor Bishop has wickedness on his mind.
As Ísa starts to fall for a man who makes her want to throttle and pounce on him at the same time, she knows she has to choose – play it safe and steady, or risk all her dreams and hope Sailor doesn’t destroy her heart.

Cherish Hard might be my new favorite Nalini Singh book. It had me smiling from start to finish! Even as serious as Ísa is, always focused on providing love and stability for her younger siblings, she can’t fight the pull of her more mischievous side (Devil Ísa). “No, Ísa,” she ordered herself. “No playing this game. He’s too young, and you have a plan.” To find a man who was ready to settle down and create the kind of family foundation she’d always lacked.” ... “She could almost taste it, she wanted that dream so much.” Sailor was drawn to Ísa when he first saw her years ago and he is determined not to allow her to again be the one that got away. Sailor’s efforts to charm and woo Ísa had me swooning all over the place!!! “Are you saying I set you up by taking off my shirt? That you were rendered helpless by my manly physique? If so…” A slow smile. “I’ll take it.” From the cute chapter titles to the adorably witty banter, I fell in love with this book and this couple. I read this book as slow as I possibly could, rereading passages and just enjoying every moment of this feel good and beautifully romantic story! While skinny-dipping—- “Something steely hot poked her stomach. “Is that your phone?” she asked, pressing closer instead of jerking away. “I hope it’s in a waterproof case.”
