BOOK SUMMARY:
Perfect
for readers of Susan Mallery and Rachel Gibson, Between the Sheets is Molly
O’Keefe’s final book in the Boys of Bishop trilogy, featuring a sizzling
romance between a sexy motorcycle bad boy and the girl next door who can’t
resist him.
After years of running, Wyatt Svenson has now parked himself in Bishop,
Arkansas, trying to do the right thing and parent a son he didn’t even know he
had until recently. Over six feet tall and packed with muscles and power, Ty
likes to get his hands dirty, fixing his motorcycle at night and keeping his
mind away from the mistakes he’s made. Then his pretty neighbor shows up on his
driveway, doesn’t bother to introduce herself, and complains about the noise.
First impression? She should loosen up. Funny that she turns out to be his
son’s elementary school art teacher—and the only one willing to help his
troubled boy. Ty needs her. In more ways than one.
Though Shelby Monroe is safe in her structured life, she is drawn to
Ty’s bad-boy edge and rugged sexuality. What if she just lets it all go: her
worries about her mother, her fear of heartbreak, and her tight self control?
What if she grabs Ty and takes a ride on the wild side? “What if” becomes
reality—intense, exhilarating . . . and addictive. But Ty wants more than a
secret affair. He wants it all with Shelby. But will she take a chance and open
her heart? Ty is determined to convince Shelby to take the biggest risk of her
life: on him.

Shelby Monroe was not having a very good morning.
Last night, her new neighbor—a
motorcycle enthusiast apparently with insomnia and a hearing problem—didn’t
stop revving his engine until nearly dawn. Then Mom put the coffeepot on the
stove thinking it was the kettle and it shattered when it got too hot.
So here she was for her first day of
classes after the Christmas break at Bishop Elementary, frazzled and without
coffee.
Which was no way to deal with Colleen.
“Welcome back!”
Colleen, the school secretary, stood up from behind her desk and for a moment
seemed as if, in the three-week break, she’d forgotten that Shelby wasn’t a
hugger.
Thank God it came back to her at the
last moment and instead of throwing her arms around Shelby like they were old
friends, she turned to the bottom drawer of her filing cabinet and yanked it
open. Shelby dropped her phone and purse in it. There was no office for the
part-time staff, so she made do with Colleen’s bottom drawer. She shrugged out
of her winter jacket and hung it on the coat hook with her scarf, then tucked
her gloves in her coat sleeves.
“How are you doing?” Colleen asked. “First day back.
It’s always a good day.”
“You must be the only teacher in the
world who thinks that.”
Shelby laughed. That was probably true.
Her first days back in the school after winter break were her fa- vorite of the
whole year. All the hard work of getting to know the kids, understanding them,
and getting their attention and respect was done. And now they were re-
charged. The next two months would undoubtedly be her most productive with the
kids, before spring fever hit.
She just needed to shake off this bad
morning she’d had.
“Coffee’s fresh.”
“You’re a saint.” She grabbed a mug from
the cup- board above the coffee area and waited for the machine to belch and
steam before she poured herself a cup. Col- to leen went nuts if you robbed the
pot, and no one wanted get on Colleen’s bad side.
In her years as a part-time employee for
the school district, Shelby had come to know one thing for certain: principals
did not run schools; the secretaries did. And Colleen’s desk was like the
bridge of a giant space- ship. A phone system with a gazillion lights and
buttons. Color-coded Post-its. The sign-in book, which she guarded like the
Holy Grail. The first-aid kit, the small fridge with ice packs. Printer,
computer, jars with pens. One drawer had hard candy, the other a box of
Triscuits. There was a heat lamp at her feet. A fan at her back. Two different
sweaters over her chair and a small hot plate for her coffee cup.
Colleen could survive the zombie
apocalypse at her desk.
