She thinks happily ever after only happens in romance novels.
He can’t wait to prove her wrong…

Remington Sterling has had his eye on the smart and sexy Raven since she started waitressing at his bar. He knows she’s gun-shy where relationships are concerned. But he’s ready to do whatever it takes to convince her he’s worth the risk…
When Raven’s secrets catch up to her in a big way, she must decide if the potential cost of trusting Remy is more than she’s willing to pay—and Remy will need to figure out how far he’s willing to go for love…
Just One More Moment, book 1 in the Sterling Family series (all can be read as standalones), is a spicy contemporary romance featuring a ready-to-run heroine and the possessive, protective alpha hero who is more than ready to catch her.

My Review:
For Raven Walsh, attending the glamorous wedding of her boss/friend Zach Dare, reminds her of the life she used to have. A life she’s been trying so desperately to get away from for a while. Though she doesn’t miss the luxury of her upbringing, it has lead her to live a normal and modest life. As Raven takes on more responsibility as the manager of The Back Door bar, she has immediate access to her boss/co-owner of the bar, Remy Sterling. Even though they are friends, Remy enjoys flirting with her, leaving Raven to wonder if they could ever have something else. But there is the fear of what could happen if those around her get hurt because of her past. Leaving Raven to build walls around her in order to protect her heart. It’s until said past comes back to haunt her that she will have to rely on Remy more than ever.
As a former detective and current private investigator, Remington “Remy” Sterling has helped uncovered many cases throughout his career. But Raven Walsh has proven to be a mystery he can’t seem to solve. Being co-owner of The Back Door bar, Remy spends a lot of time running the business alongside his manager, Raven. Their instant connection is magnetic and it is easy to be around her. Yet, it’s his attraction towards her that has made it difficult to get Raven out of his head. He knows that she isn’t ready for more than she can give him, so when the lines are crossed, a mutual friends-with-benefits arrangement is in place. Until her past comes knocking, putting Raven in danger that Remy vows to keep her safe no matter what, including her heart.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Just One More Moment, this steamy and suspenseful romance will keep you at the edge of your seat. Remy is ready to use what he’s experienced in his career in order to protect the woman he is falling in love with. After all, going through a similar loss himself has made him even more protective of her. Raven is not about to let her past hurt her loved ones, even if it means sacrificing her growing feelings for Remy. In the end, they both will have to rely on each other if they want to have a chance at a real relationship. Told in dual POV, expect the unexpected and an ending worth for their story. I would highly recommend it and I cannot wait to read the next books in the series! :)
