Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Five Years Earlier: Henry Dunne knows three things: that agreeing to host this raucous house party was a terrible idea, that he absolutely cannot show up to his nursing shift tomorrow with a hangover, and that the beautiful redhead in the corner will be sleeping in his bed tonight.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Hockey coach Ashley Jaswal doesn't take nonsense from anyone … except her overbearing and superstitious family. They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.

What’s worse than planning your wedding? Glad you asked. Planning your parent’s wedding. Cue eye roll. The icing on the cake, no pun intended, is who I have to plan the wedding with. My soon-to-be stepmother’s daughter. Shoot me. She thinks I’m a piece of work? The girl needs to look in a mirror. Even if her reflection is spectacular. And sexy. And none of my business to admire. I couldn’t care less about seating charts, center pieces, or floral arrangements. I hate myself for knowing what half these things are. But this girl? She’s making the work tolerable. Okay. Fine. Maybe ...

Taking over the family business is my destiny. I just never expected to have to do it in a small town surrounded by nobodies. I’m a big fish in a small pond in New York. This town? I might as well be in purgatory. There’s one silver lining. My assistant. She’s curvy, too sweet for her own good, and easy to push around. Until she isn’t. She’s fire one minute and ice the next. I can’t get enough. I can’t focus, either. Everywhere I turn, she’s there. I suppose that’s the whole point of her job. But soon I want more than her help in the office planning Valentine’s events. I...

Romance is a waste of time and energy. I’m not going deep with anyone. Let’s keep things on the shallow end of the pool. Where it’s easy to get out when I’m ready. Besides, my focus is on bigger things. Things that actually matter. Like changing the world. Until I need a sexy fake date to round out my image. Ridiculous as it is, it’s my only option. Something about me being aloof and arrogant. What? Me? No… But my date is more than a role to fill. She’s everything I’ve avoided in life so I don’t settle down. And she’s trouble. She’s keeping a secret from me that could ...

I left my high school boyfriend without a word, but I had a secret. My parents forced me to leave town when they found out I was pregnant. He still haunts my dreams all these years later. His dark hair and forest green eyes have my heart racing. I can’t imagine how hot he is now. They say you never forget your first love, and they’re right. But that’s the past. And I should leave it there. Thankfully I’m too busy to think about him or much of anything else. As a talent agent for the biggest firms in New York, my life as a small-town girl from Texas is in the rearview mirror. Then ...

The ugly duckling from high school is all grown up, and she’s fiery hot now. She’s also the CEO of the company I’m trying to work for, and the only thing that stands between me and the next level of my career. Fortunately for me, most women fall at my feet. But this ice-hearted beauty from my past? She has me working my ass off to prove that I’m the right model for the GQ cover. You’ve got to be kidding me. This bone structure doesn’t get told no. Not in the boardroom and certainly not in the bedroom. She can play hard to get all she wants. She’s just delaying the inevitable. ...
