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.

Waking up with a strange man standing over me should be terrifying, but I’m not scared until he threatens to call the police. I’m at my limit. I have no money, no car, no place to live. But it’s all worth it to get away from my ex. A chill runs through me when I imagine what he would do if he caught me now. Then I meet Sean. When he says I can stay with him with no strings attached, I believe him. When he tells me he can keep me safe, I trust him. But I have a secret. Something I had to bury so deep that only a few people know it. Sean makes me so comfortable, I want to show him. I ...

Parker knew her life would change when she came out as a trans woman. But she never expected to be forced into an arranged marriage. Years ago, her parents made a deal with a crime family — the hand of their first-born daughter for the money to expand their business. They were a young couple. Already with one child, and a daughter on the way. But when that pregnancy ended in miscarriage — when they could never conceive again — it seemed they would never fulfill their end of the bargain. That changed when Parker told them her secret. Now, Parker is being forced to go on a date with a ...

"Trust me, you'll love this," she says. My heart races when she hands me a pair of black stockings. I stare at her, but she just nods. I sit and slowly pull them up my legs. I’ve never felt anything like this before. Never imagined anything could feel this good. But I stop. I shouldn’t do this. I shouldn’t like this. I’m a man. Then her hands find mine — she kisses me — and I forget all my doubts. My fears are gone. “That’s my girl,” she says. No one has ever called me that, but I nod my head. I am her girl.

I need a part-time job. Quick. When I see the ad for a historical re-enactor, I know it’s perfect. I don’t know it will transform my life. During the interview, the head of the group warns me this is more than I expect. It’s different from the theater productions I’m used to. But I promise to commit to the role — to fully immerse myself in the character. I don’t realize this means I’ll wind up in petticoats and dresses. And then there’s him. The instant we meet, I become stuck. Stuck in that spot and stuck to him. I’m wearing a dress. I should be embarrassed. The heat ...

“Is this your makeup in the bathroom?” My heart stops. I deny it. But she knows it’s mine. I've asked her out so many times, but each time she's told me no. Until now. After our dinner, I press my luck. Maybe just one drink back at my apartment? It's my only shot. And now it’s over because I didn’t hide my makeup. She’s going to storm out, and I’ll never see her again. But she doesn’t leave. She goes to my bedroom. When she comes out, she’s holding a dress. My dress. “I want you to wear this for me.” My mouth is dry, and my whole body is trembling. I can’t do this. I...

I only had to wear a dress for one night. Just long enough to fool my boyfriend’s parents. I didn’t know it would change my whole life. My boyfriend hates his family. His spiteful sister and his very anti-gay mom and dad. But they’re also very rich. And if he wants his inheritance, we have to pretend to be a straight couple. That means I need wear a dress and makeup. But only one time. Just for dinner. So why do I buy more women’s clothes every time I watch one of these silly videos that comes to my inbox? And why am I flying to a clinic that promises to help me become who I’m ...

All my life, I’ve been forced to be the obedient son. The boy who will grow to be just like his father. But now, I’m an adult, and it’s time to show the world who I truly am. My father has always tried to make a man of me. He’s taught me to hide my authentic self from the world. I’ve heard the taunts and insults so often, I start to believe them. Until I meet Jerome… My stomach quivers when he walks into the meeting room, and I can’t stop staring at him. As we spend time together, I discover that he sees me — the real me. And instead of being embarrassed, he pushes me to ...

Dani thought she could trust him. She thought their love could survive anything. Then she told him her secret, and it blew everything apart. 15 months later, she’s finally put herself back together. She's living the life she was meant to have. And Jeremy is nothing more than a painful lesson. Just life’s way of teaching her she can never trust anyone, no matter how much her heart insists. But why does one touch from his hand make a thousand stars explode inside her? Why does all her careful control crumble the instant she needs it most? For 15 months, Jeremy has lived with the ...

"If there's one thing I believe, it's that wishes never come true. The only scary thing is letting yourself believe they might." As a child, I dreamed of being a witch—just like all the women in my family. Every year for Halloween, I dressed up as one. When I closed my eyes at night, I prayed to become one. But there was always one little problem. I was a boy, and boys couldn't grow up to become witches. When I finally realized this, my life lost its color. I lost the will to do anything except just get through. I buried myself as far from the world as I could. But just after my thirty-...

Being forced into witness protection could be Henry's chance at a new life—a life as Jessica. But that's only if the mafia doesn't find him. Henry was all alone on the street. Until the terrified man ran around the corner. Until the SUV roared up and opened fire. Now he's the only witness to a murder, and the city's two most powerful crime organizations are desperate to get to him before he can testify. The police immediately place him in their witness protection program. Whisking him away to a new city where no one will find him. Where no one knows him. A place where he can be himself, ...

He’s a star football player, and I’m nobody. There’s no way it could ever work. So why does it feel like he completes me? I’ve never believed in love, but when my eyes catch his, my heart races. His breathy whisper kicks off feelings I’ve never known before. And I may be falling for him despite myself. He insists we keep our relationship a secret, though. Afraid it might interfere with his career if word gets out. But what if there’s a solution? A way we can be wide open to all the world? Should we go for it? Are we willing to give the whole nine yards to hold on to each other ...

I never imagined one ride would transform my life. After struggling for years, I finally have one shot. One chance to prove myself. But when my car sputters and dies 2000 miles from where I need to be, my dream might as well be dead too. I walk inside the lonely bar, hoping to find a mechanic. Instead I find him. The man behind the bar who makes my breath stop every time I look at him. The man who sees the real me. The man who will take me places I only fantasized about. When he offers to drive me across the country, I should know there's a catch. When he hands me that little pink bag, I ...

He's my best friend. We love each other. How hard can it be to convince mom and dad that we're actually in love… And that he's a girl. "I've already found the right girl." As soon as the words slip away from me, I know what a terrible mistake I've made. But I'm so sick of all these blind dates that mom and dad keep setting up for me. All because they want me to find a girl and finally move out. I rack my brain to think of some way out of the mess I created, and that's when I think of Sai. He's my best friend. He'll do anything for me. And he looks so much like a woman that no one would ...

My wife wants a daughter. But we’ve tried everything. There’s just no way… I knew touring the new high school would be hard on her. Now we’re in the cafeteria, and she’s in tears. She wishes she had a daughter who could go to school here, and I wish I could give her that. But wishes don’t come true, do they? I laugh when I open the mail a week later. A letter confirming my registration? As a high school sophomore? Whatever. I’m 33 and long past graduation, so I toss it aside. But maybe I shouldn’t ignore it. Maybe I should go to the office and clear this up. Maybe I should ...

"You're mine, girl. And I'll do whatever I want with you. Do you understand?" I’ve loved him since I first saw him, but I thought he could never love someone like me. That all changed when he invited me to the club, and I saw the kind of girl he’s attracted to. Now I’m sitting in my car wearing a dress and makeup. My entire body shakes as he comes closer. And when he sees me, we both freeze. We’re each about to experience a side of the other that we’ve never seen. Years of friendship haven’t prepared us for this. Is either of us ready for what comes next?
