He’s not supposed to be here. I’m not supposed to see him naked. I’m not supposed to stand here, mouth wide open, staring, admiring. He’s my best friend’s dad. When Kayla asks me to come for a getaway at her dad’s place outside the city, I figure, why not? We’re supposed to have the place to ourselves. Then I see him, Lukas. All of him!

I soon wonder if he has the hots for me, which ...

With my aunt's medical bills piling up, I can't afford to say no to this payday: pretend to be a mob prince's fiancée, plan a fake wedding, and keep my emotions out of it. Simple, right?

I never imagined I'd start caring about him, but the more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember that this is all just a job. Dario’s gaze lingers a little too long.

After breaking up with the world’s biggest jerk, I’m reluctant to get back into the dating scene. So my best friend, Paula, and I make a deal. “If it’s ever going bad, shoot me a text, and I’ll come rescue you.” The only problem? I send the text to the wrong P – P for Professor Alexander.

I'll be the first to admit that I live at extremes. After going 10 years locked in what felt like a dysfunctional marriage, I'm now decidedly boy-free. In nearly three years I've had no boyfriends, no flings, no dates, and no sex. For the sake of my dream career, the sacrifice has been easy. At least it was. Until he came along. Lukas Hendricks. He's rude, gorgeous, arrogant - a stone-carved wall of muscle and distraction. He's everything I know to avoid but there's no avoiding your next-door neighbor.

I’m not a playboy. I’ve got a dark past and have had some terrible experiences. I ...

Dear Santa, I've been naughty with the doctor next door. Did I mention he's my bestie's dad? My Christmas list was simple this year—make money dog-sitting and save up for my surfing school. Then my bestie suggested asking her filthy rich dad for a loan. (Note to Santa: Bad life choices ahead.) Dr. Ethan Taylor opened his door looking like sin in a suit: all commanding presence and silver fox swagger. He mistakes me for an escort he ordered. After that humiliating encounter, I should've been good and stayed away. But my dogs kept finding their way to his place. And it turns out this bad ...

This is my dream job—and I can’t afford to risk it. But when the single dad kisses me, resisting him becomes impossible… Gray Aldridge is everything I shouldn’t want: tall, handsome, and impossibly confident. With silver streaks in his hair and a smirk that could undo me, he’s the very definition of off-limits. But when he hires me as his live-in nanny, our connection becomes impossible to ignore. His daughter, Emery, is the sweetest little girl I’ve ever met, and I love making memories with her. Falling for her father? That’s a recipe for heartbreak—for all of us. Yet the ...
