Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Clark Griswold was onto something...at least with his annual holiday meltdown. And since the last three weeks of my life have been riddled with humbug—another breakup, a broken toe, an office promotion I deserved and didn’t get—I’m not at all in the mood to celebrate nor have the happ, happ, happiest Christmas EVER.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

But now that he’s in the thick of it, trying to get through combat training harder than anything he could have imagined, he knows everyone in his unit is one bad move away from buying the farm in the interstellar war the Terran Federation is waging against the Arachnids. Because everyone in the Mobile Infantry fights. And if the training doesn’t kill you, the Bugs are more than ready to finish the job.

This silver fox is so off-limits, he practically has “do not touch” tattooed across his forehead. But with my eyes closed in his dark bedroom, I can’t see it anyway. Oh well! My life is in shambles, and I desperately need a job. My stepmom suggests I take a nanny position for her cousin—who I’ve been at odds with since the day we met. Connor is almost twice my age and the biggest jerk ever. But his body is brutally hot. Ugh. What a waste. Unfortunately for me, I adore his son and I have no other job prospects. I hated him with passion, but hate quickly turns to infatuation. Now we...

I never expected a one-night stand with a stranger to nearly get me killed. I discovered my boyfriend was unfaithful so naturally I went out with my best friend to dance the blues away. Cue the sexy guy watching me intently from across the room. An unexpected night of passion left me feeling confused and vulnerable. Thinking perhaps I had been too impulsive, I tossed the piece of paper containing his phone number in the trash.

It was supposed to be just one fun, fiery night with a stranger—the bad boy next door. Little did I know he was a business professor at the university… and my new boss. Liam Harrington is everything you'd imagine in a hot professor: tall, dark, mature, refined, with a hint of ruggedness. Not to mention, he’s an heir to his family’s wine vineyard. No wonder his students keep begging for "personal tutoring” even after he denies it. But to me, he’s my untamed temporary neighbor who’s house-sitting for his friend. As I settle into my new house, I melt when I see his chiseled body ...

A Barclay parting from a single cent more than necessary when he divorces that unwanted wife someday? Preposterous. I’m a starving artist who’s always looking for the bright side.
