He’s moody, stubborn, and quite possibly the hottest guy I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen quite a few, but this one...I’ve been watching him since freshman year of college. Word on the street is that he thinks women are too needy, too catty, and overall pains in the butt. He’s about to meet his match.

The last time I saw my new colleague, she was on top of me. Literally. She’s my best friend’s sister. It might have been a hot onetime fling at his wedding. Maybe....

She’s completely off limits, or so I’m told. My best friend’s little sister. Hot, curvy, and soon to be mine. And to say the least, she’s fiery mad. Her brother is willing to sell out their family business to me, and he’s right for doing it. I’m a billionaire. Hello. Little did I know that this beautiful vixen is about to jack my world up. There’s one trinket I want most in the world for my collection, and guess who just bought it? Right. Her.

A major cosmetics company is looking for America’s next sweetheart to be their perfume cover girl, and honey, that just ain’t me. Or I didn’t think it was. My brother offered me a chunk of change to behave in our family-owned restaurant for one day, and that’s the day handsome walked back into my life. My brother’s best friend from school. But he’s a big shot now, working for the billionaire owner of this company that’s offering me a shot. And the old man doesn’t have an heir, so my handsome first love is in line for the jackpot.

I invest in businesses, not women. My silver tongue gets me what I want, and my last name seals the deal. My current fixation? A ski lodge on the brink. It’s a big undertaking, but I’m up for the challenge. And the reward. The curvy young owner has me questioning my own commitment. Is she worth giving it all up? Or is she just a distraction on the path to more millions? Either way, she’s making me sweat despite the Christmas chill. I’m ready to burn. So long as she’s striking the match. Note to the reader: The Parkers’ Christmas in July Series is about three sisters that find ...

I would break the curse. I’d have my fun wedding hookup and I would not be marrying her after. If I had it my way, I’d never have to see her again, either. Joke’s on me. I run into her in the most unlikely of places. My oil rig in the middle of the ocean. Poseidon must have gotten a laugh at that one. She’s everywhere I turn, making an already dangerous environment even more treacherous. Raging waves below. Raging desires above. She’s a siren singing to me. I’m ready to dive in. But she’s not. I’m her brother’s best friend. But I could win her over. And that’s just what ...

My ex-love affair just showed up again, now as my boss. He’s the last person I want in my life. Namely because I’ve been hiding a secret from him. My kiddo. His kiddo. Ours. This possessive alpha male is impossible to pleasure and hot as sin. Being a billionaire, he decided to buy up the tax firm I’m at the top of the ladder with. So now I answer to him. And of course, he’s cocky enough to make immediate changes during our busiest time of the year.

Want the most romantic honeymoon experience you can get? I’m your gal. Unfortunately, it isn’t by experience that I know these things. Love doesn’t come easily to an overworked type-A planner who manages romance at the most luxurious resort in the Virgin Islands. I have far too many boxes to check to be checking out anything but forms, schedules, and rose petals. For the longest time, my career has been my ultimate dream and filled me up. Love was for others who needed a partner in life to get by, but not me. Until a class-A hottie shows up and knocks me off my feet—literally.

How in the world can someone tell a million romance tales and not have love? But then, like in chapter 20 in a good book, it happens. She walks up while I’m deep in thought and bam! It was a dimly lit bar and a rainy night. As soon as I laid eyes on her, a muse formed in my mind, and I had to talk to her. What? I’m a romance writer. Cut me some slack! Little did I know, though I should have, she rocked my world in ways I couldn’t create on paper or otherwise. She’d been with a lot of Mr. Wrongs, but maybe, just maybe, it was time for her to find Mr. Write.

New Year? New you. Nope… screw resolutions. I’ve got too much of the past to make up for to look toward the future. This New Year’s Eve is all about proving myself. But I won’t be able to do it alone. I need her. The sexy, hardcore musician who knows everyone. This beauty has the power to bring in the crowds to make my event a hit. I’m not using her. Not exactly. She’s a punk temptress on stage, but offstage? She might be the kind of girl you take home to Mom and Dad. But not my parents. Some say my greatest ancestors invented the wheel. Try living up to that. But this New ...

The Santas are striking, and it’s costing me my job. Good thing I’m marketable, even to the wrong guy. My best friend’s twin from high school is in need of someone with my talents to pull off the big opening at his ski resort in Vail. The handsome playboy with more one-night stands than the local motel happens to be my childhood sweetheart. In his mind, I’m the one that got away. Right, buddy. If I recall it right, it was him that ran like his ass was on fire while I nursed a broken heart.
