Lydia and Freddie. Freddie and Lydia. They’d been together for more than a decade and Lydia thought their love was indestructible. But she was wrong. On Lydia’s 28th birthday, Freddie died in a car accident. So now it’s just Lydia, and all she wants is to hide indoors and sob until her eyes fall out. But Lydia knows that Freddie would want her to try to live fully, happily, even without him. So, enlisting the help of his best friend, Jonah, and her sister, Elle, she takes her first tentative steps into the world, open to life - and perhaps even love - again.

I like my men how I like my wine, Tasty, full-bodied, and twice my age… like my best friend’s dad. I'm a dedicated nurse, and the responsible one (usually). So catching a ride after a night of drinking makes good sense. Except when that ride is loaded silver fox Landon Leggatt. And OH, did I ride. But afterward, the jerk acted like nothing happened between us, And left me wondering if the sparks were only in my head. I thought I’d gotten over him, until he hurts his ankle, And my best friend calls in a favor for my professional help. Now I'm stuck looking after this brooding grump, ...

They look out for me and I look out for them. Which is how I end up wedged in a broom closet with Mr. Frazier’s sexy as sin nephew.

One brother’s best friend + one hotel room = two blue lines If “sexy” had a mascot, my brother’s best friend would be it. Deep hazel eyes and a diamond cutting jawline. He offers me the business deal of a lifetime, If I play a convincing date for his ex’s destination wedding. But pretending we're smitten is easier said than done. His devilish smirk and cocky attitude work me up, Until I can't decide if I want to punch him or kiss him. Now sharing one room in paradise has me questioning everything.

My brother's best friend. My new boss. And now my baby daddy. Never get pregnant by your brother's best friend.

Embarrassing. I need to keep my head in the game. But we’re violating company policies left and right, And getting on HR’s bad side. Secret gazes, stolen touches, Me bent over the conference room table to “work it out of our systems”. Now it's too late, I'm screwed. He dipped his pen in my company ink.

But when I find him sitting in my small town’s diner, My breath catches and heat pools between my legs, The moment his hazel eyes lock onto mine. Sneaking away in his truck to make out behind the bleachers has me seeing stars. And it's like high school when we couldn't ...
