Rosaleigh caught my eyes from the beginning, but I didn't make my move. She was too young. Unfortunately, my best friend didn't have the same morals. It killed me, watching from a distance as he disrespected the woman who was always meant to be mine. When she finally discovers the truth about him, all bets are off. I'm done holding back. I make my move, ready to prove she has a real man now—one who will have her back and give her the life she deserves. I won't let anything stop me. She's not getting away again. I'm going to make her mine.

From the age of five, I knew one thing: Blake Jacobi was going to be in my life for a very long time. For years, he was my protector, my best friend, my shoulder to cry on. I even followed him to Chicago when he got picked up by an NHL team. Then lines got blurred and we landed in each other's beds, but we were able to push feelings aside and not let a few little slips ruin our friendship. At least, that's what I keep telling myself.

They call them the Beast Brothers. On the field, they’re brutes. Off the field, they’re huge and hard, and have a reputation for going at it like animals.

Zoey Rowlett knows putting her savings into a run-down summer camp is risky. But River Camp has sentimental value - it’s where she met her best friends and coinvestors. Their plan is to turn the Florida camp into a sexy retreat for wealthy snowbirds looking for love, and if Zoey finds love, too, that would be just fine. Dylan Rhodes and his brothers are on a secret mission to find their father. He’s absconded with a large sum of money, and Dylan thinks he might be buzzing around this wild new summer camp. Hoping for answers, Dylan takes a job at the camp.

It’s my first day at the ice cream shop and I’m nervous as all get out. I’ve never worked at a place like this. And I know I better not screw it up, because my older brother hooked me up with the job - his buddy owns the place. As it turns out, though? The hardest part of the job isn’t scooping ice cream. It’s resisting my brother’s hot friend - aka my hunky, irresistible new boss.

Cassandra Montana—once known as Tina Moore—had been the girl no one ever worried about. She’d been raised in a loving family in Washington DC where her father served in the White House, and her mother was a DC socialite. She’d been pegged as America’s Sweetheart from the first time she’d been photographed with a butterfly on her fingertip at the tender age of three with both of her parents behind her, their heads thrown back in laughter.

After I spot the hottest man I’ve ever seen—tall, ripped, tattooed, and impossibly gorgeous—I spend weeks fantasizing about all the dirty, dirty things he could do to me. When we finally meet, I’m ready for the best one-night fling ever—until he introduces me to his twin brother! Unlike my besties, I’ve always thought two men were too much trouble. But Deke and Jake Abbott, leather-clad biker kings, might just change my mind.

To save the dragons, we must save each other. It was supposed to be simple. Expose the truth, save the dragons. That was before we knew the perverted source of the priests’ power. The savage lengths our enemies will go to keep it. Our foes don’t want us dead. They want us broken. Love is our bond. Our salvation. Our power. But will it be enough to keep us from shattering? The lives of all dragons are on the line.

In my line of business, every day dawns with the smell of death in the air. But it’s not a bullet that’s going to slay me. It’s Sabella, the woman who was promised to me—the woman who betrayed me. We’re heading down a path of destruction, but there’s no turning back. At the first chance she gets, she’ll stab me in the back again. She’s a dangerous risk and a threat to my family. If I were wise, I’d eliminate that risk and leave her funeral to the sharks. I must be an idiot, because I’m going to finish what I started, no matter the cost.

Forced to participate in seven tasks, each designated by one of the seven kings, my life has just become exponentially more complicated. First task? Travel to the Mermaid King with my mate and his sadistic brothers and kill a nameless, faceless, non-existent man. Easy.

I play right ring, and I’m the team’s star forward. Hockey is in my blood, and my career is the most important thing in my life. Until I see her. She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Her blue eyes are as light as an Arctic winter—and just as icy—because not only is she the coach's daughter, but she wants nothing to do with hockey or hockey players. I’ll do whatever it takes to prove to her that she’s mine—even if it means stalking her.

Why’d I do it? Because, I'm a nosy brat. I had to know what they were doing on Savage Mountain. Why were they hiding there? And when I found, out, I was sorry I’d snooped. Because, these weren’t the nicest of people. Although, they sure freaked nice. That made it hard to leave. Well, their tying me to the bed made it hard to leave, too.

It was supposed to be a holiday, a trip of a lifetime to discover myself. The truth is I was running from life back home and away from my best friend. Andrew "Andy" Baker is also family. At least—that's how we were raised. Then, I fell in love with life in London. And I met Prince Charming. It all just fell into place until it didn't. But I took a vow. And vows are not made to be broken, no matter how much it hurts to let go of a man you're in love with. A man other than your husband.

I had no idea the Reapers Rejects MC had agreed to take me under their wing. It turned out, the club promised my father they'd keep me safe in exchange for information, and my job offer was nothing more than them keeping their end of the deal. There I was, in a place I wasn't genuinely wanted.

When I’m chosen to star on the nation’s most popular reality dating show, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Being selected to star on For Keeps is a dream come true. Beautiful clothes, luxurious locations, and men--lots and lots of men. Thirty, to be exact. And it’s my job to narrow thirty down to one. Easy, right? Not when there are so many good men, and not when I start to fall in love with more than one of them.

If there's one girl out there I shouldn't mess with, it's Stormy. Everything about her screams off limits. She's too young, hurting from being screwed over, and my niece's best friend. Don't get me wrong, I'm no saint. But this girl is the biggest temptation I've ever had. That's anything but good—especially in the small town we live in. When her world is turned upside down on what was supposed to be her wedding day, I come to her rescue.

The thing that makes me special is also the reason I’ve been kidnapped. Somewhere in my head, I have access to a code, given to me at the moment my world collapsed. It’s what my kidnappers want - all four of them - and their mysterious boss whose very name makes my heart beat faster. Hard men. Criminals, I’m sure. Willing to do anything to break me, and take what they want. But locked in the dark, I soon realize it’s not only what’s in my head they’re after.

For Hannah Rodgers, running an adult summer camp with her four best friends is the ideal distraction from her controlling family. She’s worked hard to become her own woman, but now her parents want to marry her off for business reasons. What is this, the Middle Ages? Hannah would much rather enjoy the sunny delights of camp and flirt with Owen Costa, the hunky help.

Emily Finland - 25, college graduate, hot mess, lover of all things cheese. Hasn’t had a date in a year. Yeah, that’s not something I would put in a dating profile. Ever. In fact, I can’t be bothered to date. There are so many awful guys out there. I much prefer to Netflix and chill with a pizza. But of course, my busybody best friend Charlotte was having none of that. She persuaded me to go on a blind date, and even though I was reluctant, I decided to go. I never expected to meet a man like Liam Montgomery.
