Nico Wright hates me because of my sister’s actions. I hate him because of how he makes me feel. I’m all twisted up with attraction, longing, and a large dose of shame. When I find out he’s the architect I need to help me get the old theater turned into a proper dance studio, I have no choice but to use his designs to bring my vision to reality. As I spend with Nico, I realize he’s the only one who understands how much I ache over losing my prima ballerina position at the Boston Ballet. He, too, had his dreams shattered by people who claimed to love him. Just like me.

Flawed....That’s how I’d been my whole life.  Moving from one woman to the next. I even threw away my marriage for a rump with a student. Commitment is a difficult thing to stick to.  At this point, no one will have me.  It doesn’t stop me from wanting Sophie. She’s smart and gorgeous.  To top it off, she gives me the cold shoulder.  It makes me crave her even more.  

I should get this promotion to the executive team. I have experience. Loyalty. Smarts. But the one thing I don’t have is the one thing I’ve never been able to achieve: a family. My personal life shouldn’t matter, but the executive team is filled with family men and women. Me? I’ve had a revolving door of dates. It’s just the way I like things - casual, no-strings. But it’s time to toss out the little black book and get serious. I need a woman who’s feisty, someone who can handle me. Someone like that hot little brunette I see in the elevator who sets my libido on fire.

I’d been okay with my life. Well, I was okay-ish. I was missing love, missing that happily ever after like my friends Elodie and Hollis had, like the kind plenty of their friends did, like Lincoln and Melody, and many others. And then life happened, and things fell apart...for Lincoln. But Elodie was Elodie, so she knew how to draw me in to help. So, help I did, which led to friendship, which led to my stupid heart being involved. Except it was only my heart involved.

Escaping the publicity following the murder of his wife, Oliver and his son relocate to a small town and start afresh. He never expected to fall for another woman. After years of moving from place to place, Sunny and her daughters finally settle on a little slice of Nebraskan soil. Falling for her neighbor was not part of her plan. But Oliver is hard to resist. And he’s determined to break down Sunny’s walls. When Sunny’s past collides with her present, will she do what she's done before - take her girls and run? Or will she stay and fight for love?

Money doesn't buy happiness. Trust me, I've had it all my life and I have nothing. No love. No joy. No pizzaz. To make matters worse, my parents are pushing me to marry someone who doesn't even give me orgasms. Yes, it took me a while to figure out that I needed to stand up for myself. Which is why I was on my way to NYC, boyfriendless and out on my own for the very first time in my life

The life of a playboy pilot most definitely has its ups and downs...quite literally and figuratively. The lack of attachment and platinum membership in the mile-high club can be satisfying, but I find it's lonely, never having anyone to go home to. No matter how I look at it, my taking-it-easy outlook on life seems perfect. What becomes a problem is when punches are thrown one stupid night and suddenly - I, a big-shot pilot - can’t see.

Those are the qualities that helped me win multiple Olympic medals, and when fate ended my swimming career early, those same qualities led me to run a thriving Manhattan restaurant business. But all of my success did nothing to prepare me for Savannah Reese. She’s beautiful, but also clumsy, awkward, and determined to make me question everything I ever believed to be true about myself. I thought I had all I wanted in life, until she shows me what I have been missing.

Ben Schilling hasn’t always been a superhero; it just sort of happened one day as he walked home from the subway. Since then, he’s found himself doing good deeds whenever necessary. Sometimes he sees an opportunity to help. Allison Kirby doesn’t need anyone’s help. So, when some jackass tries to help her get her stiletto unstuck from the grate in the sidewalk, she did what any self-respecting woman would do - she decked him.

I’m rarely a man who mixes business with pleasure but when I find myself hypnotized by a beautiful woman at the nightclub, I make the time to enjoy the finer things in life. Like having a quickie in the linen closet. Fast forward two weeks when that same magnificent woman shows up to my office, ready to work for my law firm as our new attorney.

A fresh start in Temecula, CA, was exactly what I needed to get over my breakup. I was looking forward to Palm Trees, fine wine, the beaches, and killer sunsets. But I never expected to run into handsome Levi Bateman while still on my way to California. The last thing I needed was a conceited passenger. I had a job to focus on. I knew Levi would be a distraction because we would be working in close proximity. He was so sure of himself, resisting him was even harder.

I love being a manny. Love it. Especially when my boss goes on extended business trips and leaves me with the keys to his Park Avenue penthouse. I mean, sure, I’ve got to watch his daughter, but she loves me almost as much as she loves her favorite K-pop group. Really. All is going well until their new neighbor thinks I’m the actual billionaire next door, and I don’t correct her. What could possibly go wrong?

Cold. Cruel. Fearless. Ed Mescal had been all those things. None of them fit. Rebel. That one did. To the people who loved him, he’d been a brother. A grandson. A friend. To Piper Warren, he thought, he’d been much more. But lies that get buried are old and ugly once they're unearthed, something Ed's enemies are about to discover. Now he's back, freed from the past and ready to reclaim the life and love stolen from him. If he can prove that even a rebel deserves a second chance.

Tim Reisher is a debonair pilot with a cocky attitude. He is well known throughout the airline community thanks to his penchant for beautiful women. Melissa Hansen is a new member of the National crew with a past she is attempting to escape. When the past does catch up, Tim finds himself caught in the middle. Will the two bring an attacker to justice? Will they lose their hearts to each other in the process?

All I had to do was steal a diamond necklace, and I’d be brought into the Hermosa Beach Crime Syndicate’s inner circle. My brother’s murder would not go unpunished. Pull off one heist, and I would be one step closer to bringing down his killers. The problem is someone else wants my spot on the crew. This dangerously sexy and infuriating man is in my way, threatening my chance to avenge my family. And he’s also a distraction I don’t need. Lincoln is smug and cocksure of himself, and I’m falling for him.

It began as a harmless prank. Then the next thing I know, I’m in the hospital parking lot with a looming deadline and a flat tire when Liam Dailey sidles up on a Harley, all brooding intensity and shaggy blond hair. He’s determined to be my savior. But I make a terrible damsel in distress. The verbal sparring is delicious foreplay, and in a weak moment, I give him my number. It’s a mistake.

Most people have two lives - the one they actually live and the one they dream of. For me, it's before and after. I was living my dream and loving every minute of it. It only took an instant for everything to come crashing down. Now, instead of being the center of attention, I try to hide in plain sight. Instead of champagne and parties, I have my coffee and my journal. And that's how I like it. Until Benton Riggs enters the picture. I’m immediately drawn to him and his secrets - the main one being his Jekyll & Hyde personalities.

One short trip to the wine store had me returning with a red wine stain on my white outfit and an attitude. When the cocky man who gave me both shows up for my "welcome home" party, things get interesting. Sexy and cocky, Max Shine, the locally famous weatherman, is the life of the party. His dance moves have all the ladies standing in line for a chance. I hate him. So why do I want his mouth on me? Why do I want to fight the woman hanging on him? Then he opens his mouth and reminds me. Yep, I hate him.

Eddie Houston wears the Blackwater Renegades MC “Nomad” rocker, serving as the club’s eyes and ears out west. Otherwise, the ex-convict junkyard picker and bouncer keeps to himself. He owes nobody, and he likes it that way. When a scruffy, half-starved kid with defiant blue eyes and an attitude to match is left on his doorstep, Eddie knows for sure “Lucky” ain’t his. And he ain’t no do-gooder. But the girl needs help, and his MC brothers will know what to do. Besides, while he’s visiting the club, he’s likely to find a hot woman to break his long, cold, dry spell.

What’s a girl to do when she discovers that her boss/boyfriend (I don’t need a lecture, thank you very much!) is a cheating windbag? Dump him and quit her job, of course. After that, it was supposed to be the Summer of Me - a totally self-indulgent few months. Except that I met a drop-dead gorgeous Viking with a bossy attitude.
