According to Grant Holiday, there are two kinds of people in the world: those who follow the rules and those who should stay the heck out of his forest. He’s decided I’m the rule-breaking enemy, and that’s just fine with me. No matter how pretty his green eyes are, how handsome he is, or how often he finds me when I’m lost, he is definitely not my type. A smart woman would lie low, try to follow the rules, and avoid Grant Holiday, but he just keeps showing up and pointing out every rule I’m breaking whether I’m rescuing an injured skunk or accepting a job at his brother’s ...

My obnoxious, unemployed neighbor is the last man on earth I’d ever marry, but to save my job and my reputation in this small town I’ll have to pretend I’m his fiancée. I’ve always played by the rules. I work hard and I take care of the people I love. Sure my furniture hasn’t been updated since the sixties (I inherited it from my parents), I love classic movies, and I prefer sweater sets to mini-skirts, but that doesn’t mean I’m ready to settle down with fifteen cats and accept spinster-hood. I want to fall in love, marry the right guy–an upstanding, risk-averse, good ...

I never planned to act on my attraction to my best friend. Keeping my pregnancy a secret from him just sort of happened. And when his mother invited me to live with her in a small town where I could hide from the world, I let my heart lead. In all other aspects of my life, I’ve followed a plan. I’ve been methodical, rational, and I’ve never acted without careful consideration. One night with Noah Reynolds and a pink line on a plastic stick, and I barely recognize myself anymore. Noah is so much more than my boss and my best friend, he’s the man my gaze tracks no matter how many ...

In the merriest town on earth, my plot to win back my ex has run into a serious problem. The plan is simple. All I have to do is stalk my ex-fiancé, ‘accidentally’ bump into him in this Christmas-obsessed town he’s moved to, and – bam! - he’ll regret dumping me and beg me to take him back. Problem number 1: He’s got a girlfriend. A sweet, adorable woman. New plan: Find someone to lure my ex’s girlfriend away so I can step in and win him back. Problem number 2: The gorgeous, grumpy man I’ve just asked to distract the girlfriend is storming over to my ex with a murderous ...

Asher Aldridge became my enemy the day he decided to steal my gym. It doesn’t matter how many years I’ve been working as a fitness influencer and trainer, because Asher is friends with the current owner of the gym I need to buy. And it’s very clear the owner wants to sell the gym to his buddy, he’s just trying to give Asher enough time to save up the money. Asher might be all smiles and good vibes, but the over-muscled lug isn’t fooling me. I’m going to fight for this gym even if it requires a battle to the death. My death apparently, because the owner has challenged me and ...

I prefer high heels to fishing reels, but single dad Henry Cooper is determined to hook me. I’ve seen too many women give up everything they want for some man, and I refuse to do the same. That path leads straight to heartache. I say the absolute wrong thing every time I’m around him, but Henry still flirts and teases like he’s mistaken me for someone with a sense of humor. My plan to avoid the construction contractor with the big hands, strong thighs, and ridiculous fishy puns is shot all to heck when my cousin asks Henry to teach us how to fly fish for an upcoming competition. I’m...

The grumpiest man in this small town is the father of my baby. It’s not breaking and entering if the door’s unlocked, is it? I mean, I did knock. My brothers are on their way to Samuel Oakley’s house to syrup and glitter bomb him. I need to warn the man. When Sam races into his office, rifle in hand, naked and dripping wet, I realize my mistake. But I can’t regret getting another chance to see him naked, because that man… I’d go to jail for that. In all the commotion, I might have forgotten to tell him I’m pregnant with his child, but that doesn’t give him the right to barge...

No one ever said finding buried treasure would be easy, but it would be a lot easier if the man helping me wasn't so distractingly gorgeous. I’ve never been one for big dreams or wild adventures. I love my small life, working just enough to have time for my art. The only thing I’ve ever really wanted is my sisters all together again. Even though we're living together, we’re drifting farther apart, each caught up in our own lives and loves. Embarking on a treasure hunting adventure might just be what we need to bring us closer. Even if it means stepping out of my comfort zone and into ...

If first impressions determine a relationship, my new neighbor and I should be the worst of enemies. Not only did my cheating boyfriend threaten to call the police on my new duplex neighbor, Oscar, but I called him by the wrong name when I ran into him later that same day. After he’d given me the double fudge muffin he’d just bought. The last one at the bakery. I don’t get close to anyone. Letting people in means letting in their questions, their pity, their concern. I’ve gotten really good at pretending everything is fine, that I’m happy and my life is perfect. No one, not even ...

Faking a romantic relationship with my best friend was supposed to be as easy as escaping into a good book, but I didn’t account for falling for him. Noah’s been my best friend for years. Unlike my boyfriends, he never complains about how much I work or how driven I am to succeed. He’s never suggested I love words more than people. He’s the first person I want to talk to about everything, good or bad, and I’m not going to ruin our friendship by admitting how gorgeous I find him or how often I think about him. But when the only way to save both our careers is to pretend to be ...

Especially not Garrick, the gorgeous outdoor guide who thinks I’m the one blocking his attempts to get the permits he needs to grow his business. I’m actually the only one fighting for him to get those permits...

All my life, I’ve been told I’m not enough. Not smart enough, not capable enough, not proper enough, but Nick Grove looks at me like I’m everything he’s ever wanted. Christmas is only a month away, and I’m going to make sure everyone gets what they want. I just have to save a toy company to do it. And, if I’m a very good girl, maybe I’ll get what I want too.

It was supposed to be a prank. I wasn’t supposed to fall in love… It all started as a plan to cheer up my grumpiest brother and make my life easier. I created a fake account for him on a dating site to find the perfect woman to cure his broken heart.

Life taught me not to rely on anyone but family and I’m not going to let some billionaire wannabe rancher distract me from what’s really important: raising my daughters well. Meeting my new neighbor while covered in horse manure isn’t my first choice. Unfortunately no one asked me. Certainly not Keating Sullivan, the arrogant, pushy, gorgeous billionaire who barged onto the ranch where I work and demanded the right to search for his missing alpaca like he’s entitled to the world. I mean, I’m sorry he lost his pet, but I’m alone on the ranch with my two young daughters and he’s...

Levi Sullivan is a total player and the world’s biggest flirt. He’s also my brother’s best friend, and the man I’ve had a crush on for most of my life.

I'm struggling to complete my nursing degree, my sisters hate me and refuse to listen to anything I say - a real problem considering I'm their guardian - and now my brother ...

Sometimes a mistake is the only thing that will save you. I’m taking a vacation to a small town in the middle of nowhere to forget a kiss. A smoking hot kiss on a dance floor with a gorgeous man. A man who is my colleague and my boss. A man for whom I feel way too much. Some people call me an ice queen. That’s okay with me. I’d rather be called names than flaunt my emotions like everyone should care that I’m sad or lonely or lost. Except that it’s hard to be stoic or cold when Alex Owings shows up on my vacation and flashes his charming smile. He claims he’s never forgotten that...

Hitting the road with the only man who gives me butterflies while simultaneously making me want to punch him could be the biggest mistake of my life, or it could be the best thing I ever do. Three years ago, George Gregory kissed me. It was the sort of kiss that felt like the start of something really great. He spent the next twenty minutes telling me how much he loved his ex, and then he called me Mary. My name is May. Since that fateful evening, I’ve made it a point to never, ever, ever call him by the right name. I also mock him every chance I get. I love the way his cheeks turn red ...

My brother's best friend, the man I hate more than anyone in the world. Now, he's my boss. Jude Cassidy was my best friend as much as he was my brother’s until he betrayed us both. I might have been able to forgive him hurting me, but I’ll never forgive him for tearing my family apart and leaving me to pick up the pieces. After all these years, he’s the last person I expect to run into, let alone offer me a job. He hates me as much as I hate him, but I don’t really have a choice. I’ll do the work, make the money, and get the heck out of Vegas. Except the way he offered me the job ...

Watch the sparks fly as the fairy and the werewolf discover more than they'd ever bargained for in their search for a troll who just might not want to be found.

Marrying my best friend seemed like the best way to keep him in my life, but it might be the one thing that pushes him away for good. The first time I saw Jared Reynolds, I wanted to lean into him and steal some of his warmth and laid back, easygoing nature. I also wanted to kiss him, but I tucked that away. Wanting anything too much has never worked out for me. I’ll blame the wine until my dying day, but I was entirely sober when I agreed to Jared’s offer to marry me if I was still single in three years. He only offered because I’d been emotional and complaining about my perpetual ...
