Louis wants what his parents had: all-encompassing love. He never believed he’d find it until a chance meeting with a man in his childhood vacation spot. Unfortunately, a brief encounter is all they have before Mal disappears. When Louis unexpectedly meets up with him again, he refuses to let go, not willing to trust that fate would allow them to meet a third time.

I can’t believe I’ve fallen in love with a single dad. I’m not looking for anything serious when I fall into Logan Simpson’s bed. He’s the former basketball team captain and my high school sweetheart. We broke up when we went to different colleges. He has a business and a three-year-old girl named Annabelle now. His ex-wife is out of the picture, and somehow we end up tangling the sheets together. Now I’m pregnant and don’t know how to tell him the news.

I never expected to meet a handsome stranger on a family vacation with my brother, Chance, and his wife and son. And I sure as hell didn't expect to hop on a 19-day cruise with said handsome stranger across the Pacific. Hey, you only live once, right? I didn't have the best track record. I'd made some bad decisions in my life and hurt people in the process. For some reason, this trip felt like a new beginning for me; a fresh start to finally get my life back on track. I just didn't plan to fall in love in the process.

My Thursday afternoon meeting was a no-show. Imagine my surprise when a drenched, flustered brunette slipped into the booth across from me, acting like she was supposed to be there. When she slipped back out with a snappy good-bye, I never thought I'd see her again. Until I walked into my Friday morning meeting. At first, I didn't recognize her - she was dry this time. But from the look on her face, she recognized me.

I screwed up. Considering the team is laden with controversy, adding to the rumor mill wasn’t my intention, especially since this is my second shot at the majors. As the Boston Bears’ first basemen, my job consists of more than winning games. I’m tasked with winning over the scorned fans.

Life as a Las Vegas fake wedding coordinator has never been boring. Unfortunately for me, it just got a little too exciting...the bad kind of exciting that lands you in the emergency room. On the bright side, it was a hot paramedic who showed up to save the day. Sure, he’s a bit cocky, but it works for him. And now I can’t get him out of my mind...which was the good kind of exciting until it wasn’t. Until one date turned into a fake marriage fiasco. Now I don’t know if we’re really falling for each other or if it’s all an act.

The plane took off, and I couldn't stop trembling, despite the soothing sound of the pilot singing a Beatles song over the intercom. My name is Bianca “Binx” Moretti, and I hack from the rich to give to the poor - mostly. Only I hacked from the wrong rich guy and was literally on the flight for my life. When Xander Hawke took the seat next to me, he tried to charm me with his smooth-talking ways and dimpled cheeks. Yeah, he’s drop-dead gorgeous, but he's also arrogant as hell.

Coming home seemed like a good idea at the time. My ex-fiancé split, I was almost done with my master’s degree, and I was already working at the family architecture firm. When I move in next door to pediatrician Ryder Mackay, I’m not expecting the connection - or the passion in his eyes that I feel deep in my soul. He’s the best doctor for my baby, but he’s not the guy I need. Still, the way Ryder looks snuggling my puppy - and my infant daughter - to his rock-hard chest makes me wish this sexy, smart, compassionate man was mine.

“What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?” When Ryder DeLuca posed that question to me at my cousin’s wedding reception, the last thing I expected was to end up in his bed. I was the kind of woman who lived inside the lines - until I broke the rules for a smooth-talking, creative Casanova. I really shouldn’t have been surprised when I woke up alone in his hotel room. Three years later, our worlds collided once more, and this time, I wasn’t only caught off guard by Ryder’s sexy, dimpled smirk, but also by the little boy standing at his side.

Trusting others means taking risks, and that’s hard for me to do. I mean, when your mother abandons you as a child, you’re left with scars. I’m not reckless. I’m not wild. I play by the rules. It’s safer that way. Or so I thought.... Catching my boyfriend cheating on me confirmed every reason I’d kept my heart guarded. But being kissed by a sexy-as-sin stranger in front of him proved how little I was in control. It was passionate, electric, and it rocked me to my core. He stole my breath but replaced it with anger. I stormed away without so much as a name exchange.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Well, except for when it doesn't. And while for Linda Carter, that was a night she will never forget, for Asher Sloan, it was a night he couldn’t remember. A year later, their paths cross once more. Their chemistry is still combustible, but Linda has learned her lesson when it comes to Asher all too well, and she doesn’t plan on getting burned again. Refusing to take no for an answer, Asher comes up with a solution: a three-month deal where they can both get what they want.

What do you do when your cheating business partner/boyfriend (bad, bad idea) announces he’s selling your software company on Thursday to fund his new life with his other girlfriend? You hurry back to stop him, of course. He’s not getting rich on my dime! Or that would be the plan, but I’m currently lost in the Klamath Mountains, access to my car cut off by a California wildfire, and there’s no way I make it back in time.

When Hayley Stephens proposed a collaboration with me and my band, I thought the only risk was that we wouldn’t connect and our music would suffer because of it. I couldn’t’ve been more wrong. Our connection was off the charts and unwittingly, Hayley filled a void I’d long since grown accustomed to. There was just one problem: she was involved with Kevin Peyton and I had no right falling for her.

London’s most eligible bachelor, Ryder Winston Noble, is working on a special project at Morgan Financial Holdings in New York City, and I managed to land a job on his team. For a recent technology grad like me, working alongside the crazy hot, self-made billionaire and computer genius is the opportunity of a lifetime.

Tall, bearded, and rock-star handsome, he is only looking to order two coffees to go when he walks into Peace Café. Instead, Tucker leaves with a pocket-rocket spitfire in his arms, returning her safely to Temecula wine country after their meet-cute takes a turn for the worse. Ophelia doesn’t date. She’s in a committed relationship, working on herself and her soon-to-be-open tiny-house Airbnb business, the Fainting Goat Ranch. Tucker wants a date.

Drake Thomas is my best friend’s brother and the last person I expected to rescue me from my fear of flying. That’s exactly what my sexy, egotistical enemy did when he turned our missed flight into a road trip adventure filled with the unexpected–like the undeniable sexual tension between us. I may have hated the man, but there is no denying that I wanted him. And he wanted me, too.

Bentley Mendoza is making a name for himself as the only rookie on the Austin Rattlers basketball team. He’s living the dream life. A new house, a different woman every night of the week. What more could he want? Except the brunette flight attendant who refuses to go out with him. Jolene Haines is swearing off men after her failed fling with a pilot. All she needs is her best friend and her bed. Now that International Airlines is partnering with professional basketball teams, she’ll be surrounded by sexy athletes.

The last thing Carla wants is to go on a road trip across country with a loud-mouthed, bossy biker. Rooster lives up to his name as the cockiest member of her father’s motorcycle club, and it’s pretty much hate at first sight. After growing up in the MC life, she’s used to dealing with men like him, but there’s something about him she can’t shake. Beneath the cocky veneer, there’s something more there, something sincere, and that has her interested.

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.

The first time I met Benson LaCroix, he sat in a bar wearing “cocky player” like a cheap cologne. The second time, he stood in a locker room in nothing but a jockstrap and a scowl. Apparently, the Miami Storm’s star pitcher isn’t too thrilled his new boss is the woman who turned him down.
