Marry me. That’s what my brother’s best friend—Logan Beckett, an ex-Marine—says to me in the cereal aisle. Logan needs a wife to boost his veteran housing benefits . I’m jobless, drowning in medical debt, and one asthma attack away from disaster. I need health insurance and a lifeline. One year. No feelings. Separate beds. What could go wrong? Everything—because Logan Beckett has never felt like a business arrangement. Not when he looks at me like I’m his mission. Not when he tries to protect me. And definitely not when he kisses me after our courthouse vows like he means it. ...

I used to be somebody. Country music star, platinum albums, sold-out tours—until I publicly called out Nashville’s golden boy for stealing my songs and watched my entire career implode on live television. Now I'm hiding out in Millbrook, Texas, where I've just inherited half of The Dusty Boot, the struggling venue where I first fell in love with music. The catch? My business partner is Gage Travis—the boy I left behind ten years ago, who's grown into the kind of man that makes smart women do stupid things. We have six weeks to save The Dusty Boot from corporate developers who want to ...

Three rules keep me sane at college: Perfect GPA. Always early. No hockey boys near my ice. Then Matt Gable skates in—cocky smirks, chaotic energy, and zero respect for boundaries.

Evie My bookstore is quiet, cozy, and billionaire-free—until Mason York shows up. He’s rich, rude, and ridiculously hot. Worse? I think he’s the anonymous guy I’ve been sexting at night. Smart. Dirty. Weirdly sweet. If he’s really StrangerPen007… I’ve already told him everything I want… And now he’s looking at me like he plans to deliver. Mason Evie is curves wrapped up in fire and sarcasm. I came to buy a building. Instead, I found the woman who’s been driving me wild through a screen. She says I can’t have her? Too late. She’s already mine.

One hunky landlord. One fake relationship. One renovation that’s about to wreck my plans—and maybe my heart. Moving into this fixer-upper was supposed to be a fresh start. I didn’t count on Gideon Markham. He’s quiet and built like the kind of problem I don’t need. Everything about him is guarded—his words, his past, his stare that lingers a little too long when he thinks I’m not looking. Then I find a flyer for a couples’ renovation contest, and suddenly I’ve got a wild idea and one shot at finally making something of my own. All I need is a partner. And Gideon? Like it ...

Chloe I was just there to pass appetizers and not spill anything on the guests. Easy enough—until I trip (literally) into Ethan Drake. Yes, that Ethan Drake. Hollywood Hills billionaire. Ridiculously hot. Ridiculously sinful. And now? Ridiculously obsessed with me. I’m curvy, sarcastic, and absolutely not looking to be anyone’s flavor of the week… But he’s not playing by normal rules. He’s playing dirty—and I might be into it. Ethan She was supposed to blend into the background. Just the hired help. Just another party. Instead, Chloe Maddox walked in with curves that could ...

Lacey The last thing I need is another cocky billionaire thinking I’ll bend just because he barks. But when Jaxon Wolfe shows up in my Pilates class, the internet goes wild—and so does my schedule. Now he wants private sessions. I agree…with conditions. No flirting. No flexing. No CEO games. But the man doesn’t play fair. He watches like he already owns me. Touches like he’s memorizing my body for later. And when he starts listening. That’s when I know I’m in trouble. Jaxon She’s fire in leggings with a voice like a dare and curves I’m still dreaming about. I wanted one ...

Tessa I thought penthouse-sitting would be easy money—quiet nights, expensive wine, and zero complications. Then HE shows up at my door.

Isla Designing tuxedos for the ultra-rich is just another Tuesday. Until Roman King walks in—all sharp jaw, sharp suit, and sharper ego. He wants a custom tux. I want him out of my fitting room. Instead, I find myself pressed up against six feet of alpha billionaire with control issues and a voice that melts my spine. The problem? He’s not just dangerously hot—he’s dangerously close to unraveling everything I’ve built. Roman She’s mouthy, brilliant, and built like a sin I want to commit on repeat. Isla Quinn tells me no like it’s her job—and maybe it is. But when I want ...

He was the third-string goalie no one saw coming. But I saw him first. Every early skate. Every extra rep. Every quiet moment no one else noticed. Before the spotlight and before the campus fell in love with him—I already had. Now Jason Harrison’s the golden boy with a pro offer on the table. Everyone wants a piece of him. But I’m the one he worshipped in the dark. The one he held like a lifeline. We burned hot. Fell hard. And then he kept the one secret that could break us. Because love isn’t just about the highs—it’s about who you are when everything’s on the line. He made ...

I'm back in Millbrook Texas for one summer—helping Dad with his veterinary clinic while taking a break from grad school. What I didn't expect was spending my days elbow-deep in horse rehabilitation with the same arrogant bull rider who humiliated me at the county fair seven years ago. Tucker Conway is still infuriatingly hot, still rides bulls like he has a death wish, and still thinks his charming smile can get him out of anything. Now he's Dad's most important client, and I'm the only one qualified to oversee his high-profile animal rehab program. We're stuck working together all summer...

Maggie I caught billionaire Dorian Ford doing something scandalous. So naturally, I sold the story. It wasn’t personal—just rent. Now he wants revenge. Instead, he offers me a job. Fix his PR mess.

I’m one airline ticket away from missing my cousin’s wedding in the Maldives. Cue full-blown airport meltdown… until billionaire Elijah Anderson steps in. He’s older. Gorgeous. Grumpy. And wildly out of my league. Definitely not the type to help a stranger in crisis—yet somehow, he buys me a first-class ticket and a seven-night stay in an impossibly luxurious ocean villa... Just to help. But nothing about Elijah feels casual. Not the way he watches me like he’s already undressing me. And definitely not the tension crackling between us every time we’re alone.
