Raven was a dancer at one of the clubs the Diamondbacks own. As their VP when things started going sideways with our manager, I came in and Raven stepped up to the plate, helping us out. I took one look at her and I knew she was special. She may have deserved better than me, but I wasn’t about to let anyone else have her. When her past catches up with her, you better believe I’m going to shield and protect her with everything I am. Because when a Diamondback claims his old lady—it’s forever.

As president of the Diamondback Motorcycle Club, settling down never occurred to me. I have my club, and that’s all I needed. My mind changed with one look at the dark-haired beauty in need of help. Persephone Chapman should have been dead; the fact that she has the grit and determination to survive is exactly what I want in an old lady. It’s more than that, though. It’s the softness in her touch and the way she makes even a hardened man like me long for more. She deserves to be cherished, and I’m going to make sure no one hurts her again. In fact, I’m claiming her as mine.

I'm a man who knows what he wants and what I want is Birdie. It hurt like hell to watch her leave our small town to set off and chase her college dreams.

Judge Samuel Kavanaugh took one look at Eden Powers and knew she would be his. Everything about her screams off limits. I don't do romance with my coworkers. That's a rule I've never broken. Then, there's the fact that I'm fifteen years her senior. The warning bells are going off, but I'm ignoring them. Nothing will stop me from making that curvy court reporter mine.

I wasn't prepared for Delilah Taylor. Settling down was never on my radar. Almost getting caught with my mouth and hands on her body were definitely not in my plans. Now that I've had a taste of her, I'm rethinking every single f*cking thing.

The last thing I expected to find during a police bust is my best friend's sister, Kennedy Fontaine. The single mom has always been off limits. With her ex out of the picture, her daughter has me wrapped around her finger. One thing about this situation, you can look but you can't touch. That was before she called me and needed my help. Now, I'm in deep, I'll do anything to keep her safe—even if that means arresting her.

Tysen Vaughn is used to commanding the skies, but when his eyes lock on Maci sitting at the airport bar, he's suddenly grounded. She's captivating—her beauty, her energy—pulling him in with an undeniable force. One wild, unforgettable night of passion where time stood still. No last names, no promises, no expectations. Only raw, scorching chemistry.

Johnny Gonzales let her walk away from everything they built and everything they were. Winnie left me to fix something—someone—she couldn't save, and I refused to help. When she packed her bags to leave, I didn't chase her. Now she's back, years later, looking just as beautiful as the first day I met her. I'm slammed back to the time when she was mine and the feelings I thought I lost come rushing back. I'm speechless, I'm pissed, and I'm trying to figure out why she's in Whispering Oaks.

The last thing Dr. Luke Camden should be thinking about is her. There's something about the way she looks at him. Soft and sinful, eyes dark with desire, sliding over him in a slow, sensual way, holding him hostage every damn time. It makes him lose all sense of time. She's intoxicating. She's off-limits. She's his patient. Some rules are meant to be broken, and he'll break every last one of them if it means having Shae as his.

I always said I wouldn't be the settling-down type—wild at heart, chasing the next thrill. Everything changed the day Lyric came storming back into my life like a hurricane—sudden, intense, and impossible to ignore. We were kids when she left, her parents packing up their house to move for her father's job. We promised we'd stay in touch, and for a while, we did.

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.

A recluse. A Billionaire. That's who I am. I haven't wanted or needed anything in a long time, especially not a woman. That is until my eyes lock on a beautiful woman who shines brighter than a diamond, standing on a platform, waiting for men to bid on her for a date as part of a charity auction event. It's something I wanted no part of until my business partner forced my hand. Now the only goal I have is to take what I want and what I want is Nessa Taylor. I'll make sure none of the vultures circling her get a chance. She's mine even if I have to play dirty to have her.

I always get what I want and what I want is Amelie. One month after leaving, my only thoughts were of the woman I left to protect. Thoughts of her consumed me night and day, pushing me to work harder and faster in order to have her back in my arms. The need to protect her from my own blood, a father who would ruin me and anyone that means anything to me in order to further his political career.

Marlie: Tanner is a tall glass of water on a hot summer day. Handsome doesn’t even touch the surface, and the way he gave me his rapt attention at my best friend's wedding—it was unbelievable, until it was too good to be true. Yet he never called, and no girl ever wants to be forgotten. Tanner: After too many days to count of blowing up everyone’s phone, I’d exhausted all efforts and was nowhere near close to finding Marlie’s real number. Yeah, I screwed that up, but I’ll do anything I can to make things right and make her mine.

Keller is more than what meets the eyes, a single father, completely devoted to his son, Jace. Who also happens to be a student in my classroom, my eyes were wide open when Keller and I started our quote-unquote relationship. Too bad my heart didn’t get the memo.

Montana: I called him, needing someone to pick me up from a night of one too many margaritas. Little did I know Asa would give me the ride of my life. The only problem is we have to keep our relationship a secret from his family, along with my best friend, his sister. Asa: I’m known for being the jokester, the one who’ll never get married, the one that says every inappropriate thing at the wrong time. That all changes when Montana takes a chance on me. The personality that I used as a smokescreen is gone, and in its wake is a man that wants his woman.

Deke Hart is a complete and total jerk, so why am I going to a family function as his fake girlfriend? That’s easy to answer. I owe him after he helped me out of a jam. There’s only one problem. He’s easy on the eyes. When Deke isn’t talking, he’s doing amazing things to my body. I have a past. Don’t we all? Am I letting it rule my future? Sure. Do I have a chip on my back because of it? Yes. Am I using Kelsey in more ways than one? Absolutely. What I’m unprepared for is that I’m the one going after Kelsey, when all it seems she’s wanting is to keep things platonic.

The moment Asher Fontaine's gaze met hers, something deep within him stirred—something he hadn't felt in years. She wasn't the kind of woman who needed him. She wasn't the kind of woman who needed anyone, it seemed. Lennon doesn't need a man like him—someone who keeps his distance, hiding behind his career and a past of his own. But the more he watches her, the more he craves the warmth she unknowingly offers.

A wife. Happily ever after. That was never in the cards for me, not with a past like mine. Everything changed when Millie entered my life.

She had her life ahead of her, I wasn't going to be the one to screw it up. Now she's back seeking a job at my law firm, all grown up in one delicious package and I know I won't be able to keep my hands off of her.
