Ben was the man I never forgot. Five years ago in Vegas, he left me with more than memories. I was pregnant. And I had no way to find him. Today, my family business is going under. Guess who shows up to buy it? Ben McCullough. Sleek and bossy. A blast from my dark past. He's not just investing in my bakery. He's bonding with my son. Wonder what happens when he discovers it's OUR son....

After watching my older brothers fall in love, I knew it was a matter of time before I'd be the one mindlessly losing my head over a girl, but I didn't expect it to happen so fast. I was supposed to buy a house, get a job, and spend the next few years enjoying my youth before submitting to one woman for the rest of my life. Fate had different plans, though, sending me on a mission to pursue a girl who didn't want to be pursued. Too bad that fate and the past get in our way... Just when I think I'm winning, a well-kept Hayes family secret turns our lives upside down.

He was the only one to survive the blast that killed the unit. She was the only one to survive the accident that changed her life. He was the sole survivor in the attack on his unit. He doesn't believe he should have lived and that is holding back his healing. The survivor's guilt is strong. Fortunately, Mia knows a thing or two about survivor's guilt. He may not want to listen to what she has to say but she isn't giving up on him. When a ghost from his past triggers not just him but her too the amount of strength he has determines who he runs after.

I didn't get to be the head of the Di Salvo crime family by showing mercy. Just the opposite, in fact. Until I meet her. Thalia. My girl witnessed something that could get her killed, but it's my job to protect her now. She's not just a loose end to tie up, she's a shy, curvy goddess with a silent strength she's not even aware of. In my line of business, love is a liability. A weakness. Yet, every day Thalia is under my protection, I'm drawn closer to her warmth and soft-spoken words. This woman might just be my salvation.

Finding my daughter is all that matters now. Aurora is out there somewhere, and I’ll do whatever it takes to bring her home. Thankfully, I’m not in this fight alone. I have Logan, my rock, who is always ready to catch me when I fall. Royce, who is learning to trust and opening his heart, and Grayson—still haunted but finding strength in our connection. Together, we're unstoppable. We’re racing against time, piecing together clues and facing our worst fears. But Bertram, the monster from my past, is hellbent on taking everything from me. He's relentless, and he's not playing by any rules.

I left for a weekend in Las Vegas and came back with a husband. Gideon James isn't just any husband. He's the wealthy CEO of a Vegas casino and hotel, he's devastating in a suit—and he's Bourbon Canyon, Montana's very own prodigal son. Now he's returning to claim the land my brothers are in the middle of purchasing from his father. With me at his side, Gideon will finally be able to stop the sale.

When I sold a vintage typewriter, I never imagined its new owner would become my pen pal, best friend, and secret crush. We have two rules: no photos and no real names. Over the years, "Remington" and I have gone from typewritten notes to daily texts, but our rules stay the same. And so does my life. I'm a wannabe writer who can't complete a novel, and I've fallen for a guy who I've never met. So when I received a letter my Nanna wrote before she died encouraging me to embark on a summer of risks—my first on the list was to break all the rules.

Ryder Black. He's my brother's best friend. My teenage crush. And one of the world's most famous stars. And now… he's my new boss? When my vintage shop goes out of business, I need to regroup and figure out what comes next. So I get a job dog-sitting for Ryder for the summer. Soon, we go from texting to temporary roommates. I try to play it cool. Except cool doesn't come naturally to me. And one night, too many martinis and a few poor choices combine. The result is a viral video of me accidentally revealing my crush for the world—and Ryder—to hear.

I'm her best friend's older brother. When this feisty little thing pissed off a rival mob boss, I should have felt like a bastard for stripping her bare, spanking her ass red, and then teaching her how a good girl thanks a man like me for his protection. But she was soaking wet and ready for me when I bent her over and took her exactly the way she needed to be taken. Because whether she likes it or not, she's always been mine. And she always will be.

A car crash. A fake story at the hospital. She warned me when I dragged her from the nightmare that was her life that she could very well destroy mine. I didn't listen. I didn't care. I brought her into my home. Into my life. Gave her a job. My Pandora. A goddess amongst mortals who opened a jar and obliterated my world with her beautiful evils. But from the moment I saw her, I knew she had to be mine. Consequences be damned.

Henry Gauthier: Bassist. My brother's best friend. And my first love. He's also the man I grew to hate after a one-night stand went horribly wrong. I've spent the last three years successfully dodging him. Now, fresh out of a bad relationship and living in a new city, I finally feel like I'm starting to get myself together. And when an opportunity to produce Wild Minds' newest album presents itself, I can't help but jump at the chance of a lifetime. Even if it comes with a caveat. Three weeks in Hawaii, an impossible to meet deadline, and Henry Gauthier.

There's definitely one thing she knows for sure . . . she loathes her best friend's older brother. And guess who's been back in town lately?

I was obsessed with the blue-eyed pixie from the second she jumped into my arms. Allegra. She clung to me and prayed for me to keep her safe, just for a little while. Allegra had just escaped from her degenerate uncle, and she had no idea she ran straight into a mafia enforcer. I've always been proud of my position within the Di Salvo family, but I'm not sure someone as sweet and innocent as Allegra will understand. For the first time, I wonder if my profession will keep me from the one thing I want most in life.

I haven't seen my old man in years, and I like it that way. Being the second in command of the Di Salvo crime family has kept me plenty busy, not to mention paid for my father's expensive in-home care after he spent his life searching for happiness in the bottom of a bottle. With the threat of war looming overhead, I don't have time to worry about my father's latest health scare. Until I hear her voice. Cambria.
