He faces a very enthusiastic gang of environmentalists protecting puffins. And one of those protesters is awfully cute. Jesse came to Castle Harbor to open the puffin refuge and never left. He’s willing to risk everything for his beloved wildlife habitats. Though he’s well-acquainted with wild beauty, he’s not expecting the habitat’s enemy to be so handsome.

He’s arrogant, infuriating, and sexy as hell. I knew Rian would be trouble the minute I met his dark, smoldering eyes. A whistleblower on a major pharmaceutical company, they will stop at nothing to silence him. But his rebellious disregard of my authority will get him killed. If only I can stop thinking of other uses for his smart mouth, and focus on the job. Can we stop fighting long enough to win this fight? Or maybe I should just move the battle to the bedroom, and tame the shrew.

Whitt may have it all, but he’s missing one important detail - someone special. Too bad his current status makes it awkward to find someone who really understands him. Yet when his prospective employee interviews, he can’t take his eyes off of him.

An honorable security guard. A former reality star with a close following. A secret that could destroy them both. Logan is the black sheep of his family, though he runs a very successful security business. He just can’t seem to impress anyone. Maybe that’s why he lost his ex-boyfriend in the first place. It’s hard for him to imagine anyone hooking up with the mall cop.

Andreas betrayed me once, and I walked away. Now he’s returned, asking me for protection from a stalker. I have to throttle anger, restrain lust - just focus on the job. But he’s not just a job. He’s the man I refuse to let get away a second time. If I have to guard him with my body, then in return I want his soul. We were friends then enemies, but now I must try and forgive past sins.

Clyde has been living rough since he was 14. He’s a troublemaker, a hustler, and a small-time hoodlum; and until a normal life comes around, he’s running with the Rapps. Clyde’s mother is in prison, and when her situation takes a dangerous turn, Clyde’s new mission isn’t knocking over gas stations for quick cash; it’s focused on a much bigger payout. Luckily for him, he has support from an unexpected source. But that support comes with an unspoken price - his heart.

This handsome, charming young man is presenting me with my own technology. It may be outdated, yes, but it's still what my R&D department is getting ready to release. How does he know? I have to get closer to him, learn his secrets, and find some way to destroy him before he does the same to me. Yet when I look into his eyes, I get a feeling that I haven't had in so many years. Can I really ruin him for what might be coincidence?

Save my inheritance or follow my heart? My Internet-order husband is the key to both. Unless he succumbs to the schemes of our enemies. I didn’t realize I loved Nolan until he betrayed me and left. I won’t accept his resignation from my company - I’ll track him down and make him mine. Even if the marriage of convenience that will save my family estate is on the line. Fate must be laughing at me, though. I discover Nolan is the answer to both my dilemmas. I refuse to relinquish what is mine - even though an enemy is whispering in Nolan’s ear, sabotaging my plans.

Why didn't my best friend ever tell me he was royalty? I don't think it would have changed anything, but wow! And wow! He's in debt up to his eyeballs to a bunch of very bad people. His brother seems like a good guy, though. Smart, fun, and incredibly good-looking. Is it out of bounds to have a crush on your buddy's brother? I don't know, but I'm going to find out.

So here I am, about to ask my buddy Leo if he'll pretend to be my spouse for a few weeks until Mom buzzes off. My mother, the matchmaker...I just never thought she'd turn that gaze on me. Thank God he needs the money, or else... well, no "or else". Leo's a great guy. He'd do this for me, money or not. I know he would. It's the whole reason I'm asking him and not some random guy off the street. There's definitely no other reason.
