My life was never black and white. Heck, it wasn't even black, white and gray. Lines were not drawn between good and evil, and if they were, I would have jumped those suckers for fun. But now it was simpler. It wasn't black and white. Or gray. It was only one thing. Blood. A crimson-tinted world. That was all I needed. All I wanted. Him.

The Against All Odds series is a romantic comedy saga with lots of humor and some angst.

I can’t take the pining anymore, so I quit - on the same night we’re trapped in a storm at my family’s inn. It could have been awkward. But instead…maybe Will isn’t so clueless, after all....

All the friends he could ever ask for. But something was always missing. That is, until he receives a letter, telling him that he's a father to a 15-year-old boy.

Dive back into the sexy side of the Upper East Side with the second billionaire romance from USA Today best-selling author K. A. Linde. I finally have everything I ever wanted - fame and fortune and literary success. Only one problem: I lost my muse. He was tall, dark, and handsome. Broody, enigmatic, alluring, and right for me in every way. Until he wasn't. Until I lost everything. And I can't lose it all again. I'll do anything to keep it.

It began with one guy and then the next. Until my reputation preceded me. Yes, I dated them - all of them. Yes, I also broke up with them. All of them. My reputation was falling faster than a shooting star, and the only way to save it was with the boy who never wanted me. Zach Parker was a singer, songwriter, and sexy as sin. To him, I was just the neighbor's little sister. Zach Parker wanted nothing to do with me. But he could be tempted - with a stepping stone to fame, that is. The plan was simple: Childhood sweethearts fall in love on US tour.

Cash King rolls into Ryder, Texas, looking for TLC and an ego boost from the townspeople who call him their favorite son. But that ain’t happening. Which is just the cherry on top of the crap sundae that is his life. His football career is hanging by a thread. His mom isn’t speaking to him. And Tiger Lyons, the girl he did wrong in high school, is supervising the renovation of his new home and living in his pool house. How’s the league’s premier quarterback supposed to rehab and regain his starting position when the woman who still owns a piece of his heart is in his face 24/7?

Cara McCord had a new lease on life. After hearing the news that she was cancer free, the Texas beauty was ready to move forward and live life to the fullest...starting with losing her virginity. There was only one problem, though - the gorgeous blonde's heart beat for one cowboy alone, and he was someone she knew she could never have. Trace Briggs found the woman of his dreams when he was nine years old. For years he'd been forced to be a spectator on the sidelines of her life. But now circumstances had changed.

She was supposed to be a one-night stand. A way to sate my sexual appetite. I let her glimpse the man I am. The face that I hide behind my carefully cultivated life. But she ripped open that divide - and there's no going back. Now, she's here. In my city. I don't care that I'm Manhattan royalty and she's the help. Only that she's living in my summer home. With me. And I want more.

It was supposed to be a typical work trip. New York to San Francisco, window seat, exit row. Maybe a mimosa. Then, seat 14B sat down. When our eyes met, the flight became anything but routine. I could pinpoint the moments in my life where everything changed forever. Meeting Jared on that flight was first. Falling in love with him was second. Discovering the secrets he kept was third. Putting my broken self back together and forgetting what I learned would be difficult. Forgiving Jared would be impossible. He said, before me, nothing mattered. But after him, nothing would ever be the same.

He's the tattooed bad boy her mama warned her about. She's his hot mess - but mostly hot - next door neighbor. Until a two-night-stand gives them the surprise of a lifetime... Jillian Morris is a workaholic who forgets to watch the time. And to eat. And to change her shoes. And to keep even a house-plant alive. And to have any kind of a personal life. Now an eccentric millionaire has left her 16 million dollars. And eight penguins. Yes, real live penguins. She's a wildlife vet who specializes in penguins, so that makes sense. Kind of. She can, and does, keep penguins alive and well.

I have a long history of acting first and thinking it through later. In fact, I'm the definition of a screw up. Case in point - I’m having a baby with a woman I can’t stand, my ex is now my best friend’s wife, and I’m in love with a woman I can never have. My biggest secret is falling for my best friend’s sister 12 years ago. My biggest mistake is thinking I could live without her. And now my biggest regret is the look on her face the moment I tell everyone I’m already married to the woman they hate most.

Harmony Briggs always knew what she wanted - until she realized she wanted more. The gorgeous Southern beauty knew that only one man would be able to fulfill her wildest dreams and fantasies, but unfortunately, he was just out of reach.... Hudson Reed was used to playing by the rules and sticking to reality. And for the rippling cop, reality meant loving her from afar.... When it comes to love, she'll learn that the heart wants what it wants, and he'll learn there's more to her than meets the eye in Discovering Harmony.

Enter Wishing Well's wild heartthrob, Travis Briggs, who's more than happy to fill the role and so much more for Mia.

"I do." Two little words I've always wanted to say...you know, before I turned into a perpetually single, TV-dinner-eating party of one. I've swiped left, right, up, down. I'm over it! Now, I'm taking matters into my own manicured hands and changing the dating game with my guaranteed-to-set-a-date love app. The only thing standing in my way? Owen Decker. And his huge...ego. With his perfect hair, perfect teeth, and less-than-perfect proposal. Not the down-on-one-knee kind. Oh no. A business proposal to merge my dating app with the Hotline Hookup brand. What harm could it do?

It all started in Vegas. Now, I know what you're thinking.... What happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in the city of sin. Normally, I'd be inclined to agree. Until Lincoln Moore walks into my life. On paper, we mix as well as oil and water. He's confident. Commanding. Successful. Master of his universe. I'm a hot mess, barely holding on as I struggle to balance my job, finally finishing college, and keeping my mother sober. But when the lights go out, nothing else matters. Until I learn the truth of who Lincoln Moore actually is.

When our fate changed and our paths crossed again, nothing prepared me for the punch to the heart when I saw him...or his anger and bitterness. He was no longer the boy I once knew but a hardened Olympic swimmer with life goals that no longer aligned with mine. All because I lied. But sometimes, hiding the truth was necessary, especially when it freed someone you loved to reach their aspirations and dreams. It’s said that time heals all wounds, but I found was that it can also create an enemy.

He's off-limits...and we're breaking all the rules! I just landed my dream summer gig: working as a production assistant on TV's smash-hit reality show, Ever After. Two months of sun and fun at the beach? Sign me up! Until the moment I come face to face with this season's bachelor, racing's bad boy Dash - a.k.a., the mysterious hottie I just hooked up with at a creepy motel off the I-80. Can you say, awkward? Dash is sexy, charming-and totally off-limits. But the chemistry between us is way too hot to ignore. He's playing to win, and he's got his sights set on the prize: me!
