After I whistle at four brawny construction workers, they show me just how good they are with their tools.

As a bartender in a tourist town, I get hit on a lot. I’ve heard all the lines, and it’s very rare that I take the bait.

You only live once, after all!

I was a hunted woman. Taken in by four mountain mercenaries. Accepting their help was a mistake. Why? Because mercenaries trust no one. They’re scarred and damaged men. And now they won’t let me go. I thought I was lucky to be alive. But now that I’m on Savage Mountain, I’m not so sure. Think life with four sexy, demanding hired killers is fun? Think again. This naughty, over-the-top romance includes four hulking mountain men with checkered pasts and doubtful futures, claiming the one woman they can’t live without.

So I split. Flew the coop. Got the hell out of dodge. I figured I could do better on my own. And how wrong I was. Why’d I do it? Because I’m stubborn. Spoiled. A pain in the ass. And I hate the mountains. Although the guys were nice. And hot. And sexy. That made it hard to leave. Well, so did their locking me in my room. Sharing a house with brawny mountain men? Let's just say it wasn't only my new hiking boots that got a good workout.

Just because she has fiery red hair doesn’t mean that Aubrey has the temperament to match it. Actually, it was quite the opposite, Aubrey was the shy one out of the group of friends. Maybe, it was the horrors she’d had to endure growing up or maybe it was because until she’d met her four best friends that summer long ago, she’d never felt a connection before.

A deal sealed with a handshake promised she’d be mine. A broken vow ripped her from my future. I made unspeakable sacrifices to claim what rightfully belongs to me. After all the blood I shed in her name, the bond that ties us is hatred. The war cost us both dearly, but the price we paid won’t be in vain. I’ll never let her go.

In my line of business, every day dawns with the smell of death in the air. But it’s not a bullet that’s going to slay me. It’s Sabella, the woman who was promised to me—the woman who betrayed me. We’re heading down a path of destruction, but there’s no turning back. At the first chance she gets, she’ll stab me in the back again. She’s a dangerous risk and a threat to my family. If I were wise, I’d eliminate that risk and leave her funeral to the sharks. I must be an idiot, because I’m going to finish what I started, no matter the cost.

It was only meant to be a short trip - up to Chicago for two days and then back to Texas. At least, that was the plan until a massive snowstorm leaves me trapped in Chicago at a local hotel with no definite timeframe of when I can go back home. If that wasn’t a crazy enough turn of events - I wake up to a beautiful princess standing in my hotel room. She was definitely a sight to behold, but she’s not the least bit thrilled to see me - think Momma Bear finding Goldilocks lying in her bed type of annoyance.

No matter how hard I try, I can’t escape him. No one can keep me safe. Every year on my birthday, he brings me a gift, each one having a detrimental effect on my life with unimaginable consequences. With every gift he offers, he claims another one of my firsts. Before I know it, he’s taken control of my existence, turning me into a nervous wreck, because when I turn 18, I know what first he’ll come for next.

It was only supposed to be for a few months, so where was the harm in going along with it? That is, until the fake engagement Landon and I came up with after a misunderstanding threw us both into the spotlight and threatened to destroy the lives we had both worked so hard for. Somewhere along the way, though, we realized everything had changed.

When I’m not a test pilot flying for the US Air Force, I can be found risking my life in other ways. You see...all these life-risking adventures are not just a hobby for me, not just a way to pass the time. I need the adrenaline rush like I need my next breath. I’m addicted to it. It’s the only thing that allows me to bury my painful past - even if only for as long as it takes for me to come down from the high. All that matters is that I’m able to forget. And every heart-stopping moment of it was working...at least, until she appeared back in my life.

I know she feels this electric current zinging between us, but she's put up walls so thick it's going to take a bulldozer to knock them down.

The moment he pulled her back from the brink, she became his. Not just his patient, but his obsession. She’s everything he’s ever wanted, and now that fate has placed her in his hands, he’s never letting go. She wants to keep her distance, but he’s not the kind of man to be denied. Her fears? He’ll soothe them. Her heart? He’ll claim it. Because she’s his, and nothing—not even her resistance—will stop him from making her see it.

I've always wanted to be a chef. But the same day two pink lines showed up on the test, was the day I gave up chasing my own dreams to put my daughter first. I didn't expect that to lead to a life of being scrutinized by my parents for every single move I made. After years of it, I was done. I caught the first flight to New York. I was already filled with nerves before we even took off until a stranger with an infectious smile, heartbreaker blue eyes, and a personality that can light up anyone's life, took the seat next to me.

When I’m chosen to star on the nation’s most popular reality dating show, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. Being selected to star on For Keeps is a dream come true. Beautiful clothes, luxurious locations, and men--lots and lots of men. Thirty, to be exact. And it’s my job to narrow thirty down to one. Easy, right?

She’s going to be his one way or another—even if he has to stalk her. When I opened the doors to my new club, I thought it would be business as usual. Crowds, chaos, and control—just how I like it.
