I had no choice but to disappear that night. It ripped my frickin' heart out. Now I'm moving my headquarters to Boulder with one objective: Win Mandy back. Damn, this is going to be hard. She's feisty and sassy and doesn't obey my orders. She wears short skirts on purpose—just to drive me wild. My dark past is following me. This fake engagement will keep her safe. But I'll show her how real my love is.

I know I shouldn't want the girl next door. It's not fitting for a single dad or a fertility doctor of my reputation. Plus, I need a nanny… last minute. She's the only one who can help me out. When I finally work up the nerve to ask her, she's out on the driveway arguing with her parents. Something about her having a fiancé? Damn…But then they're all looking at me. And I'm suddenly accidentally fake engaged!?! So I'll play her fiancé.

Make a good first impression, they say, especially when you're desperate for work. How about when you walk into the interview for executive assistant at the Colchester Mountain Resort, and you come face to face with the ridiculously gorgeous, infuriating brute you just accidentally knocked over on the slopes? I should have walked out the second he called me Blunder Bunny. I shouldn't have stared at his muscles underneath his impeccable suit. And I definitely should have run the moment he made me almost beg for the job.

I spent the night with a complete stranger. Now, he thinks I'm a puck bunny. So, imagine my shame when I find out he's my new boss and I'm moving into his guest house… as his son's nanny. Okay, just because Atlanta Fire's star center knows how to handle his stick doesn't mean I'm going to let him out of the penalty box. Sebastian Blue is a walking mistake in a hockey jersey. Sinful smirk? You bet. Dedicated single dad? Of course. Relationship phobic? Just my luck. But he's eager to become my knight in shining skates…

Good girls don't beg to be shared. But I wanted all of them. Now I'm triple pucked with a scandalous secret I can't hide. It started when I sang at a sports bar and my jealous ex left his mark of disapproval around my wrist. But my hockey heroes came to my rescue—with a shocking proposal that...

He's nearly twice my age. My dad's best friend. And our scandalous hookup leaves me with a secret I can never tell. Ethan Savage was my forbidden crush. All salt-and-pepper, custom suits, and a bossy, dirty mouth. The man who watched me grow up… then bent me over the bathroom sink at a bar and...

What's worse than being single at your high school reunion? Accidentally blurting out you're engaged… to your hot best friend! My bakery just burned down. My dress is too tight. Oh, and the mean girls? Still as nasty as ever. So I try to put on a brave face when in walks Julian. All custom suit and sin, looking like every fantasy I've ever had. Panicking, I grab my billionaire best friend and do something insane: I announce we're getting married!

My ex hated my curves. But his silver fox dad? He loved every inch of them. All. Night. Long. I went on vacation to forget my toxic breakup. And I ended up in the bed of a ridiculously hot older man. Dominant. Sinful. And insanely good with those experienced, surgeon's hands. It was one wild, nameless night… Then sunrise hit… and so did the shocking truth: I'd just slept with my ex's father. Yeah… so I ran. Fast forward to me, pregnant with twins, standing in his ER, mid-contraction. "Ella?" he says, eyes wide. Oh, Doctor. If you think you're shocked now, wait until you see your babies.

I need a bride, and Cinderella is perfect to play the part… The beauty crashed my friend's wedding, called me a beast… and ran. But I always find what I want. And I want her. Turns out she's my mentor's daughter. Her curves are so off-limits! So to keep her close, I give her a job. And make her an offer she can't refuse. All she needs to do is parade on my arm as my fake fiancée. And I get to be CEO. Playing pretend? Easy AF. Playing by the rules? Hard as hell.

I'm a matchmaker for New York's elite. But my own love life is a complete disaster. I go on a blind date, expecting to meet a stranger. But instead, I'm locking eyes with Adrian Stone—my dad's best friend. The silver fox single dad I've fantasized about for years. We're both hiding behind fake names. Is he pretending not to recognize me, too? Either way, I play along. And that night, I did something I shouldn't have. Several times—if you know what I mean. He doesn't ever have to find out who I really am, right? Wrong.

Luke Smith only takes one thing in life seriously: Hockey. He thinks every problem can be solved with a grin. And those big brown puppy-dog eyes? His get-out-of-jail-free card. But not this last time… and now it's my job to fix his reputation before he gets traded. To keep the puck bunnies away, I agree to fake date him. A complete puck-up. Because when we're alone, late at night, and his lips brush against my ear, he's got me breaking all my rules.

It was a bad idea from the start. A wild night with a bad boy in a suit. And now, a bun in the oven to prove it. The green-eyed swoonboat took me to heaven and hell—all in the same night. Now, I'm a struggling single mom with new curves and a new job. I never thought I'd see him again. Until today… My heart races. The smirk on his lips reminds me of that night when he kissed me all over. I anxiously try to stay out of sight. But I can't avoid my new boss forever. "Mr. Pearson wants to see you in his office now."

He's my scorching hot boss, old enough to be my father. Problem is—I'm saving myself for marriage... So what do I do? I accidentally marry him. That night, he took me to heights of earth-shattering pleasure I never imagined. But as the champagne buzz fades, we're hit with the gut-wrenching realization of our epic mistake. Two opposites with no future, right? So I thought.

Hidden behind a mask at a charity ball, I let an unknown older man have me. He left me with more than just breathless memories—a secret I can never tell. Five years later, I'm a single mom, writing a piece on Atlanta Fire's legendary coach. He's a silver fox. Tempting, commanding, intent on...

I ran from the altar only to land in the arms… ahem… bed of my ridiculously hot ex. Now he's a crazy rich single dad, and the reason for my baby bump. That night, I entered the bar looking like a runaway bride cliché with only five bucks stuffed in my bra. "You look like you need a drink," Oliver says in a voice deeper and huskier than I remember. A few shots later, and all I want is his body driving me wild like only he can. The next morning, as the haze lifts, I remember the shocking reason we broke up all those years ago and why it could never work between us.
