I swore I'd never touch Lainey Daniels. She's my son's ex and too sweet for a man like me. I try my best to resist her, but one night, I give in. I take her to my cabin in the mountains to keep her safe. Now, she's mine, whether she's ready for it or not. I expect her to run, to hate me for the filthy things I want to do to her, but she doesn't. She meets my darkness with a blaze of her own. And I'll burn the whole world down before I lose her.

Her ring belongs to the most dangerous man in town... but her heart belongs to a mountain man who's ready to fight for her…

Callum Walker is a crazy grump. Okay, fine. He’s a hot, crazy grump. Still. He’s known me for less than a day. And now he’s showing up at my job saying that I’m the one. Like I said. Crazy. But there’s something else about him too. Something protective in the way he looks at me. And when he sees me on one of the worst days of my life He doesn’t even flinch. He just tosses me over his shoulder and says “you’re mine.”

I've always known Charlotte was off-limits. She's my best friend's daughter. The one woman I can't have. But when I find her stranded in a storm, I can't stop myself. One night together, and I break every rule. I said it wouldn't happen again. I lied. I'll do whatever it takes to make her mine. And no one, not even her dad, is going to stop me.

All I want for Christmas is for Isabella Marshall to fall in love with me. Too bad I've been a jerk to her since we were kids. And now she can't stand me. In Isabella’s defense, this whole thing is my fault. She and I have been sworn enemies since grade school. And I haven’t exactly made things easy for her since we’ve been managing my family’s café together. But what she doesn’t know is that I’ve been secretly in love with her this whole time. Not that I plan on telling her. We’ve been fighting for so long there's no way I can unring that bell.

He’s grumpy. He’s bossy. He hates my freaking guts. So why do I get the feeling… That he secretly wants to kiss me? Carter Walker is the worst boss in history. Okay fine. He’s the worst hot boss in history. Still. It’s not like it matters or anything. The man hates my guts. I mean, he has to. Why else would he walk around glaring at me all the time? And demand I spend the day shopping with him? Yeah, he’s definitely doing it just to torture me. It’s probably nothing. Except now he’s telling me that my curves are beautiful.

All I want for Christmas is for Luke Scott to fall in love with me. Too bad he’s a pro baseball player. And my best friend. To be fair, it’s my own fault that I’m in this situation. Cooper Hills is a small town. And growing up, I was always that girl. You know, the one who guys think of like their little sister–and nothing more. But this Christmas, all of that’s about to change. I’m going to go out on a few dates and have some fun. What’s weird though is that when I tell Luke about my plan, he doesn’t seem happy for me. He gets possessive. And growly.

Most guys ghost me when they find out I'm a single mom. Everyone, except Austin. Dating in a small town sucks. Like really sucks. Especially when your past is filled with drama like mine. I don't have time for any of that. I have my son to look after. That's why I took this job at Fit Mountain Construction. As the company's new receptionist, I can just go to work and come home. The last thing I need is to fall in love with my coworker, Austin. Unfortunately, Austin is a hot mountain man. Hot mountain men are my weakness. And Austin? Well, he’s hot, and sweet, and there for me when I need him.

Cody Walker is a cocky grump. Okay, fine. He’s a hot cocky grump. But still. I don’t have time for his teasing or his jokes. I’m a woman on a mission. And I’m not about to let anyone stand in my way. Especially not him. Besides, guys who look like Cody don’t go for curvy girls like me. Right? I mean yeah, he did sort of save my life. And he was really sweet when I basically fell apart in his arms.

Colt Walker is a charming grump. Okay fine. He’s a hot, charming grump. I’ll give him that. Even though me being stuck out here alone is my own fault. He doesn’t make me feel bad about it. Or ask me my why I’m trying to avoid my stepsister’s wedding. He just scoops me into his arms and carries me off into the woods. Back to his cabin. Where he lives. I’m not normally like this.

All I want for Christmas is for Lily Hopkins to fall in love with me. Too bad she’s my daughter’s nanny… and completely off-limits. The first rule of being a single dad is this: don't fall for the nanny. There's just one problem. I'm hopelessly in love with my daughter's nanny, Lily. She's everything I want in a woman—smart, funny, kind. And her gorgeous curves make my mouth water. But Lily works for me, and taking things further would be crossing a line. Not to mention that I'm ten years older than her. As a firefighter, I'm all about playing it safe and following the rules.

All I want for Christmas is to see Boone Pierce again. Too bad he's been deployed overseas and we haven't spoken in years... Three years ago, I met a handsome Marine named Boone at my brother's wedding. We shared a stolen kiss, but that was all. As a single mom and widow, I just wasn't ready to open up my heart again. So we both went our separate ways... or so I thought. Boone has just moved from Texas to my small town of Fit Mountain, Wyoming, to start a mechanic shop. To say I'm shocked would be an understatement. And the surprises don't stop there.
