One look and I knew Cole was mine. My dark rebel in leather. My powerhouse of passion, devastating smiles, and impulsiveness. When his job sends him overseas, he promises to return to me. A promise that's destroyed in the most irrevocable way. Two years later an arrogant suit invades my heartbroken loneliness. Clean-cut and stern, Trace is everything Cole wasn't. At first he's a job that will rescue my dance company. But as he intrudes on my life, our hostile relationship evolves.

I never stopped loving Cole. Not when he left me. Not when he disappeared for three years. Not when he crashed back into my life in a violent explosion of testosterone and fury. His sudden reappearance questions everything I thought I knew, including how I came to love another man.

A sexy, romantic comedy.

When West, a former SEAL and my online gaming buddy, begged me to meet him IRL (in real life), one word, one touch, one look sent me fleeing like a coward. Back to my keyboard, online gaming, and the deadline that could make or break my whole programming career. Back where I'm safe. Problem is, West followed.

The illegitimate son of a Texas ranching dynasty, Ridge Lockhart left home 10 years ago with one goal: to become more successful than the father who never accepted him. Mission accomplished, but now he's back at the Silver Feather Ranch for a wedding - three days of best man duty until he can hightail it out. Then he spies Kaia Alzate, and suddenly leaving isn't quite so appealing.

Three means war. Three sides vying for forever. Cole. My first love. The bad boy with the dangerous smile and passionate temper draws attention like a lit fuse on dynamite. But his dark molten eyes spark only for me. Trace. My second chance. Over six feet of Norse god in a tailored suit, he calculates every move and seizes my hungry breaths with an iron fist. Me. The free-spirited dancer, torn between two men with no resolution in sight. I tried leaving, staying, refusing, and surrendering. What options do I have left?

Dylan Thomas has spent the past decade living in the shadows, mourning the loss of his wife, his best friend, his very reason for breathing. He long ago accepted that he would never feel again, that he was damned to a world without light, without hope. That was the day the bottle won, and he gave himself over to the darkness.

Do I dare to mix business with pleasure when the stakes are this high? 

I'm driven by a force greater than me. Music is in my blood. I don't sing, write songs, or perform in order to get laid. So, I really wasn't into this contest. It's one lucky fan and me plus dinner. I'm not looking forward it. But then, there she is, Paige Miller.... Biting her lip like she wants to run. A wounded bird in nude heels and a purple dress. Problem is my cousin, Ben, saw this beauty first. Never had a woman come between any of us before. Is this the first feud of the Cocker family?

They call me Anvil. It's not my real name, but that's what it feels like when my meaty fist comes down on you if you misbehave in the road house where I work. I've seen some crazy stuff as a bouncer. I thought I'd seen it all. But I've never seen anything like her. Just one look and I knew my life was never going to be the same. She's sweet, innocent, and looking for trouble. She found it. I'm big and mean and more trouble than she ever imagined. I'm going to mess up all her carefully laid plans. And I'm going to make her mine.

Alice was wrong. Wonderland wasn't so wonderful after all. Kat never expected to be back in her hometown, but when house sitting turns into a mad rabbit chase, Kat finds herself with a whole new set of problems.

Five seconds. A deafening blast. Pain. Silence. That was all it took for an IED to end my life as I knew it.
