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.

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?

They meet by chance. The timing is wrong. Three years later, she finds him again, but their separation was poisoned with narcotics and bloodied by enslavement. Her freedom gambled away, Charlee Grosky escapes the international businessman who held her captive. But his power reaches beyond her protective barriers and threatens everyone she has come to love.

I can't escape my past. West wants to be my future. 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.

Multiple companies are vying for my new security software, but when the men of Pentabyte turn their attention on me, it seems they want more than just my code.

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

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. A two-headed bird with a Game of Thrones obsession, a party full of tea addicts, and a Cheshire Cat who could seduce the pants off her grandma? And if the citizens weren't bad enough, their prince was off his rocker. This wasn't your run of the mill Wonderland.

I wish someone would have warned me about my best friend Deacon Cross when we were nine...because nearly 16 years later, the only man I’ve forbidden myself to cross that line with still doesn’t understand my rules of friendship. Best friends aren’t supposed to kiss. They’re not supposed to dream of having insanely hot sex while working together either. And they’re definitely not supposed to keep secrets. And now I wish I had warned myself about this two days ago. Right before Deacon kissed me for the second time. And all of the rules changed....

At first he's a job that will rescue my dance company. But as he intrudes on my life, our hostile relationship evolves.

Wendy came to the Never Isles to get away from the stress of everyday life. To find adventure and maybe even a little bit of romance.

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

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?

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.

Until the one night that rocked his brittle, crumbling world on its axis. She told him what they shared was simply a distraction, a way to forget for a little while. It would've been, except the tiny glimpse of how it feels to live again gives him strength.
