The Sterling Family

I don’t believe in happily ever afters—those belong in romance novels and my life’s been anything but a fairytale. Besides, I’m too busy running from my past to make time for love. A little sexy fun? That I can handle. Especially when it comes wrapped in a body like Remy Sterling’s—tattoos, tailored suits, and a smile that makes me forget my own name. He’s also my boss who co-owns The Back Door bar, and for some reason, he wants me.

She runs away from her wedding and straight into my arms. Samantha Dare. My best friend’s little sister. The woman I kissed once and never forgot. Before I can think twice, I’m hauling her away from the mess she left behind. She says she needs a few days to breathe, to get her head on straight—and she wants me to join her. How can I refuse? Except being alone with Samantha is the best kind of torture and every look, every laugh, every touch of her skin drags me closer to the line I swore I’d never cross. She’s chaos. I’m control. We shouldn’t work—yet I can’t stop wanting her.

Brandy Bloom plans to seduce the man of her dreams at an office Christmas party but finds herself kissing his twin, instead. One night only is her plan but Max Corbin has other ideas. The sexy elf who kissed him under the pretend mistletoe is a special woman he has no plans of letting go.

She kisses me under the fake mistletoe, thinking I’m someone else. She calls it a mistake—a mix-up she’d rather forget. I intend to prove otherwise, because one taste of Brandy Bloom and I know I’m in trouble. She’s all curves, sass, and Christmas sparkle—dressed like a sinfully sexy elf. I offer her one night, and she agrees. But I want more. I just met the woman of my dreams, and I crave everything she has to give—her easy laugh, the fire in her eyes, and the way she fits perfectly in my arms. She thinks one night has to be enough. But I disagree.

Fallon Sterling’s one experience with a rich, older man ended in heartbreak. So when twin nine-year-old girls wind up in her gallery, followed by their oh-so-hot dad, she refuses to notice how sexy he is. And she will not let herself fall for his broody charms. Or his adorable daughters. That was her plan. Unfortunately, planning hasn’t always been her strong suit.

When two runaway twin girls wander into my gallery, the last thing I expect is their brooding, bossy dad storming in after them. I’m struck by his sexy, good looks. I swoon at the way he scolds his naughty daughters, all protective yet tender. But I’ve been down this road before. Older man. Control issues. Heartbreak. Never again. Still, there’s something about Noah that pulls me in. He’s all seriousness and structure. I’m color and chaos. We shouldn’t work—but the chemistry between us could set the city on fire.

One night. That’s all I have time for. Running the family empire doesn’t leave room for distractions—especially the kind that look like Charlotte Kendall. All she wants is one night, too. Simple. No strings. Except I can’t get her out of my head. Then, weeks later, she shows up with news that flips my world—she’s pregnant. And for me, walking away isn’t an option. I’m all in—for her, for the baby, and for the family I never thought I’d have. But she doesn’t believe me and thinks I’m only here out of obligation.

Charlotte Kendall never expected history to repeat itself after a one-night stand at a wedding. Especially since a past encounter left her co-parenting twin daughters she adores. Except this time, her baby daddy is a man she can’t resist. Billionaire Jared Sterling always gets what he wants—and he wants Charlotte Kendall. When he learns she’s pregnant, he’s all in. But Charlotte’s past has taught this independent, single mom to guard her heart. She doubts Jared’s motives and believes he’s only invested for the baby.

She was my best friend and hooking up was a bad idea—but I let it happen anyway. Then I walked away like it meant nothing—biggest mistake of my life. Now I’m back in town, and avoiding Brooke Snyder is impossible. She’s in my office, in my head, and sleeping in the room next to mine. She’s not that sweet, shy girl anymore. She’s bold. Beautiful. Still a little hurt—and dangerous to my self-control.

Years ago, Brooke Snyder gave her heart—and her innocence—to Aiden Sterling, her best friend’s older brother. For one perfect night, he was hers. Then he walked away without looking back. Heartbroken, she focused on her career, and tried to move on, while he was half a world away. But no man ever measured up to Aiden, and the one time she tried, ended in disaster.

Leo Watson needs a fake girlfriend for his company’s Christmas party—and he asks me, the barista who makes his peppermint latte just right. I say yes … for a shot at an interview at his sister’s PR firm. It’s supposed to be simple: smile, flirt, pretend. But the second his hand finds mine, the lines blur. His looks linger. His touch burns. And I’m falling for a man I’m only supposed to fake a relationship with.

Leo Watson needs a pretend wife for a business Christmas party. Could the cute barista who serves his favorite coffee drink play the part? Camille Hendricks is willing…for a price—an interview at his sister’s PR company. The game seems easy but their attraction is all too real. When sexy lines are crossed, both Leo and Cammie stand to lose something more important than business. They risk losing each other.
