When I move back to my ex's small town, I want to avoid him at all costs. JD didn't just break my heart ten years ago. He ran it over, then backed over it again. So naturally, I end up as his physical therapist. And to rub salt in the wound, he finds out I'm living out of my car and demands I move into his spare room. Yeah, he's as bossy as ever. He still acts like he's allergic to laughter. But he also pampers me after a long night out, remembers my favorite lunch...and insists on making it for me when I forget to eat.

Returning to my small hometown after I crashed and burned in the city is bad enough. Having my lifelong rival, Wes Stryker, rub it in my face doesn't make it easier. Even worse, I'm hired to help him pull his family's distillery out of a rough patch. Oh, and I'm forced to be his roommate. That means dealing with his annoying flirting and one-upping all day, every day. He's unbearably cocky, and his dimpled smile charms everyone with a pulse—except for me.

My new neighbor, Waylon Stryker, is Jepsen's most eligible bachelor—gorgeous, built, and kindhearted. I stick out like an LA-shaped thumb in this small town after inheriting a dilapidated house and a tiny dog. But when I need my ex to back off and he needs his family to stop pressuring him to settle down, Waylon comes up with the perfect solution—a fake relationship. It would have been perfectly transactional if I hadn't drunkenly told him about my spicy bucket list. I prayed he'd forget about it. Instead, he vows to help me check off each task.

Sebastian Worthington is a thorn in my side…and yet I can't seem to stay away from him. After giving him a piece of mind, I thought that would be it, I'd never have to see him again. At least that was until I was assigned to be his legal counsel. Things get out of hand when he pretends I'm his fiancée, and before I know it, the time that we spend together has me falling in love with him. I know that when it ends, he'll be gone, because he promised me one rule...

“Big Country.” That name—my name—had Dodger Stadium shaking when I won the World Series. Now they’re talking suspension? Please. I’m a national legend. The pride of NOLA. But the only thing dragging my six-foot-four frame into my Creole restaurant is her…Journey. That woman’s a walking challenge—sharp tongue, soft smile, and eyes that promise trouble. One look from me and she fumbles that cool facade. One look from her and suddenly I’m reconsidering every rule I’ve ever followed.

I was done with internet matches and swiping left and right. The dating pool needed a lifeguard. But just when I decided that love wasn't in the cards for me, the boy I'd always had a crush on walked into my ER and flashed a smile that told me he wasn't letting me slip away. I just had to keep his sister's secret a little longer.

That doesn’t stop him from popping in and out of their lives with promises of getting clean. Anissa desperately wants to move on in her life, but her love for what once was is holding her back. However, attending a family barbeque with her son proves to be the restart she desperately needs.

I’m Natasha Resnova. The miracle child. The one who lived when doctors said I wouldn’t. The one who hides behind a camera instead of facing my violent bloodline. The Resnov bratva thrives on brutality. I survive in stillness. Until one photo puts me in the path of Lachlan MacKenzie—Dodger’s star batter and son of a Scottish crime boss. Lach sees me. The broken parts. The girl behind the blood-soaked legacy. Then he appears, and everything unravels.

I never wanted to be anyone's mated anything. I wanted to be in control of my destiny, not held down by the shackles of my biology. My father, unfortunately, had other plans. I was supposed to fall in line like my sisters, but I ran. The night of my mating ceremony I rejected my four Alphas and got as far away as I could. I gave up everything and walked away from my family and never looked back.

I’m not truly one of the devout, bonneted brides who traveled to my sister’s wedding in Scotland hoping to find a pious mate in her adopted kingdom pack. Honestly, I only signed up for the free plane ticket and a place to lay low until I could sneak off and start the academic life I’ve been secretly planning for years.

Layla Jackson isn't looking for marriage or her own happily ever after. At least, not at this point in her life. And especially not with notorious playboy and single dad, Seth Wakowski. He may be a baller on the court, but off—he's immature and the total opposite of the kind of guy she would ever want to be involved with.

She wanted to start again. To be someone--anyone--different . . . Freedom. When Carleigh Stanger thought of college, that was the word that came to mind. Freedom from her unhappy home life. Freedom from high school mistakes. Freedom from the memory of that terrible morning. Only instead of...

Camarih was baffled upon hearing Tony Wacko's deeply hidden and disconcerting secret. Feeling like she is unable to trust him with anyone anymore, she decides it's time to cut her losses as much as she can, and press on. Only hiccup is that Camarih must've forgotten that her newfound and now ex love isn't quite right up top. Packing up and starting anew won't be as easy as it was with her past relationships, because once the unhinged hood boy sets his sights on something, he never lets it go. 

I’ve always been the outcast in my cloistered Canadian village. So, after an especially humiliating rejection, I sign up for a Bridal Exchange trip to Scotland, a wolf kingdom desperate for she-wolf brides to reverse their zero birth population crisis. But even the threat of extinction isn't enough to make any of the Scottish Wolves want a 6-foot-tall, plus-sized she-wolf with a quirky whittling hobby.

The Jennings and Rockwell Mafia Families have been at war for six decades. Once a new leader takes the seat, he vows to end it, even if it means sacrificing the one thing he wanted to protect—his daughter. Storm is supposed to be the peace offering. Her soon-to-be husband? Jrue Jennings, a man so ruthless that they have no choice but to call him "Trouble." The contract is simple: No love, no loyalty, just business. But when the lines are blurred, not everyone is okay with a truce. She was supposed to be his arrangement, will she be his forever?

Tony Wacko and his beloved Camarih return for one more go-round of endless drama. Although the couple has proven time and time again that their bond is unbreakable and not to be toyed with, jealous old lovers, lovesick flings, and confident newcomers seem to have a hard time getting the message. Dating a man in an industry where women constantly throw themselves at him is hard for any woman to deal with. While most simply chalk it up to being just a part of the game, Camarih refuses to accept such, taking things into her own hands.
