Waking up in Bex's bed is a nightmare I'll never forget. Now she seems to pop up everywhere I turn. And the more I get to know her, the more I like her. How had I never noticed her before? She shoves off every attempt I make to get close, and I don't blame her. After all, I am kind of dating her cousin.

Pinch me because I must be dreaming! I can't believe I landed a gig as the interior designer for Seb Regis, the billionaire lawyer. He's like something out of a fairy tale—hotter than Hades, and those smoldering dark eyes . . . fans self. Sparks fly despite our fifteen-year age gap, yet Seb keeps his distance. His icy façade thaws as he begins to trust me. Revealing his tender side sends my heart into a dizzying free fall and makes me question everything I thought I knew about him.

It was supposed to be simple. One night with no strings. I had just gotten the worst news of my life and wanted to forget everything. The broody firefighter was perfect. Our night together was so hot, I forgot everything but the rules. I never expected to get pregnant. It was supposed to be impossible. All I knew was his name and the small town where I found him.

It all started when the curtains caught on fire at a funeral. Actually, it all started seven years ago in college. Rowan Cole was that guy—the one I couldn't forget. We'd once been best friends. Maybe more. We almost had it all. I've spent years trying to forget him and the tragic night that tore us apart. As bad luck would have it, he's the firefighter who shows up to rescue me from the church I almost set on fire. Speaking of flames and melting, Rowan still has the ability to set me on fire. Just by existing. 

Russell Dane thinks he's all that. Maybe he's so hot he should come with a too-hot-to-handle sign, but he drives me crazy. Not the good kind of crazy either. He thinks women shouldn't be firefighters, he's obnoxiously overprotective, and I can't stand him. Unfortunately, my body is not getting the memo, but I'm stronger than a few confused hormones. Right? It wouldn’t be so bad if we didn't have to work together. It definitely wouldn't be so bad if he hadn't gone and kissed me.

When construction worker turned firefighter Jeremy Grey is faced with the difficult decision to put his father in a facility due to his progressing Alzheimer's, he's left wondering if he made the right choice. When Raquel Hargrove steps into the picture as his father's caregiver, the attraction is there, but he has no time to even think about pursuing a relationship with the responsibility of his father's health in his hands.

When former foster kid and perpetual misfit Hazel Grey left Grapevine to follow her dream of studying law at Harvard, it felt like the right thing to do. Even though it meant turning down the proposal of the only guy she ever loved. Aiden Jackson has never forgotten the only girl that took him seriously instead of just treating him like a dumb jock, the one who stayed by his side the night his mother died to help him through his grief.

The toll of fighting fires day in and day out leaves Leslie Haddon emotionally drained, exhausted, and burnt out. She needs a big change, fast, or she won't survive another year. After losing his wife, the only thing going right for Noah Mills is his career as an English professor. He's given up on failed dates and lonely nights swiping left. None of the women he's met have the depth and complexity he craves.

The whole mess starts when I get dumped at the airport. Dylan is my brother's best friend, and the last guy I want to run into when my pride's been kicked. But I need a plan and fast. One bad decision leads to the next and we're trapped in a hotel for a romantic holiday weekend when we get snowed in. For days. It's cold. Dylan is H-O-T. It's a game of willpower and I'm losing.

It all started when my cat needed something expressed. Do I have to explain? That's when Farrah Taylor walked into my life, a fantasy spun true. Aside from stealing my breath, she handled the awkward situation with aplomb. Turns out she's my neighbor, and my grumpy cat has a crush on her. He's not the only one. Neighbors with benefits is the perfect option. I don't have time for romance. Until I want more. Until just being neighbors isn't enough.

Romance is on my never-again bucket list. I'm moving back to Alaska with plans to turn into a grand old cat lady. There is no cat on the horizon. Rather, a sweet rescue dog. And, Wes. Wes was quiet and smart in high school. Now a hotshot firefighter, he comes complete with melting powers. A few fantasies never hurt. Until our lives get waaaay more entangled than I ever expected.
