I don't believe in commitment. I believe in freedom. Fun. The next flight, the next party, the next gorgeous woman who doesn't ask for forever. So, when my father drops his favorite ultimatum—get married, have a child, and prove I'm worthy of the Westwood empire—I handle it my way. With an...

The Santas are striking, and it’s costing me my job. Good thing I’m marketable, even to the wrong guy. My best friend’s twin from high school is in need of someone with my talents to pull off the big opening at his ski resort in Vail. The handsome playboy with more one-night stands than the local motel happens to be my childhood sweetheart. In his mind, I’m the one that got away. Right, buddy. If I recall it right, it was him that ran like his ass was on fire while I nursed a broken heart.

I came to Texas for business, not to fall for a stubborn, boot-wearing, way-too-handsome cowboy. Running a billion-dollar marketing firm is my thing. Getting caught up in a country-boy fantasy? I did not see that one coming. But when my dad hands me our biggest client- a grumpy, old-school...

I don't believe in happily ever after. I believe in strategy. Leverage. Control. So when my father lays down his favorite ultimatum—get married, have a child, and prove I'm worthy of the Westwood legacy—I already know how to win. I go back to the one girl I never got over. Red hair. Smart mouth. Big heart. And a body I've explored in my dreams for years. She shattered me years ago—and now runs herself ragged rescuing stray dogs instead of running in the billionaire circles she was born into. She needs funding for her foundations. I need a wife on paper. A deal between us makes perfect sense.

My life couldn’t get any more ridiculous. A few days ago, my son’s teacher wanted to berate me on my parenting style. I politely told her to f--k off, in so many words. And now? She’s sitting across the table from me at my first blind date in years. You can’t make this s--t up. Nothing has been easy since my wife left me and Hunter years ago. And yet, we persevered. He’s my whole world, and the last thing I have time for is a woman.

My billionaire family calls me back to New York. Time to take over the charitable foundation we have. There’s a lot of money behind the family name, and I want my cut. My own pleasure can take a back seat, or so I thought. Even though she’s totally against working for “the man”, my new hire joins the foundation, and the electricity between us could light up the night sky. Never in my life has someone taken my attention like this woman has. Not sure how the media would feel about the most charitable guy in New York spending his time with a bleeding heart like my girl.

All I’ve ever wanted to do was write good music and sing my heart out, but my father expects different from his eldest son. No matter how hard I try, I can't please him and be who I really am. But everything changed the night a hot little city girl showed up at our local bar. Her skirt was tight, and her heels were high, but she was classy - a business woman. A talent agent.

How in the world can someone tell a million romance tales and not have love? But then, like in chapter 20 in a good book, it happens. She walks up while I’m deep in thought and bam! It was a dimly lit bar and a rainy night. As soon as I laid eyes on her, a muse formed in my mind, and I had to talk to her. What? I’m a romance writer. Cut me some slack! Little did I know, though I should have, she rocked my world in ways I couldn’t create on paper or otherwise. She’d been with a lot of Mr. Wrongs, but maybe, just maybe, it was time for her to find Mr. Write.

He’s moody, stubborn, and quite possibly the hottest guy I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen quite a few, but this one...I’ve been watching him since freshman year of college. Word on the street is that he thinks women are too needy, too catty, and overall pains in the butt. He’s about to meet his match.

Lisa Parks has been successful at everything she touches, her confidence her calling card. A recent move to Maine from New York is just the change of atmosphere she needs for a fresh start. With far too many mistakes in her past, her eyes remain focused on loving and leaving, her actions justified by far too many cracks in her damaged heart.

A woman in the business of love that’s never been in a real relationship. Check. That’s me. Nessa Night. Now I know what you’re thinking. That sounds like a stripper name. Hold up. Let me explain. It’s my radio talk-show name. My incognito way of helping the world love deeper and more often. Though my love life is like a 10-year-old fall leaf trapped between the pages of an old journal.

The lake might be cold, but this thing between us is white hot. My best friend’s little sister. You know, the one that’s off limits. And she has been since we were kids. But that ain’t saying I wasn’t looking. She’s all grown up now and hotter than sin.

Love will find you when you least expect it. I can’t count how many times people have said those words to me, but I’ve never believed them. Maybe that’s because I found love once and it broke me when I lost it. I watched my best friend fall in love with a cowboy last year.

My ex-love affair just showed up again, now as my boss. He’s the last person I want in my life. Namely because I’ve been hiding a secret from him. My kiddo. His kiddo. Ours. This possessive alpha male is impossible to pleasure and hot as sin. Being a billionaire, he decided to buy up the tax firm I’m at the top of the ladder with. So now I answer to him. And of course, he’s cocky enough to make immediate changes during our busiest time of the year.

I don't believe in love stories. I believe in keeping my back to the wall and my emotions locked down tight. I built my name on discipline—on being the Westwood who never lets anyone close enough to matter. Which is precisely why I can't stand her. She walks into a room like she owns it and...

I don't believe in fate. I believe in land. Legacy. And protecting what's mine. I'm a billionaire rancher with dirt on my boots, a sharp tongue, and no patience for men who think power gives them ownership. She's brilliant. Unyielding. All polished control—until you look close enough to see...

I don't believe in waiting my turn. I believe in taking what I want—and proving I deserve it. I'm the youngest son. The Westwood family's golden boy. Charming enough to get away with anything… except being taken seriously. When I meet her—the brilliant, beautiful daughter of my mother's...

Want the most romantic honeymoon experience you can get? I’m your gal. Unfortunately, it isn’t by experience that I know these things. Love doesn’t come easily to an overworked type-A planner who manages romance at the most luxurious resort in the Virgin Islands. I have far too many boxes to check to be checking out anything but forms, schedules, and rose petals. For the longest time, my career has been my ultimate dream and filled me up. Love was for others who needed a partner in life to get by, but not me. Until a class-A hottie shows up and knocks me off my feet—literally.

A major cosmetics company is looking for America’s next sweetheart to be their perfume cover girl, and honey, that just ain’t me. Or I didn’t think it was. My brother offered me a chunk of change to behave in our family-owned restaurant for one day, and that’s the day handsome walked back into my life. My brother’s best friend from school.
