Love Me Today by A.L. Jackson
A jaded single dad. A woman returning to her small-town roots. Neither was prepared for their paths to collide…
I should have known I was in trouble when I backed my old, beat-up truck into the shiny Range Rover.
The driver looked like a gorgeous fallen angel – one who’d been booted right out of paradise for being a giant prick.
Good thing I’ll never have to see him again.
Except when I show up for my new job to teach a little girl how to ride her horse, I find the same icy blue eyes glaring back at me.
Paisley Dae is completely reckless. She’s also the best trainer in this small town. And Evelyn gets the best.
Protecting the little girl is my one focus.
Only the sassy trainer in her cut-offs and cowgirl boots quickly gets under my skin. Distractions are dangerous, but she soon becomes everything I crave.
One reckless night of giving in, and Caleb and I spiral into a web of passion.
But when I begin to unravel the secrets hiding in this place, I find there is more riding on this job than I thought.
Caleb and Evelyn are worth any sacrifice – only Caleb has to decide what he will sacrifice for me…
Flaunt by Adriana Locke
Have you ever wanted to prove someone wrong so badly that you could taste it?
It doesn’t matter if they’re right. The fact that they had the audacity to go there is what counts.
Hi. It’s me. I’m that person.
The man I’ve been casually seeing told me I’m not “wife material” and I should “lower my expectations.” Didn’t he realize I lowered them the moment I met him for dinner?
Obviously not.
Am I petty? Maybe. Annoyed? Of course. Determined? Definitely.
I need someone to help me flaunt my new engagement—my fiancé couldn’t wait to pop the question because I’m that amazing—in his face.
The problem? I don’t have a boyfriend, let alone a husband-to-be.
Which brings us to you.
Are you handsome? Successful? A smooth talker extraordinaire?
Are you willing to do all the things that someone madly in love would do?
Putting your hand on the small of my back. Forehead kissing. Acting like I’m a treasure you can’t live without. I need you to be prepared to do all those things … and maybe more.
What do you get out of this? I’m willing to negotiate terms—especially if they include a job and a place to stay. It’s a long story.
One night. One event. Let’s put on one heck of a show.
Tempting Little Thief by Meagan Brandy
I fell for a man I’m not allowed to have.
He’s an outsider and in my world outsiders don’t belong.
They’re unwanted, unwelcome and known to disappear without a trace, yet he doesn’t seem to care.
After one night together, the tattooed tyrant keeps coming back, and causing trouble I can’t allow.
I should end this now before someone discovers his existence and does it for me, but he won’t allow it.
He says I’m his now, that nothing and no one will stand in his way.
Not even me…
But he has no idea what he’s getting himself into.
I’m the heiress to an underground empire.
He’s a nobody with nothing to his name.
We’re a match made in hell and if we’re caught together … we’ll both burn.

Monster without Cause by Lila Dubois
KEIRA
I woke up next to a monster. Literally.
As a Hollywood producer I thought I’d seen everything. Until I met Luke.
My company passed on his movie pitch—a convoluted story about how monsters are real—but Luke and I have instant chemistry.
I don’t expect this sweet, charming guy to be dominant and demanding in bed, but he is, and it’s the best night of my life.
The next morning…
LUKE
I’m exhausted. That’s my only excuse for falling asleep and forgetting to stay human.
The moment I saw Keira all I could think was “mine,” and though I messed up the dinner date, once I put my (human) hands on her I knew just what to do.
Even better, Keira wasn’t afraid when I got possessive and rough with her delectable body.
After a night of passion I fall asleep, and turn back into a monster.
Keira’s terrified…but not for long. She’s smarter and braver than anyone I’ve ever met. She and her friends agree to help us, but not everyone is ready to find out that monsters are real…

Gabriella Stone
Moving to LA was my dream since I was thirteen.
By the time I was twenty, I was sought out by some of the most beautiful people in the world to take their pictures.
No one cared that I came from a hockey dynasty.
Everything was perfect.
Then I met him.
It was supposed to be a one-time thing.
But it ended up being more. So much more.
Until he betrayed me.
Romeo Beckett
Growing up in LA, everyone knew I came from Hollywood royalty.
Following in my father’s legendary footsteps, I learned early on not to fall for the shallow shine of this city.
When I met her, I didn’t know she was what I’d been looking for.
In one night, I ruined everything.
She left without a second thought.
I’ve spent every day since becoming the man she deserves.
She thinks it’s over.
She’s wrong.
It’s time to win her back.
The Second Half by Rachel Blaufeld
She’s a Hollywood celebrity, starring on the big screen.
He’s an ordinary doctor, delivering babies.
They live in two different universes.
They absolutely don’t fit…until they must.
Willa “Billy” Conway is a superstar. An actress since she abandoned her family’s political aspirations for her, Billy is still relevant at forty and counting. Her work is her life partner and baby, but she secretly wants a family of her own.
Callum “Cal” Rand is a high-risk obstetrician. A doctor who outran a lousy childhood, Cal thrives on bringing happiness into others’ lives. He works hard but hasn’t found love for himself.
When Billy Conway walks into Dr. Rand’s office, neither expects sparks to ignite with the most unusual suspect—he’s her sister-in-law’s doctor, and she’s the star of his dreams.
Their lives don’t work together, yet they squeeze one another into a bicoastal affair.
It’s not working until biology forces it to—when Cal is called in for the most important patient of his career, he wants more than just the title of “Baby Daddy.”
Can Billy relinquish some control and learn to trust in the man who cares for her more than only as her physician?
Will this unlikely pair find their own happily ever after in the second half?
Good as Gold by Sarina Bowen
Leila:
What I meant to do: quietly divorce my lout of a husband and then have a child all on my own.
What happens instead: my crush comes back to town when I’m at my most vulnerable. After too many cocktails, I ask him to be my baby’s father.
In my defense, it’s been a rough couple of months. Seeing Matteo Rossi again after fourteen years has done a number on my emotions. And my libido.
In the morning, I’m hoping he’s forgotten the whole thing. But no such luck. In fact, Matteo has a few clarifying questions. And a few naughty ideas, too…
Matteo:
What I meant to do: visit Vermont for my brother’s wedding. Make amends to my family, and mourn the loss of a friend.
What happens instead: a hot affair with the one who got away. But it can’t last. My life is two thousand miles away, and Leila deserves everything. She’s as good as gold.
