I’m thinking it’s finally got to be my turn. I've got no man and no money. Nothing but a personality and a smile. But maybe that's enough this time. The richest guy in New York is looking for a secretary, and lucky for me, he’s young and as hot as sin. Too bad he’s an alpha asshole rich boy who’s stuck on himself. Nothing I do is right. Throw in a crazy ex and a father that can’t stand anything that breathes in his personal space, and I. Am. Out. He can find someone else to take notes and get his coffee. I’m fine being broke and single. I’ve gotten good at it.

I usually follow the rules, but with this girl in the office, it’s too easy to slip. The first time I see her, all I notice is perfection. Curves poured into a silhouette that threatens to choke me. A smile that could melt my cold heart. I hire her on the spot. After that, I call the shots in the office—and the bedroom. And all this time? I thought we were on the same page. Turns out she had ulterior motives. My past has caught up to me in the worst way. You see, my girl has been keeping a very big secret from me. He has my eyes and my attitude, and I never knew he existed. Now that I ...

Bethany had one more year of school left, and once again, poverty struck hard. The only option would be to encourage her mother to marry her new boyfriend Kent, a billionaire tycoon in the world of accounting. Mom is more than happy to move the wedding date up, and Bethany's soon-to-be-stepfather is willing to pay for her schooling - on one condition: she works for his firm as an intern throughout the next year. She agrees without hesitation, but little does she know that Kent's oldest son, Damon, is the CFO.

I’m in love with the wrong girl. Our fathers were arch enemies in business. Hate was the center of their wicked relationship. Not only that, but she’s my best friend’s little sister. The cards couldn’t be more stacked against us. One I’m counting on to hold steady. If I wasn’t married at 35, then this beautiful girl would become my bride. But her career is more important. I’m a billionaire, so I get it. There’s only so much a man can take, though. Best of luck to her in her journey. Fate isn’t so friendly, though. She’s carrying a secret. My baby.

Get married. Have a child. These are the only two rules to get my inheritance. Neither of which I want. My billionaire life doesn’t play well with either idea. But no one asked me. My father’s company is up for grabs, and whichever of my brothers makes it to the finish line first wins. In no time, I’ve found the perfect woman to play my fake fiancée, while I figure things out. Beautiful. Smart. Strong. Everything I crave in a relationship and more. But there’s a problem. She’s got a past I can’t ignore.

An unfortunate side effect of "taking a break" is the relief that Bethany didn't expect to feel. With her master's program having started, her teaching assistant job going well, and her workload at M&B, she's grateful to take one thing off her plate, but that relief doesn't last too long. A new woman has joined the firm, one of Damon's old flames. She's sugary sweet on the outside, but just below the surface lies a home-wrecker. One with her eye on a certain alpha billionaire.

We woke up the next morning with more than we bargained for - wedding rings. Too bad I don’t believe in true love. I’d feel bad about it, but she’s got a strong opinion of me too. I’m a perpetual bachelor from her perspective. Crazily enough, this could work out for both of us. I need someone to keep my traditional Greek family from nagging me about settling down, and she could use some cash for reasons she doesn’t want to share. I know a good deal when I see one. And if she wants to end up in my bed all over again, all the better.

Last I checked, love wasn’t on the menu. Who needs it. Expectations with a side of white picket fence? Pass. My wife is my career. I treat her well and reap the rewards. You don’t get to be a hotshot lawyer with my reputation with a ball and chain. It’s simple math. So is lending a hand to someone who needs it. Like my friend’s sister, who’s down on her luck and in need of a second chance. Lucky for her, I’m in a position to give it. And I’m down for other positions too… if she’s willing to try them. She’s temptation and I’m the sucker. There’s so much more to her ...

A four-day trip to Jamaica is exactly what everyone needs. Erica Hall, Kent's chief advertising officer, was invited to join the fun, and she has her eye on Matthew, Damon's timid younger brother. Come witness the start of their relationship and the igniting of a hot new romance.

Schools that routinely fail Black boys are not extraordinary. In fact, they are all-too ordinary. If we are to succeed in positively shifting outcomes for Black boys and young men, we must first change the way school is “done.” That’s where the eight in ten teachers who are White women fit in . . . and this urgently needed resource is made specifically for them as a way to help them understand, respect and connect with all of their students.

Never in a million years did I expect to fall in love. Let alone with her. My favorite childhood enemy. This girl used to make my blood boil just by walking in the room. Now she does other things to me with nothing more than a look. And it’s making me want more than the tense passion we keep doing nothing about. I’ll break down her walls and show her a side of me she’s never seen. One that will steal her breath and hold her heart hostage. It’s my first time to entertain the idea of forever, but she leaves me no choice.

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.

New York is auctioning off hot rich guys. The most eligible billionaire bachelors in the city have offered themselves up for an entire weekend away with some lucky girl. Brother. I’m far too broke to afford to play this game, but I’m not interested anyway.

As a photographer for the New York Post, Kari Martin was used to seeing heartache and scandal up close. But one night at the club, her whole world changed. Heartbroken and willing to call off her wedding, she decides a change is in order and moves from NYC to a small town in Maine, where the average age of the residents there is 60 (or thereabouts). She works to fit in perfectly, and tries like hell not to let anyone find out just how very jaded she's recently become over the lie called love.

The last time I saw my new colleague, she was on top of me. Literally. She’s my best friend’s sister. It might have been a hot onetime fling at his wedding. Maybe....

I’ve never walked down the aisle, but I get paid to stand beside it. Why, I’m a wedding planner is beyond me. Oh, yeah. I love the pretty dresses, the food, the glamour, and glitz. Getting dressed up and owning the night, though I always go home alone. It’s a weird setup. Being in business is all I’ve ever wanted, and yet, the one I chose depresses me beyond belief.

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. But he’s a big shot now, working for the billionaire owner of this company that’s offering me a shot. And the old man doesn’t have an heir, so my handsome first love is in line for the jackpot.

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.

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.
