I’m used to being alone, until she changed everything... When my ex-wife left, she said the cruelest words she could think of, and I took them all to heart. Now I work at my loveable cousin’s tattoo parlor and keep most people at arm’s length. I have the occasional one night stand to take the edge off, but there can never be anything more than that for me. I don’t let myself think about how lonely I am. At least I’m not ruining anyone’s life, right? Then Emily walks into Wishbone Tattoos, asking about the receptionist job.

Girl meets a handsome stranger, gets swept off her feet, and has the best night of her life. Sounds like a dream, right? If only... When I wake up the next morning in a stunning penthouse overlooking the Seattle waterfront to a note saying, “have a safe flight back to Chicago,” his message is loud and clear: One and done. Famous last words. Guess who’s waiting to greet me on the first day at my new job? It turns out the mega-rich Asher Kingcaid is far from one and done.

All of this is fake. The expensive dates, the luxury vacations, the smoldering kisses… No way am I catching feelings for my fake, billionaire boyfriend. Nope... No way. --♥-- Five years. That’s how much time I wasted tied down to my narcissistic, cheating ex. When my brother asks me to help launch his new tech company, I jump at the chance for a fresh start. Forget men.

Apparently, ...

I'm Mila Banks, the ultimate jinx. Not just in theory—I've got a track record. Seven weddings, seven disasters. Everything from a groom with a concussion to an attack of red ants (a long story) has happened because of me. So, when my bestie, Nadia, insists on making me her maid of honor, I can't help but try to find a way out of it. To make matters more complicated, my boss, Grayson Manning, is going to be the best man. Did I mention I'm head over heels for him?

I'm done playing by my father's rules. Lex Edwards may rule the business world, but he no longer controls me. We did, however, come to one agreement—I'm allowed to take a gap year before college to travel through Europe. But, one year to the day, I must return home. On my travels, I met April. She's like me—escaping life back home until we're both forced to go back. April offers me a place to stay, and since I'm broke and in dire need of a job, I'll take anything over going back to my controlling father. That's when I'm offered an opportunity I can't possibly refuse.

Business and Pleasure shouldn't mix. Yet, that's exactly what I'm contemplating after Seattle's most eligible bachelor strolled into the diner where I work and made me an offer I'm having a hard time refusing. Beckett Anderson has the looks and money to get the attention of any woman, and yet he wants me to be the one at his beck and call. If I accept, I'm to be his assistant in and out of the boardroom. In exchange, I'd finally have a chance to use my college degree and escape the cycle of poverty I've known my entire life.

I walk into the most important meeting of my life—the one that's going to make or break my career—and he's here. The sexy charmer I met in the hailstorm outside. The guy so temptingly tasty I forgot myself, forgot I didn't do things like that, and asked him out. The worst part? He turned me down. And now he's here in my meeting. He's not charming. He's cranked off. Because of me. Well, guess what? It's not the first time I've made a tech bro cranky. Just because I wear skirts doesn't mean I'm going to let them think I'm any less of a programmer than they are.

South Florida is treating Travis Fulbrook (44) well: he has a beautiful wife with a great sense of humor (Anna, 40) and a satisfying job. He plays Texas hold ’em with the other guys in his neighborhood and sometimes even wins. He has a younger colleague (Rob, 23) with enough DIY experience to help him out with home improvements on the weekends. Perhaps best of all: his lanai is alligator-free! (Though he can’t say the same for his neighbors', the Harrisons). But when Travis stumbles upon Anna’s candid posts on a “dead bedrooms” forum, he’s shocked to discover that his wife is ...

Wedding planner Odette Chambers has a knack for ruining every ceremony she touches. But her latest gig could be a curse breaker. The bride is her best friend, Izzy, and the venue is a local cidery with the Pacific Northwest mountains as a beautiful backdrop. The cidery’s only rotten apple is its owner, former NHL player Noah Stevens—Izzy’s older brother and a recently divorced, fully committed grump who doesn’t believe in happy endings.

It was pushing midnight at the bar, and I was looking to make a mistake. Then he walked in. Lexa Lewis turns to a one-night stand to blow off some steam after losing her job. Casimiro is the perfect man for the task: tall, handsome, and smiling like he knows exactly what Lexa’s thinking. By the time she follows him to the bathroom, neither of them need to say a word to know what the other wants. If only the affair ended there. Never expecting to see him again, Lexa is shocked when Casimiro and his team of safety auditors show up at Blackrock Energy, the site of her new job. And when her ...

“Try me.” That’s what Drake Bennett said when I declared on my live podcast that no man could make me fall in love.

Drake says it’s a feeling—a magical, uncontrollable, world-shifting experience.

He runs an empire built on blood and silence. I’m no one. That should have kept me safe. Then Francisco Corello looks at me with something in his eyes. Not desire. Decision. His attention is quiet. Absolute. No one touches me after that. No one dares. He doesn’t threaten. Doesn’t explain. He simply claims. I should run when I learn what he is. A mafia Don who answers to no one and apologizes for nothing. Instead, I lean closer to him. Into the danger. The control. The way the entire room holds its breath when he walks in. Once a man like Francisco Corello gets hold of you, he ...
