The grumpiest man in this small town is the father of my baby. It’s not breaking and entering if the door’s unlocked, is it? I mean, I did knock. My brothers are on their way to Samuel Oakley’s house to syrup and glitter bomb him. I need to warn the man. When Sam races into his office, rifle in hand, naked and dripping wet, I realize my mistake. But I can’t regret getting another chance to see him naked, because that man… I’d go to jail for that. In all the commotion, I might have forgotten to tell him I’m pregnant with his child, but that doesn’t give him the right to barge...

According to Grant Holiday, there are two kinds of people in the world: those who follow the rules and those who should stay the heck out of his forest. So when I wake up with the sexy forest ranger scowling down at me for not paying for the tiny bit of forest where I spent the night, it’s clear which kind of person he thinks I am. Grant insists on making me pay even though it’s his day off and I don’t have a cent to my name. When I get lost in the woods and Grant saves my life, I joke that our souls are now forever bonded. He doesn’t laugh. It’s not apparent he has a sense of ...

I prefer high heels to fishing reels, but single dad Henry Cooper is determined to hook me. I’ve seen too many women give up everything they want for some man, and I refuse to do the same. That path leads straight to heartache. I say the absolute wrong thing every time I’m around him, but Henry still flirts and teases like he’s mistaken me for someone with a sense of humor. My plan to avoid the construction contractor with the big hands, strong thighs, and ridiculous fishy puns is shot all to heck when my cousin asks Henry to teach us how to fly fish for an upcoming competition. I’m...

Asher Aldridge became my enemy the day he decided to steal my gym. It doesn’t matter how many years I’ve been working as a fitness influencer and trainer, because Asher is friends with the current owner of the gym I need to buy. And it’s very clear the owner wants to sell the gym to his buddy, he’s just trying to give Asher enough time to save up the money. Asher might be all smiles and good vibes, but the over-muscled lug isn’t fooling me. I’m going to fight for this gym even if it requires a battle to the death. My death apparently, because the owner has challenged me and ...

Faking a romantic relationship with my best friend was supposed to be as easy as escaping into a good book, but I didn’t account for falling for him. Noah’s been my best friend for years. Unlike my boyfriends, he never complains about how much I work or how driven I am to succeed. He’s never suggested I love words more than people. He’s the first person I want to talk to about everything, good or bad, and I’m not going to ruin our friendship by admitting how gorgeous I find him or how often I think about him. But when the only way to save both our careers is to pretend to be ...

Sometimes a mistake is the only thing that will save you. I’m taking a vacation to a small town in the middle of nowhere to forget a kiss. A smoking hot kiss on a dance floor with a gorgeous man. A man who is my colleague and my boss. A man for whom I feel way too much. Some people call me an ice queen. That’s okay with me. I’d rather be called names than flaunt my emotions like everyone should care that I’m sad or lonely or lost. Except that it’s hard to be stoic or cold when Alex Owings shows up on my vacation and flashes his charming smile. He claims he’s never forgotten that...

My obnoxious, unemployed neighbor is the last man on earth I’d ever marry, but to save my job and my reputation in this small town I’ll have to pretend I’m his fiancée. I’ve always played by the rules. I work hard and I take care of the people I love. Sure my furniture hasn’t been updated since the sixties (I inherited it from my parents), I love classic movies, and I prefer sweater sets to mini-skirts, but that doesn’t mean I’m ready to settle down with fifteen cats and accept spinster-hood. I want to fall in love, marry the right guy–an upstanding, risk-averse, good ...

The single dad next door has a fit body, eyes a girl could get lost in, and a jaw sharp enough to cut through anyone’s bad day. What he doesn’t have? The basic etiquette to say hello when he passes on the street. Until Shel Tinsdale trips over her dog and he catches her. She's covered in grease and oil and manages to fumble the conversation entirely. She's better on a stage playing guitar than flirting with a hot guy. Scratch that, she's better at getting a root canal than she is flirting with even a halfway decent-looking guy. To Shel's surprise, he doesn’t run screaming, in fact… ...

He promised me a future, then he destroyed it. Jude Cassidy was my best friend as much as he was my brother’s until he betrayed us both. I might have been able to forgive him hurting me, but I’ll never forgive him for tearing my family apart and leaving me to pick up the pieces. After all these years, he’s the last person I expect to run into, let alone offer me a job. He hates me as much as I hate him, but I don’t really have a choice. I’ll do the work, make the money, and get the heck out of Vegas. Except the way he offered me the job felt more like he wanted to protect than ...

Marrying my best friend seemed like the best way to keep him in my life, but it might be the one thing that pushes him away for good. The first time I saw Jared Reynolds, I wanted to lean into him and steal some of his warmth and laid back, easygoing nature. I also wanted to kiss him, but I tucked that away. Wanting anything too much has never worked out for me. I’ll blame the wine until my dying day, but I was entirely sober when I agreed to Jared’s offer to marry me if I was still single in three years. He only offered because I’d been emotional and complaining about my perpetual ...

If first impressions determine a relationship, my new neighbor and I should be the worst of enemies. Not only did my cheating boyfriend threaten to call the police on my new duplex neighbor, Oscar, but I called him by the wrong name when I ran into him later that same day. After he’d given me the double fudge muffin he’d just bought. The last one at the bakery. I don’t get close to anyone. Letting people in means letting in their questions, their pity, their concern. I’ve gotten really good at pretending everything is fine, that I’m happy and my life is perfect. No one, not even ...

Hitting the road with the only man who gives me butterflies while simultaneously making me want to punch him could be the biggest mistake of my life, or it could be the best thing I ever do. Three years ago, George Gregory kissed me. It was the sort of kiss that felt like the start of something really great. He spent the next twenty minutes telling me how much he loved his ex, and then he called me Mary. My name is May. Since that fateful evening, I’ve made it a point to never, ever, ever call him by the right name. I also mock him every chance I get. I love the way his cheeks turn red ...
