"She needed a job. He needed a nanny. Neither of them expected it to be this complicated.
Bonnie Delmar is one month away from homeless. Taking a temp nanny job for Manhattan's most intimidating billionaire isn't the plan — it's the last resort. One month, one paycheck, and she's gone.
Then the elevator doors open, and she's face to face with Arlo Noble.
The man from the best night of her life. A night he, clearly, does not remember.
Arlo is guarded, commanding, and exactly the kind of powerful man Bonnie promised herself she'd stay far away from. But he's also unexpectedly tender with his five-year-old son, dangerously handsome, and apparently just as unsettled by her presence as she is by his.
She should tell him the truth. She should quit. She should absolutely, under no circumstances, fall for a man she was never supposed to see again.
She does all three.
And when the consequences of one reckless, inevitable night catch up with her, Bonnie realizes this 'temporary' arrangement has just become a whole lot more permanent."
"I thought leaving Heart's Cove for a fresh start in Lovers Peak, Colorado would be the hardest thing I'd do after my divorce. New town, new job, new school for my boys—what could go wrong?
Everything, apparently.
Starting with my new boss, Rhett Baldwin, who cut in front of me at his coffee shop on day one. Then we both 'won' the same house in the town raffle, because apparently my luck comes with a catch: him.
Now I'm stuck renovating a money pit with a man who bought me winter tires but won't admit he cares. Who secretly feeds a stray cat while insisting he hates it. Who pays for half the town's medical emergencies while hiding behind a reputation that's part truth, part armor.
My sister Georgia keeps asking if I'm okay. My ex-husband thinks I've lost my mind. And my boys? They've already fallen for the grumpy billionaire who built them Hot Wheels beds and teaches them how to demolish drywall.
Me? I promised myself I'd never let another man have power over my job, my home, or my heart.
But Rhett Baldwin doesn't play by the rules. And neither, it turns out, do I."
"Everyone in Heart's Cove knows Lizzie Butler as the reliable single mom who keeps their tight-knit community running. What they don't know is that she's been secretly pining for her brother's best friend since high school—the same man they've just volunteered her to matchmake for.
Sean Hardy returned to his hometown looking for community, not complications. But his best friend's curvy little sister has grown into a woman he can't ignore, especially when she keeps setting him up with every eligible bachelorette except herself.
Between family obligations, small-town gossip, and their own complicated history, Sean and Lizzie know they should stay in their lanes. But in a town this small, some lanes are bound to cross...especially under the mistletoe."
"She's about to discover exactly what this hunky, small-town mechanic is hiding under the hood...
I’m having a bad week.
First, I get a call from my scumbag ex-husband asking for a favor. He wants to hire me to organize his new house.
The house he’s sharing with his new wife.
The one he cheated on me with.
But the worst part? I’m so broke I might have to take the job.
I’m busy pondering my little predicament when I crash my work van into my neighbor’s magnolia tree.
That’s when I discover my neighbor is the town’s hunky mechanic and doting single dad, Remy Campbell. My mortification knows no bounds.
Then Remy takes pity on me and offers me a trade: for every hour I work to organize his office, he’ll put an hour into fixing my van. As a broke lady on the verge of a breakdown, that’s an offer I can’t refuse.
But working in close proximity with the rugged, red-blooded mechanic reminds me I haven’t felt my motor rev in six long years.
Getting involved with my neighbor is a terrible idea.
But a steamy little fling with an agreed-upon end date?
Now that could make me forget all about my ex, my money problems, and my run-in with the magnolia tree…"
"There are many ways to reunite with a former flame.
Walking into his office as his newest employee, fainting at his feet, and then having him discover you've been hiding his child for seven years is probably not recommended by relationship experts.
Yet here we are.
Seven years ago, I met Cole at my cousin's wedding. I was a freshly dumped, slightly buzzed bridesmaid seeking refuge in the hotel bar. He was brooding, mysterious, and saved me from a would-be thief who was clearly making poor life choices. (Kind of like me, as it turned out.)
Now he's my boss—the demanding, terrifying Cole Christianson who doesn't know the meaning of work-life balance and definitely doesn't know that we made a baby together all those years ago.
I'd planned to be professional, collected, and absolutely not attracted to him anymore. Instead, I've cried in the bathroom, been cradled in his arms (again), and discovered he's engaged to someone else.
The executives' retreat is next week, and at this rate, I'll be unemployed, exposed, and possibly re-seduced by the time it's over.
Some women never learn. Hi, I'm some women."
"From the author of Four Steps to the Perfect Revenge comes a deliciously witty and lighthearted romance brimming with misadventures, misdeeds, misunderstandings…and one perfectly mismatched couple.

Jilted by her ex, ousted from her home, and laid off from her job, Daphne retreats to her little hometown, Fernley Island. But even there, she feels out of sync. So, bailing on her own sister’s engagement party, she suddenly embraces a brand-new philosophy: no more goody-two-shoes.
Unfortunately, Daphne’s new mantra lands her squarely in the headlights—literally—of her high school nemesis, Calvin Flint. No longer a scrawny jerk, he’s Fernley’s acting sheriff, filling out his uniform waaay better than he ought to.
He’s also Daphne’s new boss.
As Daphne balances the books after a department scandal, a series of mishaps throws her and Calvin together. The sparks that fly take them both by surprise. But will a fake dating scheme and quest for a stolen heirloom ruin their chance at something real?"

Archer Jones is a tall, gorgeous man with a killer smile. When we kissed at our friends’ wedding last year, we agreed it was a mistake. We’re friends. Nothing more.

The villainess who’s been terrorizing our town for the past five years is lying cold on my business’s floor…and the murder weapon happens to belong to Archer.

"He’s an overprotective bodyguard. The dark-haired grump who makes introverted, good girl me more flustered than usual. And, until he decides I’m safe, he’s also my new roommate.
The business of wedding stationery isn’t supposed to be dangerous. After all, my main occupational hazard is a paper cut.
Then a rival businessman declares war, starting with a few stolen packages and progressing to all-out sabotage and open threats.
I do the only thing I can: I hire a bodyguard to accompany me to my town's local Wedding Expo, the most important event of the year.
What I don’t expect is for Cormac to take the job himself. As the stoic, grumpy co-owner of Elite Security, he should have more important things to worry about than the frazzled introvert floating at the edge of his friend group.
I’m half-convinced I’ve imagined the whole thing, anyway. I’m not in any danger.
Then my car explodes.
Cormac throws me over his shoulder, dumps me in the passenger seat of his vehicle, and decides that until this is over, I’m not leaving his sight. Everywhere I go, he goes. Every threat to me is a threat to him.
Also?
I’m moving in with him.
And I discover my new favorite grump has a softer side.
Like the fact that he owns a cat with the most unexpected name.
Or how he’s close with his family, even when I can tell they drive him crazy.
Or the way he wraps me up in bulletproof armor one minute—and his arms the next.
But no matter how safe and cherished I feel with Cormac, there’s a deranged stationery store owner on the loose with a vendetta against me.
When the villain finally makes his move, I discover exactly what it means to have an overprotective hunk charged with my safety, my heart, and my life…"

Yes, she’s the woman of Marlon’s dreams. No, he’s not going to do anything about it.
He wants her. He can’t have her. The end.
All he has to do is stay away from her and quell the protective instincts that try to rise up and choke him.

That is, until Marlon learns that Camilla's life isn't as sugar-sweet as it seems, and she might need the help of a six-foot-four private security consultant after all…"
"WELCOME TO THE WEDPOCALYPSEHis name is Pestilence.
