"Zion Carmichael
Guarding a social media model was not on my agenda. Then again, neither was losing half my hearing in a bomb blast five years ago. Fate has a way of doing what it wants in my life.
I'm supposed to be the level-headed brother, not the one who schemes his way into a woman's bed and flat-out refuses to leave it again. But here we are anyway . . . with Makenzie Baird looking way too good in nothing but a smile and my shirt for me to start complaining now. This little model is going down. And I intend to ride her the whole way.
Kenzie Baird
Becoming Insta-famous wasn't on my bingo card this year. Then again, neither was anything else that happened. Like watching my best friend fall in love on social media. Or being threatened by a former coworker. Or hiring the hottest bodyguard known to womankind. Now, Zion Carmichael is breathing down my neck at every turn, telling me what to do.
Especially since his version of guarding me seems to require one bed . . . and a whole lot of snuggling. I'm supposed to be forging my own destiny and making my own rules, but when he's growling at me, his rules sound a little too good. Help. Me.

"International award-winning author Nichole Rose and USA Today bestselling author Fern Fraser have teamed up to take you on a steamy-sweet adventure to a town where nothing is what it seems.
DRAVEN: I've spent my life in darkness, hidden away from the world. It's where monsters belong after all, isn't it?
But my curvy maid, Dahlia, brings more than just order to my world. She brings me back to life and makes me want more. My beastly appearance doesn't scare her. Nothing does. Except, perhaps, the father she's running from. But I won't give her up for any man. This beauty is all mine.
DAHLIA: I spent my life fighting my strict father and his outdated opinions about right and wrong. Accepting a housekeeping job in another state is a way of proving I can stand on my own two feet.
The moment we meet, Draven's tail sweeps me off them and straight into his arms. I've never met anyone with more heart and humanity than the sexy, blue-haired giant.
In my father's eyes, Draven is a monster, not a man, but I'm determined to prove him wrong. This Bride is claiming her Beast.

"When the man of her dreams decides to fight fire with fire, this curvy girl might just go down in flames . . .
Zayne Carmichael: The moment I set eyes on Emma Cooper, I knew she was meant to be mine. Unfortunately, my shy little lamb loves the word no. She's been rejecting me since day one. So I'm breaking out the big guns and fighting fire with fire.
She's got too much on her shoulders. Mine were made to support her hectic world. By the end of the week, this curvy goddess will be mine. Even if I have to lie my way into her life and charm her whole damn family first.
Emma Cooper: Hot, bossy, and relentless. That's Zayne Carmichael. And the crazy man has his sights set on me. He has no clue just how different our lives really are. He owns his own private security company. I spend half of every day chasing after my grandma and her sister. Believe me, it's more complicated than it sounds.
I know Zayne's lying when he says I'm in danger, but he insists on following me anyway. Fine. He wants to play that game? I'll let him. If he hasn't fled by the end of the day, it'll be a miracle. There's just one problem. The longer I spend with him, the less I want him to flee.

"This over-the-top goalie refuses to crash and burn when it comes to the woman of his dreams.
Atlas Jacks: The moment I set eyes on Gabbi Sterling, I know she's mine. Unfortunately, she doesn't agree.
Her brother owns my team. Her best friend told a little white lie. And my girl is giving me nine kinds of hell. Right up until we get lost in the woods together.
Now, it's up to me to get her out safely. There's just one problem. I have a concussion and no clue where we are.
Gabbi Sterling: Atlas Jacks makes my blood boil . . . in more ways than one. The oversized goalie is infuriating. He's also infuriatingly hot. I thought he slept with my best friend, but I was wrong. Now, I have no excuse for keeping him at a distance. Except for the fact that my brother will kill us both.
I didn't mean to get us lost in the woods. Or to end up in his arms. But now that we're here, I'm not so sure I want us to be found.
Right up until his life depends on it, anyway. I'll do whatever it takes to save the man I love.

"To win a shot with his curvy girl, this hockey hunk will become her best line of defense.
Aspen: Leaving home was the best decision I ever made. Unfortunately, my older brother disagrees. He thinks I still need someone to look after me. I didn't expect him to send his former teammate to do his dirty work, though.
Noah Diamante, AHL superstar, won't leave me alone, and I like it a little too much. Especially the part where he saves my life from a madman. Now, he swears I'm never getting rid of him.
But does he mean it . . . or am I just a favor to him?
Noah: If anyone had told me that coffee would change my life, I would have laughed. Right up until I set eyes on Aspen Whatley at the local coffee shop, anyway. She's everything right in this world. But she's a little spitfire, hellbent on taking on the world by herself. Knowing her brother wants me to keep an eye on her doesn't earn me any points.
Until her life is on the line, and she has nowhere to turn. Now, she's looking over her shoulder, and I'm pissed about it. No one threatens what belongs to me. But I've been playing defense my entire life. I'll protect this goddess and make her mine. You can bet on that.

"Colter Bayliss: Fighting during a game is bound to happen. Getting ejected for instigating? That's a whole different situation.
But here I am anyway . . . banished to the locker room for a series of fights I didn't even start.
Imagine my surprise when a curvy little goddess waltzes in and sees everything (and I do mean everything). Leia Marsh has the smartest mouth and sassiest smile I've ever seen. She swears she got lost, but I know a thing or two about trouble. And this little spitfire has it written all over her. She's up to something, and I intend to find out what.
As soon as I do, I'm marrying her.
Leia Marsh: When your bestie thinks her new boyfriend might be a bookie, you do a little digging. Which is precisely how I ended up in the Falcons' locker room. I didn't expect to find Colter Bayliss naked. Nor did I expect the crazy hockey player to be so bossy.
Now, I can't seem to get him out of my hair. He's determined to solve this mystery with me. And the more time I spend with him, the less I want to solve it alone.
But can I trust Colter with my heart, or am I just something to help him pass the time?

"Gabriel: They say those with the power make the rules. They lied.
Genesis Santiago refuses to bend to my will. I know because I've tried. She wants nothing to do with me. That isn't going to work for me.
She's the only thing in this world I need. One way or another, I'll make her mine. Even if I have to break her to claim her.
Genesis: I know what people say about Gabriel Valentino. He's not just a billionaire. He's a criminal.
When he catches me trying to steal from him, I expect a quick death. Instead, the bossy, arrogant man hires me. But I won't bow to any man . . .
Not even the one who owns my soul. Not even to save my own life.

"When this curvy girl meets the man of her dreams, out pops . . . everything but the truth about who she is. Oh, boy.
Xavier Grimes
Getting into an accident on my first day in Silver Spoon Falls wasn't part of my plan. The spunky little spitfire who hit me certainly wasn't. I don't have time for love. I absolutely don't have time to chase this curvy little kitten around. But here I am anyway, head over heels, chasing her all over town. What is it with the water in this place? And why is she lying about who she is? I intend to find out. And then I'm marrying her. Post-freaking-haste.
Charlie Marsh
Getting kicked out of college wasn't in my plans. Neither was hiding out in my sister's new town. But when you're horribly nosy and have bad luck, well, fate isn't on your side. Or maybe it is. Because I also backed into Xavier Grimes. He's bossy, grumpy, and infuriating. But he also makes my heart race. Especially when he calls me his little kitten. I think I'm falling for the crazy man. But once he finds out that I've been lying to cover my tracks, I'm going to be in so much trouble.

"Luca: A life in hell was the sacrifice I made to keep my brothers alive. There's nothing I won't do to see that job through. Even if it means seducing the enemy.
But I never intended to fall for Callandria Genovese. She was supposed to be a means to an end, nothing more.
Now, I've got more to lose than ever. And the woman who holds the key to my future is in chains in my bedroom. I need her trust. I want her heart. One way or another, I will have both.
Callandria: I've been taught to hate the Valentino family since I could walk. I know they killed my grandfather. But no one warned me that the real monster of the bunch was Luca Valentino.
They didn't tell me I'd find myself imprisoned in his bed, either. Or that I'd be so reluctant to leave it. But that's precisely what happened. Little by little, he's slipping beneath my defenses and making me feel things I shouldn't.
But which side of him is real? The wanton man who sets me ablaze . . . or the ruthless mobster who refuses to let me go?

"Falling for Snow was the last thing this mafia prince intended to do.
Dimitri: Silver Spoon Falls was supposed to be an easy mark. Instead, I'm up to my ears in cartels and complications. I waltzed into enemy territory to investigate . . . And waltzed back out with a new mission in life.
Protecting Snow Buchanan from her stepmother and her cartel of henchmen. Her seven furry friends doubt me. Her stepmother wants to kill her. And all I want is to lay siege to her heart. This curvy little princess will be mine.
Snow: When my dad died, I knew it was only a matter of time before my stepmother found a way to get rid of me too. She wants his money, not his daughter. But I didn't expect her to send trained killers after me.
I certainly didn't expect Dimitri Arakas, the gorgeous bad boy who makes my heart race. He swears he's going to protect me. But I just have one question . . . Who is supposed to protect my heart from him?
Contains mature themes."
"Sleeping Beauty just met Silver Spoon Falls' most dangerous criminal. And he's not letting her go.
Constantine: I had one simple mission: Get in, take care of business, and get out. But even the best-laid plans go awry.
Mine do the moment I set eyes on Aurora Branson. She's been missing, presumed dead, for months. Imagine my surprise when I find her being held hostage by a cartel. Now I have a new mission: Explain the trail of bodies I just left in my wake . . . And then make this sleeping angel mine forever.
Aurora:
I learned one lesson early in life: Trust no one. This isn't the first time I've woken up with a stranger looming over my bed. But unlike last time, this dangerous man swears he means me no harm. For some reason, I believe him.
But I never expected to fall for him. He's more deadly than the men who kidnapped me, yet I've never felt safer. But is it all an illusion, or is this dark prince truly my white knight?

"Finding love on St. Patrick's Day was not part of this bodyguard's assignment . . .
Callum: I've heard enough about the water in Silver Spoon Falls to know two things: The people here don't joke about it. And I need to stay away from it.
But the luck of the Irish clearly isn't on my side. Because I just got hired to protect the woman who bottles and sells it. One look at Hope Byrne has me rethinking everything. Starting with how soon I can make her mine. There's something magical about this curvy little goddess and her fiery Irish spirit. And I fully intend to break all my rules to claim her.
Hope: Thanks to the water, people in this town have always been lucky in love. Why shouldn't others benefit too? Giving them a little bit of hope makes me happy. But someone is trying to destroy me and my business.
Hiring Callum Carmichael is my last chance to save it. But I did not expect to fall for the grumpy giant. Something about him makes my blood boil . . . and steam.
He's determined to knock down my walls. I'm starting to think I want to let him. If I survive the dangerous people determined to destroy me, anyway.
