"No one ever really talks about what happens after happily ever after . . .
I proved that fairy tales aren't as farfetched as everyone seems to think. I found my Prince Charming, and I married him.
Jake is gorgeous. A hot doctor who just happens to also be a billionaire. Our chemistry is nothing short of combustible. And I'm happier than I've ever been. Except for one thing.
Lately, Jake's been so busy with work that we're apart more than we're together. It's happening so often that I'm starting to feel like a married single mom.
So, I'll need to figure out some way to spice up our marriage over the holidays. Something that'll get his full attention.
Because after everything we went through, we deserve our happy ending. And I'm not about to let it slip away without a fight . . .

"I don't believe in love at first sight. But hate at first sight? That I have experience with . . .
Sebastian Aster is a sexy billionaire with a dark, tragic past. He’s also a grumpy, alpha jerk.
It doesn't matter that he's here to help save my parents' winery. Or that making an enemy of him would be bad for my career as a gossip columnist. I can't stand him.
Which is why I suggested the charity bachelor auction. I knew he'd hate it, and I wanted to knock his ego down a peg.
Fake dating wasn't part of the plan. It just sort of . . . happened. But the joke's on me, because the more time I spend with him, the more I realize I misjudged him. Beneath his cold exterior, he's sexy, passionate, and caring. I could fall for him so easily. Too easily.
Because now, I know that my time with the elusive Mr. Aster will either end in happily ever after, or utter devastation—and I'm afraid that devastation seems far more likely . . .

"I thought I had it all. She showed me just how wrong I was . . .
Being a cocky, playboy, billionaire doctor is every bit as amazing as you'd expect. Or, it was, at least. Until I met her.
Dr. Mikayla Smith is everything I'm not—sassy, sunshiny, and idealistic. She's also a much-younger resident at my hospital, which means she's forbidden fruit. I should've left her alone. But I didn't.
Now, there's no going back. I found something I never knew I wanted, and it's as addictive as it is terrifying. Could it be . . . love? It's hard for me to say. What I've seen of romance and marriage isn't exactly healthy.
What I do know is that my family—old money to the bone—won't accept my Mickie. Being with her could cost me everything.
All I need to figure out is if any of it is worth having without her . . .

"In what world does a failed one-night stand lead to a fake marriage? This one . . .
Our night together? It could've gone better. For example, he could've chosen to not take a phone call in the middle of the . . . final act. But I'm willing to give him another chance. I'm a giver like that.
And Spencer Monroe is, after all, one of southern California's hottest, wealthiest, and most influential men. He's exactly the kind of player I like to bring to his knees—in the bedroom and out of it. I never expected him to propose a fake marriage, though. I really never thought I'd accept.
But here I am, at his brother's wedding, with a fake husband, clutching the stupid bridal bouquet I should've let hit the floor. So, what the hell am I supposed to do now?
Well, I can tell you what I'm not going to do. I'm not going to fall in love with the ridiculously handsome, annoyingly charming billionaire.
That's what I keep telling myself, at least . . .

"Letting her go was a mistake. I never repeat my mistakes . . .
It was just going to be a quick vacation. A break from the demands of my job as a pediatric surgeon. I never thought she'd be there.
Jessica Stein. My Jessa. The woman I left behind all those years ago is every bit as sexy now as she was then. I want her more than ever.
Too bad she doesn't feel the same way. To her, I'm the guy who broke her heart and let her down. She thinks I'm the same player I used to be. She's wrong.
But the only thing she wants from me is my medical expertise. See, her son is sick. I'll do everything I can for the boy, and eventually, I will convince her to trust me with the secrets I know she's keeping. I need her to give me a second chance, because I am the man she's been waiting for.
All I have to do now is convince her of that . . .

"He was my perfect act of rebellion. He became so much more . . .
All I wanted was to be free for just one night. Free to make my own mistakes, to do something daring and crazy. Something my parents would hate. Chase was perfect in that capacity.
He was everything I could ever want in a one-night stand. The sexy-as-hell bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks was a walking, talking, fantasy come to life. My fantasy.
He turned my world upside down that night. And it wasn't until I saw him a year later that I realized I'd never really gotten over him. The scary part? Chase never forgot about me, either.
He wants to be with me. I want to be with him more than I want my next breath. But I can't afford to fall for that hard body and those soft eyes. We're from two different worlds and things between us could never work out long-term.
I mean, one-night stands never lead to happily ever after . . . do they?

"I never should've let my guard down. Especially not with him.
I'm used to being strong. In control. I have to be to run my corporation. So, I should've been able to hold my own against him. Against his relentless charm and devastating good looks.
But I couldn't. I didn't.
It doesn't matter that our companies are irrevocably tied together, or that being with him is beyond inappropriate. It doesn't matter that he's a known player and I don't tolerate games. It doesn't even matter that he makes me lose my prized control with every heated glance, stolen touch, and dirty whisper. I crave him.
Being with him could cost me everything I've worked so hard to build. But as strong as I am, I can't seem to walk away.
Now, all I have to do is decide whether the cost of following my heart—which is pushing me straight into Alex Grayson's arms—is more than I'm willing to pay.

"We shared the love of a lifetime. Too bad I don't remember any of it.
Pieces of my life were ripped away without warning. My career, my control, my sense of self . . . it's gone. So are my memories of him. I now know him as the handsome doctor who was there for me when I first woke up after the accident. But before that, he was the love of my life. My everything. Or so I'm told.
I'm not the woman he remembers. I'm just a ghost with her face. An unfortunate remnant of the happily ever after, fairy tale kind of romance we apparently had together.
He says he'll wait for me. That he won't stop fighting for us, even if he has to make me fall in love with him all over again.
I think he's right. I will fall for him. But the real question is, can he truly ever love me for who I am now? Or will his heart always belong to the memory of who I used to be?

"The billionaire always gets what he wants. This time, he wants me . . .
My trip to London was the first lucky break I've had in years. It came at just the right time, allowing me to escape my sad reality for a bit. And the guy I met on the flight? Perfection. The short week we spent together was filled with raw, unbridled, and passionate nights. But it couldn't last. I'm a single mom with a troubled past and a shady ex. Romance just isn't in the cards for me. Which is why I walked away from Jim and didn't look back.
That was before I landed my new job. Before I met the boss. Before I discovered that Mr. James Mitchell, CEO, was my Jim—my unforgettable Jim from our week together in England. Judging by the smile on his face when he sees me, he remembers everything. And now he wants more. He wants me.
The timing is terrible. My life's a mess, and I just know my ex will do something to ruin me. Again. But none of that matters when I'm in Jim's arms.
So, what are the odds that I'm finally due for my very own happily ever after?
With my luck? Not bloody likely.

"Billionaires like him have a type. And it's not me . . .
I'm not the kind of girl who has one-night stands. Except . . . I did.
What can I say? After a few drinks with a gorgeous man who made me feel alive for the first time since losing my mom, I was powerless to say no. And I didn't regret it. Not one minute of our hot, mind-melting night together. But he wasn't a forever kind of guy. So I walked away. I wasn't supposed to ever see him again. Then I did.
Turns out my sexy one-night stand is Dr. Jacob Mitchell—and he's the cardiothoracic surgeon who just saved my dad's life.
The shocking part? He never forgot about me or a single minute of our night together. And he wants more. Actually, he wants it all.
But I'm no fool. And just because he handles hearts every day doesn't mean I'm going to give him mine. Not without a fight, anyway . . .
