"I've been in love with my best friend since the day I met her freshman year of high school. She was a halo of sunshine on a rainy day, pulling me out of the shadows and making me feel like life was one big roller-coaster ride of excitement. Until the day we graduated and she left on the back of a Harley with some guy who didn't deserve her, middle fingers in the air.
Twelve years later, she's back in Blueball, as if she hadn't broken my heart and never looked back. This time, she's headed straight for the courthouse to marry some guy who looks like he's afraid of the world just so she can inherit some money. He's clearly all wrong for her too.
I decide fate has given me a second chance to tell her how much she hurt me. I bribe the guy to leave and stand in as her groom at the altar.
If I thought a marriage of convenience would be the way to pin down Rainey Shaw and teach her a lesson, I'm as dumb as the teenager who let her stomp all over his heart.
Because Rainey is back, and I'm half in love with her already.

"He's a dashing millionaire who thinks everything in life is one big joke. He's also my new neighbor, and after a humiliating experience in the cemetery that is my backyard, he becomes my shadow, showing up everywhere just to annoy me.
I'm not a fan of happy people. They bother me with their constant grins and rainbows coming out of their ears, and Vander Booth is the king of smiles. Despite my efforts to scare him away with both my profession as an undertaker and my general need for frowning through most of my workday, he sticks around like a bad case of poison ivy.
He is gorgeous though. I'll give him that. And when I see the way he coordinates outfits with his grandma, I'll admit my biological clock starts ticking. Add in his fear of real human connections and suddenly I find myself cheering for the guy instead of plotting his death.
Though opposites can attract—and boy is my black lipstick attracted to his glow-in-the-dark smile—they don't stay together long-term. And they certainly can't co-exist when they're fighting constantly in a knock-down, drag-out competition for the same piece of land for their business venture. Or can they? Cue ominous organ music . . .

"He's a giant of a man who grunts for words and barks out orders, yet circumstances require I be his fake girlfriend and spend the weekend with him in an isolated cabin.
And of course there's only one bed. Just my luck . . .
But I need this commission check that only Boston can guarantee me. So I hike up the mountain 'til I can't feel my legs, eat questionable canned beans for sustenance, and vow to simply ignore him for two days. What I didn't count on was a freak blizzard to lock us in the cabin for a bit longer. I also didn't expect to discover that beneath all those muscles and long hair and smoldery looks, Boston has a soft heart and a sad past that makes me itch to fix it.
And of course we have to snuggle to preserve body heat. My luck is turning . . .
We find more—ahem—creative ways to pass the time, and holy snowstorm is Boston creative! We both know this charade ends when we get off the mountain, so we use our time together wisely.
Turns out there's one final twist: he's my best friend's estranged brother. Yep, my luck has officially run out . . .

"Sometimes, a Vegas wedding can change your entire life . . . even when the wedding isn't yours.
Greer always dreamed she'd have a life filled with love, laughter, and her own Prince Charming. But life showed her, time and again, that fairytale endings only exist in the movies. Or do they?

But deep down, Greer sees glimpses of the guy she once knew . . . a guy who now needs her help with his latest media storm. The terms are simple: Greer acts as Ryder's girlfriend until the racing season begins and in return, Ryder ensures Greer is paid handsomely. It's too good a deal to refuse, especially with Greer's precarious financial situation.
But what starts as a staged love affair between the reunited couple soon morphs into the real thing, until Ryder's world crashes down around him, threatening to upend their newfound happiness.
Will Greer finally get her happy ending, or will Ryder forgo love to return to his former life?

"I think I just slept with Mr. Perfect. Too bad he turned out to be my brother's best friend.
The tattooed stranger rode a motorcycle while helping me collect stray cats. My boots gave me blisters and he carried me on his back. I needed help and he didn't ask questions before assisting me. Could there be a more perfect man? It just made sense to lick him and claim him as mine right then and there.
I probably should have asked him more questions before we slept together. Like, what's your last name? Where've you been living before moving here to my hometown? Is my older brother your best friend? You know. Those kinds of questions.
But sadly, I didn't. And now I'm staring at two pink lines and Mr. Perfect is nowhere to be found, leaving me brokenhearted and on my own. Even though I love my son with every fiber of my being, he's also a daily reminder that I've made the worst mistake of my life.
It's only years later when Mr. Perfect shows up in town again that I begin to see that I was never in love with him back then.
But I might be now.

"He's a tattooed, blue-eyed jerk who has no business being a single dad. He's also my next-door neighbor, and after negotiations, my grumpy employer for the summer.
I don't put up with cocky males normally and I certainly won't put up with that man making noise at all hours of the day and night while he builds his glamp-ground. I offer advice, but the stubborn fool just turns his tractor on to drown me out. He returns the favor by pushing my buttons and making me so angry I can't see straight. And I really want to be able to see his gorgeous body in those well-worn jeans and backward hat.
Amidst the verbal warfare, I discover he's hiding scars from a recent accident. I also find out his light eyes heat up to a smoldering icy gray when I give as good as I get. Makes me want to see just how far I can push him and what he'll do when he boils over.
Gannon's been dealt a rough hand in life, and when I find a way under that gruff—and stupidly handsome—exterior, I find that maybe he's not Grumpy the Bear as I nicknamed him, but instead just a teddy bear.
