When love is the greatest risk of all…

Take one love-burned school teacher, add a globe-trotting bachelor, stir in the real estate deal of the century, and mix with a wild storm, and you have a sweet and sexy romp to love in the Colorado mountains.

Krissa needs a fresh start…

“Bad luck be gone.” Krissa Courtland closes her eyes and stabs a pin in the map. No more cheating exes or downsized jobs. With fingers crossed, she lands in Colorado, but right off a storm flattens her dream cabin. But disaster turns delicious when irresistible Nick Olin saves the day. And now Vail’s sexiest resort developer is her landlord and next door neighbor.

Nick’s career is on the line…

Nick’s silky brown curls and teasing smile melt her heart, but Krissa can’t shake the ache in her soul and won’t trust in love. Too bad for Krissa, Nick has other ideas. With her luscious curves and vulnerable amber eyes, Nick is oh-so-distracted from his empire building. Every time Nick makes a move, Krissa bolts. Can Nick prove he’s trustworthy and just the man to heal her heart? Or will Krissa run out on her chance at love?

She’s home on the ranch, and turning up the heat…

Trevor McCall never wanted to settle down. But now he’s forced to take over his late parents ranch, and to raise his cousin’s four-year-old daughter, Jade. Sure, he can run the place for a year to satisfy his parents’ will. But take care of a kid? No way…

To make matters worse, Lacey Cameron, his sweet housekeeper, is leaving to open her own Bed and Breakfast. Desperate for help, Trevor makes Lacey a deal: stay and help with Jade, and in return he’ll help her fix up the B&B. But as the two of them work together, Trevor realizes the girl he’s known all his life has grown into a beautiful woman…

For years, Lacey’s been saving to start her business, and nothing’s going to stop her from leaving the McCalls. Not that she doesn’t love the family… It’s just that she loves one particular McCall a bit too much. But Trevor plans to leave as soon as his obligation to his parents will is over. And Lacey is forced to make a choice.

Keep things with Trevor strictly business? Or give in to their attraction, knowing she’s just setting herself up for heartache…

Note to self: don’t fall in love with a gangster.

I’m the good girl: a college student who studies hard, wants to do good, and plays by the rules. I shouldn’t be falling for a guy like Darren Lee, the bad boy owner of an exclusive nightclub that, unbeknownst to me, caters to an international triad.

We’re absolutely wrong for each other. Maybe that’s why the heat between us is so sizzling hot…

But Darren’s desires run dark and wicked. Should I submit to his passions? Something tells me that if I throw caution to the wind, I could be in for a world of hurt.

A Warrior has a choice to make: rescue the Woman he loves…or complete a quest to heal himself. Which will he choose?

Chloe Deems is a plus sized girl with pink hair and an attitude –she owns her curves. Which is one reason she’s so upset when she gets abducted by aliens and forced to live in a Smart House designed to make her lose weight. She has to weigh in every day and the smart-aleck talking scale decides what she’s allowed to eat which is always lettuce and celery and never the delicious Thin Mints she can see peering tantalizingly out from behind the unbreakable glass cupboard in the kitchen. To Chloe, it seems like things just can’t get any worse…until a prospective buyer comes to look her over.

Tark is a Beast Kindred who has been on the outside looking in his whole life. A debilitating stutter has kept him from finding a mate or settling down. Finally he gets a prophesy from a priestess telling him to seek for an elusive jewel which can cure his voice and Tark knows just where to look for it—in the house where Chloe is being held prisoner. But instead of the jewel, he finds a feisty, gorgeous plus-sized girl who’s ready to fight for her life. He agrees to rescue her if she’ll help him look in the only other place the jewel might be—the Resort of Resonant Oneness, located deep underground on a planet that straddles the lines between dimensions.

Chloe agrees to help the big Kindred out in return for her freedom but she doesn’t know that the resort they are traveling to has some distinctly erotic ideas about “oneness.” Now she and the huge Beast Kindred are stuck doing some incredible embarrassing and intimate exercises that make even the brash Chloe blush. Still, she and Tark seem to be growing closer…until a monster from her past kidnaps Chloe.

Tark is given a choice—between rescuing the woman he has come to love, or completing the task he set himself in the first place and regaining his voice. Which will he choose?

Reckless. That’s what they call me.

I rush into burning buildings to save lives, and I wish it was for a just cause. It’s not. It’s to prove that I’m worthy of love.

A messed-up knee, and my dreams of being in the NFL are gone. I’m fearless when it comes to fighting back death. That’s not what messes me up. It’s living that gets me.

The last thing I need in my life is a woman, no matter how bad I want one. And yet, this one has me pacing the floor.

The single mom who owns my crew’s favorite restaurant is sweet, loving, and hot.

It’s not that easy, though. She’s lost too much in her life to give out free chances to men like me.

But I’m not asking for a chance. I’m taking it.

Bri McAndrews is the envy of every girl at Chamberlain and the one every guy wants at their side. What most people don’t know is that there’s so much more to her than the picture-perfect life everyone sees on the surface. Being the daughter of a power-hungry senator has her under constant scrutiny. Even though she’s used to being in the spotlight, it’s becoming harder to meet her father’s expectations. When Trey Donovan stereotypes her as just another spoiled, rich kid, she’s more than determined to show him he’s wrong about her, and she doesn’t care about the consequences it will have for her at home.

After giving the most popular guy in school a beat down he’ll never forget, Trey Donovan becomes more than just the new, all-star quarterback at Chamberlain. He’s the bad boy from the south side every girl is dying to have on their arm. Unfazed by his new popularity, Trey isn’t about to let his guard down. But keeping everyone at a distance becomes a challenge, especially whenever Bri is nearby. She’s way out of his social stratosphere and the one girl he shouldn’t even consider pursuing.

As Bri and Trey grow closer, more than a few vengeful people have a problem with it. Can their budding new relationship survive when so many people are set on keeping them apart?

I’m in over my head, failing in their power games I don’t understand.

One day I wasn’t sure I could pay the water bill for my trailer; now I’m wearing red-soled heels and sipping champagne, acting like I belong. Everyone hates me. I’m alone in this hostile world until… him. Saving me from the burning limo intertwined our destinies, whether we like it or not. Secret Service Agent Trey Benson. Tall, dark, handsome–and hates me.

He thinks I’m like the other power-hungry socialites, desperate for his money and family name. He’s the type of distraction I can’t risk. But he’s everywhere, always by my side wearing that damn mischievous smirk that makes me want to either slap or kiss it off his face. Except our intense attraction grows too strong to ignore. Stolen moments and secret nights wrapped in each other’s arms are dangerous, our hidden love affair the potential scandal I can’t afford.

Can I beat them at their own games with Trey by my side? Or will love be the sacrifice I’m forced to make to get out of this mess alive?
