EDDIE: Cancel your dinky little roomette on the train. I’m booking us two of the big bedroom suites.

BIRDIE: I’ll cancel it AFTER you’ve booked the other sleeper rooms. And reimburse you.

EDDIE: Don’t worry about it. Just cancel your tickets. I got this. Round trip. I’m on the Amtrak website right now.

BIRDIE: You don’t have to leave NYC when I do! You’ll hardly be able to spend any time with your Instagram girlfriend that you’ve never met!

EDDIE: It’s fine. She’ll be fine with it. Cancel your tickets.

BIRDIE: You aren’t going to stop texting me until I’ve canceled them, are you?

EDDIE: Damn right I’m not. Just do it. You can thank me later.

Griffin Lawson was trained to steal, torture and kill…

So, when my brother mails me a mysterious map that leads to a long-lost treasure and then disappears, I know this ex-CIA operative is the perfect man to help me. What I don’t expect, though, is the instant chemistry that sparks between us. I’m a boring, predictable librarian with a cat. Basically, a walking stereotype who has accepted her lonely fate. But, when Griff and I team up to track down an infamous gangster’s gold and find my brother, my life takes an adventurous turn full of danger, excitement and intrigue.

We can’t deny the attraction that burns between us and it doesn’t take long before it’s an all-out conflagration. But, Griff claims he’s not a good person and that he’s seen too much. He may believe he’s a monster, but I see a good man who was willing to sacrifice his life for his country…and now for me. I know I shouldn’t get involved with him, that he’s a heartbreak waiting to happen, but I can’t stay away no matter how hard I try. I can feel myself falling hard, and now that we’re on the verge of finding a priceless treasure and solving a nearly 100-year-old mystery, I can’t help but wonder…

How do I trust a man who claims he has no conscience and used to lie for a living? 

Brooke Jones

Brooding, ruthless, hot, broken…BOSS! How can such an irresistible man be such a colossal jerk? Mom said he had a kind heart, but I can’t find it. He blows hot and cold but damn it…I want him! Office fling, or serious contender for my heart? Who knows? Right now, I may smash his face in with an office chair. Only time will tell. 

Love is worth the pain and frustration. Or is it?

Noah Blakely

My life is a succession of blows to the gut. My ex-wife shattered my heart into a thousand pieces, leaving me reeling emotionally. And, to add to my frustration, our young son, Cody, seems to be last on her list of priorities. Now, my PA is leaving for six months on some spiritual retreat! Is there no end to this madness? Enter, temporary PA. Goddess, very smart, sassy, kind, and bloody irresistible!

I don’t want to, but I can’t stop thinking about making love to her. I want her…

I’ve become a secret agent, working under a new boss.

Before, I had no future. I knew nothing. Now I’ve been thrust into the workings of a new world of secrets and dragons and bears, and ancient artifacts that pose a danger to our world.

Hell, I only just found out I was a necromancer. I thought necromancers were nothing but evil, but Alex tells me I can be good: a hero. My magic doesn’t make me an outcast – I have a place in this world.

By his side.

He works as an agent and detective, retrieving dangerous magical artifacts around the world and storing them in a warehouse. My job will be to deal with the souls associated with the artifacts. I will rescue them from their torment.

All the while trying not to fall for the hot bear shifter who rescued me.

Note: This is a standalone story.

He said I couldn’t do it, but he was wrong.

An old professor at UCLA promised me that I would make nothing of myself, so I made sure I did. To the tune of billions. I’m only a little cocky about it.

Yachts, parties, and one-night events pretty much spell out my life. And all of it works well until I run into a beauty I can’t get out of my head.

But we’re keeping it friendly and casual until we aren’t.

There’s just one problem. Her old man hates me. And for good reason. He was my UCLA professor.

He’s dead set against me becoming anything important to his little girl, but the old man’s got it all backward.

I’m not looking to make an example out of our passion or prove a point.

This isn’t about hit it and quit it.

His daughter is mine, and he might kick me out, but she’s letting me all the way in.

What could possibly go wrong when four cowboys decide to try on-line dating?

Les Springer, a widowed rancher, hasn’t stopped grieving for his wife. When three of his friends cook up a Valentine’s Day weekend at his B&B, chaos ensues. The three cowboys go to an online dating site to find matches. The only problem is, no one ends up with who they pick… almost.

Jackson Coleridge, Les’ best buddy, kisses the wrong woman at the wrong time… in front of the wrong woman. Jiggs Davis, Les’ ranch foreman, gets drafted at the last minute to squire one of the matched ladies… but she’s no lady. Jayce Fulton, Les’ rodeo champion friend, tries to corral the lady no one wants… until she turns on him. Harper Lewis, a social media guru, is divorced and thinks she’s looking for a husband… until she realizes she wants more. Can the cowboy she’s chosen meet her expectations? 

Lillian Mayfield, a widowed accountant turned florist, comes across as stiff and formal and still… grieving. Is she ready to open her heart and discover a new love? Cheyenne MacPherson, part Navajo and a sculptor, is dedicated to her work and feels the weekend is… one big mistake. Can a handsome cowboy change her mind? Eva González, Les’ widowed cook and housekeeper, misses her children and longs for a sense of… family. Is she ready to start a new family with the man she loves?

Heartstring dating app exec Joshua Meadows is incredibly handsome, no doubt. Also a wild card playboy party animal…and for some reason, determined to win me over.

It was just a regular night at work for me. Another boring catering gig. I never saw Joshua Meadows coming…with that charming smile and to-die-for body. I definitely never expected to be blindsided with his offer…

Skip out on the rest of my shift and go out with him. The real kicker? He’d pay me double what I’d make that night, including tips.

Most girls wouldn’t think twice. A night out with a rich hottie like him? They’d do it for free. All he’d have to do is ask and flash that smile. But I’m not one for taking risks and being spontaneous or irresponsible. Basically, I am the exact opposite of Joshua Meadows.

He can afford to be so cavalier and reckless. I can’t. Between working my way through law school and busy social life, I don’t have time for distractions. At least not all the time…

But then again…what could one night hurt? He probably wouldn’t even remember my name by sunrise. While I’d walk away with a night I’d never forget, and get paid for it.

When that one night spirals into a whirlwind romance I never saw coming, will I be able to keep my head on straight and my heart out of his reach?

Note: This is a standalone story. 

Two strangers. Two favors. One unforgettable weekend.

After two years of providing juicy material for her aunt’s popular relationship column, Violet Monroe decides it’s time for her career as a serial blind dater to come to an end. That is until her aunt talks her into accepting one last date…1700 miles away.

Sawyer Quinn, future heir to his family’s media company, knows what’s expected of him, but longs to break free of his overbearing mother and her suffocating expectations. When his uncle hands him an interesting opportunity, he’s pleasantly surprised when it leads to a young woman unlike any he’s ever met before, but there’s a problem—his meddling mother.

My breathing literally picked up when I saw him looking irresistible on his motorcycle three years ago.

And my heart took notice. But my brain? Apparently, that was asleep.

I’m way smarter now. Noah might have roared into my life and destroyed it, but I won’t let that happen again. No matter how much I struggle to maintain the distance between us. This business trip will be the end of me. I don’t have a choice but to be close to him. I don’t have a choice but to let him hold my hand.

But this trip is also showing me another side of Noah. He’s not just a hot playboy. He’s also shrewd. Noah holds my heart in my palm again. But this time, I’ve got to use my brain too. My loyalties are being tested.

It’s a battle between love and common sense. I have to do what’s best for me, so will I be the one to shatter his heart this time around?

Note: This is a standalone story. 

She doesn’t want to work for big business, and baby, I’m BIG.

My billionaire family calls me back to New York. Time to take over the charitable foundation we have. As if traveling the globe and having a new woman every night wasn’t a good enough life.

Alas, I return. There’s a lot of money behind the family name, and I want my cut.

My own pleasure can take a back seat, or so I thought.

Even though she’s totally against working for “the man,” my new hire joins the foundation and the electricity between us could light up the night sky. Never in my life has someone taken my attention like this woman has.

I put the bad in bad boy, but all of the naughty things we’re doing around the office are sure to catch up with me soon. Not sure how the media would feel about the most charitable guy in New York spending his time leg-locked with a bleeding heart like my girl is.

But who cares? I have money, fame, and her.

Honestly, it’s the perfect love affair. What could go wrong?
