Rule-bound Xavier Saint has seen it all from the battlefield to the behind-the-scenes business of protecting Hollywood’s elite. His private security firm is the best in the country, but he’s sick of protecting vapid starlets from themselves. Which is exactly what he thinks he’s getting into with Waverly Sinner, a second generation screen goddess. But she’s not just another celebrity on self-destruct.

Waverly Sinner has everything she never wanted. Parts she doesn’t want to play, dangerously manipulative parents, and a public life devoid of any kind of privacy. She hides the panic attacks and the pain behind a movie-star smile and plots her escape from the life she never chose. Until the sinfully sexy Xavier shows up to slam the door shut on her own private prison.

While sparks fly and their battle of wills heats up, a new threat materializes. Someone has been watching her, worshipping her, for years and he’s about to make his very public, very deadly move.

Can Xavier stand between her and danger, or will his feelings for Waverly dull his instincts and endanger them both?

This cowboy needs a change. But is he ready for a family?

When Colton Hand’s sister jokingly posts his “decade of pictures” on social media, it’s a wake-up call. Every picture is of him… and his horse. Every. One.

It’s time for a change. Stat. And the irresistible stranger at the local watering hole? She’s definitely ‘a change’.

But when his new housekeeper, Nora Bennet, shows up at his doorstep a few weeks later, it’s a double surprise. Not only is she his one-night stand, she’s also pregnant. With his kid.

Nora Bennet came to Tucker Plains to find her independence.

A one-night stand with the smoking hot cowboy who swept her off her feet? An excellent start.

Finding out she is pregnant with said cowboy—and then discovering her baby’s father is also her new boss? Not excellent. Not excellent at all.

Colton Hand doesn’t just want a housekeeper—he wants a wife. And a family. His offer is simple: accept a marriage of convenience, and he will take care of her and their surprise baby. But what about her heart?

Is her cowboy strong enough to be there when it really matters?

All is fair in love and texting …

When Aimee Tompkins loaded up her old catering van and pulled into Manhattan, she had her sights set on becoming one of the best (and most lucrative) caterers to ever serve crudités and creampuffs in the Big Apple. But after a year of leaving fliers all over town, she’s not only running out of money, she’s running low on hope. So when she lands a gig at a big architecture firm, Aimee’s certain her luck is about to change.

Noel Fitzwilliam is pitching the most important project of his life—the type of project architects dream of. Everything has to go right, so when he finds the new caterer naked in his office bathroom right before the meeting, he’s torn between being thrilled and being extremely irritated. He doesn’t have time for romance, no matter how incredible she looks without her clothes on.

A mix-up means Aimee is accidentally given his cell number instead of his assistant’s. So when she starts texting Noel about how much she hates him, he decides to have a little fun with her. The last thing he expects is for her to turn his world upside-down. But that’s exactly what happens as the pair start sharing their deepest secrets and their greatest fears, and Noel discovers he can share so much more via text than he can in person. But what will happen when she finds out who he really is?

It’s a case of opposites attract, even when they repel …

She can’t stand him. The feeling is mutual. Can they make it through quarantine together?

Quinn Hadley only does one thing as well as he plays hockey—wheeling the ladies. He’s the envy of his teammates. With puck bunnies on speed dial in every city, he never spends a night alone unless it’s by choice. He has a certain type—hot, blond, and easy. So when he meets Sarah Nelson, bagging her is nowhere on his radar. Not only is she a brunette, but her fiery, take-no-prisoners style is a turn-off. Plus, she’s his teammate’s sister and totally off-limits.

But his disabled mother—who’s just been foisted on him—loves Sarah. And not only is his mom methodically ruining his sweet bachelor lifestyle, but she keeps firing every caregiver Quinn hires for her. So when COVID-19 puts everyone on lockdown, Quinn offers Sarah an opportunity she can’t refuse, despite the warning bells clanging in his head. 

Sarah Nelson is fleeing a devastating breakup and has nowhere to go but to her brother’s place in Denver. An engineer by training, she needs a job pronto so she can yank herself back up on her own two feet. But COVID-19 stops her dead in her tracks. So when Quinn Hadley offers her a temporary job making stupid money, she has a hard time refusing—despite the fact she has to live under the same roof with a guy who turns her stomach. She’s had too much experience with charmers like him, and Quinn Hadley is the biggest charmer of all. With a track record to prove it. But it’s the other side of Quinn she never expects, and it’s far more lethal than his public persona.

When Mr. Smooth and Ms. Prickly shelter in place together, not even his mansion is big enough to contain the fireworks. These two are sparks colliding with gas: combustible and explosive. 

Someone’s bound to get burned.
