"Everything you need in a book and the spice is amazing!" ★★★★★ She entered my world in need of rescue, like some half-naked damsel in distress. With nowhere to go, she spends the night in my mansion, only to vanish by dawn without a trace, like some ethereal dream. I had almost convinced myself I dreamed her up. So imagine my surprise when months later she’s introduced as my family’s new maid. The uniform she’s hiding behind is a far cry from the corset she was wearing the night I rescued her. No doubt my mother’s way of keeping Thea in her place and out of my bed. She ...

I know, I know… hooking up with my brother's best friend—twelve years older than me—was totally NOT a good idea. But damn, he was hot AF. Then he ghosted me, and I swore him off. Now, I'm his fake fiancée. Who saw that coming? Eight years after that unforgettable “encounter,” I'm back in my small town. Seeing Ryder Lafferty makes my stomach flip. One look at those broad shoulders and hard muscles his shirt can’t hide, and I'm back at that fiery night when I learned what his skilled hands and mouth can do. He’s now a single dad whose adorable little girl is a mini Dr. ...

How do you go from a homeless maid to a billionaire’s wife in one simple step? Get caught sleeping in his bed. Grant Barclay is a penny-pinching, drop-dead gorgeous god in a tailored suit, forced to marry to inherit his family estate. A Barclay parting from a single cent more than necessary when he divorces that unwanted wife someday? Preposterous. I’m a starving artist who’s always looking for the bright side. Getting hired as his maid the same day I was fired for ruining his suit makes me think I’ve hit the jackpot. But, a misunderstanding (not my fault, I swear!) leads to a new ...

Clear skies ahead… Jace 'Hot Cakes' Sorensen never had to try hard for anything. Flying came easy, like he was born in the cockpit of a plane. Life was smooth and women fell all over him… except Karen. Even her name should have warned him to stay clear. Turbulence detected! Karen Marks had met with irate men all her life – but usually at a parent-teacher conference. This macho know-it-all took the cake! Why did she ever agree to help her friend for some extra cash and fill her summer break? It wasn’t worth the headache dealing with Jace. She had to put up with him for one week. ...

The night we met, we sizzled. Now, he’s my new boss, off-limits and cold as ice. Judge Jonathan Wolfe could hang icicles in hell but the night he walked into my pub his irresistible smile and those heated stares had me ready to jump into bed with him… until he walked away. Probably for the best considering he’s the judge I’m interning for this summer. I’m a law student, getting by on tips and scholarships. I’m not jeopardizing my dreams for a man. I’m too busy dodging trouble. He’s the judge, stern and distant. He’s also devilishly handsome and heir to billions. Is he ...

I gave him one night and he gave me a baby. Oh, and he’s my brother's BFF. Yeah, didn’t see that coming! When I ran into Zac at the conference, I hardly recognized him. I don’t even remember when I saw him last—he’s a multi-billionaire in charge of the event. After the event, he wanted to show me his beautiful town. I wasn’t sure what to do. But, I went with him anyway. Little did I know, more than a town he’d show me his Penthouse. One thing led to another, and instead, I ended up showing him every inch of my body. We both swore it should never happen. Then, he threw another ...

I never expected to fall for my insufferable billionaire boss. Aiden is everything I’m not—a rich, spoiled playboy who is far too fond of the outdoors.

As we travel the world for his Extreme Sports Tour, the lines between fake and real start to blur. When this ends, I don’t want to return to being just his assistant.

Never fall in love with your boss… I’ve worked for Leon for two years now. Which means I’ve been in love with Leon for about, oh, 730 days, give or take. He’s tall, gorgeous, hardworking, and strict. Most of the staff at Noah’s Ark are scared of him. But I can handle the Lion King, as I like to call him. I’m his PA. I book his dental appointments, pick up his dry cleaning, keep his diary, walk his dogs, and organize his accounts. I know him as well as a wife would, although unfortunately without the added benefits that role would bring. I’d tell him how I feel, but he’s made...

Marcus: I’m an All-Star forward for the legendary Los Angeles Lakers, and I live for the thrill of the game and of making opponents bend to my will. Sometimes that means basketball, sometimes it means women. The...

She’s living on my property. Working for my company. And driving me insane. My father hired Julia Benson before he passed—an outspoken, free-spirited woman who doesn’t belong in my structured world.
