When I arrived at my cousin's wedding, I knew two things. One, I'd have to face my overbearing aunt and walk down the aisle with a smile on my face and shoes that hurt my feet. Two, it'd be over before I knew it and I could get back to doing what I loved, rehabilitating horses. But everything changes when I get to the bed-and-breakfast where the wedding weekend is being held. Most importantly? I get to be bridesmaid to not one groomsman, but two. Oh, and did I mention they are both handsome cowboys I'd fallen in love with a long time ago?

One heroic act damned me for eternity. With a name like Tor, I should have been a hero, just like my father and twin. Turns out I’m not. Not even close. Instead I’m the very thing we hunted. A depraved monster. I thought there was no escaping the curse. No hope for a future. And then I met my mate in the unlikeliest of places: Blackwood Asylum. A place for criminals. Power-hungry madmen. Supernatural outcasts. And her, the curvaceous writer who sees ghosts.

The cocky footballer next door has some serious game…luckily, Daphney Clarke knows how to play. Zander Williams is the hot new American determined to take European football by storm. His head is so big, it barely fits under his backwards hat. And when he’s recruited to one of the biggest up and coming clubs in London, he’s certain to make his name known.

I realized I became this male for a reason. To take down the organization that stole and enslaved what was mine by right and fate. And I knew that because I found her, I found them. They thought they could take her, keep my mate from me. They didn’t know I’d destroy them because of it.

I spent my life running from my past, hiding behind a guitar, a microphone, and a fake last name. But after my father's death, the truth came out, I'm a Wilde, and now I'm in the spotlight more than ever. My record label has big plans for Killian Wilde, the country music sensation, and unfortunately those include a co-written album with British bad-boy rocker Jameson Lorde. The one man I can't stand. Even if he is the sexiest man I've ever seen.

Twelve Years. It’s been twelve years since the last time I heard from the Aldridge family. That one voicemail changes everything - I need the money the late William offers. In exchange, I have to live eighteen months in Baker’s Creek. I’ve survived cancer, the jungle, and the plague. This should be easy compared to all that, right? Or so I think until...I see him.

With the name Holliday, you’d think I’d be all about the Christmas season. Most years, I am, but this one not so much. Between my ex being a real Scrooge-in-the-backside, re-entering the workforce, wrangling my two children, and evading my eight-year-old’s questions about Santa’s existence, I’m struggling to believe in the magic myself.

I have two goals this season: 1. Be named captain of the Seattle Serpents. 2. Stay single. I'm right on track . . . until she happens. Auden Sinclair.

Has this ever happened to you? You're minding your own business after the game, buying drinks at the bar for your teammates when you overhear a woman talking on the phone. You don't know her, but she's telling her mother she's in a serious relationship with you. You decide to play along and ask her when you'll get to meet the parents. She's embarrassed and apologetic but explains she's just trying to appease her meddling mother. No harm, no foul.

Cadence "Cady" Bloomquist knows two things for sure: First, shelving books at her shop, Nevermore Bookstore, totally counts as cardio. Second, staying late every Thursday night to take a certain mysterious customer's order is not the same as waiting by the phone for some man. Until the calls with the man who identifies himself only as "Fox" last for hours, and become the highlight of her week. Which leaves her to wonder, if his velvet voice can kindle her fire over the phone, what sort of alchemy might it inspire if they met in person?

When Aurora Hart moves in with her brother and his two teammates, it’s only supposed to be a temporary fix. Enter Noah Holden. Cocky. Heartbreaker. With enough game to have every girl on campus falling at his feet. When Noah’s best friend asks him to look out for his sister, he doesn’t expect to find her so resistant to his charm. Or find himself so interested in his new housemate.

Sound interesting? The author thinks so too! Listen to Reined In and experience the compelling world of Ryker Ranch.

Whoever said to keep your friends close and your enemies closer…was right. Being around her is the worst kind of torture. Emmie is an obligation I can’t avoid…an oath I can’t break. And, having her in my life is the last thing I want or need. But, thanks to my father, I have no choice. This family - this life, is my future, and I’m sure as hell not going to let some spitfire from the wrong side of town get under my skin and in my way.

Reese wants her even though he knows he shouldn’t. Because he can’t be what Olivia needs, and when she discovers his true reason for getting close to her, she’ll never look at him the same again. But Olivia is determined to break down Reese’s defenses and be there for him no matter what. Because some people deserve a second chance.

Three years after his marriage ended in dramatic fashion, Noah Coleman has one goal - to steer clear of romantic entanglements. In fact, he steers clear of most human interaction, studiously avoiding his large, meddling extended family, working until he’s exhausted and then repeating the pattern day after day. His strategy has worked well for him for years, keeping him sealed off from anything that can cause him pain or angst. Or it was working for him...before his company was hired to rebuild the Admiral Butler Inn after a fire reduced it to rubble.

Watching her walk away for a second time...nearly destroyed me. But it was nothing less than I deserved for the things I put her through. I should have let her go. I’d already caused Emmie enough pain to last a lifetime. But I’m a masochist. Her pain is my pain. And she’s mine. Whether she likes it or not. And the sooner she understands that she belongs by my side, the better. Nothing she can do will convince me that we’re not made for one another. We might be toxic. Combustible. A match made in hell. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. And together. We will reign.

I never wanted to go back to Baker’s Creek. But when it rains, it pours. I lost my job, lost the guy, and lost the house. The perfect trifecta of ruin. Ten years after I said I can make it on my own, I have no choice but to ask for help. But it’s my mother who needs me now.... So it’s back to where I don’t belong. There’s no opportunity in my hometown. The only job that I can get is nannying. For a player from the Vancouver Orcas. “Mean” Mills Aldridge is going to be my new boss...and I’m supposed to pretend he isn’t sex on skates.

My ex bought me at an auction and forced me to marry him. He said it was for my protection. All I can think is he had it all planned. Because what Gianni Marino wants, he gets—everything, except for me. I won't forget how his broken promises left me scarred. So this time, I'm determined not to give in to the temptation, no matter what he vows. I only wish my skin wouldn't sizzle under his touch, or my heart wouldn’t pound out of my chest from his irresistible grin. Most of all, I long to believe in him...in us, again.

‘Back to Highschool’ frat parties aren’t my scene. But when the games start, and I’m dared to join in, I can’t resist. You see, dares have always provided an excuse to be a crazy and exciting version of me. The kind of girl who steps into a closet wearing a little black dress and a blindfold, with no idea what to expect.
