If Sadie Mullins hadn't started to believe in love again, hadn't let herself fall for him, she wouldn't be feeling this way. Wouldn't have her heart breaking. Wouldn't regret meeting West Montgomery. The cocky bastard should have left her alone, let her forget about him. Let her move on with her life. Of course, he didn't. That could have been the end of it. Of course, it wasn't. Damn hope.

My boss swore kidnapping the accountant’s daughter would be quick and easy. Just find the girl at the wedding, stuff her into a car, and let someone else drive her off. My last dirty job before I get promoted. I wasn’t supposed to dance with her all night. I wasn’t supposed to kiss her, hook up with her outside the wedding, or beat up the getaway driver up when I found him in the parking lot, totally f--king wasted. And I absolutely wasn’t supposed to drive her to the safe house myself.

I was gifted as a slave-bride to an alien giant. That's the start of my day. At least I have my guide dog, Kota, with me. I'd be lost without her...literally. Yes. I'm blind. And our new alien owner is kind enough that he's not holding me to the wife or slave deal even though that's what I was intended for. We've basically been dropped into a scene from Little House on the Alien Prairie, complete with his one-room cabin, and he's been the perfect gentleman. He's pretty great, and I'm actually starting to wish I could take him home with me.

When Cooper McKay moved in next door to her, all bronzed skin and lean muscle, with a panty dropping smile that could bring any girl to her knees, Kayla Keller knew she had met the man of her dreams. He set her body and teenage hormones on fire for three years - three long tortuous years. She pushed. He retreated. It became a game of tug of war, until one fateful night she put her well thought out plan into motion, and Officer Sexy didn't know what hit him.

Smart. Responsible. That's 17-year-old Breanna's role in her large family, and heaven forbid she put a toe out of line. Until one night of shockingly un-Breanna-like behavior puts her into a vicious cyberbully's line of fire - and brings fellow senior Thomas "Razor" Turner into her life. Razor lives for the Reign of Terror motorcycle club, and good girls like Breanna just don't belong.

Life is full of ups and downs. Events that shape who you are, even those that are filled with heartbreak and tragedy. What do you do when actions bring devastation? How do you pick up the pieces and keep moving forward? One breath. One second. One minute. One hour. One day at a time, you learn to live with your unexpected fall.

As I navigated this new life as a single dad, I thought I was fine. I thought nobody would come between us. But I was wrong. It turns out greedy and selfish people are everywhere, and it's my job to fight them... to protect my daughter even as she hurls hurtful words at me and blames me for everything. I never thought I'd have the sort of unconditional love I found when Harper and Victoria came into my life. Then I somehow managed to lose them both.

Legal battles, jail time, and league punishments don't faze me as much as losing the two people who are most important to me. I'm still learning how to navigate these relationships, especially as they've started to pay the price for my actions. The fear of losing them grows stronger each day, and I don't know how to fix things between us. I'm determined to make forward progress and rebuild what I've destroyed. I just hope it isn't too late.

For two years, the man known as The Wall of Winnipeg couldn't find it in him to tell her good morning or congratulate her on her birthday. Now? He's asking for the unthinkable.

In the past, I've always been given everything I've wanted, but nothing that I truly needed. I've experienced a lot of things in my 25 years - everything except the one thing I want. It's the one thing that can't be bought. It can't even be taken; it has to be given. And nobody has ever given it to me - not really anyway. Not until him.

When she’s in my arms, I can’t let go.

The life I knew was ripped from under my feet, and I was given a six-foot-seven bodyguard named Titus. Five steps behind. Always. Until he wasn't. Titus King swore to protect me at all costs. Even in death, he promised to protect me because that was his job. But falling in love with me? That wasn't part of his job description. I was his twilight. He was my forever. But we weren't promised our happily ever after.

I had everything. A bright future, a dad who loved me, and his three best friends who would do anything for me. One more than the others. Then I lost it all. Everyone who loved me left me.
