Soledad Barnes has her life all planned out. She plans everything. She designs everything. She fixes everything. But none of her varied talents can save her when catastrophe strikes, and the life she built with the man who was supposed to be her forever, goes poof in a cloud of betrayal and disillusion.

But there is no time to pout or sulk, or even grieve the life she lost. She's too busy keeping a roof over her daughters' heads and food on the table. And in the process of saving them all, Soledad rediscovers herself. From the ashes of a life burned to the ground, something bold and new can rise.

But then an unlikely man enters the picture - the forbidden one, the one she shouldn't want but can't seem to resist. She's lost it all before and refuses to repeat her mistakes. Can she trust him? Can she trust herself?

After all she's lost . . . and found . . . can she be brave enough to make room for what could be?

In their home port of Bristol, the Seymores were feared, but they had no difficulty in obtaining crews for their ships. They paid well and expected blind loyalty. Woe betide anyone who talked of what happened in foreign lands.... In a lifetime, I have had many interests. A keen gardener, dabbled in politics, dramatics, wine making, old music and dance, also religiion. Most of all, I observe the different interests of all kinds of people. Probably, this gives me the urge to write. The characters that I write about are fictional, with a hint of truth. My service in the Royal Navy has given me a wide spectrum of human nature.

Three months on a private island. Two men. One million dollars. All she has to do is tame Nash Wilde.

Two years after Zara's sister and her boyfriend were killed in a plane crash, the last person Zara expected to show up on her doorstep was Preston's father, Alistair Wilde. Yet, there he is, with an offer Zara may not be able to pass up: be his son's girlfriend for three months, live with the two of them in a remote house, and one million dollars is hers for the taking.

The challenge turns out to be harder than she ever expected. Nash isn't just wild, he's dangerous. And Alistair is far more broken than he lets the world believe.

The three of them are bound by grief. Only Zara can feed Nash's hunger and heal Alistair's pain. Lines are crossed. Rules are broken. On the island, there's no one to tell them this is wrong. And now she'll have to choose before she tears their family apart.

But she belongs to both of them― One of them has her body. The other has her heart.

There's only one thing standing in the way of Cat King saving Merry, Connecticut's Christmas festival: Grumpy town manager Noah Yates.

Single dad Noah takes his responsibilities seriously. When a late season hurricane turns his town into a disaster, he's left scrambling to pick up the pieces of the town he loves.

At least, until home renovation expert and reality TV star Catalina King arrives with a camera crew and a budget big enough to put the town back together again. But Noah doesn't want a celebrity diva capitalizing on their tragedy or filling his young daughter's head with visions of glitz and glam.

Blonde bombshell Cat is used to being underestimated, but Noah has an uncanny knack for getting under her skin. They can't be in a room together without rubbing each other the wrong way…except that time in the dark alley where the rubbing was just right. Can these enemies work together to pull off a Christmas miracle or will their fighting leave them both on the naughty list?

Author's Note: These enemies-to-lovers deliver the holiday feels with a dirty-talking hero, ballsy blonde who never backs down, steamy hot break-the-dining-room-table sexy times, and a small town that still believes in the magic of Christmas.

Love comes in the most unlikely places! It must surely be a case of mistaken identity or so Carrie informed herself as she travelled towards the place indicated to her. But then at the time she had no idea of what awaited her there or the advent of the two men into her life who would ultimately shape her destiny. Neither come to that had she any idea at the time of the dangers which were destined to torment her. Could this be all because she had once applied for a job in the civil service? But if this was the case she was hardly filing papers in an air conditioned office. Therefore she was left with the question whether she could find true love as she faced those jagged ghoul shaped rocks which appeared to inspire sedition?

A swoony small-town romance that will set your heart racing.

I've been running from the past for most of my life, hiding in a small town and hoping no one discovers who I truly am. Which was working just fine until my brother moved his best friend onto our property.

Now, I'm stuck trying to avoid the brooding billionaire's probing questions and piercing stares. And it doesn't help that I almost killed him the first time we met. Oops.

But I can’t ignore him forever. And when all my lies come crashing down, it's Linc who steps in to shield me.

Only, it's not just my safety at risk—it's my heart. Because when Linc touches me, I lose all sense.

We might be building a life together. But Linc and I both have secrets and it’s only a matter of time until the forces from our pasts come back to tear everything apart. Forever.

Your friends tell you to forget him, but you know they're wrong: something must have happened; there must be a reason for his silence. What do you do when you finally discover you're right?

That there is a reason -- and that reason is the one thing you didn't share with each other? The truth.
