Piper. The one I fell for during my time with the Casanova Club. It seems that I can’t shake her loose no matter how hard I try. My art and my work have been a welcome distraction, but they’re not enough. Until I meet the daughter of one of my old mentors, and everything changes. She’s an art student as talented as they come, but her pieces pale in comparison to her beauty.

Never in a million years did I expect to fall in love. Let alone with her. My favorite childhood enemy. This girl used to make my blood boil just by walking in the room. Now she does other things to me with nothing more than a look. And it’s making me want more than the tense passion we keep doing nothing about. I’ll break down her walls and show her a side of me she’s never seen. One that will steal her breath and hold her heart hostage. It’s my first time to entertain the idea of forever, but she leaves me no choice.

The woman I loved married another man. A cowboy. You gotta be kidding me. I’m happy for Piper. At least I tell myself I am when I catch myself thinking about her. She’s long gone, but I’m still here, going through the motions of my life in Port Orchard. Lucky for me, I have my own troubles keeping me busy. Competition is stiff and we’re facing some threats. All of which, I can’t let stand.But there’s a silver lining. There always is. In the midst of dealing with all of the drama, I find myself drawn to the new girl at work.

All I’ve ever wanted to do was write good music and sing my heart out, but my father expects different from his eldest son. No matter how hard I try, I can't please him and be who I really am. But everything changed the night a hot little city girl showed up at our local bar. Her skirt was tight, and her heels were high, but she was classy - a business woman. A talent agent.

I’m in love with the wrong girl. Our fathers were arch enemies in business. Hate was the center of their wicked relationship. Not only that, but she’s my best friend’s little sister. The cards couldn’t be more stacked against us. One I’m counting on to hold steady. If I wasn’t married at 35, then this beautiful girl would become my bride. But her career is more important. I’m a billionaire, so I get it. There’s only so much a man can take, though. Best of luck to her in her journey. Fate isn’t so friendly, though. She’s carrying a secret. My baby.

The Santas are striking, and it’s costing me my job. Good thing I’m marketable, even to the wrong guy. My best friend’s twin from high school is in need of someone with my talents to pull off the big opening at his ski resort in Vail. The handsome playboy with more one-night stands than the local motel happens to be my childhood sweetheart. In his mind, I’m the one that got away. Right, buddy. If I recall it right, it was him that ran like his ass was on fire while I nursed a broken heart.

Can’t find love? Good. I’m your guy. I mean, not your guy per se, but the guy to find you the love of your life. I’m the best damn matchmaker there ever was. Except when it comes to my own life. Why bother? I’m too busy setting up other couples and enjoying success anyway.

Love will find you when you least expect it. I can’t count how many times people have said those words to me, but I’ve never believed them. Maybe that’s because I found love once and it broke me when I lost it. I watched my best friend fall in love with a cowboy last year.

He’s moody, stubborn, and quite possibly the hottest guy I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen quite a few, but this one...I’ve been watching him since freshman year of college. Word on the street is that he thinks women are too needy, too catty, and overall pains in the butt. He’s about to meet his match.

I’ve never walked down the aisle, but I get paid to stand beside it. Why, I’m a wedding planner is beyond me. Oh, yeah. I love the pretty dresses, the food, the glamour, and glitz. Getting dressed up and owning the night, though I always go home alone. It’s a weird setup. Being in business is all I’ve ever wanted, and yet, the one I chose depresses me beyond belief.
