I'm a walking contradiction. School principal who liberally drops the F bomb. Fiercely independent yet willing to auction myself off for charity. Serial monogamist who's down for a no-strings one-night stand. Except now I've gone from one-working ovary to coparent in the time it took a stick to turn blue. F. Bomb. Ian Donovan may be a richer-than-hell venture capitalist, but he's no Prince Charming ready to sweep me off my feet. Good thing I don't need him. I've been doing fine on my own for forty years, and I'm not about to start changing that now.

She does the only thing that makes sense—intervene to save the child's life.

But there he is, living across the street. She has to admit, his presence isn't entirely unwanted.

When I was fifteen, I saw something that no one could explain. I saw a man change into a wolf. Everyone thought I was drunk or looking for attention but I knew what I saw. Now I'm going to prove it to the world.

I was backpacking my way through Europe with my friend. It was supposed to be an adventure, one last carefree trip before we started our grown up lives. Then I meet King Romer and things start to get serious really fast.

I’m not supposed to be here. That’s what I keep telling everyone but no one will listen. I just wanted to see the castle nestled deep in the woods. Instead, I end up getting kidnapped.

I’ve always wanted to go to Scotland and when I win my dream vacation, I have nothing but high hopes for the trip. Then I get turned around and when I stop to ask for directions, I’m led to this castle and entered into some kind of Queen ceremony.

Lisa is a card-carrying, book-loving Gryffindor. Solid. And that's why everyone knows she's awesome. Well, except for her crush, Matt. He only ever sees her as a friend. Plus, he's got his eye on another girl. Oh well, plenty of fish and all that. Good thing Lisa just read a book on the "wedding ring phenomenon"—you get more attention when you're already taken. What if Lisa pretends to be Matt's plus one? Maybe it'll help Matt get his girl and Lisa can hook her own fish.

I'm not in small town Nova Scotia to hook up. I'm here to settle my grandmother's estate and sell the B&B, which I soon discover has been overrun with seasonal fisherman and operated on the honor system.

I have no desire to get reeled in. Until I do.

When my best friend died of cancer just before her eighteenth birthday, she left her coveted bucket list to me. So, it falls on me to finish it for her, to honor her memory.

Most are doable, some terrify me, and then there is the last item on the list.

When Piper finds herself in Brazil and sets eyes on the sexy billionaire her friends have in mind for her—she's all in. Hell yes, Best Friend of the Year Award goes to . . . Except, there's a glitch. Turns out she's there to babysit his kid. Who the hell put that in her dossier? The point is to escape her normal life. Yeah, no award now. But the dark and mysterious widower is so much more than she could ever imagined, and the chemistry between them is off-the-charts. And now he's using their two weeks to try to convince her to stay.

Brilliant and uptight emergency room doctor Alyssa Davenport has absolutely no desire to travel to Antigua to go cockle fishing. What the hell is a cockle anyway? But it's time for her to fulfill a ridiculous New Year's Eve pact with her best friends. Heck, maybe she'll meet a hot fisherman who isn't intimidated by her and looks at her as a woman instead of a doctor. Lord knows her body is screaming for a little attention.

Veterinarian Reese Scott can't believe it when her dossier contains vouchers to South Africa to go cage diving with sharks. And when not being intimidated by sea creatures, she's supposed to be having hot monkey sex with a stranger. So why would her best friend Cole Rayburn be involved in her adventure? Except when Cole takes his shirt off, and she sees he's filled out in all the right places, she can't help but want a closer look . . . touch. Too bad he'll always see her as the tomboy from next door.

The last thing I expected to find in my dossier was sexy stockings, a plane voucher to London, and an invitation to dance at a gentleman's club. I'm a quiet museum curator for God's sake. No way, no how am I going to slide down a pole for a bunch of over privileged, narcissistic men—until I see Sean Fraser, my childhood crush, enter the establishment. Since I'm no longer that overweight teen with braces and mousey hair, there is no way he'll recognize me. Hmmm . . . Maybe I'll give him a fake name—and a private dance. That ought to make him finally notice me, right?

One drunken night with his friends where they show him the website and he accidently signs up.

Rule Young just got out of the military after serving for over a decade. He was sick of all of the travel, but he’d admit that he does miss being in control, being a leader.

He’s also been hiding from the world, and even from his three best friends, in his cabin in the woods. When he finds out that Cliff went through with the Love Bites Dating Agency, an arranged marriage agency specifically for shifters searching for their mate, and that Cliff found his fated mate, he thinks it will be the perfect distraction.  

Olivia was the best thing that ever happened to me. But she's a good girl, and I have a side that is far too dark for a minister's daughter.

But she's back in my life, and I need a wife before I can take full ownership of our failing vineyard and hotel. Only problem is, I want her again. No way can I put my hands on her. One kiss, one taste, could unleash the side of me that would only scare her.
