A contract? It’s a good cause. Why should I say no? Does his motive really matter? I’ve never met my best friend. Is that weird? Didn’t think so. Anonymity gives me freedom to say things I’d never say to someone’s face. And then he breaks it. Yep, the arrogant jerk injects himself into my life without any word or warning. Oh, and the best part? He just happens to be the billionaire owner of the social media company I work for. That’s right, people! He’s my boss!

In this sweet and steamy bundle of nostalgic romcoms, five found family friends make their mark in the small southern town dubbed the Hollywood of the South, even as they drift apart, fall in love, and come together again.

They say heartbreak is the worst kind of pain, and losing your first love is the worst kind of heartbreak. Taylor Coleman Two years ago, I chose him over me. Just because I was stuck in this small town, living a small-town life, didn't mean he had to be stuck, too. He had so much talent, and he...

Returning to my small hometown after I crashed and burned in the city is bad enough. Having my lifelong rival, Wes Stryker, rub it in my face doesn't make it easier. Even worse, I'm hired to help him pull his family's distillery out of a rough patch. Oh, and I'm forced to be his roommate. That means dealing with his annoying flirting and one-upping all day, every day. He's unbearably cocky, and his dimpled smile charms everyone with a pulse—except for me.

Everything was perfect until they set their sights on me. Now I can't shake them. They're everywhere. Always watching, always waiting...always one step ahead of me. I call them the Chaos Twins, but they're so much more.

In my pack, I’m a cautionary tale, the female who made her mate wait too long and drove him into rut. After that terrible night, Trevor was exiled, and I became a lesson to others that Fate always wins. Fight, and you’ll lose. But maybe I don’t want my life to be a lesson to others. Or a tragedy. Some wounds can’t be healed, but what if I tried? Would Trevor try, too? Or would he run again from the female who turned him into a monster?

My secret is finally out. I am a Boneweaver, and the last of my kind: A beast who can shift into any other. Now there’s an elephant sized target on my back and two people I love have been taken from me. In order to get them back, I’m going to have to do the unthinkable: present myself to the most dangerous beasts of the underworld and Scythe Kharkorous is going to help me do it. The Great White shark with the sharp, cold eyes has plans no one can guess at and the devastating secret he’s about to reveal to me will turn my world upside down. Everything is about to change.

I was the best bronc rider on the circuit, but being openly bisexual wasn't an option unless I wanted my talent overshadowed by my orientation. I thought I was the only one keeping my cards close to my chest, until our eyes met across the bonfire, and I knew he shared the same secret I did. Walker DeVille may have bested me in the ring that night, but I'd give him a ride he'd never forget.

When I asked for volunteers to help with our small town Christmas festival, I should have been more specific. Griffin McBride—the arrogant blast from my past who barges in like he's taking over the project—isn't who I had in mind. I want my gossip-fueled town to whisper about my successes instead of my failures for a change. To do that, I need someone to build my dream of a life-sized Christmas village in the town square, not push all my buttons until I totally lose my cool.

Lane “Gavin” Knight is the hottest new defenseman for the LA Champions hockey team. He’s my cousin Maverick’s best friend, and by trick of fate, my new roommate.

Until a purple-drink-fueled Halloween hook-up changes both of our lives.

My obsession with Sage Everett runs deeper and darker than the water of Black River—the boundary that divides our land. I’ve spent years watching the girl next door from beneath the brim of my cowboy hat. Tragedy and family feuds separate us, so I’ve kept my presence in her life unknown. Until her monsters creep out of the shadows. My wildflower seeks a savior, and all this gambler needed was a reason. And that’s how I end up with blood on my hands for the girl tangled up in my heart.

After being publicly humiliated, New York socialite and hotel heiress, Madison Clark, pours out her woes to a psychic. She's given a "to-go" bag of calming tea that promises relaxation, but instead she wakes up in an unfamiliar crappy apartment with a wallet full of maxed-out credit cards and a bank account balance of zero.

Just as my life is falling apart, fate decides to take the reins. For the first time, I’m enjoying the small pleasures of life, all the while watching it slip through my fingers, one devastating lie at a time. But at the end of the day, providing for my family is my only priority. No matter the pain, nor the consequences. Even if it means destroying myself in the process.
