Jill Freyss-Charon is just trying to get through the year. After losing her father in a horrific car accident, she is eager to return to her summer job at a horse ranch where she knows everything will be just as it always is each summer. But when a tanned young man washes up on the beach outside her tent one night, half-drowned and begging to be given shelter until morning, any hope of normality immediately vanishes. Jill has dated Griffin Alexander\'s type before, and soon regrets taking him in when he decides to stay on at the ranch. She finds she is repelled by him, and doesn\'t believe his crazy story about being kidnapped and held to ransom... until three words escape his lips that send her head into a tailspin. ...Three words that threaten to unravel her painful past and bring her closer to this man she is trying to avoid - which will put her in more danger than either realizes.

A few months after being honorably discharged from the military, Jackson Hunt is still struggling to adjust back to the real world. He needs to get a job and find a sense of normalcy if he’s going to keep his own demons at bay. The job that falls into his lap, though, is anything but normal. Bodyguard (and baby-sitter) to spoiled-rich-girl Kelsey Summers isn’t exactly what he’d been looking for, but it’s a chance to travel, to get away from the home that has felt stifling ever since his return. It would be a pretty sweet gig if it weren’t for the fact that Kelsey’s father doesn’t want Kelsey to know she’s being followed. Hunt feels guilty (and a little bit creepy) as he watches her from afar. She’s vibrant and infuriating, exciting and reckless, mysterious and familiar. When he sees her falling into the same patterns that he suffered years ago, he decides it’s time to stop watching and help her instead. But getting to know her is more difficult than he thought, especially because the more he knows her, the more he wants her.

Garrick Taylor and Bliss Edwards managed to find their happily-ever-after despite a rather . . . ahem . . . complicated start. By comparison, meeting the parents should be an absolute breeze, right? But from the moment the pair lands in London, new snags just keep cropping up: a disapproving mother-in-law-to-be, more than one (mostly) minor mishap, and the realization that perhaps they aren't quite as ready for their future as they thought. As it turns out, the only thing harder than finding love is keeping it.

Love. I'd hated love for most of my life. I saw how it destroyed the one person I thought I could count on as it sucked him under, leaving him not to care about anything else in the world-including me. But when I didn't close myself off, I let love consume me. Love and hate, two words that don't often go together but that's what I felt for him. Beneath the prince lurked a monster. Lawson Reynolds fell in love with Campbell Wynn the minute he laid eyes on her-even though he was clueless to the fact. Maybe if he had realized it sooner, he wouldn't have lost her. Campbell Wynn had no interest in becoming another one of Lawson Reynold's groupies. She thought she found her own happily ever after when she didn't think they even existed. But the perfectly painted picture soon turned ugly behind closed doors. Will Lawson's unconditional love be able to save her from the downward cycle that she refuses to break? Or will she reach the point of no return?

“I loved her and she left. Maybe I wasn’t enough. Maybe I’ll never be enough.” I’ve been thinking these words since before we even got together. Everything is new. The old no longer has a place here. Physical items are easy to replace. I'm constantly battling the ones that aren't. Every thought and memory I have is stained. By you. You weren't even there for half of them. How is she still present even though she left? I can do this. I’m going to survive losing her
