When transplant surgeon Harlow James hits the open the road after a devastating personal loss and ends up in Taos, New Mexico, she hopes to find out where she went wrong.
Instead, she finds the perfect man.
There's only one problem: he's too young.
But even if master woodworker Dax Drexel is the perfect distraction to her problems, can their fling survive the scrutiny of her profession, her friends and his family? And when all is said and done, can she find the strength to return to the world that betrayed her and pick up the pieces she left behind?
After a crazy year that began with my business partner's divorce followed by scandal for being with a much younger man, I decided to let it all go... that is, have a one-night stand with a younger man.
A year later, here I am with a baby whose father has been AWOL since that night... which is totally fine by me since I told everyone I got pregnant via a sperm donor.
Okay, technically, I lied. But it's a better story to tell everyone instead of the truth. After all, I do have a reputation to uphold.
But when Jordan O'Halloran shows up at my clinic after spending a year building schools overseas, the last thing I want to do is lie (again). Piper is his daughter and he has every right to be part of her life.
We just have to get our story straight in front of my very old-fashioned Filipina mother and Jordan's ex-girlfriend who hasn't quite accepted that he's moved on.
But there's more to co-parenting than I ever anticipated... like feelings that become all too real between us. But can a real relationship grow from a one-night stand? And is Jordan choosing to be with me only because of the baby?
A broken Marine.
His best friend's devastated widow.
Both determined to keep their promises no matter the cost... even love.
When Marine veteran Sawyer Villier remembers a promise he made to a friend while they were both deployed a lifetime ago, he’ll do anything to fulfill it now, especially after his buddy becomes a casualty of postwar PTSD.
But Sawyer's not the only one determined to keep his promises.
Drew's widow has one of her own and she'll do everything she can to keep her late husband's memory safe no matter what the cost... even love.
When I wake up in my brother's best friend's bed the morning after he rescues me from the worst blind date I've ever had, two things are suddenly so clear:1) No way am I ever letting my BFF set me up with anyone ever again and 2) my brother's best friend is the hottest thing on two legs I've ever seen...
Oh, and why don't I want to be "just friends" anymore?
Wait, that makes three things.
But is a fling worth sacrificing a lifetime of trust between our families? Or is it worth a shot at something that had always been there all along?
When a toxic waste spill on tribal land requires environmental protection specialist Benny Turner to be out of state on Valentine's Day, the timing couldn't be any worse, not when he's never missed surprising longtime partner (and romance cynic) Sarah Drexel on Valentine's.
But Benny has never been one to give up so easily. Determined to give Sarah a day she'll never forget, he’ll move mountains to get back to her in time for Valentine's Day... or even better, employ the help of friends and family to help him pull off his most ambitious plan yet. Only Benny’s not the only one with a surprise up his sleeve. Sarah has one, too.

What happens when last year's one-night stand turns out to be your hometown's hottest doctor?
Apparently, not everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas... and for thirty-something ad exec Ava Turner, that's exactly what happens when her one-night stand turns out to be Auburn Springs' newest-and hottest-doctor.
And when things heat up between them again, Ava must decide whether her big city dreams are more important than a chance at finding love in the small town she thought she left behind.

So I give my dad exactly what he wants: I get engaged to the only woman he’s ever approved of.
Sure, it’s fake, and with everyone getting what they want from the arrangement whether it’s getting my dad’s very rare seal of approval to a hotel expansion that’ll exceed every green building rating in the world, what’s the worst thing that could happen?

But only if I don't lose my heart first.
