I'm beginning to think he needs me as much as I need him . . .Look, there are plenty of things I just learned about the gorgeous, seven-foot-tall perfect specimen of male living next door to me:Karnak can scent everything about me, including those times I thought I was alone in my hot tub and I decided to experiment with different water jet settings.He's really good at finding lost kitties (not a euphemism).

It's finally happening! After years of scrimping and saving, I have finally launched my landscaping business from the back of my garden shop. Oh, don't get me wrong—I adore making floral arrangements, helping people figure out their soil's right pH, and sharing a million other gardening tips in my shop . . . but at long last, I've landed the coveted contract to landscape Eastshore Isle's community property, which means I am going to get paid to get really, really dirty!. . .

I thought my one-night stand with a hot older guy was just a rebound, but it left me with a memento that could ruin my life . . . or perfect it?My whole life, I've been the perfect daughter: perfect hair, perfect body, perfect grades, perfect career. Of course my mother would choose the perfect fiancé for me!

The charming town of Eastshore Isle is my hiding place, but I need someone strong to keep me safe . . .I'm pretty sure there's rules about an elementary teacher hooking up with a student's parent, but what if I didn't know that's who he was? See, I've spent the last few months getting hot and heavy with this guy on the app MonsterSmash, but we haven't exchanged names. This made our parent-teacher conference a little . . . awkward.Sakkara is the town's mayor...

The contract said temporary. My heart missed that memo. No one escapes a hostile takeover quite like this!Six years ago, in an effort to avoid an arranged marriage, I walked away from my ruthless father's business empire and built a new life as Eastshore Isle's top realtor. I thought I'd finally left the corporate world—and its power plays—behind. But when his business partner tracks me down, marriage is suddenly back on the table . . . and I'm the prize.

I'm pretty sure there's a rulebook somewhere that says the owner of a successful small-town bakery must be cheerful, friendly, and a little bit curvy, which means I'm nailing it. But my family doesn't see it that way, especially since there's no handsome doctor or lawyer keeping me company. They're visiting Eastshore Isle for our summer celebration, and they're planning to bring me a date to cure my case of singlehood.Desperate to escape their matchmaking, I make up a story about m...

You know what sucks? In today's world, there are hardworking people like me drowning under medical debt—F* cancer—and then there are guys with way too much money. Guys who treat cash like a weapon, who shouldn't get to be both rich and unfairly hot. Guys like Abydos.When I finally land the personal chef position I've been desperate for, I figure working for one of these a-holes is going to be a nightmare. But for every scar I carry from surgery and survival, Abydo...

Just when I think I'm at the end of my rope, the universe sends a gorgeous, talented, and oh-so-caring nanny to rescue me. What's the catch?Every morning I wake up and remind myself I was the one who decided to kick out my horrible ex, and it's my choice to raise my kids alone. This is less comforting than you might think when I'm knee-deep in deadlines, snotty noses, defiant preteens, and desperately in need of some help. I just never expected that help t...

I'm a focused and goal-oriented librarian-in-training, so there's no way I'm falling for my himbo roommate, who gives off major golden retriever vibes, right? Right**.**But dang. Since the moment I started renting Luxor's spare bedroom, I've been plagued with these inconvenient urges . . . so being mature, responsible adults, we've decided to deal with them. One time. Once, to rid Lux of ...

I've been a single mom for sixteen years, and I know there's no place left in my life for fun. Right?I grew up in the South, where there are three things you're never supposed to ask: A woman her age, a man his salary, and a single mother how the duck she's managing to juggle a job, a mortgage, and a teenage son who's suddenly become too big for his britches. I mean, where did my teensy little best bud go? Who is this bro who's so proud of his fle...
