After years of bad relationships and a cheating ex-fiance, twenty-eight-year-old Mia Martinelli prefers healing her patients' hearts on the Cardiac Care floor rather than risking having her heart broken again.

Although he tries to forget the sensual brunette whose curves made his mouth water, AJ can't get her out of his mind...or his heart. Months later when he finally seeks Mia for answers as to why she left, nothing could prepare him for their life-altering reunion. Can AJ prove to Mia that regardless of the women after his body, his heart belongs only to her?("

Last Mile

BarrettThe name's Barrett Callahan. Yeah, that Barrett Callahan-the one the press dubbed "Bare" after those naked pictures surfaced. At twenty-seven, I was armed with an MBA from Harvard, an executive position at my father's Fortune 500 company, a penthouse, and a different piece of delectable eye candy in my bed every weekend. I had a life most men dreamed of. But then my father decided to run for president, and my playboy lifestyle became a liability to his campaign that was built on family values. My "makeover" comes in the form of a fake fianc�e who I don't even get to choose--one who is an uptight, choirgirl acting priss but also sexy-as-hell. AddisonMy latest relationship had gone down in flames, and I was drowning in a sea of student loans when in true Godfather status, James Callahan made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Seven figures for seven months on the campaign trail pretending to be the adoring fianc�e of his son, Barrett. As soon as he won the election, our engagement would be dissolved amicably for the press, I was free to ride off into the sunset a million dollars richer, and because of the NDA, no one would be the wiser. Sure, I'd never met the guy, but I'd been a theater nerd in high school. I could pull off any role from Lady Macbeth to Maria Von Trapp. But that was before I met my fake fianc�-the infuriating, self-absorbed, egotistical, drop-dead-sexy King of the Manwhores.The race will be a fight to the death finish, and that's not even the actual campaign.

Running Mate

The last time I saw Declan St. James was at our rehearsal dinner. That was shortly before he jilted me at the altar. To avoid the swarm of whispers and finger pointing every time I dared to show my face in public, I fled two hours south to Atlanta and never looked back. Over the last decade, I'd planned hundreds of scenarios about how our next meeting would go down. The expletives I'd hurl at him. Which knee I might use to annihilate his balls. Which dimpled cheek on his ridiculously handsome face I would send a stinging slap across. But being elbow deep in a cow's ass was not one of them. Normally, I didn't get up close and personal to a bovine's rectum. At least not since veterinarian school. But desperate times found me back home to attend my grandfather's funeral, who happened to be the town's large animal vet. Those two facts had left me wading through manure in Roy Wallace's pasture to care for a distressed heifer. While time and maturity seemed to have changed him from the boy I knew, I still wasn't falling for his charm. Or his hard, chiseled body. Or ass you could eat dinner off of. No, I wasn't going back down that street again. Unfortunately, Declan didn't seem to get the message. Instead, he seemed as stubborn as he ever was and ready for a fight. It'll be the fight of his life for me to let him back in my heart.

An Anthology for Ukraine

Nightingale

Cade Hall has always been the golden boy of the gridiron. Because of his talent at football, coupled with his father's wealth, he's always gotten his way. But when a night of drunken debauchery lands him in hot water with the college athletic board, neither his influential father nor his charming grin can save him. Cade finds it a total buzz kill when he is sentenced to community service with troubled youth at an inner-city shelter. But his nightmare is only beginning when his greatest high school regret is the very one in charge of the program, and she has him by the balls in more ways than one. For Avery Prescott, senior year was a nightmare of epic proportions, and Cade Hall played the lead villain. After she fled her small town for college in the bright lights of Atlanta, she thought she had escaped the painful memories of her past. She never could have imagined Cade would waltz through the door of the outreach program she presided over. But Avery has news for Cade-she isn't the same shy, doormat of a girl she was in high school. Since she holds Cade's football future in her hands, she's more than ready to make payback a real bitch. Will they stay in the defensive zone or discover that sometimes life's greatest lessons are learned the hard way?

The Hard Way

The Party Coming off a break-up with his latest "friend with benefits," the last thing Aidan Fitzgerald needs is a family hassle about his bachelor status. But after standing up as godfather for his great-nephew, Mason, that's just what he gets at the Christening Party. Escaping the wrath of his father and sisters, he wants nothing more than to get to the company Christmas party. There he knows he can knock back a few stiff drinks and find some new no-strings-attached girl to take home for the night. The last thing Emma Harrison wants is to attend another party-least of all one at work. After throwing the annual life celebration (for the anniversary of her fiancee's death) with close friends, she's finally gotten the courage to take matters into her own hands and become a mother. Convincing her slightly inebriated best-friend, Connor, to be her sperm donor was a lot easier than she thought, and all that's left now is to start the process. But at her best friend and work colleague, Casey's, insistence, she decides to make an appearance at the company Christmas party for her new boss's sake. Neither Aidan nor Emma could imagine what fate had in store for them at the party. The Predicament Unlike her best friend Emma Fitzgerald, Casey Rossi had never been overly maternal. She much preferred parties with Patron to Pampers and pacifiers. Most of all, she enjoyed a healthy sex life with her husband, Nate. But all that changed with the birth of their daughter. While motherhood is a thrilling, new adventure and her love for Nate grows even stronger seeing him be a wonderful father, Casey can't ignore how stagnant things have become between her once steamy sheets. Between her exhaustion and Nate's schedule at the hospital, there's little time or energy for sex. She can deal with sporting spit-up stained clothes and a few sleepless nights, but she can't abide losing the white-hot connection with her hubs. No matter what it takes, Casey is determined to resuscitate her flat lining sex life. She starts out seeking the advice of her friends, Emma and Megan. But she's desperate enough to try anything that she even solicits the advice of reformed manwhore, Aidan Fitzgerald, which turns into a fiasco of epic proportions. Will any of Casey's intentions be successful at reigniting her lost bedroom heat, or will they fail and cause matters to fizzle even worse? It's one hell of a predicament.

The Party and Predicament

The Party

"When Sophie Jameson first became a domme at Club 1740, it was more out of financial necessity than it was for personal pleasure and sexual exploration ... But all along, her path in life and her heart was with a different profession- one she was planning to embark on at the summer's end ... And then he changed everything. Tall, dark, impossibly built- William was the complete oppostie of whatever image a male sub conjured up"--Page 4 of cover.
