Someone who never left me the way Josh had. I figured that was the end of our story. I couldn't alter the past. I didn't want to rewrite my future. Brianna was always more than my best friend. She was the shining light in my black hole of an existence, and I loved her with every cell and bone in my body. I wasn't good enough for her, though-more the villain than the hero in our fairy tale.

After You

Kristina My accidental solo vacation takes a turn for the less-depressing after a drink that leads to a date with a brawny, bedroom-eyed firefighter. I'm 42, divorced, with two daughters at home. I thought romance was in my rearview mirror until the mysteriously intense Leo makes me feel like I'm the only woman in the Florida Keys. I know better than to get attached. But between midnight kisses and dirty talk under starry skies, our connection feels so real. So right. I can't give up my entire life for a fling. Not even for a man that reminds me I'm not defined by a failed marriage and a car pool calendar. And especially not one who has no interest in a family of his own, let alone a package deal like me. Leo We were supposed to be temporary. Just like everything else in my life. So why can't I get Kristina out of my head? I'm the master of no strings, no attachments. But our time together haunts me after she leaves. I'm not cut out to make a life with a woman. A woman with two kids? Forget it. At least, that's what I thought until fate brings us together again. It turns out the move I made to be closer to family brings me to Kristina's hometown-and right in her path. I can't still explain the overpowering pull between us, but I'm sure of who she is. Mine. And I'm not letting her go this time.

Starting Back

Simmer (verb): to stew gently below or just at the boiling point; to be in a state of incipient development My life was always at a simmer... only stewing, never going anywhere. I was left to fend for myself when it came to affection or love, so I learned to go without. I refused to let them see how broken and lonely I was; it was much easier to hide behind a false reality. I didn't want anyone's pity. I didn't need it. Pity wouldn't put food on the table or keep a roof over our heads. That was all me. Now, I have a second chance at a dream long forgotten. It demands hard work and sacrifice-with absolutely no distractions. A recipe I already know all too well, raising a daughter on my own. Drew Kostas is everything I've ever wanted but couldn't let myself have. He's younger, gorgeous, charming-and relentless. He sees beyond the hardened shell I've built to protect myself, coaxing out a softer me I don't recognize. It doesn't matter how I melt in his presence when the heat between us threatens to boil over. That's the thing about heat. When it rises, everyone gets burned. Especially when they're foolish enough to fall in love.

"Legend has it, if you stand in front of a mirror holding a cup and a candle, you can open a doorway between dimensions." Prince Teodric of Springport remembers the promise he made his father: to *not* try to reenact the legend of dimensions. At sixteen, he laughed at his father's claims that there were ways of traveling through portals to other realms; but five years later, as sole heir to his recently deceased father's kingdom, the eerie tale somehow reenters his mind, and with it a curious desire to break his promise. To see if, as his father said, other dimensions existed, and one traveled to them via mirrors. But Teo gets more than he ever dreamed he would, and soon wakes in a realm of the imaginary, the insane, and the impossible... only to find he switched places with a knave named Jack of Spades.

Wild Card

Then I met Owen, the sweet-talking hockey player who made me love him. He gave me the courage to trust in someone besides myself. He showed me a love I longed for. When an unwanted ghost comes knocking on my door, my heartbreaking history threatens to repeat itself. But where do I turn if I lose everyone? And how do I find where I belong, when I'm still Finding Me?

Everyone just stop for one bleeping minute so we can all get real with each other. Being a mom is some tough $#!+. You're constantly wearing questionable substances that make you ask, "is this chocolate or ... oh, crap ..." and your purse is merely a receptacle for three-week-old snacks and broken crayons. Let's be honest ... even when we're doing this "mom" thing right, we're somehow doing it completely wrong. Pardon us while we dust off our collective Mother of the Year trophy and proudly present you with an epic anthology of #MOMFAILS. *Stories inspired by real life (unless you're a cop, then it's all complete fiction). Names and situations have been changed to protect the guilty (and by guilty, we mean the moms). Because motherhood is a battlefield and we're all just trying to survive by any means necessary.
