Kidnapped by the mafia king… for his heir!

Ever-responsible Mia wants one night of unadulterated pleasure, and sinfully attractive Vittorio Rocco readily delivers. Yet, in the Italian’s world, desire is quickly overshadowed by danger…

As gunfire rains down on Vittorio’s estate, he orders Mia’s departure. But dancing with the devil has consequences—she’s pregnant!

Going home shouldn’t be this hard…

Cassidy Lambert has worked hard to build a professional career in Great Falls, far from her domineering mother and the expectations of Coffee Creek Ranch. She swore she’d never come back for good. But when a dangerous equine disease threatens the family horses—and the ranch’s future—Cassidy has no choice but to return home.

Working side by side with rugged veterinarian Dan Farley is the last complication she needs. Their first date years ago ended in disaster, and Dan hasn’t forgotten it. Now forced into close quarters as they fight to save the ranch, old wounds resurface—and so does undeniable chemistry.

Dan once vowed to guard his heart against Cassidy’s sharp edges and city ambitions. Yet beneath her independence, he sees the compassionate woman who loves this land as fiercely as he does.

As the crisis deepens and small-town ties pull tight, Cassidy must choose: the life she built in the city… or the cowboy vet who feels like home.

Love ‘N’ Marriage: A young woman discovers that sometimes love’s right there in front of you in this workplace romance.

As Stephanie Coulter discovers, sometimes you find it in the most ordinary places―and what could be more ordinary than the office? Stephanie, who works as an assistant at Lockwood Industries in Minneapolis, is temporarily assigned to the boss – Jonas Lockwood himself. Jonas lives up to (or down to!) his reputation as a tyrant, dictator, and grouch.

But Stephanie’s colleagues, romance readers all, decide that he’s really the classic lonely hero. What he needs, they say, is Love ’n’ Marriage. And the woman they have in mind for him is…Stephanie.

Jury of His Peers: Two childhood rivals reconnect during jury duty—and are forced to navigate their complex feelings for one another.

Caroline Lomax is eager to exercise her civic duty and report for jury duty. However, when she sees a familiar face on her first day, she is near certain that she has come face to face with Ted Thomasson, the thorn in her side throughout high school—and the last person she’d want as a fellow juror.

Ted still seems to relish making Caroline squirm, but he shocks Caroline when he declares that he’s always harbored feelings for her. Just as she attempts to make sense of it all, they’re both selected for the same case . . . and as things intensify in and out of the courtroom, it becomes clear that Caroline has an enormous decision to make.
