I'm not looking for love at the Short Stack diner. Just pancakes. I've been screwed over before, and it was the mother of all disasters. The only silver lining? My cute-as-hell daughter, Minnie. Until I meet Valentine, the hot waitress serving us eggs and bacon. She's over-the-top gorgeous, with a body that makes me want to have her for breakfast. And when she sprays me in the face with whipped cream, her pink cheeks start to melt my frigid heart. I can't let her get to me. A scorching summer fling, sure...but that's all my life can handle. Once fall comes, we're over.

Emerson LeBlanc doesn’t enter society much. He only ventures out in pursuit of new art for his collection. It starts with a haunting painting. Then he meets the artist. Innocent Daphne Morelli is more exquisite than anything he’s ever seen. He becomes obsessed with her. It doesn’t matter that she’s a living, breathing person with her own hopes and dreams. She’ll be the perfect addition to his collection.

Wes Sullivan is a military hero with a terrible secret. Every day, it tightens its grip around his neck. So he doesn't have time for a person like Whitney. She's a spontaneous risk-taker who likes to destroy a person's routine. Forget that. Forget her. The feeling is mutual. Wes is too serious. Too controlling. Too military. And worst of all? He's her best friend's older brother. But times are tight, and she needs a roommate. Wes needs a place to live. She has the room. She can resist him. For now....

I was born into luxury and used to getting what I wanted. What I desired most, with my life in disarray, was the man who sat across from me. He was tall, dark, and handsome, but, most notably, forbidden. It made every accidental touch more sinful and every session more addictive.

The one thing that obsesses, captivates, and seduces me? Money. I'm a self-made billionaire, and running my business empire means I've got better things to do than bother with women. They can throw themselves at me all they want - I can't be tempted. Until my newest executive secretary's first day on the job. One glance at her and I forget about spreadsheets and quarterly earnings, because her curves are pure sin. Her mouth is the wickedest distraction I've ever seen.

We made a deal… one I thought I’d never make. I’m trying not to judge myself but it’s a bit shameful. Rent was due and I simply didn’t have it. I love the big city and I’ve done everything I could to make it. But after a rough few years, a break up that nearly destroyed me, and a personal issue that I just can’t talk about… I’m broke and hit rock bottom. Then there’s Graham.

Daphne Morelli is trapped in a gilded cage. She fought to escape her family, only to be caught by a billionaire. Possessive. Commanding. And determined to keep her. Emerson LeBlanc wants to own the little painter. She's become more than his obsession. She's part of his collection now. Except she's more perceptive than he'd like. Her artist's eye sees the shadows in him. She paints his pain on stretched canvas. He's determined to own her. She's determined to escape. In the end, only one of them can truly be free.

Carter Morelli had a plan when he left London: deliver the wildlife photographer and complete his secret mission. Except a lethal enemy has watched their every move. They tampered with the plane, leaving them stranded on a deserted island. And they kidnapped June Porter, the innocent photographer. In order to save her, Carter must confront the mysterious man in the jungle. Who is he? Savior or betrayer? He has no choice but to face the greatest enemy of all: the powerful feelings that draw him toward both June and the man in the jungle. Those feelings might kill them all.

I don't take no for an answer. Women are the world's most intoxicating prize, and I always win. Money? Check. Charm? Check. Looks? Double check. It's a winning combination, and I never settle. I can't even remember the last time any woman -in New York, Paris, Rome, it doesn't matter - looked me in the eye and turned me down. Until Juliet James.

My real estate empire is my life. I don't have time for women and their games. What's the point? They'll be out of my bed before they know it. Except Isabella Gabriel....

I'm in the business of hunting down and acquiring the planet's most coveted objects. Nothing thrills me more than finding and buying pieces with unbelievable value...and selling them for a massive profit. Nothing...until she bursts onto the scene. She might have the world's most tantalizing body and a smoldering look in her eyes, but she's made it clear that I have no chance. It's a challenge I can't turn down.

I'm an adrenaline junkie, always searching for my next hit. Skydiving, cliff jumping, surfing massive waves - I'll do anything to get my pulse racing. But even freediving the ocean's most deadly sinkholes pales in comparison to the rush I get when I meet Kennedy. And if there's a bet involved? I'm all in. I never turn down a challenge. Especially when the target is prim, proper, buttoned-up...and jaw-droppingly gorgeous. It's enough to make any man want to unbutton her and make her scream all night long.

Carter Morelli survived a dark childhood and dangerous missions. When he emergency lands a small aircraft on the ocean, he faces something worse: having someone depend on him. He has to keep innocent June Porter safe on the deserted island. Except they aren't alone here… A man hides among the broad leaves. He's almost feral. There are secrets in his cabin. Desire, too. Carter doesn't want to care about beautiful June. He doesn't want to care about the mysterious and sensual man who's almost part of the wilderness. But scorching chemistry draws all three of them deeper.

Blood and sweat. Bethany Lewis danced her way out of poverty. She's a world class athlete...with a debt to pay. Joshua North always gets what he wants. And the mercenary wants Bethany in his bed. He wants her beautiful little body bent to his will.

There’s no redemption for a man with his past. No future for a relationship built on stalking and kidnapping. At least, that’s what he believes. When he meets Daphne again, she’s not a piece of art. She’s a woman determined to paint a new path. For herself. For him. Except the ocean holds more than shadows. It holds danger that could ruin them both.
