Brexly Vos just has to finish one more semester and she’ll have her degree. Then she can start her own business and finally help out her parents. All that stands between her and her bright future is a film class. She's at a loss for a subject when she remembers the local lore that Bigfoot lives in the woods bordering campus. She doesn't really believe the legend but she figures it will be an interesting subject and easy enough to film.

It's a running joke that she can never make up her mind on anything, and she'd be the first to admit that she has a hard time making decisions or trusting her gut. The only thing she's ever been sure of is that she and Milo Colt are soulmates. Or so she thinks. When he breaks up with her out of the blue, she's heartbroken. She gets a little bit tipsy and decides that what she needs is a vacation. She thought she had found the perfect man, a unicorn if you will, but now that she knows that's a lie, she's determined to go out and find herself a real soulmate.

Her mom, unable to support them both, had kicked her out when she turned 18, and she’s been bouncing from town to town and job to job for a few years until she finally lands in the tiny town of Thorp, Washington. She’s trying to stay positive, but she’s run out of money, has nowhere to live, and no real options. She’s so desperate that she applies to any job that she can find that’s hiring and finally gets an interview at Stratton Lumber.

Nico Miller is the quiet, silent type. With 10 years of experience, he’s probably the best artist at the shop. He's a giant at 6'8" and built like a linebacker with tattoos covering his neck and torso. Most people are a little afraid of him when they first meet him, but it doesn’t take long to see that while he might look scary, with his almost permanent frown, tattoos, and size, he was actually a giant teddy bear.

Zeke Miller is the owner of Eye Candy Ink and the father figure to everyone at the shop. An only child who had to grow up far too young, he’s always felt protective of those he loves. He’s spent years building Eye Candy Ink into what it is today. While others dated and settled down, he worked, honing his skills until he’s one of the best and most sought after tattoo artists in the world. At 36, he thinks his time to meet someone has passed and he’s resigned to being happy with the family that he’s found at his shop.

Sam Kavan has grown up learning to be tough, at least on the outside. Raised by her dad and two brothers, she’s always seemed to fit in more as one of the guys. Maybe that’s why she's seen as either one of the boys or as a little sister. When she moves to Pittsburgh and starts at Eye Candy Ink, she fits in perfectly, and soon she’s found another family in the men who work at the shop with her.

Love, romance, dating. Mischa Jennings wants no part of any of it. He’s seen up close and personal how love can ruin your life and he’s vowed to stay far away from that emotion. Armed with a set of rules to keep him safe, he’s been going through life just fine. Then Indie Hearst comes bouncing into Eye Candy Ink and turns his whole world upside down. Suddenly, he’s breaking every one of his rules, but it’s okay. He’s not even close to falling for Indie. Right?

Welcome to Eye Candy Ink.... Meet Atlas Warner. He’s the newest and youngest member at Eye Candy Ink and a talented tattoo artist.

Life in a small town can suck. Everyone knows everyone else’s business and it can feel like there are no secrets. I’ve managed to keep one though. I’m in love with Ford Miller. I have been since I was a kid, but I never knew how he felt so I kept it to myself. When I started to work for him, keeping that secret became harder. Then my grandma comes back to town, determined to set me up with someone. I know she’s just worried about me, but that doesn’t mean I want her playing matchmaker. So, I come up with a plan. Now, I just need to convince Ford to go along with it.

I’ve sworn off men. Or I guess I should say that I’ve vowed to never get tangled up with a man. I’ve seen the way that they can hurt the women that they claim to love, and I want no part of it. I’ve never been tempted to break that vow. Until Ransom moves to town. When I give in to my feelings for him, it’s only supposed to be for one night. Everything is going according to plan. Until I get the surprise of my life and find out that I’m pregnant.

When my parents died and left me the wolf sanctuary in Wolf Valley, it was a dream come true for me. Then I started looking at the finances and realized just how screwed I was. The sanctuary is losing money, a lot of money, and I need to come up with some cash fast in order to save it. When some hot shot billionaire shows up in town, I'm not sure what to expect. Our first meeting is magical. I've never felt that way about anyone before. It was just an instant connection.

When Warren moves in next door to me, I’m instantly drawn to the scarred giant. I know right away that he’s meant to be mine. Too bad for me, he’s playing hard to get.

Hunter West is trying to drive me crazy. He's too cocky, too big, and entirely too pushy. I should tell him to leave me alone but I love sparring with him. I love the way that his eyes light up when I tell him no. I think that I might love him.

Corrine James is not needed here. I've told her that, or I tried to anyway, but there's just something about the curvy home caregiver that has me biting my tongue. I don't want a live-in caregiver, though. I don't want anyone to see me struggle, but my brother is worried about me, and I know that he'll insist. When I tell her that I don’t need her, she begs me to let her stay. She needs this job, and so I cave. That's my first mistake.

When my car breaks down one night, I'm sure that I'm about to be murdered. Isn't that how most horror stories start? Instead, I'm saved by a grumpy giant. Jonah isn't much of a talker, but that's okay because I am. He lets me chatter at him as he takes me home, and when he returns with my car that he fixed the next morning, he instantly becomes my hero. Now I just need to convince him that the curvy girl he rescued is also his perfect match.

I’ve been in love with my brother’s best friend since we were kids. Anson is the only man that I’ve ever wanted. Too bad for me, he only seems to see me as his best friend’s little sister. I thought that when he left for the military, things would get easier.

Forget Prince Charming. I want my hero in plaid. I’ve always loved Beauty and the Beast. Maybe that’s why I’m so drawn to my new boss, Remington. He has the scars left over from a bad rodeo accident and the same bear-with-a-thorn-in-his-paw attitude. As I clean his home and help him out around the house, my attraction for him only grows. Sure, he answers most questions in grunts or disgruntled looks, but something about that calls to me.

You’d think that a college town would have a lot of job opportunities but that’s not the case in Sequoia. I’ve already exhausted all of the businesses in town but no one is hiring. No one but the Stud Farm.

I would do anything for my best friend so when she calls me up because her brother needs a date for a wedding, I say yes, even though I know that it’s a terrible idea. See, the thing is that I’ve been in love with Clara’s brother, Kai, for my entire life. I know that I can’t have him though. Not only is he older than me, but I would never do anything to jeopardize my friendship with Clara.

I’m Kentucky Derby royalty, and I am absolutely terrified of horses. It started after I was bucked off as a teen. I was injured, and when I left the hospital and went back home to my dad’s ranch, I refused to go anywhere near the barns or animals.
