My life was no fairy tale. And in this kingdom called college, the rules went out the window. I’d known golden boy Theo Hunt was the one for me since we were kids. My heart was his for the taking, but I had become nothing more than the MVP of the campus king’s friend-zone. Easton Cole was a storm I couldn’t have predicted. He knocked me off my feet and stole my heart. But he was off-limits.

There's no one more off-limits to me and the Heartlands crew than the Sheriff's daughter. But once I see her, I know there's nothing I won't do to make her mine. And I know there's nothing the Sheriff won't do to stop me. Everyone has always seen me as an outlaw. A criminal. A thief. But she doesn't. She sees the big heart under my tough exterior. She sees the man I could be. I want to be that man for her, but it's hard when the beasts of my past come knocking, blood debts need to be paid, and her father wants my head on a pike. Hopefully, love is stronger than bullets.

The last thing that I want to be doing is tutoring Cameron Sawyer. When he asked for my help, I tried to resist, but tutoring another student would look good on my application for med school. That’s all he is—a means to an end. However, the more time that we spend together, the harder it is to ignore his charm. Cam is starting to grow on me, but I can’t get involved with him. We want two different things out of life; we’re on two separate paths. Our dreams can’t coexist and neither can our hearts. Even if they keep playing offsides.

When Greg Svensson crossed my path four years ago, I should have just let him keep on walking...right into the street to get hit by a bus. But I was weak. Not to mention that when you’re a six-foot-tall woman and meet a guy out in the wild who is both taller than you and attracted to you, you make certain allowances. You ignore certain red flags.

I'm only in this small Montana town until the mechanic fixes my car. That's my plan, but apparently, the muscular, naked guy outside has a different plan for me. His dark eyes are full of possession as he stares down at me like I belong to him. It's like I fell into an alternate reality. It feels like I'm inside the world of Alice in Wonderland, the porno version. He seems to be completely transfixed with my curves. And he's becoming more than a little obsessed with my body.

Transferring schools in the middle of my freshman year wasn't a part of my plan, but I won't let my smile falter. Even when I run into my best friend's older brother, the grumpy hockey player I had a crush on in high school. He threatens to break down every wall I've barricaded myself behind, but I can't let him in. Not when I know that he'll only break my heart. He claims he doesn't have feelings for me, so I'm left with no choice but to move on from the fantasy land I've been living inside my head. But as soon as I meet another guy, Sterling Barrett has other plans.

During the season of love and thankfulness, JT and Madison are about to discover a future that is sweeter than sugar.

After experiencing a nasty break-up during my freshman year, there is one type of guy that I refuse to get involved with: anyone from the university’s hockey team. Hayden King is arrogant and has a reputation for being a playboy. There isn’t a single thing about him that I like. Then one drunken summer night turns into a bad decision with Hayden, one that I swear I’ll never make again. But once senior year starts, I can’t seem to get away from him. He’s everywhere I go, everywhere I turn. He’s under my skin and I find myself making mistake after mistake with him.

The last thing I expected was to find my boyfriend in bed with one of my best friends. Their betrayal sent me on the next flight back to my hometown in Vermont. The plan was to take the summer to find myself. No dating and no distractions. But when my brother's roommate asks me to come to Canada with him for the summer, I find myself saying yes. I've never been one to turn down an adventure, and how could I possibly deny Simon Murray with those steel gray eyes and dimples he has?

Divorced single mom Rae Wilkinson hopes her new home will be the fresh start she needs. After all, the small Wisconsin town has a lot to offer—good schools, outdoor fun, and friendly neighbors. Well, all but one neighbor. Dean Caldwell is a bit of a grump. Or, he is to Rae, the beautiful woman who moves in next door with her young daughter. There’s nothing but tension between Dean and Rae after her arrival. She’s sweet and endearing; he’s nothing but a grouch.

One night. One time. No last names. Max, teaching me everything he knows here. And everything he knows there too. Because the man who rocked my world isn't just an anonymous hookup: he's my new professor.

It’s been five years since Andi McDermott lost her husband, and she's finally starting to feel like herself again, ready to live fully—she’s even started dating again. But when her holiday plans with her stepson and his fiancée fall through, she refuses to spend another Christmas alone while everyone is celebrating with their families. Impulsively, she decides to go up to her cabin in Lake Arrowhead, a place she used to love to visit but hadn’t gone to in years, not since the feud started between her husband and their nearest neighbor.

She’s a hopeless romantic...for everyone but herself. Can the least romantic man alive convince her love isn’t just for other people? Willow: There are certain expectations when you’re born into a multigenerational family of matchmakers, which is why I fled my hometown and tried to build a life of my own. But it turns out matchmaking is hard to quit, and I can’t stop trying to match the customers at the bakery I manage - including my boss and the tea shop owner next door - even though I’m hopeless at love.

I didn’t have a lot, but what I had I was proud of. I was raised to keep my head down and work hard. I followed the rules, rarely straying off the straight and narrow path. That’s why, when the opportunity to get wild and have a little fun presented itself, I jumped on it - or more like, on him. The handsome cowboy from the bar. It was one night in Vegas. I never expected to see him again. I definitely never imagined he’d show up in my small hometown seven years later, only to discover the daughter he never knew about.

The only thing we have in common is that we’re both tall. He wears bespoke suits; I wear flats with holes in them. He runs a big shot investment firm; I’m trying to start my own company with only bubble gum and circus peanuts. He likes to show up at my horrible dates and ruin them; I…pretended I hated when he did that but secretly was thrilled even though it was a little young adult fiction.

I’m not what you’d call a man you take home to momma. I’m too rough, too mean, too...beardy. Especially compared to the woman who’s recently moved back home to open a restaurant. The one I can’t stop thinking about. I’d eat anything off her menu, spend every waking moment in her kitchen, even if I’m all wrong for her. But when a motorcycle club comes to snatch her away on the orders of someone she trusts, I’m the only one who can step in to keep her safe. The only one willing to fight to the death to keep her heart beating - especially if it beats for mine.

"It's our dance, Rose." Seated in the old maid row at the country dance, Rose Laura Corey freezes at the sound of that familiar male voice...the voice of the man she once loved, the voice of the man she sent to prison. Now orphaned and alone, Rose raises the finest horses in Presidio County, Texas. Someone is stealing those horses, and Thorn Maxwell’s return arouses her suspicions...and her long-simmering passions.

I never wanted the limelight. The only thing I wanted was Conley Logan. When words failed to express my feelings for Conley, I relied on music instead. But our love song ended before it even began - before I’d even told her how I truly felt. As a result, I watched Conley leave hand-in-hand with my bandmate instead of me. Not wanting the fight that would break up the band, I made a choice. I lived with it every day, knowing it was nobody’s fault but my own. I’ve moved on. I’m content with my small-town life, running a bar. But now Conley is back, forcing me to face the music.

Erin is tired of being safe and boring. A nice girl. When she gets dumped, she starts using matchmaker Luxxor Limited - not realizing that the company is truly an escort service. Her dates turn out to be fun and exciting, but she gets more than she bargained for when Luxxor sets her up with Colton King. Her big brother’s best friend. Erin has always lusted for Colt. Dark, muscled, and brooding, he was her first teenage crush. He’s just never taken notice of her before. She has his attention now.
