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.

Holden James was my everything—my first love, my future, or so I thought. When he left after our high school graduation, he shattered my heart, and I promised myself I'd never look back. Now, he's returned to Lilac Harbor, acting like he can waltz back into my life as if nothing happened. He says he can explain, but I won't listen. I'm stronger now, smarter. I'm not the girl who once believed in forever with him. He broke me once, and I'll be damned if I let him do it again.

I made a mistake buying this house. It needs work, more than I am capable of, and I can’t afford to hire anyone. I figure that I’m screwed… until my neighbor offers me a deal. He’ll do the renovations, if I pretend to be his girlfriend for Thanksgiving with his family.

I might be a little bit crazy. I mean, I think jumping out of planes is fun, so there must be something a little off with me, but I’ve got nothing on Quinn Walder. She rear-ends me and then asks me to be her boyfriend.

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.

This binge-worthy romance collection is packed with grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, protective heroes, and curvy heroines who refuse to let these rugged men stay lonely for long. They swear they don’t want love, but in Wolf Valley? The grumps always fall first.

Back in the city, owning a car was optional. Here in the small town of Wolf Valley, though, where snowstorms hit at a moment’s notice, driving is a survival skill. Too bad I never learned. I could have kept my little secret, but then I accidentally confessed it to the grumpiest, broad-shouldered, ridiculously handsome man in town. Now Kian is teaching me to drive in the most secretive late-night lessons ever, and every time he growls “eyes on the road,” all I can think about is him.

I’m in trouble. I’m scrambling to pay my bills and keep my grandmother’s house from being taken by the bank. I’ve tried everything that I can think of, and now I’m desperate. So, I make a post advertising for a roommate. None of the people who contact me seem like a good fit. Until Ledger.

We were always meant to be more than just friends. I’ve been best friends with Foster since I was a kid. I’ve been in love with him for just as long. We’ve always been close. Just not as close as I’d have liked....

Bianca St. Pierre has a problem. She's afraid of commitment. She's been trying to find her knight in shining armor. Instead, she winds up with a stalker. Bryson Thatcher just might be the solution.

Adeline Monroe is ready for more. Her life has been on pause but not anymore. She wants to experience things. She wants a new routine. She wants to find her happily ever after. Lincoln Hook is ready for love. One look at Adeline and he’s hooked. He craves her spirit, enthusiasm, and love. Now he just needs to convince Adeline that they’re meant to be.

Theo tied the score today. It's okay though. I've got big plans for tomorrow to pull into the lead once again. He's not going to know what hit him. He probably doesn't even realize that I'm keeping track of all of our verbal sparring and ranking who wins each. Every interaction is carefully scored, but he's too wrapped up in work to notice me scribbling in my notebook every day. I don't know what it is about him, but I can't seem to help myself around him. He brings out the worst in me. Or maybe it's the best.

Her whole life Aspen has only had one person that she could count on besides herself and that was her best friend, Adeline. Growing up in the foster system together gave them a close bond and when they both turned eighteen, they left the group home for a cramped apartment. When Adeline is diagnosed with a brain tumor and they can’t afford the surgery, Aspen is terrified of losing the only family she’s ever known. Then Roman and Flynn make her an offer. They'll give her the money to cover her friend’s surgery and save her life in exchange for one night with her.

I have a problem, a big one, and just like all of my other problems, it has to do with Adrien Davenport. I've been trying to keep Boss Man at arm's length since I started working for him, and I thought I had a handle on it, but I really messed up today. I kissed him. Don't even say it, diary. I know that it was the dumbest thing that I could possibly do, but it was an emergency!

I fell in love with Dillon Matthews the moment that I saw her. We were only kids then, but I knew that she was meant to be mine. I used to follow her around like a puppy dog, begging for scraps. I was always too shy to make a move. Then we graduated and went our separate ways.

When I first meet Aria Clipton, she’s just meant to be a client. Her mom passed away, and her final wish was for Aria to step outside of her comfort zone more. She doesn’t want to do it alone, so she’s hiring me to keep her safe while she does everything on her bucket list.

Fallen Peak was supposed to be my chance to live my own life. I've been trapped under my parent's careful watch for my entire life and I'm ready to make my own decisions, maybe even make a few mistakes. Like sleeping with Whit Romer. Except sleeping with him is starting to feel less like a mistake and more like the best decision of my life.

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.

This trip was supposed to be stress free. A way for me to unplug from the real world and unwind. Then he shows up. Amos Briggs. Even his name is sexy. He also booked this secluded cabin until his house is finished being built nearby. He wants me to leave, but that’s not happening. I need this. The sexy mountain man will just have to find someplace else to stay. When he suggests a competition to see who gets the cabin, I jump to agree. I’ll win this bet in a day and get back to my vacation. Except he’s more of a temptation than I anticipated.
