The rules were simple. Protect the woman I love. And try to stop loving her along the way. Kane Montgomery Carr and Phoebe Dixon's romance went from a fiery temptation to a fizzled out heartbreak. Only Kane has no idea why. All he knows is that he has to keep her safe when a stalker sets Phoebe in their sights. Yet as the two of them are forced once again into each other's lives, the truth behind their breakup surfaces and they are forced to face the facts: the feelings and heat they buried aren't quite as gone as they'd like. If they give in, they'll have to face the demons that broke them up in the first place-including a startling secret that shocks them both. Yet if they don't, they might lose the chance of a life time. That is, of course, if they can survive what lurks in the shadows for them both.

A single drunken night changed everything. One positive test later, and I'm not only pregnant with my best friend's baby, but I'm falling for him too. Except when my ex finds out at work, I do the worst thing I could at that moment: I lie. I make up a fake fianc and my boss overhears. Now I need my best friend to play the part. He's good at it, too, since we can't keep our hands off each other. When we're both forced to lean on each other, we'll have to face facts. There's nothing fake about this relationship. Even if I'll break my heart in the process.

The first time he kissed me, we kept it a secret. Tanner and I have been at each other's throats ever since. The second time he kissed me, I told myself not to fall. I should have known something burned beneath the surface and I couldn't resist him. The third time led to something more and now one positive test later, neither one of us can walk away. Only when his past sheds light on every difference we've chosen to ignore, we'll have to fight for each other, or lose everything before we've even had a chance.

A rebound isn't supposed to last. Though, sometimes, fate has other ideas in this opposites attract, friends with benefits romance. It wasn't supposed to happen this way. Mackenzie Thomas started planning her future at the age of six. She knew the college she wanted, the career she needed, and the boy she would marry. Only he wasn't supposed to break up with her in such a spectacular fashion. Now, she's tossing her planner and breaking her rules. First up: Pacey Ziglar. Mackenzie wants one night of fun. One night to toss out all inhibitions with the sexy Brit across the hall. Too bad she fell for her rebound along the way.

A one-night stand is supposed to end once the sun rises. Only it doesn't always work out that way in this opposites attract and tortured hero romance. Elise Hoover never expected this. She didn't want to go to another party, but when her friend pulls her in, she somehow finds herself hiding in a corner with...him. Dillon Connolly. The smirking, so-called good guy with the shadows in his eyes. A single glance, a sweet smile, and she lets herself have one night of giving in. Only she has to promise herself not to fall in love. No matter the cost.

What happens when you fall for your best friend, but they fall in love with someone else? Nothing is what it seems in this unrequited love, new adult romance. Miles knew Nessa never had eyes for him. Only when someone new tries to hurt her, he knows he can't stand back any longer. It's time she finds out the man he is behind the glasses and beneath the shell he wrapped himself in. But now he has to hope that once she sees the real him, she'll stay. Because he doesn't want to let go, even if someone else tries to make that choice for them both.

The Montgomery Ink Legacy series continues with a workplace fling romance that starts off with a literal bang. Daisy Montgomery Knight is about to meet her match when it comes to Hugh Hendrix. One look across the aisle at a wedding and I fell in lust. He's on the bride's side. I'm on the groom's. But by the end of the night, we're against a wall, over a table...and in bed. I'm prepared never to see him again except in my memories. Only the next week things become awkward: I'm his new boss. And it turns out he's just as demanding outside of the sheets as beneath them. We need to stay away from each other-he has his demons, as well as an adorable little girl, and I'm trying to heal after a job gone wrong. I know I need to walk away...even if neither one of us wants to.

A new town. A new bar. A new life. At least, that's what I'm hoping for. I moved to Denver to try to piece my family back together, but I have no idea how to do that. Then the most beautiful woman I've ever seen walks into my bar, and I think things are looking up. She needs a fake boyfriend for the night and I'm all too eager to play along. But when the sun rises, reality settles in and I know I want more. Only I don't think she's ready for what I have to give. I want to be more than a good time, but I know what I'm good for. I need control. And she's far too innocent. Only when something happens that changes the rules, we'll have to make a choice quickly, or we could lose everything before it even starts.

I was ready to say, 'I do', then my fianc left me at the altar. Broken and embarrassed, Trace and Elliot helped me run away-ditching my wedding dress in the process. When I come back to the Wilder Retreat to show the world I'm no longer hurting, I know I must ignore my traitorous needs when it comes to these two men. Because my body wants them both. And my soul craves them just as much. I know I can't choose, and part of me asks why I should. Only when we decide to take that chance and share everything, the danger from our pasts refuses to let our choice stand. With one kiss, one dance into temptation, we could lose everything. Including our lives.
