Wade Abbott is one and done--one look, one conversation, one weekend, and he knows who he wants. Except, Mia Simpson is not free to return his affection. In fact, he suspects she's in an abusive marriage, but she never confirms that, and he has no choice but to mind his own business where she's concerned. Two hears after they first met and a year after he last heard from her, Mia shows up half-frozen, bruised and beaten on his doorstep, needing something only Wade can provide. Mia has never forgotten the kind, gentle, sexy guy who made her heart sing from the first time she met him. She only cut off contact with him because she feared for his safety--and hers--and takes the first opportunity she gets to make a run for what she really wants--Wade. But nothing is ever as simple as happily ever after. With issues from her past still haunting them, and Wade's family questioning the motives of a woman they've never met, Wade and Mia will have to fight for their happy ending. Wade Abbott's long-awaited story is finally here, along with an update on the Abbott and Coleman clan as well as Fred the moose Reading Order for Green Mountain/Butler, Vermont SeriesGreen Mountain SeriesBook 1: All You Need Is Love (Will & Cameron)Book 2: I Want to Hold Your Hand (Hannah & Nolan)Book 3: I Saw Her Standing There (Colton & Lucy)Book 4: And I Love Her (Hunter & Megan)Novella: You'll Be Mine (Will & Cameron's Wedding)Book 5: It's Only Love (Ella & Gavin)Book 6: Ain't She Sweet (Charley & Tyler) Butler, Vermont SeriesBook 1: Every Little Thing (Grayson & Emma)Book 2: Can't Buy Me Love (Patrick & Mary)Book 3: Here Comes the Sun (Wade & Mia)Book 4: Till There Was You (Lucas & Danielle)

Until he attends the wedding of his friend and business partner Flynn Godfrey and meets Aileen Gifford, the close friend of Flynn's new wife, Natalie. Since meeting Aileen five months ago, Kristian's carefully cultivated life has changed in ways he never could've expected. Now Aileen and her children are moving to Los Angeles, and he's not sure whether to be excited or terrified about his powerful feelings for the single mom... Aileen is coming off the worst year of her life, spent battling breast cancer while taking care of two young children. When Natalie, Flynn and their other friends encourage Aileen to move to LA and work for Quantum, she jumps at the chance to give her family a fresh start.

Until everyone shows up to welcome her and the kids to their new home in LA--except Kristian. He can't avoid her forever, and when these two finally see each other again, sparks fly between the single mom and the producer with a past he's kept hidden from everyone who matters to him.

She drives him crazy... In more ways than one. Every time Leah Holt encounters Quantum Production's chief counsel, Emmett Burke, the only thing she can think of is how much she wants to lick him. Everywhere. She's never had that kind of reaction to a man, and the fact that he's a much-older colleague makes her out-of-control attraction to him far more complicated than it should be. Every day, she brings a new legal question to Emmett, hoping to catch his attention and make him see her as a grown woman who wants him desperately. She walks a fine line in trying to remain professional as the assistant to superstar Marlowe Sloane while lusting after Marlowe's sexy attorney. To Emmett, Leah is a fly buzzing around his head who can't be swatted away. She's always there, looking at him, asking him legal questions that have nothing to do with his specialty in entertainment law and generally driving him mad with her overt sexiness and sassy mouth. He wants to toss her over his desk and run the sass right out of her, which is hardly the way a professional who loves his job should behave in the office--especially with a young, fresh, sexy colleague. As the author of the company's policy on inter-office dating, he's painfully aware of all the reasons he should stay far, far away from her and the tantalizing temptation she represents. Then Leah gets her chance to step up for Emmett, to help him through an unfortunate "accident" and to show him she's much more than just a smart mouth and a sexy body. When she realizes she has genuine feelings for him--and that those feelings are returned--she wonders if he will take a chance on her or continue to hold her at arm's length. Slowly but surely, she chips away at his resistance, and he begins to crave more of her. But Emmett knows if he's going to let her in, he has to let her all the way in. What will she think when he introduces her to his BDSM lifestyle? Will she still want him the way she does now or will she run away in horror? And what will he do if she runs away? When Leah confronts a dangerous threat from her past, Emmett is forced to acknowledge that his "annoying little fly" has worked her way firmly into his heart--and his bed. Also, join the entire Quantum team at the company's vineyard in Napa for Hayden and Addie's wedding
