This friendship is about to go off the charts…
When my life goes up in flames, the last thing I expect is to become a glorified babysitter for a rowdy rock and roll band. But Noah James isn’t your typical entitled and reckless rockstar—he’s my best friend. The person who’s always been there to catch me when I fall.
Of course, there was that incident involving him, a public fountain, nudity, and a spontaneous rock anthem. Let’s tuck that little gem away for now, shall we?
When the label threatens to yank Noah from his tour, he pleads with me to be his voice of reason on the road. And how could I say no? I’ve been doing it since we were kids—a seasoned pro. Besides, he swears we’ll have a blast, and right now? Fun is what I need.
But here’s the kicker: one steamy night changes everything, and suddenly the status quo that we agreed on—that tomorrow will be the same as yesterday—goes up in smoke. Now we’re left trying to find a new rhythm to our friendship.
As the tour continues and my feelings grow louder, my heart yearns for an encore. Noah is playful, mischievous, and so damn fun. And our banter? Off the charts. But losing Noah is not an option. Not when I’ve already lost everything else. With his sweet crooning and flirty teasing? He’s making it awfully hard.
And when my feelings start singing a ballad that could rival any chart-topper? I realize I’m in trouble.
When a bad girl tries to go good…
Home is where they never let you forget who you were. And me? I was the wicked witch of Clear Lake. But that was ten years ago, and today is a new chapter.
When my life spirals unexpectedly, I have no choice but to return to the small town where I grew up. I’m not exactly greeted with open arms, but I’m not back to make friends, anyway.
With no place to call my own, no job to rely on, and a bank account that's seen better days, I'm left with one mission: endure six weeks with my even wickeder mother until I can access my trust fund. Simple, right?
But just when I think I’ve hit rock bottom, fate delivers the ultimate punchline. I find myself stranded and needing help from a town filled with people who don’t want to give it.
Then he enters the scene—Reed Watkins, the quiet, introverted boy from my past who’s transformed into a man I couldn’t plan for. I never thought I’d need his help, but life has a funny way of surprising you. Reed becomes my ally on the path to redemption.
But I’m a girl with a reputation—the villain in everyone’s story. Girls like me? We don’t get fairy tale endings. But Reed’s the plot twist I never saw coming, and with his help, I wonder if I can rewrite my story.
Liar, liar, he lights my pants on fire…
It all started with a lie and an omission on the tail end of a bad day.
One year ago, I left my past behind, desperate to shed an identity I no longer want. So sometimes? I’m *cough* not exactly honest about it.
Ahem.
When my best friend suggests a blind setup to turn my terrible night into a celebration of my newfound independence, I hesitate. But only for a moment.
I was looking for a night of freedom, but I never anticipated that blind setup would lead me straight into the arms of the wrong guy.
Really.
Because that brooding, angsty, and dangerously alluring man? He’s not my blind setup. As I lied about my identity, he omitted to tell me he was hiding his own.
Our one-night stand leaves us consumed by an overwhelming obsession with one another. But secrets have a way of surfacing. Especially when he offers me a job at his club.
I can’t deny the pull of a man like Ezra. He can’t stay away either–no matter how much we taunt one another.
Amidst the tangle of deception, can we find truth in our feelings?
Surf’s up, and so is something else…
I thought moving to San Francisco would be my ticket to freedom, away from the watchful eyes of my well-meaning but overprotective family—especially my big brother. I’m all grown up now. Independent. Capable.
And maybe a teensy bit of a control freak.
Pushing past my limits, I snag a job at a surf shop despite my fear of the water. But when trouble finds me one night, the only person who comes to my rescue is the last man I want to call—Ty, my brother’s best friend.
He could have exposed my mishap, tattled on me, and proved I couldn’t be left on my own. But he didn’t. He continues helping me instead, offering to teach me to surf. I’m afraid of the water, but I’m about to learn what it means to get wet.
Ty’s deliciously handsome. Smart. A perfectionist like me. Deadly serious about his career, but casual about women. And though I’m out of my depth, I propose we dive into a simple, sizzling summer fling.
And we won’t tell my brother.
We agree to have fun, and that’s how I intend to keep it. My brother wouldn’t approve of my becoming a casualty in Ty’s dating life, and I won’t compromise their friendship.
As the summer heats up, I discover just how deep Ty is willing to dive. Can I keep my head above water, or will I drown in desire?
I may be his best friend’s little sister, but we’re about to get carried away in something neither of us expected.
From feud to forever with my brother’s best friend…
Jason Clovely is my brother’s best friend and my former tormentor, and just my luck—he’s in Windmere for the holidays at the same time as me. It’s been ten years since I’ve seen him, and surely we’ve grown up since then.
Right?
When we unexpectedly end up stuck in a cabin together—cue all the cliches—we make a truce to act like adults in our forced cohabitation. And let me tell you. We did some very adult things. The lines between animosity and attraction become blurred, and the person who used to be my enemy turns out to be someone I want to spend time with.
We decide to continue our ceasefire while we’re in town, and to my surprise, we’re having an amazing time together. Worse, I’m dreading the inevitable goodbye when we return to our lives outside of Windmere—separately.
But Jason’s been holding something back, and it’s something that might crumble not only our fragile truce, but my heart as well.
Past sparks or present flames? Sometimes, you don’t have to choose…
My future is neatly planned, and it belongs to Jake Lauder, my steadfast love since high school. But when Beau Dalton breezes back into our small town, it sets off a chain reaction that threatens to ignite us all.
Because Beau isn’t just my former flame—he’s Jake’s lifelong heated rival.
Beau’s return sparks more than just old memories when he and Jake are forced to work together. Their simmering history of competition reaches a boiling point when they both set their sights on the one thing they desire most: me.
And I want both of them.
Can I have two larger-than-life men without getting burned in a small town where gossip spreads like wildfire? The hardest choices can lead to the most unexpected outcomes… because sometimes you can have it all in matters of the heart.
A second chance at first love…
Ten years ago, Maddie Sheffield had her life planned out: college, career, marriage, kids, happily ever after. But a blueprint doesn’t include all the detours life can throw at you. When Maddie’s twin brother gets engaged and announces he’s invited Wes to Montlake to be his best man, Maddie realizes just how off track her life is.

Wes gave up on the idea of getting Maddie, but his heart never gave up his feelings for her. So the opportunity to be reunited with her? He has to take it.
Maddie’s plans blew up once. It’s not often life offers a do-over. Circumstances pulled them apart. Will love bring them back together?
