Everyone knows who the Fisher brothers are: the hottest single bartenders this side of the Santa Monica Pier. Which is exactly why when I run into Ryan Fisher one day at the beach, I intend to steer clear of him and his sexy, playboy ways. I’ve heard the rumors. I know his type. I’ve seen him in action. And I’m not interested. But Ryan has other ideas. He’s convinced that I have him all wrong. But I don’t have the luxury of making mistakes when it comes to men. Not anymore. Being a single mom does that to a woman.

Elizabeth Lyons has one rule for herself: no distractions. No distractions basically translates into no men, which definitely means hell no when it comes to Daniel Alexander. After a chance meeting at a professional function, Daniel is not interested in letting Elizabeth go. No matter how much Elizabeth tries to stay away from him, Daniel's not the kind of guy who lets something he wants walk out of his life.

Joseph Martin has been my best friend’s boss for years. So when she comes to me with this half-baked idea of me posing as Joseph’s girlfriend to help him out, I’m tempted to tell her to take a hike. But then she begs. And pleads. And says that Joseph will pay off my med school bills and … you guessed it, I cave. Even though I hate him. Even though we apparently hate each other (I’m not the one who didn’t do anything wrong, mind you). But things aren’t always how they seem, and I suddenly find myself falling for the guy I thought I couldn’t stand.

Heading off to Vail single and alone wasn’t how I planned on spending the week before Valentine’s Day, but here I am, in one of the most scenic places in the country, with nothing to do and no one to do it with. Until I meet Jase Malone. He’s adventurous, charming, and sexy as hell. It was supposed to just be one night. One night of letting go of the past and giving in to the moment. But things never quite pan out the way you think…do they?

After my mom died, I was heartbroken and devastated. She left behind a note for myself and my little sister and before we knew what hit us, we were on a plane, bound for Ireland. Mom had one last wish for us: To live our lives. To have experiences. To fall in love. I don’t think she meant for all those things to happen while we were in another country, but just when you least expect it, life throws you a curveball in the form of a Prince, who is unlike any other man you’ve ever met before.

I was engaged to my high school boyfriend, about to get married and live a life I no longer wanted. After breaking up, when he insisted that I go on our planned honeymoon anyway … alone … I wasn’t about to say no. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I’d meet someone there. I wasn’t looking for love, but it sure seemed to be looking for me—in the shape of a six-foot tall, tanned professional surfer named Diego. Our time together was filled with passion unlike anything I’d known back in my small town. I went to the North Shore one kind of woman … but I came back completely changed.

I’ve loved Dove Tryst my whole life. There wasn’t a time when I ever thought she wouldn’t be mine. Even when we hated each other, we loved each other. But now I’m sitting here alone, trying to figure out where it all went wrong and more importantly, how. She’s engaged to my enemy. Days from walking down the aisle toward a man who isn’t me. And she’s asked me to object. I know what I have to do, but I’m not sure Dove’s going to like it. Sometimes love is war and you have to fight to keep it safe.

Spending Thanksgiving trapped in a hotel with a man I can’t stand, really isn’t my idea of a good time, but that’s what’s happening anyway. I’ve hated River Santos since I first started working for the airline. I was warned to stay away from him by more than one flight attendant, my best friend included. River was your typical pilot: cocky, arrogant, and left a trail of broken hearts in his wake. At least that’s what I’d always been told. But one unprecedented snowstorm later and I find myself spending time with a guy I thought I knew, but didn’t really know at all.

Seven years ago, my boyfriend broke up with me over the phone. The worst part was, I never even saw it coming. At first, I figured he’d regret it and come racing back to me, begging for my forgiveness. But when that never happened, I realized that I needed to put Tyson Hunter behind me and move on with my life. Getting over a guy like him was easier said than done. Especially when I couldn’t seem to avoid his face. He was everywhere: on billboards, commercials, magazine covers, and movie posters. I guess that’s what happens when your ex is a famous actor.

I don’t date my clients. Being the top relocation specialist for professional athletes—a woman has to have rules. And that’s the only one I need. The only one that matters.
