Conrad Gaines spent his whole life being made to feel inadequate, even after he got into an elite Ivy League college and created a company worth billions. Once he accepted he would never fit in, he focused on taking down those who made his life miserable. Tiffany Boswell has always had to prove herself capable as any man. First to her professors, then to her father, and even to her brother. When she"s finally given the opportunity to co-run the family oil business, she"s determined to not let anything get in her way, especially a man like Conrad Gaines.

She"s been sent into the lair of the beast.... An exclusive interview with billionaire author Jack Bestia should be a dream assignment for Bonnie. He"s her favorite author of all time, and it could make her career. But he has a reputation for being temperamental and reclusive--and the last time they met...well, let"s just say things did not go well. Superstar author Jack Bestia has zero interest in doing an interview.

Roxane Peterson is up for auction. Well, her and her ranch. She knew it would be too much to hope for that the man who bought her would be more interested in her than in the property, and money, that came with her. But she’s been down this road before - a marriage that isn’t perfect. Her only concern now is protecting her son and making sure she keeps her independence. Boone Stryker is disillusioned and restless. Seeing a ranch, and a woman, up for auction challenges his soul and gives him a reason to live again. He risks everything he owns to win the ranch.

Called "The Preacher", Clay Stryker has lived a life as straight as a North Dakota highway.

She definitely hasn"t forgotten the man who wouldn"t back down, who refused to look the other way, and risked his life to save hers.

Fresh pasta isn’t the only specialty that takes extra time...The extra time and expense of Julie Elliot’s old-school cooking methods are worth it, but that means The Pasta Junction’s bottom line is often stretched thin - much like herself. Even during the holidays, the restaurant’s busiest season. When she carves out time in her brutal schedule to meet with Bloomingfield weatherman Lorenzo Rossi, she crushes her reaction to the tall, blue-eyed charmer quicker and harder than a clove of roasted garlic.

My favorite part of her? Her curves. Charlotte is a baker. We’re total opposites. She’s sweet and sexy. And me? I’m a ruthless detective. Still, I’m nothing if not utterly obsessed with her. She turns my world upside down. And all I want to do is pleasure her. Charlotte doesn’t think she’s worthy of my love. What she doesn’t know is that she has me. Now and forever. And I’m about to show her just how far I’d go to win her over.

This pot of gold could hold more than they bargained for.... Grand. Just grand. Clara Donovan"s failure to keep her brother from going off the rails - again - is a public spectacle. Including a handsome stranger who puts down his guitar case to help her talk Seamus down from Farthing"s tallest bridge. Everything about Danny Brady reminds Clara how many times she swore she"ll never again be that pathetic, weak woman who got taken in by a good-looking man. Especially when, the next day, she walks into a new coffee shop in her little Irish town and discovers Danny"s secret.

Owning a candy store should be a fun and delightful profession. Besides, what candy could beat Sally’s Elliot’s signature coffee chocolate fudge? None, except for the unique infusion candy she designed for Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, the signature chocolate required for the candy won’t be delivered on time. No problem. She’ll pick up the order herself.

Physics professor Rosalinda Carlisle has a secret. Seven years ago, a single night of passion with her brother’s best friend resulted in a son. She never intended for anyone to find out. Not even the boy’s father, who was, soon after, married to another woman. Except that a very single Nick MacRoberts is now back in town. Except that he’s now a professor at the same university where Rosalinda teaches. And of course, she still has a devastatingly huge crush on him.
