Berkley I have the job of my dreams, an assistant who brings me my favorite coffee, and an apartment in the city. What more could I want? Certainly not a man. My mom spent my childhood hopping from city to city following one man or another, never thinking about her own dreams—or mine. I worked hard to control my life, and I won’t let anyone ruin it, especially not a defense attorney with a dirty mouth and bedroom eyes. Gannon With a dad like Gannon Miles, Sr., I’ve never had any control over my life. I went into law because of him, and joined his firm because it was expected of me. I need to jump ship and make my own way in life, but I just haven’t found the motivation yet to pull the trigger. At least, not until I meet Berkley Warner. She’s curvy, beautiful, and isn’t taking any of my crap. What more could I want?

Emmy I have the perfect life—at least according to my Instagram feed and my two hundred thousand followers. But when my best friend announces she's getting married, I can't help but feel like something is missing. Or someone. When my car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, a knight in a shining tow truck comes to my rescue. Nico is sexy, strong, and good with his hands, but it’s more than just a physical attraction. It's time for me to decide—do I keep living for others, or do I start living for myself? Nico After growing up in foster homes, I worked hard to create a home for myself in Juniper Creek. The problem is, I have no one to share it with. When Emilia Louann Hartigan struts into my garage, with more curves than a back country road, I know that's all about to change. I just have to convince her that I can give her an Instagram-worthy life. Or that none of that really even matters. Not if we have each other.

Lucy My teacher life is my only life. Every day I’m pleasant, logical, and respectable except for one night when I let my passions free. Now it's back to the real world, and I’m determined to leave it—and him—in the past. But that becomes impossible when he shows up at the school where I teach. Rhett Hartigan is everything I’m not. He's popular, outgoing, and a player, literally. A secret part of me wants to award his buns in those baseball pants my personal cuma sum laude. The other part of me worries—do I let fear win and stick to my boring life, or do I take a chance on love? Rhett As a pro baseball player, I’m used to living a big life. After an injury benches me for a year, I take a temporary job as a coach in my old home town. My plan is to get better and get out. But life throws me a curve ball when I discover my high school crush works at the same school. Lucy Santarosa is sweet, sexy, and has no idea her bases are loaded. When I get an unexpected offer, do I go back to my “big life” or do I try for a home run here in Fairview?
