Zoey Chandler has spent the last year quaking in her boots, scared of her shadow... and the male population in general. So when Deputy Chase Manning, her brother's best friend, moves back to their small hometown after years in a metropolitan police department, she is both wary and intrigued when she realizes he shares traumas as deeply scarring as her own. In an effort to return a semblance of safety and strength to Zoey's life, Chase makes a he wants to train her in self-defense techniques to better protect her... and her infant child. But Chase has a secret; he's been offered his own proposal, one that if he chooses to accept, could very well destroy the life Zoey has fought so hard to build.

Kasey Corcoran lives his life in the fast lane; chasing cars is his profession, and chasing women... is one of his preferred pursuits. So when he meets Shauntelle Kendall, a bombshell with a fiery temperament and an even wilder heart, she is exactly the kind of woman Kasey is compelled to chase. Fresh out of a broken engagement, Shauntelle has sworn off men, especially the cocky—though outrageously attractive—Kasey. But when they're thrust together for a family wedding at an intimate and secluded resort in the mountains of Colorado, Shaun has nowhere to hide from Kasey... or the undeniable passion he's awakened in her. Shaun has never met a man that tests her patience the way that Kasey does, and it's not long before she realizes that there is far more at risk than she anticipated by letting Kasey attempt to tame her wild heart...

Roxsanna Roberts has sworn off men entirely. She's a self-sufficient, independent woman and doesn't need any man, thank you very much. Especially when that man is Travis Hayes, the dangerously attractive MMA fighter that teaches the kickboxing class she takes for self-defense... because a restraining order is just a piece of paper. She learned that lesson the hard way. When trouble finds her in Melody Hills, she decides it's time for a Texas sized change; take her best friend up on his offer and move to Northern Michigan. As it becomes clear that her every move is being watched, she grudgingly accepts when Travis insists on escorting her on her move across the country, where she's bound and determined to start a new life. Alone. But when she and Travis get stranded in the middle of nowhere during a mid-west thunderstorm, their only option is to take refuge at a tiny motel—with only one bed—and surrender to the desire they've both been fighting against. As Roxy's guard is torn down like a straw house in a tornado, she realizes too late that she underestimated the danger coming for her... and the lengths being taken to keep her out of Travis' arms for good.
