Stolen Kisses
2025
Chase
I’m a no-nonsense man. As the head of a business empire, I have to be. I’m logical, cut-throat, and don’t believe in cheesy things like marriage and happy ever afters. But when my best friend asks me to be Best Man, I can't say no.
En route to the wedding, I get stuck at the airport when my flight is delayed, and this obnoxious woman sits next to me. Not only does she keep drinking champagne even though she obviously can’t hold her liquor, but she seems determined to push every single one of my buttons.
To my intense surprise, she turns out to be the bride’s sister and the Maid of Honor.
But that’s not a problem. I can behave for a weekend.
After all, my restraint and self-control are legendary in the business world. And I have absolutely no intention, whatsoever, of falling in love.
Hannah
I’m a romantic. Even though my divorcee heart is still bleeding, I’m happy for my sister. I’m determined to enjoy the weekend.
If only the Best Man wouldn't be so completely intolerable and unnervingly handsome at the same time.
One sensual dance and a stolen kiss later, I realize that there is more to Chase Sterling than the grumpy man I first met at the airport.
After the wedding, I’m certain I won’t see Chase again. I’ve got enough on my plate anyway, trying to save the inn I inherited from my grandmother. But when Chase shows up on my doorstep with a proposition I can’t turn down, things begin to get crazy. He wants me to work for him.
Will I manage to see this grump as my boss and forget all about our stolen kisses?
Time will tell. But judging by the seductive smile he gives me as he welcomes me in, I think not...

Forbidden Kisses
2025
Duncan Sterling needs to hire a nanny. And fast.
When I'm not making my son waffles for breakfast or teaching him how to swim, I am running a billion-dollar business. My life is scheduled to the minute, and that’s the way it has to be. So, when my nanny unexpectedly quits, I need to find a replacement ASAP.
Riley is not what I expected. She's so damn attractive—and funny—not nanny material at all. But seeing her with Jeremy makes me realize she's exactly who he needs. I just have to burn into my brain that she's totally off limits.
It's been my son and me for years, ever since his mother left us. And from that point on, I've sworn to myself that I wouldn't bring another woman into Jeremy's life. Why confuse the poor kid with someone else that will probably leave? Nope. No dating at all! That’s worked well until now.
But the more time I spend with Riley, the more I realize she's exactly what I need too.
