We were always meant to be more than just friends. I’ve been best friends with Foster since I was a kid. I’ve been in love with him for just as long. We’ve always been close. Just not as close as I’d have liked. Lilliana has always been mine. I thought that she knew that, but after an incident in high school, I wasn’t as sure. That’s why I came up with the marriage pact. When she had agreed to it, I had felt relieved. Now that the pact is almost up, I’m worried that she might have forgotten about it. Luckily for her, I’m ready to remind her and to show her just how perfect we’ll be together.

It was just supposed to be for one night... Ruby: I’ve sworn off men. Or I guess I should say that I’ve vowed to never get tangled up with a man. I’ve seen the way that they can hurt the women that they claim to love, and I want no part of it. I’ve never been tempted to break that vow. Until Ransom moves to town. When I give in to my feelings for him, it’s only supposed to be for one night. Everything is going according to plan. Until I get the surprise of my life and find out that I’m pregnant. Now I need to figure out how to tell my one-night stand that I’m having his baby. Ransom: Ruby is meant to be mine. Everyone in this small town knows it, too. Everyone except Ruby, that is. When we finally connect, I think maybe she’s realized we’re meant to be, too. Until I wake up the next morning to her long gone. Now she’s trying to pretend like nothing happened between us, but I’m not going to let that happen. I’m going to show her that I want her for more than one night. I want her forever.

It was just supposed to be a business deal... Vera When my parents died and left me the wolf sanctuary in Wolf Valley, it was a dream come true for me. Then I started looking at the finances and realized just how screwed I was. The sanctuary is losing money, a lot of money, and I need to come up with some cash fast in order to save it. When some hot-shot billionaire shows up in town, I'm not sure what to expect. Our first meeting is magical. I've never felt that way about anyone before. It was just an instant connection. Then I find out that he's here to buy the sanctuary. My attraction to him is strong, but there's no way that I'm selling the land to him. I just need to be strong and keep my distance from him. Fisher I've done a hundred business deals over the last few years, so this one should be easy. Then I get to Wolf Valley and hit my first snag. Vera Wright. One look at her and I forget all about buying land and opening my new resort. I don't care about business anymore. I just want her heart. Too bad for me, Vera doesn't trust me. Now I need to figure out a way to win my girl over and make her mine forever. This is the most important deal I've ever done and I'm not about to mess it up.

The girl that he’s always loved just asked him to be her boyfriend. Her fake boyfriend. Cameron Life in a small town can suck. Everyone knows everyone else’s business and it can feel like there are no secrets. I’ve managed to keep one though. I’m in love with Ford Miller. I have been since I was a kid, but I never knew how he felt so I kept it to myself. When I started to work for him, keeping that secret became harder. Then my grandma comes back to town, determined to set me up with someone. I know she’s just worried about me, but that doesn’t mean I want her playing matchmaker. So, I come up with a plan. Now, I just need to convince Ford to go along with it. Ford I’ve been pining for Cameron since we were kids, but she’s always kept me at arm’s length. When she comes to me looking for a job, I’m happy to give her one. I also hope that maybe she’ll finally let down her guard and realize that we’re meant to be. It’s been months now though and we’re still just friends. Until one day she comes to me and asks me to pretend to date her. She says that it will just be for a week or two until her grandma leaves, and because I can’t say no to her, I agree. Then it hits me. This is my chance. Now I just need to show my dream girl that we’re meant to be together. For real.

She thinks it’s an arranged marriage. He knows it’s the real deal. Lilou I never thought that I would fall in love or get married. Not after watching my mom’s marriages fail and being there to help her pick up the pieces afterward. I had sworn off men, which was easy because no man had ever tempted me before. Not until Milo. He makes me want to try. I almost give in to my feelings when tragedy strikes, and I’m forced to sell the only thing that I have. Myself. Milo When I find out that Lilou needs money and is looking into arranged marriages, I freak out. I know that she’s meant to be mine, and I’m not about to lose her before I have a chance to prove that to her. So, I pay to be her husband. She seems shocked when she finds out, but I’m thrilled. I have my dream girl right where I want her. Now I just need to make her mine. For real.

I have my first-ever crush…on my boss. I’ve spent my entire life thinking that there’s something wrong with me because I was never like the other girls my age. I never had crushes or dated growing up. I've never even been interested in anyone. Until him. Kye Lightfield. He’s brooding, moody, and way out of my league. Oh, and he’s also my new boss. Sienna is perfect. She’s gorgeous and funny and always looks on the bright side. She’s my exact opposite and way out of my league. That doesn’t stop me from wanting her, from needing her. So, I do what any sane man with no social skills would do and offer her a job. I want to keep her close and be around her sunny personality. And maybe, just maybe, I can convince her to be mine.
