For single mum Maggie, Christmas has always been a family occasion – her daughter Ellen filling the house with her bubbly warmth and mistletoe, her dad Paddy having one too many festive tipples, and the traditional family Christmas tree looking like a drunken elf vomited a rainbow all over it. But this year, with both Ellen and Paddy away for the holidays, Maggie’s facing a truly blue Christmas – alone with nothing but a bottle of Baileys and an M&S turkey dinner.
He’d waited sixteen years to come home, and the minute Dylan Howard stepped back into Ryker Falls, he knew it was a mistake. First, there was the smart mouthed brunette who’d taken a piece out of him for his attitude, which was the same as it had always been to be fair. Cold and emotionless. Then there were his two sisters who he didn’t know, and thought he didn’t want to know, but now it turns out he’s suddenly filled with this familial longing. It’s enough to drive a man to a drink. As an FBI profiler, he saw bad stuff daily, and dealt with it. But this emotional mind field is something he’s not used to, and throw in a loud-mouthed, hot brunette, and he’s pretty sure this visit will be over before it started.
Four years ago, he was my everything. My mentor. My lover. My future. Until scandal tore us apart. Now, Dr. Ethan Mathews is back in my life. Brilliant physician. Silver fox. Forbidden temptation. And my new colleague at Mountain View Medical Center. I thought I’d moved on, built a new life. But one smoldering look, and I’m right back where I started.

Gabriella – Gabby for short – desperately needs a holiday. She’s worked way too hard, just lost her father and wants a break. From everything. She books a stay at a picturesque cottage by the sea. No phone, no internet, no neighbors – just books, a bottle of wine and the beach. A month without distraction and a chance to find herself again. Until a hunk of a guy suddenly shows up catching her sunbathing in her birthday suit. The man is hot as sin. Jake Wolfe is cocky and stubborn too.
What’s more humiliating than the walk of shame? Walking into your new job… Locking eyes with the dominating stranger. And realizing he’s your boss. Lev Ivanov. Dark. Commanding. The most irresistible silver fox I’ve ever seen. After rescuing me from a sketchy situation, He didn’t just suggest dinner—he demanded it. Curiosity won over caution, and that night became the most passionate of my life. By morning, he was gone. Fast forward to today: I choke on my coffee as I spot Lev in the CEO’s office. Turns out, he’s not just my boss… He’s a mob boss. Then, two life-changing revelations hit: “You’re having a baby,” says the doctor. “We’re getting married,” says Lev. And one thing about Lev… He doesn’t ask. He commands.
He’s a player. She has no intention of getting played. But the rules of this game change everything. Tess Stanton is marking things off her bucket list. A trip to Alaska should be fun. Except her jerk of an ex left her in a cranky mood. Nathan Winters—a way too handsome and charming guide—is disarmingly distracting.
They say doctors play God. I just played with fire. He’s my dad’s best friend. My new boss. And now my fake husband…
Not everyone knows about The Club, which is by design. The main floor entertains the elite. There are dim lights, stolen touches and the liquor flows to ensure the guests get exactly what they want. There are high profile clients, cuffs and collars, contracts and secrets in every corner. But it’s what lies beneath these floors, down the spiral staircase, that intrigues me the most.
He’s my billionaire boss. The arrogant grump who shouldn’t even know I exist. And the man who just gave me an offer I can’t refuse.
