Matthew had sworn that the disease of matrimony that was ravaging its way through his social circle would end with him. Unfortunately for him, Miss Williams seems to be determined to threaten his commitment to singlehood.

Every man of station requires a purely virginal bride, after all. He’ll forget about her soon enough.

Fifty thousand dollars in only three months? Callie needs money—fast—if she’s going to save her family’s bookstore and home. In spite of being one of the few financially-challenged students at St. Charlie High, Callie would not trade her life at St. Charlie for anything in the world. But unless she can do the impossible and raise fifty thousand dollars out of thin air, Callie and her mom will be out on the streets. Three heirs and one fortune? Money was never a problem for Everett Harrison Goldwell III, but now his grandmother is taking a hard look at Everett and his siblings and deciding which of them is worthy of inheriting the Goldwell fortune. Everett is determined it will be him, regardless of what he has to do to lose his party-boy persona. One simple solution? In return for helping him improve his image and win his inheritance, Everett offers Callie the money she needs to save the bookstore. As Callie and Everett pretend to be dating, Callie’s social life is launched from obscurity to notoriety, turning the social standings of St. Charlie upside down. One very big problem. As she spends time with Everett, Callie is surprised to find he’s not who she expected. She knows their relationship is fake, that Everett is just using her, yet she can’t help imagining what it would be like to be dating Everett for real. Falling in love with her fake boyfriend is such a bad idea…unless he returns her feelings. Will Callie be brave enough to tell Everett how she really feels? Or is she too chicken?

Two damaged hearts. One tropical vacation. That’s where our story starts… Four years ago, a tragedy left me shattered, and my life has sucked since. So, when a guy I met online suggested we meet in Hawaii for a first date, I agreed to go. It sounded like an exciting adventure. But upon arriving, my date said he couldn’t make it. As an apology, he paid for my room and said to enjoy the resort on him. Though a nice offer, it meant I’d experience paradise alone. Or would I? Somehow, I’ve met someone interesting. Cillian is a handsome and mysterious fellow resort guest. He’s also on his own for the week. I’m drawn in by the questions he asks and how he listens and wants to learn about my life. Though I like him, I sense something has Cillian stuck in his past, giving him reservations about me. Can I see what’s happening between us in just six days? I’ll soon find out…
Meet Melinda Hazen
I was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. I have a B.S. in family studies with an emphasis in child development. For most of my life, I’ve worked with students of all ages, from pre-k through high school. Photography, genealogy (especially helping adoptees find their birth parents), and Betsey Johnson accessories are a few of my many interests. Work on my novels has been done in my spare time—often late into the night. I enjoy writing romance because I can create the perfect couple who are striving to achieve their happily ever after. Everyone loves to be in love. And, to put it simply, I write books I want to read. My mornings always begin with a homemade iced latte. The remainders of my weekdays are spent either substitute teaching, going out to lunch, or working on my novels. My weekends are spent at soccer fields of varying location (I’m a soccer mom and love it), listening to psychological thrillers while on road trips, and binge-watching shows with the love of my life. Disneyland will forever be my favorite place on Earth and has provided many of my best memories with my son.

Meet Luisa Marietta Gold
Luisa Marietta Gold spent much of her adult life in Pennsylvania working for a large corporation. After her daughter was born, she relocated to North Carolina and began working as a Realtor while operating a recreational business with her husband. Her current home is near a lake reminiscent of the Rideau Lakes, which provided the setting for The Osprey Cove Lodge Series. The series was born from her love of that region of Canada, the outdoors, and lake life. Many years were spent enjoying the Rideau, staying in lodges, and for a time, her own cottage. Among her interests are swimming, painting, cooking, baking, and of course, writing and storytelling. But it’s the simple things of life that bring the most enjoyment, like the beauty of the trees outside the window of her writing room as they change with the seasons, watching the sunrise and sunset, and being entertained by her kitties as they interact and play. Many of these interests and life experiences are woven into the pages of her books.
Matilda’s ordinary life as a legal secretary is turned upside down when the mysterious Jay Fields comes into her office looking for a lawyer.

FREE FOR A LIMITED TIME! February 6th and 7th only! Investigating Mr. Hawkes was supposed to be easy. Work undercover in his office, catch him stealing company millions, then lock that Herculean himbo away and launch the key into space. I even concocted the perfect excuse for keeping him in my sights: become his sworn office rival. That’s where our mutually malicious arrangement got… complicated. I didn’t mind losing “broadest shoulders” or “fanciest car” to Samuel. I’ll even concede defeat over “best smile-wink combo without accidentally catching our boss Mr. Paterson in the crossfire.” (…I don’t want to talk about it.) But I never thought I’d lose “most fixated on everything about you.” Samuel’s obsessive one-upping is looking a lot more like obsession, period. Who’s stalking who here? And worst of all, why is it all so much fun?
Meet Katie Charm
Katie Charm was born weak, small, emotional, and unsightly. In the years since, she has undergone almost no character growth. She once hated an attractive coworker, but was never forced to share a solitary hotel bed with him. Thus, having grown weary of this world, she writes romance.
For Mandy it’s a simple question – should she use the taser or just shoot him?
Surely there can be no third option or can there be? For Mandy it seems like a death sentence when she is assigned her first duty as a police officer to serving a town so deeply buried in the mountains of West Virginia that the reality of electricity seems to have been a fairly recent development. Her new reality is one of survival in a sea of whiteness as she has no illusions that every man she meets in this wild land must still be a rebel at heart. Some prejudices are hard to let go and for her she finds that this applies not just to the townspeople, but also to her.
Meet Aedan Sayla
Up till now only half the story has been written and so now it’s time to read everything and not just what many have found acceptable. The truth and love itself are not bound by man, but are timeless and should be shared in full and so I write the whole story.
Sincerely, Aedan Sayla
