Under Locke

Iris Taylor doesn’t need to be reminded of how lucky she is to have landed a job so quickly, having been unemployment for six months back home before deciding to move to Austin.

The owner of the business is a member of the very motorcycle club that her alienated father once belonged to. The only difference is that Dex Locke is quite possibly the biggest jerk she has ever come across.

Arrogant and restless, he doesn’t even know how to tell time.

The last thing they ever expected was each other.

But there were only two options: the strip club or the tattoo shop.

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me

Vanessa Mazur is convinced that quitting is the best thing for her.

Serving as an assistant, housekeeper and fairy godmother to the leading defensive end in the National Football Organization was only meant to be an interim position.

She has other plans, neither of which involves washing excessively huge underwear longer than needed.

However, the last thing that Vanessa expected was for Aiden Graves to show up at her door, pleading with her to come back—the same guy who has been ignoring her for two years.

A man accustomed to getting anything he wants, what exactly do you say to a guy like The Wall of Winnipeg?

Being an adult is one of the hardest things in the world.

Diana Casillas hasn’t got a clue what she’s doing half the time.

Growing up shouldn’t have been this hard.

Diana has nearly everything: a new house, two young boys she inherited in the most tragic of ways, a massive dog, a job she normally loves, and many friends and family.

The only thing that she doesn’t have is a boyfriend. Or a husband.

But no one needs either one of those, right?

Dear Aaron

"Sometimes, all you need is a message from a stranger."

Ruby Santos knew exactly what she was doing when she committed herself to writing to a soldier overseas.

The instructions were pretty straightforward: write one letter or email every week for the entire period of his or her deployment. Care packages were however discretionary.

She’s already been down this road before, which made her think she knew what to expect.

The last thing she however expected was to fall in love with the guy.

From Lukov with Love

If Jasmine Santos was to be asked to describe the last couple of years of her life in a single word, it would assuredly involve a four-letter word.

When an opportunity of a lifetime however presents itself in the form of a conceited jerk she spent the last decade wishing the worst for, Jasmine is forced to rethink everything—everything including Ivan Lukov.

With three sisters she adores, a job she loves more than half of the time, and a great family, Luna has everything she has ever wanted.

Of the secrets that she has, one of them involves the man who signs her paycheck.

What’s more interesting is that she doesn’t regret it, in spite of the fact that the man is everything but friendly.

The Best Thing

It’s easy to forgive some things, and impossible to forgive others.

For Lenny DeMaio, she vowed that she was done.

She was never going to thinking about him again; never going to worry about him again; and never going to waste her time giving her attention to someone who clearly doesn’t want it.

Too bad Jonah Collins never got the memo.
