Stan lived for farming, proud of his accomplishments, content with his life. That is, until Becca showed up and stole land right out from under him. Land he used to feed his cattle.

How could they possibly work together, especially with the push/pull chemistry flowing between them?

Read The Farmer Says I Do, part of the Farmers of Goodrich County series of clean and wholesome romances.

She promised she wouldn’t fall for her best friend's brother. But a summer in Italy might change everything…

Out of all her friends, Rose is the ‘single’ one. She isn’t lucky in love; in fact, she’s the opposite. So, when her best friend Katie decides to whisk her away for a few weeks of sun and relaxation, of course, she says yes.

There’s only one problem – they’re off to visit Katie’s brother, Thomas, at his magnificent Italian ranch. And Rose is petrified of horses.

Deep in the Tuscan countryside, Rose leaves her mundane accounting job behind and begins to settle into life on the ranch. It is just as beautiful as she expected, but she is shocked to discover how much Thomas has changed; the shy teenager she used to know has morphed into a handsome cowboy with a dazzling smile, and she knows she’s going to find it hard to keep her cool around him.

When Katie is unexpectedly called home for an emergency, Rose is left alone with Thomas. As she helps him care for a pregnant mare, she faces her fears and begins to see herself—and Thomas—in a new light.

But as her feelings deepen, Rose must decide if she’s ready to trust her heart again. Is Thomas as wonderful as he seems, or is she risking it all for another heartbreak?

Set against the stunning backdrop of Tuscany, Love in Tuscany is a sweet, uplifting romance about second chances, self-discovery, and a love worth taking a chance on. Perfect for fans of cozy, feel-good love stories with a guaranteed happy-ever-after.

Do opposites really attract?

Eve Conroy

Returning to Sycamore Springs is something I thought I’d never do. With my big fat divorce pending, no job, little money, and two kids to support, there is no choice. As if I haven’t got enough to worry about, there’s this unwanted attraction to a man several years younger than me.

Hot or not, it just isn’t going to happen.

Adam Norton

My last two relationships were complete disasters. Meeting Eve again, the sister-in-law of the woman I jilted at the altar—therefore completely out of bounds—is keeping me awake. Why do I do this to myself?

Whatever this is, I think that cupid might be having a whole lot of fun at my expense.

A Friends to lovers romance.
Is it wishful thinking?
Delilah Brown
Sycamore Springs might be a great place to live for most people. For me, it's a nightmare. Between a horrible boss and taking care of my sick mom, there's little time for day-dreaming, but when I do manage a few minutes, sexy Sam's always there.
I know, he's great, but I can't be distracted from my responsibilities even when he pushes buttons that I thought were out of commission.
Samson Kershaw
Happy and in love—can you have one without the other? I'm trying hard to accept the possibility.
Problem 1 - I am not a couple and have no prospect of becoming one in the near future. Although there is definitely a connection between the hairdresser and me. She won't take me seriously, which is problem number 2.
Delilah's as independent as she is beautiful and completely uninterested in a real estate agent who turns into a fool around her.
5* ‚"An engaging romance with a lot of heart.‚"
5* ‚"This story is filled with heart.‚"
5* ‚"Well written with great characters.‚"

Back in the game after the worst loss of his life, can this disillusioned defenseman rediscover love for the game… and a beautiful photojournalist?

I swore I’d never play hockey again. After my mom died in a car accident and I quit to raise my sixteen-year-old sister, I’ve had no desire to chase my NHL dreams.

But now, the kid is away at an expensive college and a buddy took over coaching for the scandalized Florida Sun Kings. He’s begging me to help him out. As team captain.

No sooner than I’m back in the locker room, a gorgeous but nosy reporter mistakes me for a construction worker. I don’t bother to correct her. I’ve been burned by journalists before.

And when she finds out who I really am, her indignation reminds me why she’s just the latest newshound I should keep on the other side of the blue line.

But she’s different. She wants a human-interest column, not a sports beat. There’s a kindness to her I’ve never felt before. And she inspires my little sis.

Can I trust her with my deepest secrets? With my heart?

Or am I setting myself up for another devastating betrayal?

In the Defensive Zone with my Enemy is the breathtaking first book in the Romancing the Sun Kings series with sizzling chemistry, but no explicit scenes. If you like wounded heroes, tender-hearted athletes, and skating into love, then you’ll adore Dineen Miller’s sweet shot-on-goal.

Being dumped is painful. Being dumped because your ex thinks you're too fat is heartbreaking.
Rosie Hayes joins a gym in order to lose weight. Secretly she plans to win back her ex-boyfriend, Phil.
Gym owner, Jake Matthias, millionaire and entrepreneur, wants to stay single, but every woman he meets seems to be looking for a Happy Ever After.
Jake assigns personal trainer, Samantha, to help Rosie lose the weight and get fit. Samantha, who wants Jake for herself, is disdainful of Rosie, especially when she confesses her desire to win Phil back.
Rosie is thrilled when Jake picks her for his special boot camp, held in the grounds of his home in Buckinghamshire. Unbeknownst to Rosie, Samantha has invited herself along too. Rosie asks Jake to be her plus-one at a friend's wedding. An event Phil will also be attending.
Will Rosie lose enough weight before the wedding to win back her ex? Does she still want to?
Will Jake be able to persuade Rosie that this Phil guy isn't good enough for her? And can he stop himself falling in love with her?
And what plans does Samantha have for boot camp?

I save lives for a living. But no one warned me about drowning in old feelings.
I wouldn't call myself a homebody, exactly. It's just that I've never seen much of a reason to travel all over the world, when there's more than enough to keep me busy here in my small, Florida, beach town.
For the past ten years, I've been developing our lifeguard program into something special. Now, I've got the opportunity to implement a new, nationally recognized course. There's just one giant problem…
The woman who designed it is The One Who Got Away.
And the mayor insists I work with her.
A decade ago, I believed our dreams were aligned. Instead, she ran off to California to pursue her own thing. And I …well, let's just say there hasn't been a day I haven't thought about her. She swears she's not here to stir up any trouble, and my head knows not to let her back in.
But my heart isn't that bright.
Being around Callie again makes it seem like old times. And it certainly feels like the same-old betrayal when her Hollywood boyfriend shows up looking for some personal instruction.
Am I about to drown in misery, or can we chart a course for happily ever after?

A single mom with no time for romance.

Raising five-year-old twin daughters, along with her job, keeps her too busy to think about men—mostly.

Then Jordan Lambert comes to town. Owner of the new resort in Dreamers Bay, Jordan represents everything she despises—rich men who think they can buy anything or anyone. There’s no way she’s letting him close, no matter how much he persists. No matter how sexy he is.



A confirmed bachelor who usually gets what he wants.

Just when he’d thought things were running smoothly at the resort, and in his life, Jordan discovers this couldn’t be further from the truth. He needs to hire someone fast, and Megan Adams, with all the necessary skills, is the one he wants.

The fact that she stirs his blood with her sassy mouth and fiery hair is irrelevant.

A feel-good tale of love, family, and second chances

I was ready to bloom in the Big Apple—until small-town love got in the way.

I was this close to making my dreams come true. Hightailing it out of small-town Florida for the Big Apple, I went to art school and was in the running for the perfect job when the aunt who raised me died. Good news: She left me everything she had. Bad news: That includes her flower shop, which I have to run successfully for a year before I’m allowed to sell it.

So now, I’m back where I don’t want to be, trying to fix up a business that seems to be better at providing shelter for raccoons and cockroaches than making money. And that’s when he shows up…

Kade Maverick. The guy who bullied me in high school. Owner of the sparkling green eyes I’ve never been able to ignore.

He’s changed somehow. It’s not just that he’s got a scar on his face from a motorcycle accident. He’s… vulnerable? He has a four-year-old niece he’s caring for, and he’s willing to do anything to help me fix up the store.

As business starts to boom, we’re getting close. Too close. Everything feels perfect.

But I’m going back to NYC when my year is up, and he’s just not a part of those plans. Right?

She’s country music royalty. He’s the small-town singer with big dreams. One road trip could rewrite their love song forever.

Hank Bennett’s dream was always to make it big in country music—until his band broke up and left him back at his family’s farm, wondering if he’ll ever get another shot. When he attends a concert for his music idol, the last thing he expects is to meet someone who turns his whole world upside down—Travis Miller’s sister, the gorgeous and wildly talented Ella Mae.

Ella has spent years writing love songs for other people, but on the last leg of her brother’s tour, she finds inspiration in the most unexpected place—Hank. His charm, raw talent, and deep Southern drawl make it impossible to resist the way he looks at her... or the way he makes her feel.

A single, unforgettable night changes everything. But when her brother’s jealousy and the dark side of fame threaten to tear them apart, they have to decide: is this just a fleeting backstage romance, or the start of their greatest duet?

Trust Duet 2

Rule number two, when I say don't move, do not move.

I'm falling without a net at a terrifying speed. There is no hiding, no amount of fighting, that can change my trajectory now that he's seen the real me, behind the scars and armor. It's strange to find the control I need resting in someone else's hands. Submission is freedom. Submission is redemption.Submission is a power like I've never felt before. and I give it all to him freely.

There’s order in his courtroom,
But not with his fake girlfriend.
Top-tier lawyer Zev Brady is not in control. Ever since a half-naked heiress fell out of a tree and onto his head, the carefully crafted order in his life has gone berzerk. One moment, he was at a wedding his bossy sister, Azura, had forced him to attend, and the next, he had Isla Valehart in his arms. Now, the paparazzi have popped up out of nowhere, and they’ve caught him with a mostly naked millionaire darling in his arms. And if that wasn’t bad enough, Azura insists there’s only one solution to the problem: Fake date Isla Valehart until the paparazzi leave her alone.
Ecologist nerd Isla Valehart has never been kissed. She’s never been touched by a man, never been wooed, and she’s certainly never been carried in her underwear by a giant yeti of a man. But when the paparazzi catch her in Zev Brady’s arms–in her ugliest pair of underwear, no less–Isla finds herself with no choice but to date the broody Mr. Brady. It’s not all bad. He’s easy to provoke, and Isla loves poking the grouchy lawyer bear. Also, she’s somehow ended up making a deal with Zev that she can’t resist: Stay in his home so he can keep an eye on her, and he’ll give her kissing lessons.
Win-win, right? Except the kissing lessons are starting to feel real, and the paparazzi are getting frighteningly bold. Soon, Isla can't decide what is the bigger danger in her life--the stalkers with cameras, or her genuine feelings for her fake boyfriend.
