Thomas O’Grady is the unofficial King of Sugar Mountain. He’s always been untouchable; the kind of man you admire from afar, but don’t get to be close to. So imagine my surprise when I get offered a job working underneath him at his resort. It’s a dream come true … until it isn’t. He’s grumpy, opinionated, and judgmental. I want to tell him exactly where he can shove it, but then I meet his daughter.

I don’t date my clients. Being the top relocation specialist for professional athletes—a woman has to have rules. And that’s the only one I need. The only one that matters. The only one I’ve lived by since starting my own company. But when Crew Maxwell walks through my office door with his cocky attitude, arrogance, and downright delicious body, I’m half tempted to throw my rule straight out the window.

Elizabeth Lyons has one rule for herself: no distractions. No distractions basically translates into no men, which definitely means hell no when it comes to Daniel Alexander. After a chance meeting at a professional function, Daniel is not interested in letting Elizabeth go. No matter how much Elizabeth tries to stay away from him, Daniel's not the kind of guy who lets something he wants walk out of his life. The question is, will she let him catch her, or will her past fears ruin any chance of a future with him?

I’ve loved Ryson for as long as I can remember. He stole my heart on set when we were teenagers and hasn’t let it go since. It hasn’t always been easy being Hollywood’s hottest couple, but it’s always been worth it. Until now. I never thought anything could come between us. I never imagined a scenario where Ryson and I wouldn’t be together...but here we are, living out my worst nightmare. And in the public eye, no less.

Ivy: I’ve been in love with Saint my whole life. At least that’s how it feels. He’s never looked at me as anything more than his best friend’s little sister. Being stuck in the friend zone is my literal nightmare when it comes to him, and I want out. Saint: Ivy has no idea the way I see her. It kills me that she thinks I don’t want her the same way she wants me. But I made a promise to her brother. One I knew I’d end up breaking at some point.

April is the hottest matchmaker in Manhattan. She is completely content helping others find love and is in no rush to find a match of her own. But when she is forced into attending a bachelor auction, she has no idea that she’s about to be the winning bidder of Bachelor #22.

Heading off to Vail single and alone wasn’t how I planned on spending the week before Valentine’s Day, but here I am, in one of the most scenic places in the country, with nothing to do and no one to do it with. Until I meet Jase Malone. He’s adventurous, charming, and sexy as hell. It was supposed to just be one night. One night of letting go of the past and giving in to the moment. But things never quite pan out the way you think…do they?

After my mom died, I was heartbroken and devastated. She left behind a note for myself and my little sister and before we knew what hit us, we were on a plane, bound for Ireland. Mom had one last wish for us: To live our lives. To have experiences. To fall in love. I don’t think she meant for all those things to happen while we were in another country, but just when you least expect it, life throws you a curveball in the form of a Prince, who is unlike any other man you’ve ever met before.

Jack appeared at my door last night after six months of no communication wearing a Mets jersey and holding a dozen red roses. He told me he was sorry, that he loved me, and that he would earn my trust again. It took everything in me to not fall apart at the mere sight of him. I wanted to take him back into my life, but I needed to know that this time it would be forever...

I’ve been in love with Addison Whitman since high school. I knew right away that she was my end game and I thought she felt the same. I never thought there’d come a time when she’d leave me behind, but that’s exactly what she did. And as much as I’ve tried to move on and be happy without her … the truth is that I can’t do either of those things. I want one woman, and one woman only, but I don’t think she’s ever coming back.

They say you always want what you can't have. And what I want is Julia La Bella. I'm supposed to hate her with every fiber of my being, but I'll let you in on a little secret.... I don't. Not even close. The woman is stunning. She's also a colossal pain in my...you-know-what. Julia's my number-one competitor in the wine industry and she also happens to live next door. Not a good combination for a guy who's been told to "stay away from her" his whole life. Our parents can't stand each other: a bitter, outdated rivalry with no end in sight.

I’ve loved Dove Tryst my whole life. There wasn’t a time when I ever thought she wouldn’t be mine. Even when we hated each other, we loved each other. But now I’m sitting here alone, trying to figure out where it all went wrong and more importantly, how. She’s engaged to my enemy. Days from walking down the aisle toward a man who isn’t me. And she’s asked me to object. I know what I have to do, but I’m not sure Dove’s going to like it. Sometimes love is war and you have to fight to keep it safe.

Seven years ago, my boyfriend broke up with me over the phone. The worst part was, I never even saw it coming. At first, I figured he’d regret it and come racing back to me, begging for my forgiveness. But when that never happened, I realized that I needed to put Tyson Hunter behind me and move on with my life. Getting over a guy like him was easier said than done. Especially when I couldn’t seem to avoid his face. He was everywhere: on billboards, commercials, magazine covers, and movie posters. I guess that’s what happens when your ex is a famous actor.

Joseph Martin has been my best friend’s boss for years. So when she comes to me with this half-baked idea of me posing as Joseph’s girlfriend to help him out, I’m tempted to tell her to take a hike. But then she begs. And pleads. And says that Joseph will pay off my med school bills and … you guessed it, I cave. Even though I hate him. Even though we apparently hate each other (I’m not the one who didn’t do anything wrong, mind you). But things aren’t always how they seem, and I suddenly find myself falling for the guy I thought I couldn’t stand.

My first year playing center for the brand-new AHL team, and things are off to a disastrous start. After losing my temper with the refs in front of a fan-filled arena, my coach devises a plan to “make me more likable.” It’s a horrible plan that isn’t going to work. He wants me to pretend to date a famous singer in hopes that her fans will become my fans. The last thing I want to do is date, pretend to date, or think about dating. Who has time for that when I have hockey games to win?

Elijah and I were childhood best friends turned totally love-struck teens who swore we’d elope the summer after graduation. It was supposed to be forever. Then came the photos of him with other girls—posted all over social media. And his sudden refusal to talk about our wedding in public? Yeah, I panicked. So when a mysteriously convenient out-of-the-country internship landed in my lap, I took it. Oh, and I left on our wedding day.

Coming from a family of all boys who play hockey, all I ever wanted was to be seen by my dad. When he offers me an opportunity to intern at his startup sports magazine, I jump at the chance to impress him. It’s not until after I’m given my first assignment that I find out the catch. I must write a hit piece on his rival team. It shouldn’t be too bad. It’s not like I’m friends with these guys. Enter Noah Miller, AKA the team flirt.
