A harmless kiss led to a fairy tale. Or so I thought. But unlike the happily-ever-afters you read about, my tale didn’t end with a wedding gown and roses. My fairy tale turned into a heartbreak. Inked in pain and sealed in tears. It almost cost me my life. And my family. He moved on as if nothing ever happened, while I was left to pick up the pieces. Now, he’s back and he wants me. To him, I’m a pawn to be used. Leverage. But I’m no longer his. I’m his brother’s betrothed.

A down on her luck, single boy mom and a handsome, untrusting rancher meet in a diner. No, this isn't the start of a joke, it's their life.

No one could have predicted how true that promise would turn out to be. When the clock strikes eleven-eleven on June sixth, I make a wish. But fate has other plans, and she deals me an unexpected hand. That’s the thing about fate: she doesn’t ask permission—she takes what she wants. When my world devolves into chaos, I decide to be like fate. And I want all three Fitzgerald brothers.

Things I expect after a one-night-stand: breakfast, small talk, maybe even another O before the awkward walk of shame in last night's clothes. I don't expect to open the door to his house and find a kid surrounded by all his earthly possessions. Fired from my job, homeless, and the perpetual screw-up of my family... How can I even think about caring for someone else's child when I'm incapable of looking after myself?

Noah Maddox is a hot-as-hell billionaire who, as it turns out, is impossible to resist. He's also an absolute beast in bed...

Ares “Wolf” Mallick ripped my heart out. He ground it into mush and didn’t even grant me the courtesy of a goodbye. He just left me. He left and said our relationship, fake or otherwise, meant nothing to him.

I never thought a simple walk in New York City would lead me into the shadows of a sinister game. One moment, I'm fighting off attackers in a dark alley, and the next, I'm saved by a mysterious stranger. He drags me into a darkened building, his grip both protective and possessive. I should feel safe, but I can't shake the feeling that there's something dangerous lurking beneath his surface.

The bossy, much older security specialist who comes with one of those rock stars might be a different story, but she's still hurting a little too badly from past mistakes to find out.

I was done with internet matches and swiping left and right. The dating pool needed a lifeguard. But just when I decided that love wasn't in the cards for me, the boy I'd always had a crush on walked into my ER and flashed a smile that told me he wasn't letting me slip away. I just had to keep his sister's secret a little longer.

Until I get caught....

There comes a time in your life when you’re faced with a choice—one that has the potential to alter the course of your life. That day, I answered my mother’s phone call, and everything changed. The path I chose was a turnpike masquerading as a meadow, and the tolls I paid have been grave. So I made a promise to myself that I will have my vengeance.
