I’ve spent three years lusting after Grammercy Graves on my (supposedly anonymous) hockey romance podcast—breaking down his stats, his plays, that panty-melting Cajun accent. . . The entire internet knows he’s my dream guy. What they don’t know? I’m a broke single mom who just lost her job—and the health insurance my daughter needs. When Grammercy finds me crying in a supply closet at a team party, he offers the wildest solution: Fake marriage. Real benefits. One year. No strings. No S-E-X. Just shared coverage and a room with my name on it. But he’s so good with my daughter.

I've spent months dodging Leo Parker's attempts to score a second date. Yes, he's gorgeous. Yes, he plays for the Louisiana Voodoo. Yes, he kisses like it's an Olympic sport. But he's also six years younger than I am and—plot twist—I used to babysit him when he was twelve. But when a hurricane destroys my restaurant (and the storage closet I've been sleeping in), Parker swoops in with the perfect solution. Move in with him. Temporarily.

They say that old habits die hard, and 27-year-old, Kady Jenson, is about to discover how very true that statement is. Waking up in the hospital with a complete stranger at her bedside should have caused panic and confusion, but for some unknown reason to her, Kady finds the company of the rugged and devastatingly handsome man simply irresistible. And that Irish brogue. Oh, my word! It's only when she discovers that she has just awoken from a four-day coma, with a three-year void in her memory, that brings on her panic and confusion.

Kady Jenson was a fighter. For four days, she fought through the darkness of her unconscious, and for weeks afterward she fought for answers as to why her long-term boyfriend was more of a stranger, while she felt so connected to the Irish stranger now at her hospital bedside. The apprehension, fear, anxiety, scars that she had no memories of gaining, and an unfamiliar passion which spawned each time she was in close proximity to the stranger provided a wake-up call.

Waking after a four-day coma, Kady Jenson felt her life crashing down around her. Three years of her memory were missing, and the compelling man at her side was not her years-long partner, but a stranger - a stranger who promised to help her recover what she lost. But how did Kady come to such a place? What dark, mysterious events had stolen her past and threatened her future? How did her lover become a stranger, and this stranger become so terribly important? What happened to turn Kady's orderly life into a terrifying nightmare which would leave her permanently marked, body and soul?

Shandi Fossey is mixing cocktails at the bar in Hush, the hottest hotel in Manhattan. The place oozes fantasy of the hottest sort, but for Shandi, it's a temp gig until she lands her dream job...and it's a lot better than pulling beers at the Thirsty Rattler back home. Then music producer Quentin Marks walks in and offers to buy her a drink. He's got the connections she needs and can open a lot of doors. So why is the only door she wants to open the one to his room upstairs? And why in the world is she putting a man ahead of her future?

Natalie hasn’t thought about her sorority sister, Olivia, since she slept with — then married — the love of Olivia’s life. Now she’s living the life Natalie thought she always wanted. A nice house, expensive car, and loads of money to lavish on her two children. It’s almost worth the frequent business trips her husband is constantly taking to feed all the bills. So when Olivia invites her out for drinks after two decades of silence, Natalie assumes all has been forgiven. She has no idea that Olivia’s bringing irrefutable evidence that her husband has been cheating on her.
