No man had ever been able to give Candy real pleasure, no matter what sex toys they had tried. But Cain's friend Devlin is not a man; he's a centuries old vampire who's more than up to the challenge, and willing to do whatever it takes to give Candy what she's been missing.

The Newlyweds

In and out, quick and painless, that’s the plan. He just hadn’t counted on running into a fiery and stunning obstacle with gold flecks in her eyes.

Danielle Harris has worked hard to make her dream come true. With her best friend, she owns a boutique where she sells the vintage style dresses she designs. When a city lawyer comes along and tries to ruin everything, her Italian temper flares.

Dreams of Home

Austin Harris spent years in the Army fighting for and dreaming of home. And of Fleur Walker. Now he’s out—home in Morello Cove—and it’s nothing like he thought it would be. Dark thoughts keep him from finding out who the civilian version of himself is, and he’s not at all convinced the light shining brightly in the woman he’s always loved from afar is enough to save him. It might very well be that the darkness inside of him will destroy her instead.

It’s not easy loving someone who doesn’t want to be loved. Fleur Walker has learned that the hard way. It’s not even easy to keep your self-respect while trying to balance one-sided love and the art of compromising. Things were supposed to get easier when Austin came home, but they get more and more muddled, and even the most patient woman has her limits.

Both fighting inner battles, Austin and Fleur can’t also fight temptation. So they give in to it. The result is not something either of them can live with, but they have very different solutions on how to fix the little four-letter problem called LOVE.

Being independent can cost you. Olivia Ashford learns the lesson when she breaks free of her mother’s relentless rule and moves across the country with her young son. Finally free, Olivia makes it her mission to remain that way, not about to let go of the freedom she’s dreamed of for so long.
