Delilah Radcliffe and Seth Loveless have been breaking each other’s hearts for ten years now. Ever since she moved away to get married—and then divorced, in near-record time—they’ve practically got it down to a science, every time she comes to visit.

Thalia Lopez always follows the rules. Being a life-long good girl has its perks: she’s got a full scholarship to college and her choice of graduate programs, and she never has to worry about getting into trouble. It also means she’s a twenty-two-year-old virgin, but it’s not like that matters.

There are probably worse things than being stuck in a remote cabin with the rugged-yet-grumpy forest ranger who saved my life in a blizzard. Getting mauled by a bear, for example, though I might prefer that to eating breakfast with Gideon Bell, the guy who nearly ruined my life....

Once upon a time, a girl saved my life. I was p*ss-drunk, high as a kite, and about to jump from a bridge. She stopped me. I told her to f--k off. Exactly how all great love stories start....

Bull riding is dangerous as hell, but that’s half the fun. Guts, glory, and cute country girls lined up for days. It may take only eight seconds to win, but I can go all night....

My boss swore kidnapping the accountant’s daughter would be quick and easy. Just find the girl at the wedding, stuff her into a car, and let someone else drive her off....

I was born broken, with a past full of ugly secrets and a brother doing life in prison. Not that you’d know it if you read the tabloids. According to them I’m the rock-solid guitarist for the biggest band in the world. I’m the dependable one....

From dodging bullets in Afghanistan to working for the Secret Service, I know danger pretty well. Or I thought I did. That was before my latest assignment came with a whole new kind of danger....

Eli Loveless and Violet Tulane never did learn to coexist peacefully. From the first day of kindergarten until high school graduation, they argued, fought, and competed over anything and everything. They only managed to stop when Eli left their small town, and Violet heaved a sigh of relief.

Daniel Loveless and Charlotte McManus—aka Charlie—have been best friends since forever. Together, they’ve made it through everything from middle school dances to Daniel finding out he had a daughter, and they’re still thick as thieves. Faking an engagement, though? That’s… a lot.

Getting laid off and dumped will screw up anyone’s plans, so June’s taking a few months to recover at her parents’ house while she licks her wounds and finds another job. Of course, getting stranded and spending the night at her brother’s best friend’s house wasn’t in her plans either.

Silas and I agree on one thing, and one thing only: my ruthless, heartless, narcissistic jerk of an ex-fiancé needs to be taken down a notch. So we do what anyone would do: we pretend to be a couple....

He's a rugged, battle-hardened soldier who spent four years in the Royal Guard, an elite military unit. I met the king and queen for the first time wearing leggings and a sweatshirt....

Our relationship is for show and that's all. But with every smile, every laugh, and every breathtaking glance at her curves, I want her more....

Fighting wildfires is dangerous as hell, but it's still the best damn job in the world....
