EDISON I’m being watched and followed. I don’t know who it is and only in the deepest, darkest part of my mind will I admit that I like it. I know I shouldn’t, but I crave for whoever is lurking in the shadows to come into the light. When they do, I’m not prepared, but I’m too curious to not find out where this can lead. Three men want me, but there’s more there than meets the eye. I’m not sure they’re the right men for me, but under their praise and the way they push my boundaries, I find myself. The freedom they give me within the walls of Club Sin satisfies a part of me I never knew I had. Maybe there’s more here than a little fun. Can this really be what I’ve been looking for all my life? KILLIAN The moment I meet Edison, I know she is special and getting to put my mark on her skin only makes my obsession grow. Since tattooing her, I haven’t been able to get her out of my mind. I give into the darkness and become her stalker, but I quickly figure out that I’m not the only one. Meeting Jude magnifies the need for our woman, and we find comfort in each other, right or wrong. There’s only one other person I know who can balance us out and help us get the woman whose soul is calling to me like a siren’s song. My brother, Coyle, falls too, just like I knew he would. Now it’s just a matter of showing her how special she is and helping her to embrace her darkest desires. JUDE Taking a job as janitor at the university library is a big step down for me, but it had to be done. It was the only way I could think of to keep an eye on the woman of my dreams. Seeing Edison from afar was kismet and I wasn’t going to let it pass me by. I’ve been able to watch over her, but I find I’m not the only one enthralled. No surprise there. What does surprise me is the connection I have to Killian and how we work out the consuming need for our woman. Coyle getting added to the mix feels right, he provides a balance we need. When all the secrets, obsessions, and desires come out, will Edison be able to accept us? All of us? COYLE I’ve been pulled into a mess I wasn’t prepared for, but, surprisingly, I don’t want to get out. Not after finding my way to Edison, no matter how wild or wrong the road was. I can understand my brother’s obsession, I feel it thrumming through my veins with breathtaking intensity. I can see her needs, her desires, her cravings. I’m going to give them all to her. She’s ours. We’ll cover her in praise and show her that we might not be perfect, but we’re hers. *18+.

CORAL I didn’t join my best friends in their resolutions to get their love lives on track this year. Finding a man has never been my problem. Now, finding the right one? That’s a whole other story. I’ve been keeping my resolution this year close, not even sharing it with my friends, and it has nothing to do with men. This year is all about me and what makes me happy. A man has never been able to do that. I should have known the moment I decided to be all about me and not let a man into my life one would be dropped in my lap. All I was supposed to do was help Lincoln design the perfect engagement ring for my bestie, Willow. I had no idea I’d meet Holden. Now my resolution is crumbling, but I think I’m okay with it. There might be enough room for me and love this year. HOLDEN The Pink Collar Temp Agency has allowed me to connect with clients and make a name for myself in Denver with my jewelry. My dream is to have my own shop and every customer I gain gets me one step closer. Still, it’s a long way off. I learned a long time ago that women only see the sparkling things I can give them instead of me. Maybe I’m jaded, but my experience doesn’t lie. I didn’t expect everything I thought I knew about love to be upended with one client meeting. Coral is more beautiful than any gem I’ve put in a setting. It’s a good thing the engagement ring my customer wants to design isn’t for my woman because I hate to lose a sale. She’d be worth it though. I’ll show her I’m the man for her and the ones who let her down in the past aren’t worth another thought. We’re diamonds in the rough, but I know just how to make us shine. **18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.

Amelia If I could choose one person in Denver to tattoo anything they wanted on me it would be Beckett Banks, owner of Banks Ink.. So, when my best friend and coworker has the in for an appointment, I don’t hesitate to go and be her emotional support. Did I have an ulterior motive? Yeah, a little, but my friend is still my first priority. Beckett may be hotter than any guy I’ve ever met, but he’s kind of a dick, which is all the more obvious considering how nice everyone else in the shop is. Nice and maybe a little flirty. I may have been stalking Beckett’s social media for a while, but that doesn’t mean I’ll allow a guy to be a dick to me. Not again. He may have apologized, but I can hold a grudge and I’m not going to let my heart get stomped all over. I learned my lesson and now I know how to protect myself. I guess I’ll have to work harder at that now that his friends are conspiring to get us in the same room together. If only he didn’t look so sincere when he apologizes for his behavior, I would have a better chance of keeping my promise to myself and not give my heart away to the talented, sexy and tattooed Beckett Banks. Beckett The day I meet Amelia started out awful, but when I heard her laugh outside my shop, I knew in that moment that she’s the one for me. I shouldn’t have let my past get the better of me. My ex may have been a cheater, but that doesn’t mean that Amelia will be too. She’s gorgeous and sweet, kind and thoughtful. Still, she was flirting with two of my best friends; well, I think she was flirting and it brought up all my doubts and fears. I was a dick to her and there’s no excuse for that. I tried to make it right, but she doesn’t owe me anything and she doesn’t have to accept my apology. I know I need to work harder to make it right with her. I’m lucky I have some of the best friends a guy can have and they can’t stand seeing me being a moody, grumpy bastard. I only need a chance and I know that I can make it up to her and get her to see how sorry I am. Good thing my friends are making sure I get that chance. Now I can make her mine because I knew the moment I saw her that she was always meant to be mine. She’s perfect for me, she’s perfect for our rag tag family. She’s home. I’ll always protect my home, no matter what. **18+. If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.

JACE In the years since everything changed in Screaming Woods, including myself, the only place I’ve found solace is in the woods I protect as a park ranger. I’m not sure how to deal with my new…attributes as a wolfman. What if I go feral? What if I can’t control the monster I was made into? Every year this goes on, I retreat farther from humanity and closer to the animal I’ve become. I don’t get close to anyone, which is for the best. I’m destined to be alone now; at least that’s what I assumed. Until I meet Dakota. Dakota moves to town to open a gourmet pet treat business, but I know there is more to the story. I didn’t know I had a future beyond being a monster. Fate has given me something else—her, my mate. Now I’ll do anything to keep her safe and make her mine, even accept the monster I’ve become. DAKOTA When looking for a place to open a brick-and-mortar store for the business I run with my best friend, I wanted to take the opportunity to move far away. My ex is obsessed with me and not in a dark romance kind of way, more in a creepy, scary, restraining order kind of way. Something was calling me to Screaming Woods, so I took a chance. Opening Paws Up is going well. The town is welcoming and a little odd. Just the way I like things. I’ll be able to build a new, safe life here. I’ll be able to stay out of trouble and focus on the business. Then Jace growls his way into my life. He’s a wolfman who loves nature and takes offense to my business, though I can’t understand why. It’s not like I’d suggest he try my treats…unless he wanted to. I have a lot to learn about Screaming Woods and the monster whose fate is entwined with mine. Hopefully my past won’t come back to haunt me and try and take it all away from me. Even if it does, I’m knot running from fate. *18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.

JUSTICE I’m more than happy in my life. The bakery I own with my sisters is doing well, I have a best friend who knows all my secrets and I’m content with a string of satisfying, short-lived partners in my past. It might not land me on the naughty list, but there’s only one thing I want that I haven’t grabbed ahold of with both hands. A baby. I’m more than fine with the thought of becoming a mother without a permanent man in my life. Who needs one anyway? I know my value and none of the guys in my past have been worth more than a good time. The only guy who can keep up with me is my best friend, Corbin, and he has a wake of broken hearts behind him just like I do. This Christmas I’m inspired to go after what I really want with no apologies. I’m not interested in a stranger’s DNA, but Corbin has a lot to offer when it comes to a baby daddy. I’m a little surprised by how seriously he’s taking the whole thing, but I’m not looking for a commitment. So, how does my heart get involved? CORBIN I’ve been good keeping my relationships with women superficial and fleeting. Why would I need anything deeper when I have Justice for all the emotional stuff? She gets me and doesn’t judge me for not being interested in more than a night or two with a woman. We’re so similar in our love lives and we’ve never let anyone stand in the way of our friendship. Finding out she harbors a need for a baby? I did not see that one coming. When she asks me for help, I’m willing, but there’s no way a cup and a doctor is getting involved. Not when I can make my own deposits. She thinks I’m going to give her what she needs and then go back to only being her best friend, but it’s not going to happen. The moment I experience all her curves in my hands, I know I’m a goner. I’m going to be giving her more than the two pink lines she wants for Christmas; I’m going to give her forever with me by her side. *18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.

EZRA I’ve always put everything I have into hockey and Stella. We’ve been friends for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always felt the need to keep her close and safe. I don’t know when it changed into something more or why, but I hid it and denied it because I’ve been afraid of losing what we have. Winning the championship last year should have made me feel fulfilled, but something is missing, and I know what it is. I want Stella by my side and in my arms as more than a friend. How can I be a beast on the ice and a coward when it comes to my girl? When I see a player from another team hitting on Stella, all bets are off. The puck stops here. It’s a good thing I’m used to stopping the other team from scoring on the ice because I’m going to need those skills. He might be a good guy, but Stella is mine. It’s time to show her just how much she means to me. STELLA I think it’s time to move on, everyone else around me is finding love and working toward their future. Then there’s me who is holding onto hope for something I don’t think will ever happen. It’s time to put down the crush I’ve had on my best friend, the one guy who has always been in my corner. I’ll always be Ezra’s biggest fan and the president of his fan club. I’ll always be his friend, but I can’t wait for him to wake up and look at me like I’m his whole world. I can ignore how much I’m attracted to him and the things which make it feel like we’re in our own little world and meant to be together. Right? Just when I’m ready to put myself out there, why does he come out of nowhere and ruin it? Is it a game to him or is it something more?

TUCKER “FRIAR” FOX A certain cyber thief has been able to take from the Devil’s Saints MC. It wasn’t a lot of money at first, but our Treasurer, Clutch, took it personally. I took on the job to find the source of the theft and now my pride won’t allow me to let it go. I’ve been running after my own tail to try and find out who is behind the multiple breaches of our security and the theft; I need to catch this guy. Whoever the hacker is, they messed up when they upped their game which allows me to get a bead on where the guy is. Rolling out of Seattle with a few of my brothers, I’m not at all sad to be heading down South close to Christmastime. Mistletoe Creek, Tennessee seems like an idyllic place, but they’re harboring a dangerous hacker and I’m going to find them. Finding Robyn at the other end of the thefts throws off everything I thought I knew. She’s all curves and determination, but I can’t ignore that she’s stolen from the club, even if she thought she was doing the right thing. When my brothers and I find out we’re not the only ones who have tracked her down, the only thing I can do to protect her is make her my old lady. She wants to take down the evil in the world and the Devil’s Saints MC is at her back. ROBYN LOCKE When my best friend disappeared years ago, she wasn’t the only one who was lost. I’ve been searching for a place to belong while trying to right the wrongs in the world, wrongs I didn’t know existed until she was taken and sold. I’ve found a home in Mistletoe Creek for the last five years, but I don’t know if I can make it permanent. Using my computer skills to skim money from those who do evil in this world, I make sure the money gets to those who need it. I’m not sorry and I never will be. If the bad guys don’t have as much money, they don’t have as much freedom to destroy. With Christmas around the corner, I want to help even more people…and that is where everything goes wrong. I didn’t expect Friar to track me down from over 2000 miles away, but when he rolls into Mistletoe Creek with some of his brothers, he doesn’t suspect me. At first. Once he figures it out, he should be mad and never trust me, but he looks at me like I’m his whole world and shows me the Devil’s Saints aren’t the bad guys I thought they were. When the real bad guys show up to find me, I have no choice but to give into Friar and his plan to protect me. Hopefully I can stay safe and come out of this with my heart intact. *18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.

SARAH Having everything in order and sticking to my routine is the way I cope with my past. It keeps the nightmares contained. I can’t let them out. I’m already scared enough of the shadows as it is. When I remember, they overtake my world. Which is why I call my family for help when I’m stranded on the side of the road and fear is stretching toward me and about to swallow me. I’m assured that the man coming to help me is a friend, someone my brother-in-law, Ryder, trusts. I didn’t expect he would take my breath away…or chase away my demons. Theo revs my engine, but I can’t imagine that I’m enough for a man like him. Saving me when I’m stranded isn’t the only thing he does. He makes me feel whole and I give my trust and my body to him. I can only hope my past won’t taint my future and he won’t break my heart. THEO For so long all I’ve had is my business. Restoring old cars is a passion I got from my father. It’s opened doors for me and given me a purpose, but the older I’ve gotten the more I realize it hasn’t given me much else. I didn’t realize a friendship I forged over a metal frame would bring my woman into my life, one I can’t live without. When I get the phone call to help Sarah, it only takes one look into her vulnerable eyes to know I’ll do anything to get her to trust me. She’s haunted and quiet, living in her head more than experiencing life. I plan to show her how good living can be while getting her to fall for me. I’m going to make Sarah mine. I’ll pop her hood and fix her car. I’ll shelter her. I’ll love her. I’ll show her just how good I am with my hands and then I’m never letting her go. *18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.

GANNON My time in the military changed me and when I came back home to Jasper Ridge, I retreated to the mountains. It’s quiet and safe here, but it’s lonely as well. I’ve made my peace with it. I have my cabin, I have my dog, I have my solitude. What more could I want? When a beautiful woman shows up with hope in her eyes while telling me she’s in Jasper Ridge to become my wife, it becomes clear that someone has decided to stick their nose in my business. I never put out the ad Lake saw, but she’s definitely here for me. How it happened doesn’t matter because I’m not letting her go. I wasn’t expecting to give my heart or a ring to a woman, but now I’m doing both. With her in my arms, I remember the joy of Christmas and can see a future with her. Santa wasn’t the one who brought Lake to me, but whoever did will forever have my gratitude. LAKE I’ve been feeling stuck and suffocated for far too long. I hate my job. My brother, who is part of the Devil’s Saints MC, will always see me as his younger sister instead of a woman who knows her own mind. As the holidays roll around, I’m determined to do something about it. If Santa could give me a sign, that would be great, especially with my brother out of town. I have an opportunity and I don’t want to let it pass me by. When I come across a way to get out of town and head somewhere new, getting married to a stranger feels like a fair trade. I never expected Gannon to be my intended husband. He’s gruff and grumpy, but I’m used to men like that. The surprise on his face when I show up on his doorstep doesn’t deter me, and the way it morphs into heat tells me married life will be better than I was anticipating. I’ll remind my new husband what Christmas is all about and then we’ll build a life together that’s worth living. *18+.

SALEM Senior year is upon us and as much as this is the last hurrah, it’s also time to buckle down because before I know we won’t have the quad to call home and then life truly begins. I’m not sure where I’m going, but I also want to enjoy the time I have left. I’ve carved out a nice place for myself amongst the theater geeks, but all that changes when I get paired with Hollis Lang, star quarterback and king of the Kings, for a project in a theater class he probably shouldn’t even be in. I’m determined to do the work and not let how attractive he is get to me. Then I meet his best friend and fellow player, Slade Parsons. One of them I could ignore, but two? Maybe it was always bound to happen, just like they say when I’m sandwiched between them while they handle my body better than they do a football. I’m hoping to get through the year without any drama, but when we’re talking about two kings on campus is that even possible? They’ve scored my heart and body, but will it last? HOLLIS Football is my life and I’ve only allowed myself a distraction or two along the way. I wasn’t expecting the biggest distraction of my life to be my partner in a theater class I’m taking for an easy grade while I’m playing the most important season of my life. Salem isn’t anything like the girls I’ve been with before—she’s so much more. I’ve been looking toward the draft along with my best friend, Slade, who has been at my side for as long as I can remember. We’re a powerhouse team. I didn’t expect him to want the woman I’ve been watching since the first day of class, but it makes perfect sense. Can we have it all? Or is there too much off field drama? SLADE Hollis always told me the right woman would make me change my ways, but I never believed him. When he brings Salem into our world, he has every right to say, ‘I told you so’. We’ve faced opponents on the field and come out victorious. Winning over Salem and convincing her we want to share her forever is a battle we never expected and one we can’t lose. With everything on the line, including three hearts, can we make it through the season without too much drama? Can we find a way to have everything we’ve ever wanted? I’m not going to let anything stand in my way and I know Hollis is right there with me. Salem is ours. *18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you. No cheating with a guaranteed HEA.

LINCOLN The moment I see Willow I know she is the woman I need in my bed, in my life, forever. The only problem is the douche she’s meeting at the club where I work, Aces. There have been some sketchy things happening at the club and there’s no way I’m letting anything happen to my girl. She’s all curves I want to wrap around me and a smile I want to see every day. When she needs to be rescued, I’m right there. I’ll protect her and then I’ll make her mine. Finding her is the best way to start the new year. I’m more than happy to snuggle up with her and keep her safe. WILLOW The moment I meet my date for the night, I know it’s going to be a bust. He’s the kind of guy I avoid and has put me off dating, but I decided I was going to try again this year and stick to my resolution. I should have known it wasn’t going to go well. It would have been better if I stayed outside to flirt with the bouncer, Lincoln. Dad bods make my mouth water and Lincoln would be great to cuddle up with in front of a fireplace. I feel him watching me all night, making me feel safe…and other things. When he saves me from my date, I don’t remember much, but I know what my heart feels. He’s it for me.

SILAS I’ve grumbled and sneered about doing the food for a Valentine’s Day speed dating event at Aces since the moment I was told about it. It seems like a horrible way to meet someone. How can you make a connection in five minutes? When I do one more check to make sure everything is ready for the break in the middle of the event, all my protests fly out of the window. I don’t need five minutes to make a connection, all I need is one glimpse of her. Watching her talk with other men has me on edge. It’s only a matter of time before I can make my approach. Then I’ll make her mine. She’s going to learn there are some perks to dating a chef and I’ll be doing a lot more than dating Paisley.

MISTLETOE Revenge. It’s the only thing that has been driving me for so long and now it’s so close. The death of my twin hangs heavy on my heart. She didn’t deserve the pain she was put through. The desperation she must have felt echoes through my soul along with my guilt. The man who killed her was not tortured enough. Since the man responsible is already gone, the only one who can temper my need for blood is Nikolai Orlov. I’ve been watching and waiting. When he retreats to his cabin, I know it’s time to strike. He will answer all my questions and I will get vengeance for my sister’s demise. Getting stranded with him wasn’t part of the plan. Nor was finding out that his pain mirrors my own. He’s haunted, but is it enough? Will anything ever be? Can my soul rest in his arms and find peace? What would my sister think of me if she knew Nikolai has stolen my heart? NIKOLAI ORLOV I am being haunted. There are so many sins in my past, so many deaths on my shoulders, but the death that taints my soul the most wasn’t by my hands. I was too late to stop the abuse, but I tried to make it right. I can still see her lifeless eyes in my nightmares because her ghost will not let me rest. I don’t deserve the luxury of vanquished guilt. The need to get away from the city and search for some solace drives me to my cabin. I was hopeful the ghost of my failure, wouldn’t follow me, but she did. At least, I thought she did, but the person who has been haunting me isn’t a ghost at all. I see the pain in Mistie’s eyes for her twin. I can see the hatred she has for me and her need for retribution. I will pay in flesh and blood willingly because once I know she is real and not a figment of my own failure, I also know that she’s mine. We’re two hearts in pain and stranded in the snow. Can we find a way forward together? *18+. This story has dark themes and a morally gray hero.

REESE My new neighbor does not like my dog. If you don’t like Boomer, then you don’t like me. End of story. I guess that’s not much of a deterrent for Anderson, though. He’s all bark and never misses an opportunity to complain. About everything. Sometimes it’s Boomer. Sometimes it’s my music. Sometimes it’s my alarm clock. How does he even hear it? Is it my fault I need something akin to an air raid siren so I can wake up in the morning? It would be a lot easier if Anderson wasn’t the sexiest man I’ve ever met and didn’t make me feel things I never have before. It doesn’t matter because nothing can happen between us. Whoever becomes a dog dad to my Boomer needs to love him as much as I do. That’s not Anderson. He’s a grump who only cares about himself. He would make the worst dog dad there ever was and he definitely doesn’t want me. Until he proves me wrong. ANDERSON Moving into a new place should have been a fresh start for me, but it’s turned into a nightmare. I can’t get any work done because the dog next door won’t stop barking. Books don’t write themselves and my publisher is starting to breathe down my neck. Reese doesn’t seem to care at all that her dog is at fault for my writer’s block and my annoyance. I don’t think she even listens when I complain, and it doesn’t seem to change anything either. My ex was selfish and lacked all self-awareness and it’s why we aren’t together anymore. Now I’m living next door to another woman who is exactly the same; just my luck. If only I could ignore how much I want to pull Reese against me while letting all my aggravations fall to the floor. Reese’s beauty and the way her body calls to me like a siren’s song can’t be denied. I have to resist her because no good come from giving into the feelings I have for her. She’s flippant and only cares about herself. Until I find out I’m wrong and just how important Boomer is to her. Now that I can see her for who she is, she better watch out. I’m coming for her, and I’ll make her mine. **18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.

I’m grateful my brother, Crosby, is back in Magnolia Point to help me close the shop and celebrate Record Store Day as our last hurrah.

AVA I hired Joshua to do a job for the company I run. The contract is very specific about the scope of work and doesn’t include anything about him wanting me. Still, he gives me the opportunity to get something I’ve always wanted—a baby. There isn’t anything in the contract about him making me fall in love with him either. Joshua seduces me with words as he whispers dirty things in my ear. There’s something primal in his eyes when he says he wants to breed me, but that doesn’t mean we’re forever. The more he says and the longer he looks at me like I belong to him, the harder it is to resist him. This is not the contract I signed, but maybe it’s the one I need. JOSHUA I’ve seen my sister, Aspen, and my best friend, Liam, in their happy lives and I’ve let them be, thinking it wasn’t for me. I was wrong. The moment I meet Ava, I know she’s the only woman I’m going to need for the rest of my life. The contract signed between our companies is just about the IT work she needs done, but what is between us won’t be over when the job is done. I’m going to plant my baby in her and watch it grow. The thought of having a baby makes her eyes light up, but she doesn’t realize I’m part of the deal too. I’m going to make Ava mine and then I’m never letting her go; her or our baby. We have a contract, and I won’t let her break it. *18+ If you like alpha heroes and an insta-love story that is sweet and spicy but isn’t necessarily simple, then this is for you.
