There are two loves in my life: money and women. What can I say? I’m a simple man. Unfortunately, my passions make it hard to behave, and the board of directors in my company is getting nervous. America’s most eligible bachelor just bought the biggest lingerie fashion company in the country, Cupid’s Arrows. The message from my advisors—don’t look at any of the models sideways. You’ve got to be kidding me. Do they realize who I am? But I behave… until the top model walks in the room. She’s my personal challenge poured into an hourglass figure. I’m hurting in all the best ways. Best part? She makes me second-guess everything I thought I knew about what I wanted in life. All of a sudden, one night isn’t enough. Not with her. It’s a hands-off situation though. My hands off her. And it’s not working. It would seem that cupid has shot his arrow, and he used my heart for his practice round.

The one person I can’t stand wants me to be her bridesmaid. My sister. Not that I have time for her crap. I’m a stockbroker in training and the last thing I need is to cater to my high-maintenance sibling’s every desire. And her first request? To learn to ride horses. So she can enter the wedding on one. You’ve got to be kidding me. We’ve never even touched a horse before. With lots of peer pressure and guilt tripping, we head to a breathtaking ranch, and lucky for me, the horses aren’t the only beautiful things to look at. The riding instructor is honestly the hottest guy I’ve ever seen. Everything about him sends me in a tizzy. Best of all, he’s nothing like my sister’s rich jerk of a fiancé. Wealthy guys are the worst. I work for them, with them, and avoid them at all cost. This hottie and I hit it off, and he offers to be my plus-one to the wedding, with a fake romance attached to it. I couldn’t be more thrilled until things start to not feel so fake anymore. I’m falling for his charm, his way with words, his scorching body. He’s perfect, until he’s not. Turns out, he’s a billionaire in disguise. And here I thought things wouldn’t be fake for long. Guess I was wrong.

My guy best friend needs a best man, and he’s asking me—a girl. Not that I’m surprised. We’ve been inseparable since birth. Who else was he going to ask? Juggling this wedding and being a single mom is going to be a feat. But I got this. All is rolling smoothly until my friends shake up another tradition. Seems the bride is asking a guy to be her maid of honor. And not just any guy either. Her brother. My ex. Unfortunately, this guy is hot as hell. He’s also a demon that crawled right out of those fiery pits. The same pits he sent our relationship to when he chose the military over me. Now he’s back. As an underwear model, no less. How in the world they expect us to work together is beyond me. But for them, I’d do just about anything. Even jack up my perfect life that took me years to put back together. I’m immune to this jerk now. I’m not letting him back in. All I have to do is work with him for one month. One month to keep my legs shut, my pants up, and my eyes and hands to myself. It’ll be easy, right? Unless he shows off the goods. Then I’m in trouble. Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

The hottest nerd I know just became my roommate. But it’s a no-go on the downlow, seeing as he’s my best friend’s brother. The best part is that he’s a hunk and a half, but oh so smart. How can one guy have all the good stuff? And now he’s in my face all the time. I just needed a place to stay while I’m in grad school. And it’s entertaining watching this sexy IT genius create a new dating app. Not so fun being his guinea pig until something crazy happens… He turns out to be my perfect match on the app. We’re too good as friends to mess this up, plus my BFF is less than thrilled about all of it. No matter how much I want this guy, he’s gonna have to match me up with someone else. As if.

He’s a playboy like no other… The crown prince of New York City’s real estate industry. A pompous jerk who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and a camera in his face. All of which makes him absolutely perfect. Not for me, obviously, but for something much more important—to save the online fashion magazine I’m the editor of. It’s too bad I can’t get within a mile of the guy. Until I can. Well, I can’t, but my best friend can and she’s willing to sneak me into her photo shoot so I can take my shot. Honestly, I don’t have much hope. I’m no makeup artist and he pegs me as an imposter immediately. As it turns out, however, I’m not the only one who needs something. I might need a model with clout for the fashion show that could save my job, but hot stuff needs a little help too. A lot, actually. He needs a fiancée, and he introduces me as her without warning. As if I had a choice? However, it’s only one date, and if I don’t do it, the magazine is as good as dead. So, yes. Yes, of course I’ll fake it with him for one night. What could possibly go wrong?

My younger brother hates me… he’s getting married. And of course, my mother is going to have a field day with me still being a bachelor. But love is for the birds. I don’t have time for that madness. So, a fake date from an agency will work in a pinch. Hope this poor damsel in distress is up for having to meet my wretched family. If she survives, I’ll have to give her a bonus. Or hire her for my lonelier nights. Much to my surprise, she’s not at all what I thought she would be. Curvy, bold, hilarious – everything I want in my life. This isn’t good. Why in the world would a woman like her sell her time to a man like me? Surely there’s more to her story than meets the eyes. Not my problem. I just need one thing from the delicious beauty. Fake it real good, baby. Fake it good.

Reckless. That’s what they call me. I rush into burning building to save lives, and I wish it was for a just cause. It’s not. It’s to prove that I’m worthy of love. A messed-up knee, and my dreams of being in the NFL are gone. I’m fearless when it comes to fighting back death. That’s not what f*cks me up. It’s living that gets me. The last thing I need in my life is a woman, no matter how bad I want one. And yet, this one has me pacing the floor. The single mom who owns my crew’s favorite restaurant is sweet, loving, and hot as hell. It’s not that easy, though. She’s lost too much in her life to give out free chances to men like me. But I’m not asking for a chance. I’m taking it. Every Good Girl Deserves a Bad Boy. ~ Weston

I need a woman to help me shut up my big Greek family. And my new intern is perfect for the job, though pretending to have a relationship with her might be a little taboo. Good thing I’m in charge. Being a self-made billionaire, I haven’t spent much time looking for love. None actually. Lucky for me, it’s fallen right into my lap. This pretty American girl has zero sense of direction, but a good heart and a sexy smile. I’ve always been smitten by a woman that needs rescuing, or so it seems. Something tells me that she might be more than I bargained for. Either way, I just need her to fake it for me until it appears real. Funny how real it quickly becomes. Every Good Girl Deserves a Bad Boy. ~ Weston

There’s only been one woman for me, and she’s never truly been mine. But I don’t have much time for anyone anyway, with my focus on my career. I’m a military man through and through, from generation to generation. This one girl, though. She stole my heart when we were kids, but it’s taboo, forbidden. She’s my best friend’s little sister, and he’d kill us both. After my mom recently lost my dad, a quick trip home to help her brings me face to face with the past. It was just one wild night years ago, but I can’t shake it. She left before the break of dawn, going back to the sea, and I took my place up in the air once again. But she’s never left my mind. Her soft curves and sweet heart haunted me. And now that we’re back in the same small town for two weeks, I find out she’s in a bad relationship and hiding a secret from me. A four-year-old little man with my smile and her eyes. My dream was to stay in the Air Force until retirement, but that dream has changed. So have I.

She’s every fantasy I’ve ever had, and she was mine.For one night.And then she left to LA to become a rockstar. My Clark Kent appeal wasn’t enough to keep her around, but she missed out.After graduating law school and becoming the alpha male jack-ass type that she always loved, I returned the favor.One more night of passion, but it was my turn to break her heart.Every whisper against my skin, every moan from her lips haunted me for years and years. What the hell had I done?Was it so f*cking important to be right? To repay heartbreak with heartbreak?All these years later and her band is in bankruptcy, and I’m on the wrong side of the courtroom.Winning is everything to me, but I already played the game and lost against her.I can’t do it again, especially not when I find out she’s a single mom with a pretty little girl.A little girl that looks – Just. Like. Me.No way she’s been keeping our baby a secret from me all these years. If so, the final joke has always been on me.She was, is, and will always be - My One and Only.Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

What’s worse than getting divorced? Going to your ex-wife’s wedding—alone. I need more than just a fake date on my arm. I need her. She’s an itch I can’t scratch. This whole thing started without expectations. She’s my daughter’s teacher, after all. Hands. Off. But it’s Christmas. And the only gift I’m hoping for is more time with her. It might be snowing in other parts of the world, but here, it’s going to be such a hot Christmas.

Valdez, the bleak town in Alaska that I put in my rear-view mirror a decade ago, is calling me back. My mother is dying, and I’m the only one left who can take care of her. Returning to my home town after building the life I wanted for myself and my daughter in Florida won’t be a walk in the park. It holds memories that I have been trying to forget for a long time, memories of a beautiful raven-haired girl. Rein. She is the only good thing that could possibly be left in Valdez, and she hates my guts. I abandoned her all those years ago and never looked back. I couldn’t. Now, I know we’ll come face to face again. It’s only a matter of time. Valdez is a small town with no places for me to hide, and even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t be able to resist trying to see her. Time has changed me from a boy to a father and the owner of a billion-dollar oil company. I can only imagine what ten years have done for the woman I left but never forgot. Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

No one ever tells me no. Not in the office. Not in life. My military background has me giving direct orders and expecting quick, compliant responses. And I’m in need of an office assistant. Someone to step up when I need her to. I just never expected it to be my first love. She’s a single mother now. The girl from across the street when I was just a kid. My little sister’s best friend. The one I gave everything to before leaving that small town. And here we are again. Face to face. Stuck in a room with suits and stiffs. All I want is her. Not who she can be or what she can do for me. But who she was and will always be. Mine. Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~Weston

My brother is an idiot; he's getting married. And I’m in charge of getting things together since our folks are gone. Lucky me. The guy who thinks love is for the birds and worn-out 80s songs. I honestly don’t have time for this drama. I run a billion-dollar company, have women to entertain, and am working on my plans to rule the world. No, seriously. And yet, when you least expect it, life kicks you in the balls. The beautiful, snarky woman that runs the flower shop is perfect to help me pull off this wedding. Just seeing her sends my head spinning with possibilities. She’s perfect. To play my fake wife for an event I have coming up as a side deal. My ex-wife will be at the event, and I sure could use someone to show her how well I’ve done since she ripped out my soul. So my curvy new friend gets my ring and a chunk of my wallet before agreeing to the deal. Funny thing is, I’m not so interested in taking it back by the end of the adventure. I’m willing to go all in on what might be the best decision of my life. And I’m demanding the same of her. No maybes. No I-don’t-knows. No fear of what might be or might not be. Open your pretty pink lips and utter the words. Say you do.

I needed a CFO and I got a mouthy, dominant, stunningly beautiful vixen instead. Having to retire from the military early was never in the long-term plans for my life. And when I lost my leg, my drive doubled. I’ve built my billion-dollar financial company from the ground up, but I need to groom a numbers person to help keep things humming. Lilac is the perfect pick. She’s not going to let anything get by her. Including me. Never in my life have I butted heads with someone so hard, but the effect is a high I’m not sure I can live without. This single mom doesn’t have a choice on where her future lies. I want her in my office, at the board table, and in my life forever. And what I want, I get. Every Good Girl Deserves a Bad Boy. ~ Weston

Not all alpha males are assholes. But the guy that messed up Tiffany’s self-image sure as hell was. This beautiful, curvy woman has held my imagination captive since the day she started working with me. She has no idea how gorgeous, powerful, and intelligent she is. But that ruse is up. I’m going to tell her. Show her. Press that truth upon her until she sees herself like I do. I haven’t been with a woman since losing my wife around the holidays, but it’s time to give love a second chance. My son and I are ready to have a family again. Now I just need to convince her to take a chance on me. It’ll be the best decision of her life. I’ll make sure of it. Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

Love is not a luxury a man like me can afford.I save lives for a living, and there’s no room for distractions. Until she is assigned to be my resident.The girl is everything I want and exactly what I can’t have.The hospital won’t allow it, and she’s far too young for me.But I need her more than I need my next breath.And luckily enough, she feels the same.In exchange for paying off some of her medical debts, she makes me an offer I can’t Herself.It could cost me my career. Hers too. I don’t care. I get what I want, and she’s no exception.We just have to keep our love affair between the sheets.Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~Weston

I’ve been an awful bad boy, and what do I get as a reward?A gorgeous fake date on my arm to mix, mingle, and be merry at my events.The kicker?She’s my best friend’s baby sister, ten years younger than me, and not on the menu as a Christmas treat.Even if she is the one thing I really do need.Both in the bedroom and my life.She has me wrapped around her little finger, even if she drives me to the brink.I tell her to wear black. She shows up in pink.She hops in the kissing booth. I hop off the edge.There’s one thing on my Christmas list this year.Naughty or nice, it doesn’t matter.My best friend’s little sister is all I want under the tree.She’s worth a trip to Tiffany’s, too.And if he hates me for it?I’ll just blame Santa, baby.Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~Weston

The last thing I need is to fall in love. Especially with him… My twin sister has other plans. She works for a hot new dating agency that’s all the buzz. And I made a pact with her. If we were still unmarried at thirty, we’d put ourselves out there fully. Well, the time has come. And my sister isn’t letting up. Now I have to start “dating in the dark,” whatever that means. The rules are strict but simple. No real names. No seeing each other for the first few dates. No exchanging personal info. Straightforward but never easy. Plus, I don’t have time for relationship drama. I have a hot, overbearing businessman breathing down my neck to buy my company. He’s easy to forget about when I start dating Mr. Perfect. My new “sight unseen” date is the stuff dreams are made out of. Until I realize that business guy and the new love of my life aren’t two people. It’s the same guy—the one I love to hate and love to love. Maybe it’s better to be single forever. Or maybe it’s you and me, baby. Forever.

I never meant to come back here. Home. My military career gave me the escape I needed from this place—and my mistakes. Now I have to face them. And the girl I left behind. I’ve missed her every day that I’ve been gone, but I never knew just how much I was leaving behind. She’s not all I turned my back on. She kept a secret from me. A baby who isn’t a baby anymore. He’s a grown boy with the same love for adventure as his father. But his mother? She may never forgive me, and I can’t blame her. Love like this only comes around once in a lifetime. Everyone deserves a second chance. Even me. Maybe. For them, I have to take my last shot.Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

I’m not an easy guy to get along with. Or so I’ve been told. Something about over-domineering, alpha-hole, and rich rubs people the wrong way. All good in the neighborhood. I’m not interested in relationships anyway. But unfortunately, thanks to my success, I need a new secretary. Or rather, I’m being forced to take on a new admin, and the conditions are clear—I’m not allowed to fire her for a year. Nothing like having rules sprung on you in your own company. So I hire a single mom with a pretty smile. Everyone likes her. Everyone but me. She’s got more fire than I expected. And no matter how abrasive or aloof I am, she presses harder against me. I’m falling for her stubborn nature and finding myself wanting to bend my rules of relationships to please her in any way I can. And then… she leaves. Quits without warning. Seems she has a secret. One an orphan like me can’t swallow without choking. My baby.

They want me to pose as Santa this year. And the media turns it quickly to "Naughty Santa." Say what? You cannot be serious. But it’s what I’m required to do if I want the billion-dollar family business come New Year's. There’s always a catch. The prize is just worth my efforts this time. Our sprawling chain of department stores are a cash cow like the world has never seen. And it’s all mine. New York’s hottest bachelor is on the hunt, dressed up as Mr. Claus and he’s looking for an elf that’ll hop off the shelf and entertain him. Just my luck that she’s cute, spicy, and doesn’t put up with me. Thankfully she looks stunning in a tutu and elf shoes. Too bad she hates my guts. My playboy ways and smart-mouth remarks haven’t won me any favors with her over the last ten years and that’s not ever going to change. Or is it? It is Christmas after all. The world thinks I’m calling the shots, but they have no idea my little elf has me wrapped around her pointed little finger.

She’s willing to fake it for money. Just my type of lady. But this isn’t just one night. I need twelve dates for a series of Christmas parties to promote my hotels. Being a forever bachelor means that I don’t have time for love or the games it plays. A fake date from an agency should solve my problems nicely. Not only is she stunning and everything I would choose if someone gave me a checklist, but she’s studying to become a surgeon. I’d gladly let her play doctor on me. *wink* But this job isn’t an easy one. I need the world to believe this girl is my soul mate. My billion-dollar resorts all rest on one thing—romance. So we gotta go in hot and heavy, like heaven and hell couldn’t separate the love between us. I’ve got the money if she’s got the skills. Now I just need to NOT fall in love. Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

Stood up at the aisle and now walking someone down it. I must be nuts. The story of my life. Love is the last thing I want to participate in, but it’s my little sister’s wedding. The woman is a hot-mess express about all of it, and honestly, she needs help from an expert. You know. Like me. I’ve got some ideas, but the maid of honor isn’t buying any of it. It doesn’t help that she’s my smoking-hot, secret high school sweetheart. Her being my sister’s BFF makes things even more sticky. But I love a good run around crazy-town. This one’s worth it. Of course the intention wasn’t to sneak around behind my sister’s back with her closest gal pal, but I can’t help myself. I know we aren’t right for each other, but my body can’t seem to get the message. The woman is difficult as hell and hard to work with, but she’s definitely mine to hold. Now to get her to feel the same way. Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston

I’ve made lots of mistakes. But never one like this. Back in high school, the girl next door spent a serendipitous night in my arms. But she wasn’t my type or really up to my level. So I walked away not knowing her secret—our secret. Years later, I’m still at the top of my game, ruling my own chunk of the world. She walks into my office a different woman. Strong, sexy, and dead set on revenge. I need to walk away again, but I can’t. She’s a different person, and yet, all the things that first had me taking a chance with her pull me back in—deeper this time. She’s going to wreck my life, one bad decision at a time, and I’m going to let her. The fact that the little man who calls her mom acts like me stops me in my tracks. He even loves the same things I do. Surely not. No damn way I’ve been a selfish bastard and haven’t considered the possibilities of our night together so long ago, but it’s true. He’s mine, and I’m instantly in love with both of them. I need one more chance, and I’ll do anything to get it. Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~ Weston
