When a kiss...
All reporter Sadie Barton wants is to be taken seriously and judged on her own merits, not her stepfather’s money. She and her actress sister left Wisconsin to get out from under his controlling thumb and leave behind the malicious whispers that they’re no better than their gold-digging mother. But California isn’t all sun and fun, and paying the rent while trying to prove herself is harder than she ever imagined.
...is more than a kiss...
Something about Sadie drew self-made millionaire Zach Robinson—and it wasn’t just the amazing kiss they shared as impromptu actors in his company's commercial. He’s used to women being interested in his wealth, and Sadie’s fierce independence is an enticing breath of fresh air. He’s falling fast—until his brother suggests acting runs in her family and Sadie might not be exactly what she seems...

The best laid plans…
Halli Sanders spent two years

in the first three hours.
…often go awry.
Trent Tomlin put his movie career
on hold to investigate his brother’s murder-ruled-suicide at his Italian villa.
He’s closing in on the suspects when an American tourist unwittingly films the
murder of the retired cop helping him. The killers will stop at nothing to get

Life’s
a little different unscripted.

real-life hero, Trent finds himself falling for the Plain Jane whose beauty
blossoms with every challenge they face. But how can he keep the evidence from falling into the

Summer Clark: Yes, I’m excited for my ten year class
reunion—I flew all the way from Florida to Wisconsin so I could rub my success
in Josh Nelson’s face. I know it sounds
vindictive, but the jerk ditched me at the Snowball dance, left me to find my
own ride home, and never apologized.
He’s got it coming…if I can get a tow truck to come out in this freak
May snowstorm and pull my rental car out of the ditch.
Josh Nelson: No, I’m not looking forward to the
reunion. Just hearing the name Summer
Clark brings back memories of a night I buried long ago and never talked about
again. Seeing her means skirting the
truth while trying to deliver a way-too-late apology. No, with this storm, I think I’ll head
home…as soon as I help this car sunk in the ditch.
Clearly, there are two sides to every story.

Reformed gang member Wes Carter feels
Redemption, Wisconsin, is just the place to relocate his financial business for
reasons more than just the name. He’s ready for a nice, quiet life in small
town USA. Tara Russell has decided it’s time to add some excitement to her life
and get a little wild—no matter how uncomfortable it makes her or her
overprotective family. They meet at the local fair one warm summer night and
discover opposites attract for all the right reasons. Add a dash of Sugar in
the form of an incorrigible Great Dane, and it’s destined to be A Fair To
Remember.
Charlie Russell lived with a secret for fourteen years, but
now guilt has pushed him to the breaking point. He meets psychologist Dana
McClain and feels an instant connection that has nothing to do with his Great
Dane, Sugar, spilling coffee down her shirt. Dana switched to counseling
animals because she has a history of becoming too emotionally involved with her
clients. She figures she’s safe helping Charlie with Sugar’s issues, until he
reveals his secret and asks for her help. She tries to convince herself it's
all about the dog, not the guy, but history has a way of repeating itself.
All Allie Daniels ever wanted was a family of her own—until
her doctor informs her she’ll never be able to have children. She hides her
desolation, refusing to let any man close enough to see her broken heart. Most
certainly not the town veterinarian, who’s cute three-year-old son reminds her
of what she’ll never have.
Rick Wilde had a serious crush on Allie back in high school,
but life took them in different directions. Now a single parent, he returns to
Redemption several years later to raise his son, Lukas. His interest in Allie
is renewed, but her shoulder is colder than the bitter winter wind.
Brought together by an orphaned kitten, Allie finds herself
helpless to resist Lukas’s impish innocence—not to mention Rick’s warm charm
and sexy good looks. Does she dare take a chance on an impossible dream, or
will Rick’s desire for more kids devastate their future?

When his father announced his engagement to a gold-digger with a lying,
scheming fourteen-year old daughter, seventeen-year old Tripp Warner left
Warner Ridge Ranch and never looked back. Until the day he got the phone call
that his father had died unexpectedly.
Reggie Reed lives with her guilt
every day but can't quite work up the courage to track down the son of the man
who raised her as his own. When Tripp shows up at his father’s funeral eleven
years later--and a hell of a man to be reckoned with--he has no interest in her
too-late apology. Worse, they’ve inherited half shares of the family ranch—but
only if they work together to catch Mason’s Gold, the stallion a young Reggie
let escape and made sure Tripp took the blame for.
Tripp proposes a secret competition to the beautiful witch who stole his
life: whoever catches the stallion first gets the ranch all to themselves. It
sounds simple, but once they’re out on the range, tempers and passions flare in
the Texas heat and nothing goes as either of them expects.
Can they work together to keep the ranch, or will
their past get in the way of their future?
