Fake dating my best friend? Total disaster.With his cocky grin and devilish charm, firefighter Lee Sullivan makes every woman in our small town swoon. Every woman except for me.Which is why I'm shocked when he steps in at the town's Matchmaker's Gala and outbids my crush during the charity auction, committing us to six prearranged dates.Six dates where we, very publicly, pretend to be falling in love.Despite my objections and our efforts to set each other up with other people, Lee is convinced pretending to date each other is the perfect opportunity to get the women in town off his back (and out of his bed), while also helping to nudge my non-committal crush in the jealousy department.Stupidly, I agree.After the disastrous blind dates he set me up on, what's a few months of letting Lee worship the ground I walk on? He owes me.Trouble is--every fake kiss, every lingering touch, every filthy word he whispers when no one is around--is starting to feel very, very real.We know everything about each other--from my orphaned past to his irrational hatred of dolls. The only secret I have ever kept from Lee spans all the way back to his time in the Army and it's the one thing that could ruin our friendship forever.Because where Lee is concerned, I have learned to guard my heart. Suddenly, he's asking for the opportunity to feel something real. He's asking for the one thing he wouldn't want if he ever knew the truth: one chance.

Falling hard for my ex-boyfriend's rugged older brother was never in the plan.Beckett Miller may be my brother's best friend, but he's also the last person on earth I want to ask for help. He's stubborn, demanding, and doesn't care at all what people think of him-everything his little brother wasn't, and definitely everything I should not want.Thanks to my own stubbornness and my three infuriating siblings, he is the only one who can help me renovate my beloved aunt's farmhouse.Beckett thinks I'm a doormat, and I know he's an arrogant prick, but toss in one late-night game of tipsy strip poker, and before long, endless summer days turn into scorching nights.Every stolen touch-every kiss-is wrong in the best ways.I can fix everything around me: my friends' problems, my brothers' love lives, maybe even the decades-old rivalry that divides our cozy coastal town. So Beckett's snarl and heavy sighs are no match for me.The only thing I can't seem to fix is the way my body reacts when he swings a hammer. I built walls to protect my heart after what his brother did to me, but I'm finding it could all come crumbling down with just one touch.

I never should have slept with Colin McCoy.When I moved to my sister's small town, I was looking for a fresh start-no more shallow relationships, no snotty fake friends, and definitely no charming, dirty-talking musicians.We had a fun, red-hot night together and we agreed that hooking up was a mistake, a one-time thing. But when my dream bakery location happens to be right next door to his bar, every day I'm forced to see that chiseled jawline and remember the feel of his incredible body on mine.No. I'm starting over. I have rules. No more bad habits, definitely no falling in love. No matter how hard he tries, hooking up with him again would prove I'm the flake everyone expects me to be.But here I am, stuck between wanting to make something of my life and wanting to grab him and make another delicious mistake.

I never thought I'd find her.After eight years in the Marines, I'm still looking for the mysterious woman I've obsessed over since her first letter. When she shows up in my small town, I'm thrilled.But when she turns out to be my brother's best friend--and the girl he's always loved--I'm caught between the two people who matter to me the most.I'm a Marine, which means honor and duty run deep. Joanna is off-limits. That would be a whole lot easier if she hadn't already agreed to help run my brother's fishing guide business for the summer, forcing me to work side-by-side with the woman I've fantasized about for years.I try to keep her at a distance, push her away, man up. But she draws me in without even trying, and I can't get enough of how she makes me feel. I'm stealing moments with her, and I know it's wrong. She may not be my brother's girlfriend, but I know a landmine when I see one.
