He’s burly, bearded and irresistibrew! Is there anything better than that?

After being cheated on, I conclude that I’m done with dating—forever.

Nothing good can come of it.

I’m so over relationship drama that I take off on an adventure to help my brother, Christian, open his new Coffee Loft franchise in the rural mountain town of Mapleton, Vermont. It’s supposed to be a simple escape, a chance to hide from heartbreak.

What I didn’t expect is to meet Stallone, a handsome and rugged man, with a gaze that makes me weak in the knees.

Im not looking for love, but it’s okay to have a little distraction.

He quickly shutsdown my flirtation, making it clear he’s not looking for anything.

Perfect. Neither am I.

Except when I look back at him, his gaze so dialed into mine, my heart skips a beat.

He’s a very attractive distraction.

Maybe I am looking? Just a little.

Erralee has a decision to make. One choice promises to save lives and end a ruthless war. The other is her one shot at true love.

Erralee D'Long

My fate was stolen the day my arrogant father made a deal to save his country. Now, I've promised to marry a powerful king of a faraway kingdom.

Sounds like a fairy tale, but it's a nightmare.

The only feelings I have for this man are dread, dread, and more dread.

Since I have no desire to be betrothed, I'm running away.

Problem solved.

Reeves Mathews

Discharged from the army with a single pat on the back and a prosthetic hand, all I want is a fresh start. I'm happy to score the last plot of farmland from the king's recent auction. Excited to get on with my life alone, everything is going according to plan until a snowstorm traps the girl next door at my house.

Did I mention she's beautiful?

As hard as I try to fight our connection, I can't deny there's something there.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to say she's also a princess, who is engaged to a king who owns the most powerful army.

Lucky me, right?

My first year playing center for the brand-new AHL team, and things are off to a disastrous start.

After losing my temper with the refs in front of a fan-filled arena, my coach devises a plan to “make me more likable.”

It's a horrible plan that isn't going to work.

He wants me to pretend to date a famous singer in hopes that her fans will become my fans.

The last thing I want to do is date, pretend to date, or think about dating. Who has time for that when I have hockey games to win? When my coach forces me to pose for a publicity photo with this woman, I vow to get it over with as quickly as possible.

But she has other plans for me.

With her ebony hair and mischievous smile, the unhinged female edges her way into my heart. When the magnetism between us explodes, it's game over.

Just when I think I'm ready to let Sophie melt my heart, I uncover a devastating secret that changes everything.

A thief on the run, and a celebrity actress looking for a fresh start.

The name's Jasper Knight, and I'm a thief—but not one of those criminals. I steal to survive, only taking stuff people don't want. Well . . . except for that one time I accidentally robbed a pirate.

A pirate who now wants to kill me.

So, I'm running.

Right into a cry-baby female who got in my way.

Okay, maybe I thought she was beautiful, but she was still in my way.

When I learned she owned a boat, she quickly became my plan to disappear. I convinced her to hire me as a ship captain. Now, she's my boss. It was all just too easy, until . . . we crashed into a deserted island.

An All-Star football player. A popular cheerleader. Can they finally move from the friend zone to the end zone?

Gia Bella

I've been working this low-wage-going-nowhere job for ten years. Don't even ask about my dating life. Yes, sir, life is pretty…uneventful. That is until my hoarding dad accidentally burrito-wraps himself in his collection of fly paper.

I'll pause so you can visualize that.

Who should answer his bellowing cries for help, but none other than the boy next door—A.K.A. North Newson, the single man I've loved since I was six years old. Only now, he's all grown up, and still oh so handsome. With decades of unrequited love steeping, I can't fight the attraction anymore.

However, there's one small issue.

Just when we make progress, he pulls away as he did last time, leaving me to wonder if he's falling for me too, or if he's just simply being a nice guy.

North Newson

Highschool was football and Gia, but life brought about one giant fumble for both.

I moved on from football, going to college for coaching instead. I lucked out and scored the head coaching job at the very same school I had attended. But I never moved on from Gia no matter how hard I tried. When a second chance with Gia shows up, the instant magnetism returns, and I try my hardest to win her heart.

However, theres one small issue.

Someone is trying to keep us apart.

Only this time I vow not to be defeated again.

No matter what happens.
