No promises. No expectations. No names. That''s what Emmett Stone agreed to with the woman who caught his eye two months ago. After years of drama following the end of his motorcycle club, a no-strings fling with a mystery woman is exactly what he needs. Except as they find themselves together more and more, it''s impossible for him to keep his feelings at bay. She''s clever and sassy. She''s gracious and kind. She loves riding on the back of his bike every Saturday afternoon and lazing in his bed every Sunday morning. She''s the perfect woman. Except she''s Nova Talbot, the daughter of his archenemy-the man who murdered his father. Her identity will cost her the man who''s captured her heart unless she can convince Emmett her feelings are true. Before he learns the reason she proposed their fling in the first place.

Leo Winter loves his life. He works when he needs money. He rides when he craves freedom. He frequents the local bar when he wants a good time. The Tin Gypsies might be a memory, but the bachelor life he lived with his motorcycle club still suits him fine. So when a one-night stand surprises him at a family barbecue and claims she''s pregnant with his child, he''s certain he''s died and gone to hell. Cassandra Cline took one night off from her structured life. One. And now her wild fling with the local bad boy has turned her life sideways. Her dreams and academic career are circling the drain, and none of it would have happened if she''d stayed far, far away from Leo. Except avoiding him is impossible, especially when she''s forced to move home to Clifton Forge, Montana. And he refuses to leave her side when a series of strange accidents put her and their baby at risk. But are they accidents? Or is she standing in the middle of a battlefield she doesn''t understand? Her only allies are people she barely knows. And a man who has the potential to steal her heart. If only he''d stop playing the fool.

Her past. His secrets. They have more in common than she knows. Maisy is happily content with the life she''s built for herself and her young son in small-town Prescott, Montana. Her child is thriving, her business is growing, and her family is as close as they''ve ever been. But when a handsome stranger walks into the lobby of her motel, her simple life is swept up in a wave of affection for his gentle heart. None of those feelings can be trusted, though. She made that mistake before with another man. The man she murdered. Hunter was a different man when he first saw Maisy Holt from afar. He took one look at her and ran in the opposite direction. But years later, he''s back in Montana and unable to keep his distance. He shouldn''t have tried to find her but he never was good at rejecting temptation. The promise of the good she could bring into his life is too hard to resist. Maybe if he can disguise the lies and hide the deceit, he can keep her from learning the truth. Because his only chance at a future with her is by burying his past.

Life on his ranch could be their future. If they can overcome their past. Felicity''s life story reads like the script to a bad soap opera. Girl''s high-school boyfriend becomes a drug addict. Girl falls for boyfriend''s best friend. Girl leaves them both behind only to return home years later for murdered ex-boyfriend''s funeral. Now she''s back home in Montana, ready to start fresh. She''s got a long list of amends to make and relationships to rebuild, including one with the man who has owned her heart for sixteen years. Silas doesn''t need much. He''s got a great horse, close friends and the Lucky Heart ranch, but something has always been missing. He''s not an idiot. He knows the missing piece is Felicity. And now that she''s returned to Prescott, he''s got a second chance to win her heart. This time, the only thing standing in his way is history. Drudging up the past is going to be about as painful as playing tug of war with barbed wire. But if they can heal old wounds, he''ll get the girl he should have had all along.

Clara Saint-James is completing a journey started by an old friend. She''ll return a Cadillac to California, a place she''s avoided for more than a decade. But it''s time for closure and to put old ghosts to rest. And it''s time to find out if the feelings she''s cherished for the boy from her past are just fanciful memories-or if there''s a chance they are real. Timing was never on her side, especially when it came to Karson Avery. The two of them lived in a junkyard as runaway teens, and though she wanted more than his friendship, he always belonged to another-until that one night when he was hers. When Clara finds Karson living in a small, coastal town, she''s not surprised the beautiful boy from her past grew into a stunning man. His smile is as captivating as ever. His eyes have the same roguish glint. But timing is still working against her. Clara must decide how far she''s willing to go to battle for Karson''s heart. Or if it''s time to let him go and surrender to the dotted lines that have always kept them apart.

Aria Saint-James has planned the perfect getaway: sweatpants, takeout and two weeks alone with her sister and nephew. Nowhere on that list is wearing a low-cut dress and uncomfortable heels to attend a wedding where she knows neither the bride nor the groom.

One horrific night of blood and death, and now she''s living under his roof-all because he swore an oath to serve and protect. Scarlett is stubborn and infuriating. She has no respect for the order in his structured life, and she never does anything she''s told. Worse, she doesn''t seem to care that the information she has on a motorcycle gang means she might end up dead. But her unwavering strength, her courage and tenacity and beauty, makes it impossible for him to abandon her. If Luke is going to keep her safe, he''ll have to make the hardest decision of his life. He can either honor his values as a cop, knowing Scarlett is unlikely to survive . . . or he can break all the rules and protect the woman who''s invaded his home and his heart.
