Zoe Saldivar is more than just single—she's ALONE. She recently broke up with her longtime boyfriend, she works from home and her best friend Jen is so obsessed with her baby that she has practically abandoned their friendship. The day Zoe accidentally traps herself in her attic with her hungry-looking cat, she realizes that it's up to her to stop living in isolation.

Her seemingly empty life takes a sudden turn for the complicated—her first new friend is Jen's widowed mom, Pam. The only guy to give her butterflies in a very long time is Jen's brother. And meanwhile, Pam is being very deliberately seduced by Zoe's own smooth-as-tequila father. Pam's flustered, Jen's annoyed and Zoe is beginning to think "alone" doesn't sound so bad, after all.

Loved it! A delve into friendship, love and the ups and downs of what happens when they intermix. The characters were mesmerizing and kept my attention. I enjoyed seeing how all of the drama played out!

Zoe Saldivar is lonely. She recently broke up with her boyfriend, she is working from home at a job that no longer excites her, and her best friend Jen is too obsessed with her new baby to have any time for her anymore. She needs a change!

When Zoe said she wanted some excitement in her life, she didn’t exactly mean all of this! She’s befriending Jen’s mom, feels more attraction than she’s felt in a long time for Jen’s brother, and her own Dad is all of a sudden trying to woo Jen’s mom! What’s going on around here?

Olivia was the best thing that ever happened to me. But she’s a good girl, and I have a side that is far too dark for a minister’s daughter. When she started talking about plans after graduation, the only thing I could do was run back to Italy—to protect her from me. But she’s back in my life, and I need a wife before I can take full ownership of our failing vineyard and hotel. Only problem is, I want her again. No way can I put my hands on her. One kiss, one taste, could unleash the side of me that would only scare her.

If she discovers my dark side, I don’t know if she’ll flee back to the states, or surrender to me. What she doesn’t know is she already owns me, and if she leaves, I’ll never be the same.

A super sexy novella filled with a heated reunion story!  Must be okay with MM & menage to enjoy!

Olivia Fraser was the best thing that ever happened to Gio Rossi, but he had to walk away from her. His dark passion would have ruined the minister’s daughter for sure! He’s never forgotten her, and when he shockingly sees her visiting his family’s Italian vineyard, he believe his prayers have all been answered. Will Olivia agree to forgive Gio … and maybe help him get gain control of the vineyard before it’s too late?

It takes courage to choose love…

Internet security expert Michael Valentine knows his place in Kacey Hamilton's life. The soap opera star lives in two worlds: glamorous Hollywood and small town Santa Raquel, where she volunteers with him at The Lemonade Stand women's shelter. The key to their friendship is maintaining boundaries. And after an accident years ago left him badly scarred, he won't expect anything more. But when threats against Kacey escalate, Michael will stop at nothing to protect her. Even if his investigation means confronting more than just her attacker as Kacey's interest in him starts to go deeper than friendship…


Another great book revolving around volunteers at the Lemonade Stand women’s shelter in Santa Raquel. Many of you will recognize Kacey from her twin sister Lacey’s story a couple of books ago. It was great to get to see Lacey, Jem & Levi doing well! With this book, we have a story about two unlikely people to become the very best of friends … and how they adjust when the love they feel for their friend starts to turn into more. There are a couple of extra storylines at play as well that bring some emotional twists and turns to the plot.

Actress Kacey Hamilton enjoys her Hollywood lifestyle very much, but she also enjoys getting away from it all in her excursions to Santa Raquel to visit her twin sister and to volunteer at the women’s shelter there. She used to be the life of the party, but she decided she wanted to make some changes in her life and was lucky enough to find a friend that helped her hold herself accountable to sticking with her plan.

Cyber security expert Michael Valentine never imagined himself being friends with someone as glamorous as Kacey, but during their time at the shelter, they just clicked. A tragic accident years ago left him a scarred man, so he would never expect someone like her to want to be seen with him … but friendship seems to work out for them. When threats against Kacey start to get a little too close, Michael sets out to find answers of who might be behind it. Will friendship turn into more than they bargained for?
