Ruggedly Handsome Series

"LANCE HOLLAND MIGHT have saved me from a fire. But he's about to burn my entire life to the ground... I'm married to my high school sweetheart Anthony. The two of us have been together through thick and thin. Lately, though, it seems like things keep getting thinner and thinner between us with each passing day... Anthony is away on business again. In my private lexicon, that means he's probably off somewhere cheating on me. I'm so sure that he's being unfaithful, but he always denies it, and makes me think I'm crazy for accusing him. One night I can't take it anymore. I crash at my best friend Laura's apartment, needing a change of scenery and a shoulder to cry on. I wake up from my nap to a blaze of hellfire. The entire building has gone up in flames around me, and I've inhaled too much smoke to get to my feet and escape. Just when I think all hope is lost, a face appears. A handsome face. With dark, beautiful eyes. Sharp features. An intensity that takes my breath away. A set of powerful arms lifts me into the air, and carries me through the flames which threaten to devour me. But is this man truly my guardian angel? Or is he secretly a devil in disguise?"  

  "Sergio Jackson is good with his hands. But can he piece my shattered life back together again? I feel like I'm all alone in the world. My parents have both passed away. My career as an artist is going nowhere. And after an ugly break up with my long-time boyfriend, I can no longer even afford to live in the city. I'm glad to be rid of a jerk like Landon Monroe, but without him, I'm left completely adrift in the world, wondering where on earth I'll go next. The answer, it turns out, is a small town called Worthington, Virginia. My grandparents once lived there, and my aunt owns an old house that she says she'll let me live in for free. There's only one catch- the house is dilapidated, falling to pieces, and looks as though it hasn't been set foot in for half a century. Strong, rugged, and devilishly handsome, Sergio Jackson is exactly the kind of man I need to turn this musty old house into a home. The only problem is, both he and his father Jack seem to hate me for being a city slicker, and I'm not too crazy about the two of them in return. But when the temperature drops down and the heat turns up between me and my new handyman, I wonder if the sparks that fly between us will burn my brand new life to the ground..."

Big Bad Jason Lord... That's what they call him around here, anyway. I'm excited about my new office job. I'm looking forward to the pay, the freedom it gives me, and the connections I might make in a city where I hardly know anyone. What I'm not looking forward to is my billionaire boss Mr. Lord pushing me around each day from sunup until sundown. I think he goes out of his way to make me miserable just so he can have total control over me. Of course, there's a part of me that can't help but respect that. I've always been a shy thing—very much on the reserved side—and I can't help but crave the authority of my much older, much more commandeering boss. Still, though, I'm not sure how much more of this I can take. By the time my first week is over, I'm completely tangled up in his web of sin and deceit. And I'm pretty sure that's exactly where he wants me to be. A Contemporary Workplace, Plus-sized-Woman-Meets-Mature-Billionaire Romance

Evan Copland is the love of my life. The only problem is, young lives don't always go the way they're supposed to... He was my first crush. The first boy I ever loved. He was sweet sexy, caring and funny. He was, in other words, the total package. I still remember all the fun we had together. I remember how anxious I used to get whenever he would walk into a room. I remember how jealous I would get whenever I saw him with another girl. I remember how special he made me feel on the night of our senior prom. Like I was the only girl in the world. The only girl who could ever hold his attention, or the precious real estate of his heart. He said we would be together forever. But life had other plans. We make it through our first semester of college together, before I'm transferred to another school several hours away from him. To this day I think my parents are largely responsible for that, because they've always hated Evan's family, and never supported our relationship. Still though, I think our regular phone calls and the strength of the love between us are more than enough to sustain us. That is, until I start to get a taste of campus life, and I begin to question what it is I truly desire- The love of an incredible man like Evan, or my right as a young woman to be wild and free..."
