    About this series

    I seduced my rival for a deal. Now I'll do anything to claim her for good.

    I'm Sebastian Shaw-CFO, pragmatist, and moneymaker. I've mismanaged love in the past, but when it comes to business, I'm pure shark, able to cut down any threat to my success . . . except Sloan O'Neill. We're vying for the same major client, so I do what any self-respecting cutthroat does to gain the upperhand: spy on the ball-busting piece of work. She may be gorgeous and unnervingly clever, but I have skills. My gutsy hourglass-shaped roadblock doesn't stand a chance.

    Until I realize I'm falling for her.

    Suddenly, everything from my objectives to my morals is cloudy. Stay loyal to my best friend and boss to win this critical client at any cost . . . or give my heart another chance? But the more time I spend with my redheaded adversary, the more I realize she's not just ambitious but kind, vulnerable . . . and perfect for me. Sloan has no idea how far I'll go to make her mine-but she's about to find out.

    Contains mature themes.

      I'm Maxon Reed-real estate mogul, shark, asshole. If a deal isn't high-profile and big-money, I pass. Now that I've found the property of a lifetime, I'm jumping. But one tenacious bastard stands between me and success-my brother. I'll need one hell of a devious ploy to distract cynical Griff. Then fate drops a luscious redhead in my lap who's just his type. Sassy college senior Keeley Kent accepts my challenge to learn how to become Griff's perfect girlfriend. But somewhere between the makeover and the witty conversation, I'm having trouble resisting her. The quirky dreamer is everything I usually don't tolerate. But she's beyond charming. I more than want her; I'm desperate to own her. I'm not even sure how drastic I'm willing to get to make her mine-but I'm about to find out. Contains mature themes.

      I'm Griffin Reed-cutthroat entrepreneur and competitive bastard. Trust is a four-letter word and everyone is disposable . . . except Britta Stone. Three years ago, she was my everything before I stupidly threw her away. I thought I'd paid for my sin in misery-until I learned we have a son. Finding out she's engaged to a bore who's rushing her to the altar pisses me off even more. I intend to win her back and raise our boy. I'll have to get ruthless, of course. Luckily, that's one of my most singular talents. Sixty days. That's what I'm asking the gritty, independent single mother to give me-twenty-four/seven. Under my roof. And if I have my way, in my bed. Britta says she wants nothing to do with me. But her body language and passionate kisses make her a liar. Now all I have to do is coax her into surrendering to the old magic between us. Once I have her right where I want her, I'll do whatever it takes to prove I more than need her. Contains mature themes.

      I'm Noah Weston. For a decade, I've quarterbacked America's most iconic football team and plowed my way through women. Now I'm transitioning from star player to retired jock-with a cloud of allegation hanging over my head. So I'm escaping to the private ocean-front paradise I bought for peace and quiet. What I get instead is stubborn, snarky, wild, lights-my-blood-on-fire Harlow Reed. Since she just left a relationship in a hugely viral way, she should be the last woman I'm seen with. On second thought, we can help each other . . . I need a steady, supportive "girlfriend" for the court of public opinion, not entanglements. Harlow is merely looking for nonstop sweaty sex that wrings pleasure from her oh-so-luscious body. Three months-that's how long it should take for us both to scratch this itch and leave our respective scandals behind. But the more I know this woman, the less I can picture my life without her. And when I'm forced to choose, I'll realize I don't merely want her in my bed or need her for a ruse. I more than love her enough to do whatever it takes to make her mine for good. Contains mature themes.

      I'm Evan Cook-billionaire tech entrepreneur and widower. Professionally, I've got it all. But since my wife died, my personal life has fallen apart. Remarrying seems like the obvious answer, so I place an ad. I'm not asking for much. The ideal woman only needs to be smart, organized, pretty, and helpful-both in and out of bed-without expecting romance. I never thought to look right in front of me . . . but it turns out that Nia Wright, my sexy, sassy assistant, just might be the perfect candidate. After an unexpectedly hot night together, I'm ready to stop interviewing strangers and simply marry her. On paper, she ticks every box on my list. Best of all, she's far too sensible to fall for me. I didn't see the flaw in my logic until it was too late. I never thought I'd lose my heart for the first time. And I definitely never imagined Nia could consume me. But she's harboring a secret that could tear us apart. Can I prove I more than crave her before it's too late? Contains mature themes.

      I dared her to spend a hot, no-strings night with me. Now I'm determined to keep her forever. I'm Trace Weston, recently reformed womanizer. In the blink of an eye, I went from busy bachelor to full-time single dad. My life was already complicated before my sister-in-law asked me to show off my bedroom skills to her bestie, who's wanting to experience real pleasure now that her one-and-only long-term relationship is over. Gorgeous Masey Garrett isn't my "usual." She's shy, sassy, driven, and incredibly kind. Suddenly I'm falling fast . . . but she's only mine for a night. What's a former player to do? Change the rules. Now she's under my roof night after night, letting me into her body and her life. Her heart? Not so much. She loves my newborn son. Me? I can't tell. I'm pulling out all the stops to win her over, but she's not taking me seriously. Other than passion, how can I reach her? Every attempt only pulls me deeper under her spell. Sure, I could drop an L bomb . . . except that once imploded my heart. But when her past collides with my desired future, can I risk everything and dare Masey to stay with me forever? Contains mature themes.

      I romanced her for revenge . . . but what if she's not the enemy after all? I'm Clint Holmes. I was an ambitious guy with a busy life and a growing business. Sure, North Dakota wasn't a tropical paradise, but I was happy enough-until tragedy struck. Now the only thing that matters is finding the person responsible and making her pay. But Bethany Banks is a Harvard-educated shark used to swallowing her enemies whole while playing dangerous corporate games. How can a blue-collar oil man like me possibly beat her? The moment I lay eyes on my beautiful nemesis, the answer is obvious. I seduce her. On Maui, where she's fled, I get to know the man-eater who caused my family so much pain . . . only to find she's not the brazen ballbuster I assumed. She's skittish, secretive, vulnerable. For some reason, my instinct is to protect her. I can't abandon my plan . . . but I can't stop wanting her. Night after night, I pry her open with my touch until I'm drowning in our passion. Soon, I'm questioning everything, especially the fine line between love and hate. But when the past comes back to wreak vengeance and the truth explodes, can I prove that I'm more than tempted to love her forever? Contains mature themes.
