      Bridger Thompson is a man of many secrets. When an explosion in Iraq damaged his ability to satisfy his then-fiance, he never dreamed the machine he built to carry out his husbandly duties would turn into a business. One that could never be associated with The Barnes’ Family, the darlings of reality TV. But a chance meeting with Dynassy Barnes stirs a desire in him that he hasn’t felt in years, and he’s determined to make her his. Dynassy Barnes is trying to clean up her act. When she meets the handsome and rugged former Navy Seal Bridger, Dynassy knows he’s the perfect guy to redeem her reputation with fans. And the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes her feelings for him are not just for the show. Even though Bridger knows his smut empire may destroy his relationship with Dynassy, he’s more concerned he won’t be able to love her the way she deserves. Because for that, he would need to become a MACHINE.

      He may be a player, but this stud's not shooting blanks. Nick I'm nobody's baby daddy. I don't care how many stunning women throw themselves at me, looking to turn one hot night into an 18-year paycheck. I've got way too much on the line to throw it away for one night of pleasure. Ball is life, and basketball is my first priority. I've got a championship to win. But when I see that familiar face shaking her pom-poms on the sidelines, I'm transported back to childhood, back to the days before a fiery plane crash ripped us apart, forcing us to grow up overnight. Those were the days when Eden Evans stole my heart. This time, I might be ready to give it right back to her. Eden I have no interest in a man who comes with groupies. With a rock legend for a father, I've seen the toll fame takes on a marriage. The last thing I need is a guy with more Twitter followers than Justin Bieber. So when Nick Barnes dribbles his way back into my life, my heart and head go into battle. I can't fight my desire for the sexy baller with his eight-pack abs and panty-dropping charm. And when that little stick shows an unmistakable plus sign, suddenly everything is on the line. With a secret baby on the way, will Nick realize that having the home court advantage is what he's wanted all along?

      A marriage bargain catapults the prince of rock and the princess of Martinovia to super-couple status, but a romantic honeymoon will prove to be the real test. Leo: My world is filled with everything most men desire - money, women, fame. The fans are great, but I’m an introvert, and the punishing pace of my career saps my creativity. I crave a life outside the spotlight, where I can create music in peace. But that freedom comes with a price. When I met Honoré, I had no idea she was a princess. And now I’m forced to marry her in order to prevent an international incident. In exchange, I win my freedom. And even though I hate the terms, I’m committed to the process. The fact that I’m incredibly hot for my new bride is simply a bonus. Honoré:  I only wanted to have a little fun - go to a concert, meet a handsome rock star. But ditching my security detail and pretending to be a groupie has landed me a husband and an unwanted starring role on the reality TV show “Honeymoon with the Royals”. Living out a relationship in front of cameras would take its toll on the most solid relationship. I’m terrified of what it might do to a fake one. Secretly, I hope the magical places we visit will help my husband discover there’s a real woman underneath the tiara. Because, whether I like it or not, he had me at “I do.”

      An international pop star. A single dad with a daughter who is in desperate of a donor. And a kidney transplant that will change their lives forever. "Donate a kidney', they said. "It’ll get you a lot of publicity", they said. What they didn’t tell me was that I’d wind up in a lot of pain and falling for a single dad and his daughter - a family whose lives couldn’t be more different from mine. Honestly, I did it to piss off my mother. But I had no idea that I’d have complications and need to stay with the little girl who was the recipient and her dad. Or that we would grow so close and begin to feel like a family. The kind of family I never knew existed, and certainly never realized I wanted. I always thought I’d wind up with some billionaire, but there’s something irresistible - primal - about a rugged man who lives off the land, who makes me feel protected, and loved not for my name, but for who I am inside...
