    About this series

    Things Rachel Groff needs: her daughter out of diapers, the back child support she’s owed, freedom from her devious, dirtbag ex-husband. 

    Rachel has inched her way towards financial security over three years of solo parenting. Clinging to her hard-won independence, she is on guard against the type of man who deceived her in the past. Men like the too-hot and too-charming divorced dad who claims to be nothing like her ex.  


    Things Theo Melis loves: kayaking along the bayou, baking pies, being with his son.

    His big gamble has paid off: his brewpub is in the black and garnering great reviews. Now Theo’s focused on earning a favorable rating from his manager’s ex-wife. He’s taken with her strength and ferocity of purpose, and proud when she allows him to help her escape the stresses of life. But one moment Rachel melts into him; the next, she jerks away, leaving him overheated and confused. 


    Theo longs to earn Rachel’s trust. Rachel’s heart yearns for him, but her instincts have devastated her before. Every step they take could be a disastrous misstep. If they move in unison, can they discover a path worth taking?

      Serena Colby has her life perfectly planned out. She grew up moving from place to place, and is determined to find a permanent home that’s hers and hers alone. Her career as a graphic artist is on the rise and everything is lining up just right. That is, until disruptive copywriter Dillon Hamilton comes blasting into her workplace and spins her personal life out of control.  Serena tries to draw boundaries, but gorgeous Dillon has in mind a much sexier script for their lives. He’s pulled towards Serena’s orbit, quickly ranking her sexiest skirts and memorizing the scent of her locally sourced organic shampoo. Serena struggles to remain unmoved by Dillon’s kinetic charm, even as she relishes their chats about their mutual passion, the Houston Rockets.  Though order-loving Serena shies away from Dillon’s messy complications, she can’t escape her fantasies. When Dillon’s determined pursuit leaves Serena breathless, it might just be ‘all systems go’ for ROCKET MAN .….

      Their matchmaker folks think it’d be great  If Natalie and Evan would date  Watch them say, “No thanks,”  But plow into the banks  Of the slippery slope where they skate  Natalie East and Evan Lee are determined to stay single. Their parents are just as determined to get them together.  Nat, still reeling from the abrupt end of a three-year relationship, needs to prove to her mother that they are both capable of enjoying successful single lives. Her conventional mother pressures her to date their new friends’ self-indulgent and status-obsessed son. The interference drives Natalie wild.  Evan worked like a demon to launch his career. Now he's ready for a devilish amount of fun. While he was achieving success, his parents planned his future; they gush that Natalie is sweet, steady, and ready to settle down. Each message from his family hacks away at his joking, easy-going façade. When Nat and Evan involuntarily connect over coffee, neither is what the other expected. As their friendship grows and passions emerge, will they risk losing their independent lives? Are they prepared for a journey from lighthearted friends to steamy lovers…or more?

      He craves a place to land.  Photographer Victor Anthony has one lifelong friend - Anton Bellamy - and one lifelong crush - Anton’s big sister, Gillian. A romantic to the core, each pic he snaps of Gill sharpens his conviction that she’s the key to finally having a family that sticks around.  She needs to fly free. In the year her three best friends will all wed, Gillian Bellamy takes her own vow: to put herself first. Her family life and a career in academia have taught her that no one else ever will. But when her friends learn about their college hookup, they pester Gill to give Vic a second chance.  Will his dreams stop her from soaring?  Gill doesn’t want to be the raven-haired, razor-witted cake topper of Vic’s dreams. Her relationship terms are all short-term, while his heart-eyes are looking for permanent ties. And she can’t trust that he’d ever have focused on her if she wasn’t his best friend’s sister. Can Vic nudge past her cynicism to show her a future they both can love?
