With one reckless decision, I wind up married to Jaxon Hunter, country music’s biggest bad boy.

Only a future with Jackson can’t happen without reconciling with his past. But I’m not sure if I can endure the drama, the secrets… or competing with the only woman Jackson has ever loved. less

But in the real world, she's far from powerful and in charge. She never knows exactly what to do or say For years, she counted on one person to be exactly who he said he was--her best friend, Wyatt Tanaka. Only she changed the rules on him, without any warning, and now she's the one being punished. Marine Veteran, Wyatt Tanaka, came home to a hero's welcome. Only he's hiding a secret that makes him anything but a hero and could potentially destroy his life. He's doing the best he can, trying to cope with the guilt, and the pain of the girl he loves pushing him away by doing all the things he'd sworn not to. With Lacey's new rules, he has nothing and no one to hold onto. Nothing to keep him from feeling dead. Instead, he allows nameless women, bars, drugs, and drinking consume him. Then one night, he goes too far, gets in too deep, and when the truth comes out…will Lacey push him away or help save him?

Only, number three doesn't matter to him, because he's determined to give up everything to be a standup dad, including racing, partying, and his favorite vice-women. Until that is, he's invited to race in Monaco--a dream he's always had... moreBeau Montgomery is *not* the typical single dad for three reasons: 1. He's rich and famous. 2. He needs a nanny, like yesterday. 3. He has no idea if eight month old, Mia, is actually his daughter. Only, number three doesn't matter to him, because he's determined to give up everything to be a standup dad, including racing, partying, and his favorite vice-women. Until that is, he's invited to race in Monaco--a dream he's always had. Now, all those things he'd sworn to give up are at his fingertips, including the very inconveniently hot nanny, Landry Basnight, who's traveling with him. Landry Basnight *is* the typical college graduate for three reasons: 1. She's broke and in debt up to her eyeballs. 2. She needs a job, like yesterday. 3. Nothing exciting ever happens in her life. Only, number three is about to change, because she's been hired by Beau Montgomery, son of Racing Royalty. Landry's parents are big fans of the Montgomerys, while she couldn't care less--all she wants is to make a dent in her student loans. However, that doesn't stop her from falling in love with her little charge, nor does it make it easier to resist Beau's charms. Lines are crossed, and then forgotten as Beau and Landry grow closer, but when Beau's ex-girlfriend, who is also Mia's mother, shows up, everything starts to fall apart for the new couple. Will their love weather the storm, or will Beau abandon Landry for the family he's always wanted? less
