To save her failing bakery, a small-town baker must fake a televised romance with the All-Star baseball player who broke her heart. -------------- When electrical sparks fly in my failing bakery, I'm forced back to the reality TV show that made me a national laughingstock. Competing while managing my chronic psoriasis flare-ups was traumatizing enough the first time. This time, there's a new twist: my celebrity partner is Brody Hightower, the pro baseball star who shattered my heart the day he was drafted. The boy who left me behind is now the hottest man I've ever seen. I'm not "Brody's girl" anymore, but the heat between us burns hotter than the competition ovens. When our chemistry sends the show's ratings soaring, the producers pitch an offer we can't refuse: fake a televised romance in exchange for a guaranteed spot in the finals. The plan is simple-until a flooded hotel room forces us into the same bed. With the cameras rolling and a secret Brody is desperate to hide, there's more at stake than sweet redemption. My heart back on the chopping block, falling for him again might mean losing more than just the competition. This time, I have to choose: preserve my family's legacy, or finally choose myself. 18+ for mature language and explicit content. Story is complete!

Ten years ago, Sloane asked the golden boy of their school to go out with her. He laughed. In front of everyone. She swore she'd never give Cole power over her again. Now she's back for their ten-year reunion-older, sharper, thriving in a life she built without him. And Cole? Still golden. Still infuriating. Still looking at her like she hung the moon. When a run-in with their old classmates forces them to pretend they're together, Sloane agrees-strictly for convenience, strictly temporary, strictly not falling for him again. But fake dating turns into stolen glances, almost-moments, hallway confessions, and a wildfire chemistry that's been simmering for a decade. And when Cole finally tells her the truth-that he loved her back then and was too scared to admit it-it shatters everything she thought she knew. Now Sloane has to decide: **Can she trust the man who broke her heart at seventeen...

Love is a promise. But keeping it? That's where things get complicated. They thought college was wild-turns out, adulthood is a whole different game. Now in their late twenties, Rosalie, Reed, Evie, Corbin, and the rest of the Belmont Bay crew are back-juggling marriages, careers, friendships, and secrets they've tried to bury. The bonds that once made them unbreakable are now strained by distance, doubts, and decisions they never imagined they'd have to make. When a BBU beach reunion brings them all together for one long month, old feelings resurface, new betrayals unfold, and choices must be made.

Who knew getting screamed at could be so damn hot? Jason Myers sure as hell didn't. Not until she showed up. Jason Myers didn't ask to be the next Belmont Bay University legend. But when his bigs graduated, the crown naturally fell to him-Quarterback. Frat King. Campus Heartbreaker. And trust him-he wears it well. Until she shows up. Valeska Romanova is a mouthy Russian transfer student with too much attitude, too much confidence, and way too many opinions for Jason's liking. She calls him out, gets under his skin, and looks disgusted every time he flashes that cocky smirk. He should be annoyed. But instead... he's obsessed. Because somewhere between their explosive arguments, back-and-forth bickering, Jason realizes something dangerous: Aggression turns him on. Sass? Hot. Yelling? Hotter. Her stormy attitude and smartass comebacks? The hottest thing he's ever tasted. Now all he wants to do is chase the fire-and maybe start one with her. But Valeska's not some girl looking to be conquered. She's fierce, independent, and has her own walls up. If Jason wants her? He's going to have to fight for it. Good thing he likes a little pain with his pleasure. And this time, he's not just falling-he wants to rush all over her.
