Always a fan of celebrating his independence, Beckett Roberts was a happy man. The Fourth of July meant sweet summer heat, loud, boisterous fireworks, and joining his newly extended family at a castle in New Hampshire with smart, sexy Danielle Mayberry by his side. What could be better? But a crack appears in that fun when Danielle receives a job offer in California. Danielle has been nose-to-the-grindstone through private school, Yale, and working weekends at Beckett's family pub. But her tidy world slips into a tailspin when Beckett tells her he wants her to stay rather than take the job in California. Can she sacrifice the important start to her career for the love of a man who avoids strings, promises, and connections at all costs? Can she trust the heart of a man like Beckett? With fireworks shooting through the star-sprinkled summer sky, with family surrounding him, Beckett will do everything in his power to make Danielle part of his family for good. But will his love be enough for a strong-willed woman like Danielle to sacrifice everything she's worked so hard for? Find out in the finale to the One Night Collection!

Mystery writer, Kara Keaton, moved to small town Stonebridge to start her life over after her husband's death. Between writing, renovating the hundred-year-old home she purchased, and trying to figure out how to keep the plants in her greenhouse alive, she stays busy. But not so busy that she doesn't enjoy her daily visits to the Plumber's Pub where the cheer of the town rings long and loud. And it certainly isn't a hardship to watch the stoic and sexy Ben Roberts behind the bar. The steadiest of the siblings, Ben's love and pride in being part of his family's pub is palpable. He's a straight-shooter--when it's important--with a strong stature and golden eyes that show darker hints of what runs deep within him. And from the day he meets the mysterious Kara, he's a man who knows what he wants. He just hasn't found a way into her world. Yet. With a spring storm barreling through the quaint New England town, Kara begins to let down her guard, and starts to understand that her heart truly is ready to love again.

Abigail Roberts built her life on grit and tenacity. She raised her brothers after their mother's disappearance and opened a cozy little pub in small town Stonebridge, Connecticut. The only problem is that the pub is crumbling beneath their feet and she needs what she doesn't have-money-to fix the place she's worked so hard to build. Declan Fitzgerald has never forgotten the fiery Abigail. So when he returns home from New York for his mother's annual Autumn Harvest Party, he's happy to help secure a replacement caterer and heads straight for the Plumber's Pub--a place he's well aware Abigail runs but has never seen for himself. With secrets of the past brimming on the horizon beside a storm, Abigail swallows her pride and accepts the catering job. But this time when she sets foot on the opulent estate, she will not be intimidated by the Fitzgeralds as she once was, and she will not go quietly into the night as she did before. Under the mists of chilled rain and surrounded by twinkle lights of the extravagant party, the past and present combust with long-held secrets, deep desires, and love that has never faded through the seasons.

Alice is twenty-four, far old enough to know that a change of scenery can't repair the cracks in a relationship long strained. But when her lover insists on a trip to a remote cabin to get away and recharge, Alice agrees... and discovers that among the beasts of the forest, there is one that shouldn't exist and yet does: a wolf that changes into a man and a man who changes into a wolf. He's savage, suspicious, and feral. And he's as undeniably interested in her as she is in him... Wolf's Wife is an erotic paranormal romance. This is the complete and full version, NOT a sample. It's just very short compared to its sequels.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)
