When college student Kasey Whitton takes a job babysitting for single dad Jian Li, she doesn't expect to fall in love with the newborn baby -- or with Jian.

                                                                      *****

Love is the last thing on Kasey Whitton's mind when she agrees to take an overnight babysitting job to help support her struggling family. But as her business relationship with single dad Jian Li slowly develops into something more, Kasey is surprised to find herself falling in love with him despite his hot-and-cold attitude towards her -- and the fact that she has a long-term high school boyfriend. Will her growing feelings for Jian and his newborn son be enough to convince her to risk everything stable in her life? Or will Jian's fear of commitment -- and his belief all the women in his life are cursed -- be enough to keep them apart?

"Pretty sure I told you I didn't want one." He retorts and I shake my head quickly. "No, I told you I was going to find you a girlfriend and you said 'sure, whatever you want.' So technically you didn't say no." Alondra Brown has one rule for herself. No messing around with her father's hockey players. However, after a night of getting out of her comfort zone and an instant attraction with a guy in a bar, she finds herself entangled in a lie with none other than Jack Schultz, her father's star hockey player.

Rory has loved Jay since she first laid eyes on him. This has not made life at the Earth and Body spa easy for anyone on the All-Year Lifeguard team. But this year, everything's going to change. Suddenly, Rory has a backbone, one that Jay's not so sure he appreciates. No longer will she put up with Jay's grumpy, uninterested attitude. She's 100% done bending over backwards for him and being in love with him. That's all easier said and done, especially when bunking accommodations are changed and guess who Rory's new roommate is. Now Bryce, the leader of the rival lifeguard team from the spa across the lake, is showing interest in her. Something Rory isn't certain she trusts. Is his interest in her genuine, or is he only interested in using her as a pawn in the feud between him and Jay? Either way, she definitely likes how angry this all seems to be making Jay. Rory finds herself in a strange new position. Two men are seemingly vying for her attention, dark secrets from her past are threatening to resurface, and the patrons are being nothing short of obnoxious.

Yet, when her family takes up a case from a mysterious client to save their struggling business, Lexi is thrust out of her comfort zone and into the spotlight. The mission? Undercover work at the most social place in existence - college. To make matters worse, her past comes back to haunt her in the form of a very attractive, and very off-limits professor.

Her childhood was spent in a constant state of fear, her only solace being her two half-sisters, Charlotte and Bailey, who were forced to live the nightmare alongside her. Her father finally got caught when she was seven and for a fleeting, white-hot second, it seemed that things were going to be okay. She should've known better. She should've known that her mother would jump ship, choose the drugs and not the daughter.

At the age of eighteen, Jade is counting down the days before her exams are over, excited to spend the summer with her two best friends and boyfriend.
