Since he was young, Reed Garrett had been groomed to eventually take over his father's corporate empire. Except now that the day is approaching, his father is suddenly telling him he'll hand the company over only after Reed presents him with a grandchild!
Cara Delaney, his normally diligent secretary, seems preoccupied as of late. When Reed learns of the reason, he may have found a solution to both their problems. Her brother has been threatened with bodily harm, and possibly even death, if he doesn't pay back a debt within a week, to the hefty tune of half a million dollars. And she doesn't have that kind of money to save him.
But Reed does. And he proposes he pay off the debt, on the condition that she marry him and bear his child.

If there's one thing Jeremy Lucas knows how to do, it's having fun. So when company attorney Meredith Kincaid reveals she's crossing items off her Bucket List after recently turning thirty, with spending a night with him topping her list, he's more than willing to help. In fact, not only does he agrees to it, but he also volunteers to assist her in fulfilling the remaining items on her list.
Except that would mean spending a lot of time together and emotions potentially getting entangled. That's something Meredith doesn't want to risk, despite Jeremy's assurances it wouldn't happen. After all, who knew better about having fun with no strings attached than the ultimate bachelor?
But Meredith wants a guarantee. So what better way to ensure against that happening than by having them both sign a contract promising not to fall in love?
All three books of the Risky Business trilogy now compiled into a box set.
Follow corporate executives and best friends Marc Duchamp, Reed Garrett, and Jeremy Lucas as they each mix business and pleasure with a little office romance.
Brent Foster hates Christmas, even ones in the summer. And now that Carolina Welles--the girlfriend who had up and left town without even saying goodbye to him ten years ago--is back temporarily, he hates it even more. It doesn't help matters that they're constantly forced to work together in the local Christmas in July charity or that it's her favorite holiday. All he wants to do is survive the next month and then life can return to normal, and he won't ever have to see Carolina again.
​
But the meddlesome volunteer in the Kris Kringle costume throws a wrench in Brent's plans when he lures them to a cabin in the middle of nowhere and happily abandons them there, saying he'll return once they've worked out their differences.
​
Who knows how long they'll be there. Can the two survive the isolation, with only each other to rely upon? It shouldn't be too hard, even with the growing awareness resurrecting between them . . . Right?
UPDATE: Temporarily unavailable to fix some issues. It will be back up shortly!

Ever since Jill McCreedy was dumped by her fiancé, her mother, desperate for her daughter to marry, has been hounding her to begin dating again. So when it's time to attend the annual family reunion, Jill's not looking forward to it.
Until she comes up with the brilliant idea of bringing along a fake boyfriend–dumb jock Chad Randall, someone she'd never go for, but more importantly, someone her mother would never approve of. Maybe it would finally teach her mother not to meddle.
But what happens when not only does her mother adore him, but Jill finds out she's pegged him all wrong and he's exactly her type?
One little lie . . .
When Lisabette Ellis told Shane Murphy back in their college days that she had once dated a friend of his, she thought the lie would awaken the green-eyed monster and spur him to finally ask her out on a date.

Five years later, she's still firmly planted on the sidelines of the friend zone.
But after watching all her best friends marry off one by one, Lisabette is determined to find her happily ever after too–with Shane. It'll just have to take a bit of ingenuity to make him forget his hang-up and see she's the perfect woman for him. Easy peasy.
Except what happens when all her schemes don't go according to plan?
