Simplicity
Wealthy Lanna Davenport has the perfect life—and she hates it. She’s never fit the mold of upper class “princess” and would rather spend her life painting than let her overbearing mother parade her around for the eligible bachelors of her social circle…even if those suitors include Adam Munroe, the son of California’s most famous art dealer. When a handsome new gardener, Luke, turns up and shows her there’s more to art than putting color on canvas, Lanna eagerly starts to explore a world outside of what she’s been allowed to know.
But the surprisingly down-to-earth Adam makes it easy to be part of her own world and still be her unconventional self. As she grows closer to Adam but is tempted by the freedom Luke can offer, Lanna is faced with the first choice she’s ever made for herself:
Does she stay true to herself in the life she’s known, or does she paint beyond the canvas of her past and leave it all behind?
Growing Young
When party girl Catherine Davenport was sent to stay with her cousins for Christmas, she didn’t count on getting stuck with an irritating, antisocial soldier.
Catherine’s stubborn independence leads her from a bad vacation in Lake Tahoe to the middle of an art heist, and she winds up trapped in a cabin. But she’s not the only one hiding, and the wounded Green Beret inside is just as icy as the blizzard that traps them both.
To stay safe and sane in the raging storm, Catherine has to rely on her wits and reluctantly trust the young and handsome soldier, Seth. He in turn slowly warms up to his unwanted houseguest despite his best efforts. Catherine keeps his nightmares at bay, and Seth can see past her masks, and the emotional walls they’ve both put up begin crumbling. But the longer they’re together, the more they start to realize the dangers waiting for them outside are more related than they thought, and the storm—and their growing attraction—is the least of their worries.
Bittersweet Brews
Matthew Davenport isn’t used to being disliked.
Indie Fierro is the first person in a long time who can’t seem to stand him, and that’s driving him crazy. Under normal circumstances he would take the hint and leave the young coffee shop owner alone, but he’s the only thing standing between her and a couple of loan shark goons who have been harassing her, so he keeps coming back day after day and hoping she doesn’t get annoyed with him enough to throw him out.
Stepping away from someone in need is not in his nature.
Protecting Indie’s shop turns into a mission to bring some happiness into her stressful life, and next thing he knows he’s head over heels for her. But until he can convince her to open up to him about what’s really going on in her life, the pair of them could end up deeper in trouble than either of them can get out of again. And Matthew is not one to accept failure as an option.
In Front of Me
Sometimes the clearest path is the one you never saw coming.
Lissa Montgomery had her whole life planned out—until her sexist boss sabotaged her career. Now, with her dreams of becoming Boston’s top financial analyst shattered, she’s left scrambling for a new path. Enter Brennon: charming, successful, and just as career-driven as she is. Determined to spend more time with him, Lissa agrees to help out his grumpy, newly-blind roommate, Steve, after an accident.
Brennon is everything Lissa thought she wanted, but Steve, with his sharp edges and refusal to embrace life, proves to be more than just a challenge. As Lissa spends time with both men, she begins to see a different future for herself—one that doesn’t involve the corporate ladder. Because sometimes, the person who’s been through the most darkness is the one who can see the clearest.
Now, Lissa must decide: stick with the life she planned or follow her heart toward the one she never saw coming?
As Long as You Love Me
After fifteen years, straight-laced Brennon Ashworth is finally over his high school crush. Or so he thought.
After his best friend signs him up for speed dating, he inadvertently compares every woman to Molly, the carefree and vivacious girl who broke his heart. Ever since she left, he has done everything he can to make life predictable so he isn’t hurt again, even if that means life gets a little boring. When Molly shows up out of the blue, his carefully controlled life is thrown into chaos, and the masks he’s been wearing no longer seem to fit. She knows him better than anyone, so he can’t hide from Molly like he does the rest of the world. And that terrifies him.
When his pseudo-family, the Davenports, are in trouble, Brennon reluctantly teams up with Molly to find the truth and prays she isn’t lying when she says she won’t hurt him again.
Because he’s as much in love with her as ever, and he’s not sure he can survive another heartbreak.
Dear Dalia
Outdoor-enthusiast Beck Alvarez is afraid of nothing. As a counselor at an all-girls summer camp, she can handle anything that comes her way, from disputes over who gets what bunk to beating the other cabins in camp competitions.
What she can’t handle is Colin Donovan, the ridiculously rich and handsome widowed dad from San Francisco who decides he needs to spend the whole summer at camp and make sure everything is perfect for his daughter. Despite bad first impressions, the pair of them build a budding friendship, and no matter how many times Beck tells herself the parent of a camper is completely off limits, she finds him hard to resist until the end of summer sends him home.
But when a mysterious letter brings Beck to San Francisco and into Colin’s elite world of the wealthy, Beck suddenly has to choose what she wants more: go back to the comfortable and familiar world of camp, or stay with Colin and hope she’s not the only one who thinks their relationship is more than friendship.
Beck Alvarez is afraid of nothing—except risking her heart for a man who may be too broken to love again.
Let Go
After getting a divorce, losing her job, and her parents moving across the world in the same week, Amelia Blake has hit rock bottom. With nowhere else to go, she journeys across the country to seek the help of a half-sister she’s never met, hoping she can pick up the pieces of her life and move forward with a family that is much larger and more chaotic than she anticipated.

Though Jack keeps details about himself secret, he and Amelia grow closer until his past suddenly catches up to him and threatens to ruin everything the two of them have been building together. Torn between finding her place in her new family and helping Jack reconcile with his, Amelia has to learn to trust her own feelings and the man who knows exactly what it means to let go of the past and follow your heart.
