Raven
When my husband abandoned me, he left behind a target on my back and a trail of enemies.

7 - The Other Side of Wild by Lindsey Saenz
When you hear about deathbed confessions, you think of life advice, expressions of love, or heartfelt apologies. That wasn’t the case for me. My father used his last breath to tell me I’d never make it in my field of work. How could I be enough for anyone when I wasn’t enough for him? I should quit while I’m ahead, he said.
His words lit the torch to be the best Sports Journalist I could be. To make it to the top would mean I proved him wrong on this side of the grave. When my boss offers me the opportunity of a lifetime, I jump in with both feet.
I enlist the help of The Tampa Bay Hawks Hockey team, who I’m covering this season, to help me pull off the event my future depends on.
Finding a group of people who accept me as I am in the process wasn’t in the plans; neither was falling for the man with a pure heart, kind smile, and demons that rival my own.
When push comes to shove, can we pull this off, or will we all drown?

11 - Indiscretion by Vi Keeland
He's her boss. She's his greatest temptation.
The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed.
The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there.
When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder.
Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all.
Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking.
We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about. He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described. Though she was also right when she’d said you two will hate each other.
When daylight rolled around, Dawson and I attempted to straighten out the mess we found ourselves in. But it proved to be more difficult than we initially thought. Since it was a holiday weekend, there wasn’t a single room available for more than fifty miles.
I suppose things could be worse than sharing a cabin for a weekend with a handsome man you despise.
Like maybe him winding up being your new boss?

A marriage of convenience might save his ranch, but will it break her heart?

I don’t remember a time when I didn’t love Rhett Walker, which is complicated since he’s ten years older and my brother’s best friend. After a falling out, we didn’t speak for years—until today, when he found me sleeping in my car, threw me over his shoulder, and dragged me “to safety.”
​
He’s grumpy and overprotective and even more handsome than I remembered. I’m shocked to learn he’s in trouble. Someone is sabotaging his ranch, which is thirty days from foreclosure. He needs a loan from a friend who won’t extend the funds unless he’s married. Only Rhett’s now a single dad with no plans to fall in love again.
​
When his brother suggests I marry Rhett for health insurance so I can rehab an injury, my first reaction is hell no. I can’t afford to catch feelings for someone who won’t see me that way.
But spending time at the ranch reminds me how much is at stake—the family business, the welfare of Rhett’s children, and the happiness of a man I’ve always longed for.
​
Rhett says we’ll keep things platonic in private, even though I’ll be sleeping in his bed. He refuses to mix business with pleasure.
​
Except when the lights go out in his bedroom, our chemistry is too explosive to contain.
Would it be so bad to fall for Rhett? Or will he steal my heart all over again?
One thing’s for sure—the clock is ticking on our divorce.

The attraction that burns hotter each moment they spend together. As Lydia slips past his defenses and his brother’s mysterious past becomes a very present threat, Arthur will have to risk everything to keep her safe―even his heart.
