In the leadup to her tenth Season, Meg Cynster—known to the ton’s eligible bachelors as Miss Prim—takes to the country to ponder the question: If not marriage, then what? She has yet to find an answer when she comes upon a supremely elegant curricle, drawn by a pair of high-spirited horses presided over by an unconscious gentleman. Others present know where he’s staying, but can’t manage the horses. With no real choice, Meg accepts the responsibility and drives the gentleman home. Unfortunately, he’s too inebriated to just leave, so she rouses him enough to help him inside.

My new neighbor is a firefighter - and a scorching-hot single dad - but I swear I didn’t set off that smoke alarm on purpose. (And I was beyond mortified when he rushed in and saw me naked.) Nothing happened, of course - because I, Winnie MacAllister, romance junkie and owner of a constantly broken heart, have sworn off men for one solid year. Even protective men with chiseled jaws, bulging biceps, and deep brown eyes that make my breath come faster.

I didn’t realize who the gruff, gorgeous older man was the night he rescued me from a creep in a Manhattan hotel. All I knew was that a hot, bearded stranger with a protective streak showed up right when I needed a reminder that real gentlemen still exist.

Toby Cynster is not amused when informed that his new mission is to be his last in the shadowy service of Drake, Marquess of Winchelsea. Courtesy of Toby being the last unmarried Cynster of his generation and the consequent martial obsession of his female relatives, he will be given no more excuses to avoid society and, instead, expected to devote himself to finding a suitable bride. But Toby sees no point in marrying—thanks to his siblings, he has plenty of nephews and nieces with whom to play favorite uncle, and he has no thoughts of establishing a family of his own.

Martin Cynster arrives at Carmichael Steelworks set on acquiring the business as the jewel in his industrialist’s crown, only to discover that the lady owner is not at all what he expected. Miss Sophia Carmichael learned about steelmaking at her father’s knee and, having inherited the major shareholding, sees no reason not to continue exactly as she is—running the steelworks and steadily becoming an expert in steel alloys. When Martin Cynster tracks her down, she has no option but to listen to his offer—until impending disaster on the steelworks floor interrupts.

Lord Devlin Cader, Earl of Alverton, married Therese Cynster five years ago. What he didn’t tell her then and has assiduously hidden ever since - for what seemed excellent reasons at the time - is that he loves her every bit as much as she loves him. For her own misguided reasons, Therese had decided that the adage that Cynsters always marry for love did not necessarily mean said Cynsters were loved in return. She accepted that was usually so, but she believed she would never be loved for herself.

Dimitri Titov was on hockey skates before he could walk. All he's ever wanted is to play for the Assassins, his dad's team. After growing up in Russia, he's back in Nashville, Tennessee, and ready to pursue his lifelong goal. Austen McDavid escaped the kind of life they make Netflix documentaries about. But she has survived and is thriving in her new position, preparing to lead the Assassins' farm team. A housing mix-up leads to a middle-of-the-night encounter so reminiscent of his parents' relationship, Dimitri can't help but wonder if it's fate.

When I met Wyatt Stone, I figured the game would weave its way into my young heart and become a part of my first real love. When I married him, I assumed my life would follow the same path as my mother's—the wife of an NFL quarterback, with all the highs and lows that come along with it. But when Wyatt didn't get picked in the draft, everything changed. And Wyatt's light, however hard he fought to keep it alive, dimmed. Football has a funny way of operating in this family, though. It lingers, like the haze that hovers over my family's ranch fields in the Arizona desert horizon.

Parke “Pace” Jamieson VIII knows something is special about Harmony Reed, his sisters’ college friend who was almost stranded in St. Louis for Christmas. She checks all his boxes for compatibility: looks, charm, great sense of humor, and strong attraction. Plus, the Jamiesons love her.

I didn't follow Wyatt Stone to college; I followed my heart. He just happened to be there. Against the odds, our love has only grown stronger over the last three years. Now Wyatt's entering his final college football season, only a few months away from the pro draft this spring. And despite how hard I tried to deny living the same love story as my parents, it seems I'm destined to become the wife of an NFL quarterback. Forever the cheerleader. Truthfully? I can't imagine life turning out any other way.

The next generation of the Jamiesons want to make this the best Christmas celebration ever. Presents aren't required. With the help of their Robnett cousins, sisters Kami and Victoria are creating traditional and new dishes for their family. What's not on the menu is romance. But the holidays are the perfect time to fall in love.

After discovering her fiancé's ultimate betrayal, Emery Reed returns to the only place that ever felt like home. Her family's crumbling farm in Hartson's Creek. She tells everyone she's just here for the summer. But what she doesn't say is that the wedding's off. Or that the life she spent ten years building is gone. Most days, it's all she can do to breathe under the weight of everyone's expectations. Then she meets him. Hendrix Hartson. The grumpy, tattooed neighbor who's just as guarded as she is broken. And he makes her feel something she thought she'd lost for good. Hope.

I clipped a shiny, new FBI badge to my belt, thinking I could save the world. Four years later, the shield’s got some dents, along with my idealism. And there’s one cold case that’s come back to haunt me.

Gianna Mäkinen has been in love with her best friend Riley Beckett for her entire adult life. She'd long accepted that her place in life was Riley's best friend, and that was okay. It was more than okay. She never imagined that she would have the opportunity to confess her love to Riley, to marry her, to have a herd of children with her. Riley always knew she'd be building her life with Gianna, but she never knew it would be this kind of life. This all-consuming, passionate, together life.

The most epic day of my life got even better when I ran into my brother's best friend and my first crush, Jack Hale. He's still just as charismatic, charming, and larger than life. Those skills come in handy as a sports agent whose biggest client is the country's most popular football player. When I land a career-changing interview after the big game, our worlds collide in a Vegas bar. That's when our meet-cute turns into a celebration. One night. One perfect night. Until the next morning when his famous client turns infamous. A scandal to end all scandals explodes into a media nightmare.

I know that I should just tell my ex to F-off when he announces to our entire hometown that he intends to get me back. But then I'm given the option to make him miserable instead. Yeah, I definitely go with door number two. Even though it means fake dating my arch-nemesis.

Dark romance books were always my favorite. Now I'm living one. Thanks to Joker, a man I fell in love with hard. He wooed me with lies, told me everything I wanted to hear and more. Then he chained me up in a room and promised he'll break me. To get revenge on my father.

Football has been my life. Not that I ever had a choice in the matter. When your dad is a retired, future Hall-of-Fame quarterback, the gridiron tends to weave its way into your DNA. I always loved the game, but I could do without the spotlight that comes with being Peyton Johnson, the great Reed Johnson's daughter. To make matters worse, when my dad retired from the NFL, he decided his second calling was to take over the head coaching gig at my high school, where he had coached my boyfriend for the last three years. Correction—my ex-boyfriend.
