"Quick question: do you think a judge would let me off for murder if I tell him that it was the health inspector who has a vendetta against me?" It's a question Lucas never thought he'd have to ask when he became the owner of a food truck. And that pisses him off more considering he has enough...

Frey's a single dad, a nurse, and ready to wage a one-sided prank war against the arrogant surgeon with the sexy accent he keeps getting paired up with. While there might be more to Dr. Renato Agosti, Frey isn't sure he wants to feel anything but hatred for the man who said his biggest accomplishment was that he never met a resident he couldn't make cry. Everything changes the day Frey's pranks go too far, and Renato corners him behind closed doors. In a series of bad decisions, hate turns into something else—something forbidden and delicious.

There he was… Shirtless. Wearing glasses. Chopping wood like some kind of fantasy lumberjack. And Emil was officially helpless. Moving to the East Coast, Emil was there for two things exactly: to become a better person, and to face the part of his past he'd spent his entire life avoiding. He most certainly hadn't planned on falling in love. It was one thing to sleep with his absurdly hot neighbor for a single, steamy one-night stand, but it was quite another to become friends. And the longer Emil knows Renzo, the harder it is to walk away.

For Dallas, the question he asked is simple. He's an open-minded guy, after all, so why wouldn't it be fine for him to play house with the kind and objectively good-looking pilot he met on his flight home? For Dallas's friends, his eagerness to say yes might be confirming something they've suspected about him for a long while now. For Kylen, the pilot, it means getting his family off his back and getting a break from them trying to help him find a nice girl to settle down with. It helps that Dallas is also hotter than the sun and kinder than any man he's ever met. 

Waking up alone in a strange hotel room, missing my prosthetic legs, and having no memory of what happened the night before is not how I wanted to spend my estranged twin's bachelor party trip. Yet there I was, legless and with zero idea how I got there. Or who I spent the night with. Which is… not great. Though I suppose that trauma lies somewhere between losing my legs in a car accident, which killed my career in the NHL, and my brother running off with my fiancée. So, in the grand scheme of things, not the worst weekend I've had.

Whoever convinced me to join the gym needs to be hung, drawn, and quartered. Or, at the very least, suffer with a pillow hot on both sides every night, because this? This is terrible. Running? No thank you. Lifting? Who needs biceps anyway. Now, I will say the eye-candy is nice. Especially my new personal trainer with the tattoos and dimples. But that’s all he can ever be: eye candy. Because he’s fit and I’m not. He’s gorgeous and I’m, well, me. He’s hearing…and I’m Deaf.

When Ridge was the new guy in town, he didn't mind being the single one. After all, he's had his job and raising his daughter to distract him.

So why hasn't there been even a hint of romance for him?
