If someone were to ask Jasmine Santos to describe the last few years of her life with a single word, it would definitely be a four-letter one. After 17 years - and countless broken bones and broken promises - she knows her window to compete in figure skating is coming to a close. But when the offer of a lifetime comes in from an arrogant idiot she's spent the last decade dreaming about pushing in the way of a moving bus, Jasmine might have to reconsider everything.

Losing people you love is hard. Aurora De La Torre knows moving back to a place that was once home isn’t going to be easy. Starting your whole life over probably isn’t supposed to be. But a small town in the mountains might be the perfect remedy for a broken heart. And checking out her landlord, across the driveway, just might cure it too.

When the man you worshipped as a kid becomes your coach, it’s supposed to be the greatest thing in the world. Keywords: supposed to. It didn’t take a week for twenty-seven-year-old Sal Casillas to wonder what she’d seen in the international soccer icon—why she’d ever had his posters on her wall, or ever envisioned marrying him and having super-playing soccer babies. Sal had long ago gotten over the worst non-break-up in the history of imaginary relationships with a man that hadn’t known she’d existed.

Nina Popoca needs help. So, so much of it. The only place she can find that help is on a sprawling ranch in Colorado. A place hiding more than a community filled with magical creatures trying to live their lives in safety and in peace. A village that might hold the answers to questions she’s had her entire life.

If anyone ever said being an adult was easy, they hadn't been one long enough. Diana Casillas can admit it: she doesn't know what the hell she's doing half the time. How she's made it through the last two years of her life without killing anyone is nothing short of a miracle. Being a grown-up wasn't supposed to be so hard.

Luna Allen has done some things she would rather no one ever know about. She also knows that, if she could go back in time, she wouldn’t change a single thing. With three sisters she loves, a job she (mostly) adores, and a family built up of friends she’s made over the years, Luna figures everything has worked out the way it was supposed to. But when one of those secrets involves the man who signs her paycheck, she can’t find it in her to regret it. Despite the fact that he’s not the friendliest man in the world. Or the most patient.

Some days, all you need is a message from a stranger. Ruby Santos knew exactly what she was getting herself into when she signed up to write a soldier overseas. The guidelines were simple: one letter or email a week for the length of his or her deployment. Care packages were optional. Been there, done that. She thought she knew what to expect. What she didn't count on was falling in love with the guy.

Of all the things that could have landed in her yard, it had to be him. For most people, finding a half-naked superbeing in their yard might be a dream come true. Unfortunately for Gracie Castro, it’s the exact opposite. Especially when he’s grouchy, rude, and shows no signs of leaving anytime soon. But when a hero of mankind needs you, you do what you have to. Even if it compromises everything you know. And totally changes your life.

He was my boss, my brother’s friend, a Widow, an ex-felon, and a man I’d seen casually with a handful of women. But he was everything that gripped me, both the good and the bad. Worst case scenario if things turned awkward between us, I could go somewhere else. I’d gotten over epic heartbreak before, one more wouldn’t kill me. After moving to Austin following six months of unemployment back home, Iris Taylor knows she should be glad to have landed a job so quickly... even if the business is owned by a member of the same motorcycle club her estranged father used to belong to.

Before he was “Big Texas,” he was “Zac the Snack Pack". Bianca Brannen knows time - mostly - heals all wounds. Including those your once loved ones might have unintentionally given you. (Those just take longer.) She thinks she’s ready when a call has her walking back into her old friend’s life. Or at least, as prepared as possible to see the starting quarterback in the National Football Organization. Before the lights, the fans, and the millions, he’d been a skinny kid with a heart of gold.

Es war einmal ein Mädchen, das einen magischen Welpen fand, und ihr Leben war nie mehr dasselbe. Nina Popoca braucht Hilfe. Der einzige Ort, an dem sie diese Hilfe bekommen kann, ist eine weitläufige Ranch in Colorado. Ein Ort, der mehr verbirgt als nur eine Gemeinschaft voller magischer Wesen, die versuchen, ihr Leben in Sicherheit und Frieden zu leben. Ein Dorf, das vielleicht die Antworten auf Fragen bereithält, die sie ihr ganzes Leben lang beschäftigt haben.

Some things are easily forgiven. Other things...not so much. Lenny DeMaio made herself a promise: She was done. Done thinking about him. Done worrying about him. Done reaching out to a man who clearly didn’t want to be found. Too bad no one gave Jonah Collins the memo.

Liebe spielt in einer anderen Liga. Vanessa Mazur weiß, dass ihre Kündigung das einzig Richtige war! Schließlich war ihr Job als Assistentin (und Köchin und Putzfrau und Social-Media-Managerin) von Football-Superstar Aiden Graves nur als Übergangslösung gedacht. Doch jetzt steht Aiden vor ihr und bittet sie, ihn zu heiraten! Aiden? Ihren launischen, unfreundlichen - und zugegeben unheimlich attraktiven - Ex-Chef, der sie zwei Jahre lang wie Luft behandelt hat?

Cultiva el respeto mutuo y enseña sobre el consentimiento y los límites saludables mediante pequeñas decisiones diarias. Atrás quedaron las charlas solemnes; la verdadera educación infantil ocurre cuando eliges la ropa, compartes juguetes o decides sobre un abrazo. Al escuchar esta guía...

Lenny ha chiuso con il passato. E soprattutto ha chiuso con Jonah Collins. C'è stato un tempo in cui credeva che fossero fatti per stare insieme. Ma poi lui è sparito. Non è servito a niente tentare di contattarlo con messaggi, e-mail o telefonate. Jonah non si è fatto vivo quando aveva bisogno di lui e adesso Lenny ha smesso di preoccuparsene. O di pensare ai suoi splendidi occhi... Ora è concentrata sulle cose che contano davvero. Come la palestra di suo nonno, che deve essere rimessa in sesto.

Jasmine Santos ha trascorso quasi tutta la vita sul ghiaccio: è una campionessa di pattinaggio in coppia. Ma, ora che il suo partner l'ha scaricata, non ha molte possibilità: per quanto sia talentuosa, il suo caratteraccio è un vero ostacolo a trovare qualcuno disposto a fare coppia con lei. Forse è arrivato il momento di dire addio ai pattini? Quando il campione del mondo in carica, Ivan Lukov, le chiede di diventare la sua nuova partner, Jasmine sa che potrebbe essere un'occasione unica e irripetibile.
