BOSS
Kit Walker is a trust fund baby who has had everything in life handed to him on a silver platter. He loves to waltz into his father's business, the top dating app in the country, and cause chaos with the employees, as long as his dad isn't looking.
Alexandra, head of the design team at Cupid's Arrow, likes to be in control. When she learns the owner is retiring and leaving, and Kit will replace him, she's determined not to let the party-loving playboy take her job. He wants to prove to the world that he's ready to be the boss, but Alex could be his undoing.
Balancing Act
Seth Barlow has high expectations for his employees. Too high, some say. He's chewed out more secretaries than he can count and he's expecting to do the same with his newest one, Tessa Edwards.
But she's different. She's completely unruffled by his arrogance. And he's coming undone by her beauty. But Tessa can't afford to lose her job, which is only thing that keeps her from losing custody of her little brother to her money-hungry aunt and uncle. So, what happens when $10,000 of company money turns up in her account? Who put it there? And will it risk her relationship with her brother... and Seth?
Help Wanted
Kenley Carmichael was fired for sleeping with her boss's husband, which sucks for many reasons, the big one being that it never happened. She's still a virgin at 28 and now she needs a new job. She answers an ad at New Haven Custom Boats hoping for a chance to learn new skills and make a new life with less drama.
The trouble is that her new boss, Zane Jackson, is utterly irresistible. For him, Kenley seems oddly familiar, so much like the girls who broke his heart in high school, but he can't stay away from her. She's perfect for the job, but there's so much else she's ideal for in his life.
Let Me In
Tate Winslow was one of the best in her field, a deadly force who other agents envied and admired. But she's done with that life, ready to retire and give up the guns, the dangers, and having her life be on the line every day. But she can't stay away when her former boss, Derek Cole, shows up on her doorstep barely alive and in need of her help. She's the only lead Derek has on a case that could change the world. The only people who can stop it are a retired agent and one who's gone rogue, and both of them are feeling the heat in some very dangerous ways.
Burned
