A new threat moves into New Orleans and it will take all of them to keep control of their territory. With emotions running high, Jon struggles with the nefarious life he's been pulled into as well as the idea of sharing his beloved with a monster and a thug. Are Victor's plans and purposes for only a time to construct the proper appearances to the world, or is this the new life he has signed up for?

One man has never been far from her thoughts - Kade McMillian, but his return to town after far too many years of chasing his dreams couldn't be more poorly timed. With a younger man demanding Rebecca's attention at the office, she has to decide between reconstructing a relationship from her past or diving in deep to something new and seemingly forbidden.

With Victor out of the picture, there's nothing left to focus on but Billy Turner, a man who applies a tight grip and doesn't take no for an answer. The serial killer has his eyes set on getting his ultimate prize - Kate. With one threat out of the way, Marcus, Kate and Jon face their final hurdle to getting their life back. They have to pull together, learn to trust one another, and continue to foster their odd relationship if they plan to make it out alive and unscathed.

Bill Turner is the new threat in town, and he's hell bent on bringing Marcus and Kate back under his leadership, but Victor's not at all willing to part with his new associates. Kate struggles as a new drug is brought onto the market, namely because she's given dominion over it.

The lake might be cold, but this thing between us is white hot. My best friend’s little sister. You know, the one that’s off limits. And she has been since we were kids. But that ain’t saying I wasn’t looking. She’s all grown up now and hotter than sin.

Jake Isaac left Texas quite a few years ago; his heart torn from his chest, and his mind set on being a bachelor forever. Maine would welcome him, give him land to explore, and a community to belong to. Getting a job as the coach of the local junior high and serving on the fire department kept him busy - and labeled him a hometown hero - but the truth of his damaged heart was forever hidden.

Lisa Parks has been successful at everything she touches, her confidence her calling card. A recent move to Maine from New York is just the change of atmosphere she needs for a fresh start. With far too many mistakes in her past, her eyes remain focused on loving and leaving, her actions justified by far too many cracks in her damaged heart.

Sicily Moretti comes from a long line of good cooking and large hips. Having graduated at the top of her class from the Culinary Institute of America, she finds success in sugary treats and rich pastries. Having moved from New York to Maine with her closest friends, Kari and Lisa, she's looking for a new start where the building of her own bakery will be her focus. She's not looking for love, nor is she interested in it. She's been judged incorrectly too many times.

Want the most romantic honeymoon experience you can get? I’m your gal. Unfortunately, it isn’t by experience that I know these things. Love doesn’t come easily to an overworked type-A planner who manages romance at the most luxurious resort in the Virgin Islands. I have far too many boxes to check to be checking out anything but forms, schedules, and rose petals. For the longest time, my career has been my ultimate dream and filled me up. Love was for others who needed a partner in life to get by, but not me. Until a class-A hottie shows up and knocks me off my feet—literally.

Can’t find love? Good. I’m your guy. I mean, not your guy per se, but the guy to find you the love of your life. I’m the best damn matchmaker there ever was. Except when it comes to my own life. Why bother? I’m too busy setting up other couples and enjoying success anyway.

How in the world can someone tell a million romance tales and not have love? But then, like in chapter 20 in a good book, it happens. She walks up while I’m deep in thought and bam! It was a dimly lit bar and a rainy night. As soon as I laid eyes on her, a muse formed in my mind, and I had to talk to her. What? I’m a romance writer. Cut me some slack! Little did I know, though I should have, she rocked my world in ways I couldn’t create on paper or otherwise. She’d been with a lot of Mr. Wrongs, but maybe, just maybe, it was time for her to find Mr. Write.

Love will find you when you least expect it. I can’t count how many times people have said those words to me, but I’ve never believed them. Maybe that’s because I found love once and it broke me when I lost it. I watched my best friend fall in love with a cowboy last year.

A major cosmetics company is looking for America’s next sweetheart to be their perfume cover girl, and honey, that just ain’t me. Or I didn’t think it was. My brother offered me a chunk of change to behave in our family-owned restaurant for one day, and that’s the day handsome walked back into my life. My brother’s best friend from school. But he’s a big shot now, working for the billionaire owner of this company that’s offering me a shot. And the old man doesn’t have an heir, so my handsome first love is in line for the jackpot.

He’s moody, stubborn, and quite possibly the hottest guy I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen quite a few, but this one...I’ve been watching him since freshman year of college. Word on the street is that he thinks women are too needy, too catty, and overall pains in the butt. He’s about to meet his match.

Twelve men. One month with each of them. A ring at the end. Who will she choose? The Casanovas. Twelve of the world’s most eligible bachelors are personally invited to take a seat on this exclusive, private match-making club. The purpose? To find the perfect wife. Ten women are considered, but only one is chosen. Each of these men are after one lucky girl’s heart. Vetting these ladies is a year long event. Contests. Forms. Interviews. Demonstrations. Galas.

I’m the guy your father warned you about. But attraction ignores common sense. I'm straight up trouble. Even when I’m trying to escape it, it finds me. But this sinfully beautiful new girl in town is after a summer fling. If she knew I robbed banks in my spare time, she might run the other way. As she should, if she knew what was good for her. But, lucky for me, she’s only focused on one thing: our budding love affair.

Piper. The one I fell for during my time with the Casanova Club. It seems that I can’t shake her loose no matter how hard I try. My art and my work have been a welcome distraction, but they’re not enough. Until I meet the daughter of one of my old mentors, and everything changes. She’s an art student as talented as they come, but her pieces pale in comparison to her beauty.

The woman I loved married another man. A cowboy. You gotta be kidding me. I’m happy for Piper. At least I tell myself I am when I catch myself thinking about her. She’s long gone, but I’m still here, going through the motions of my life in Port Orchard. Lucky for me, I have my own troubles keeping me busy. Competition is stiff and we’re facing some threats. All of which, I can’t let stand.But there’s a silver lining. There always is. In the midst of dealing with all of the drama, I find myself drawn to the new girl at work.
