Baxter Boys

Twelve years Dylan White has waited. Twelve years since his family was yanked away. Twelve years of being alone-except for the friends he met at Baxter, who are now his family. His brother, Noah, has disappeared. His sister, Nina, just turned eighteen, but he has no way to find her. Mary Robins wears her heart on her sleeve. And it's tattooed on her chest, the dog tags of the man she worshiped, surrounded by beautiful ribbons. Her only purpose in life is to take care of those who are in need. Heal the broken and comfort that wounded-the very reason she's becoming a nurse. Except, she's never allowed anyone to take care of her. Not in a very long time. No one has wanted to take care of her until she meets Dylan and the Baxter boys. They're a weird bunch—fiercely loyal and... hers. Dylan is searching for something, and so is Mary. Searching for family, searching for friendships, and searching for love. Can they find what they so desperately need in each other?

Noelle Dubois had the perfect life. She'd studied in Paris, became a pastry chef at a vineyard, and had the love and support of both parents. In an instant, all that changed and now she's back home in New York, without a job, taking care of her eight-year-old brother and living with her aging grandparents while waiting for her mother's murderer to stand trial. Six months of limbo. Six months of waiting. Six months to learn that all she ever dreamed about has gone up in smoke. Sean Vines has dealt with his past and moved on. He has goals and dreams, and only time and hard work will see them accomplished. Things are good until a pastry chef and an eight-year-old boy churn up the memories from his childhood, and he learns that some things don't stay buried permanently, no matter how much he may want them too. Except this time it isn't Sean who is facing horrific circumstances, but a child, and it's his turn to step up and be that adult to help get him through this special kind of hell. And just maybe, he'll find a lot more than he dreamed possible. The funny thing about dreams, they can be altered by the people you meet, and that's when you realize that maybe you just hadn't dreamed big enough.

Scarlett Hannigan is really good at running away. She's had quite a bit of practice. In the beginning, she'd run away from her family. She'd ran straight into the arms of a man. His name was Tony Volta, and she was pretty sure he was THE ONE... until he wasn't. Tony had finally found the right woman, one he wanted to share his life with. But then, one day, he'd come home and found her gone. She'd disappeared, just like she did when she left her family. Only Tony, an FBI guy, wasn't willing to sit around and wait for her to return. He did what any reasonable, smart man who is desperately in love with a woman would do. He goes to the only place he knows he'll find her. And he waits. And waits. And waits. And six months later, she's back. He knew she would come home eventually. He just wishes that he was that home for her. The day of reckoning has arrived. Scarlett must face her family and the man she loves all at the same time. Her family might forgive her. But can Tony? At the very least, he deserves an explanation. She deserves to get back the things she left behind. The most important thing she left behind — his heart.
