Dare to Love (Pauline)

Heller I want two things in life: to get through school so I can become a lawyer and to claim the local weather girl. From the first time I saw her, I knew Becca was mine. She might be a little older than me, but we can make it work. Becca is mine, and I want to weather the storm of this life with her by my side. BeccaNine years is not a "little older." Not when he's eighteen and you're twenty-seven. But I can't help it. It might be a bit taboo, but Heller is the only thing that makes sense in my life. Unfortunately, as one of the local on-air meteorologists, everything I do becomes public and comes under scrutiny by the station. I don't know how we can possibly make this work. Heller thinks we can weather the storm together, but I think the winds of conflict might just rip us apart.

Alyssa I've been in love with Micha Sterling for ten years. Not that he knows who I am. He's a movie star and I'm a baker from Podunk, USA.But my sister… She's a movie star, too. And when she asks me to switch up with her and go on a series of dates with the man of my fantasies, I can't say no. I know it's a bad idea. I know we should have grown out of switching up when we were in school. I know this will not end well. Still, I can't pass up this chance to be with Micha, even if he thinks I'm someone else. But when I lose my heart to him, the only end to the story can be disaster. Micha The minute she walked into that restaurant, I knew she was destined for me. I can't explain it. I've met her before and never had a reaction. Now? I can't make her mine fast enough. Every moment we spend together confirms it. She's less Hollywood and more real woman, exactly what I've always wanted.But something is off. I just need to figure out what it is and hope it doesn't ruin the best thing that's ever happened in my life. My forever is right in front of me, and I can't let her slip away. A few dates will never be enough. I want forever.

Merry Brighton Banks… He's the boy next door, my secret crush and now my coworker. Not that we actually work together. But when a security breach happens on my computer and it's taken over by Santa porn, guess who they send to fix it. The head of security, Mr. Brighton-I-Want-to-Marry-Him Banks. Bright Merry Anna Zania is my nemesis. And by that, I mean she fills my thoughts night and day. I start the morning carpooling with her and end it… Well, let's just say she's in my head and her name is on my lips. But I'm just the boy next door. I don't stand a chance. When a very unfortunate, awkward virus takes over her computer, that naughty Santa might just give me the opportunity I need. This holiday season started out as bah-humbug, but it's about to become Merry and Bright.

It wasn't my idea. If I'd been completely sober, I might have stopped the crazies who burned the man effigy at the Anti-Valentine party I went to. I mean, that's not really my thing. I don't hate men. I'm just a normal, single girl trying to get through college without being noticed. Because everyone in my family is famous. And then the party and the stunt made national news. And there I was, front and center on the Film at 11. It's okay. I've got this. I'll dodge the paparazzi, and soon they'll tire of me. I'll sink back into obscurity. Then he shows up-my twin brother's manager. He's going to fix my reputation-thank you, I didn't know it needed to be fixed. It was just one dumb party! And apparently, he's my date for Valentine's Day, too. That ought to be fun. He doesn't even like me. That's okay. I don't like him either.
