It's been eighteen years since Kara Calhoun laid eyes on David Scarlatti, the one man who'd always gotten under her skin-the wrong way!

Even if it means temporarily dating the super-geek-turned-dedicated-surgeon...who's much too good-looking for this video game tester's good!
The bubbly blonde dynamo is the skinny tomboy who used to drive Dave crazy? Impossible! And agreeing to her plan is even crazier...especially when Kara awakens irresistible desire in the reserved physician. With their pretend romance flaring into something neither expected, Dave devises a backup plan: convincing Kara that that incredible first kiss won't be their last....

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.
If there was one thing single dad Micah Muldare lacked, it was time! The busy widower didn't have enough hours in the day for his too-full to-do list-his high-profile job demanded focus, and the rest of his not-so-spare time was devoted to caring for his two little boys. He certainly had no room in his hectic schedule for romance...until Tracy Ryan walked through his door.
The once-burned attorney had long ago given up on finding true love and a family of her own. She'd grown used to keeping her heart under guard. But resisting handsome Micah-and his adorable children-was proving difficult indeed! Maybe it was time Tracy reconsidered her no-nonsense approach to life and took the ultimate risk to win the family she'd always wanted!

What was he doing back here, disrupting Brianna McKenzie's cozy world? Sebastian Hunter, heartbreaker extraordinaire, had actually shown up to their high school reunion. All at once, she felt that unshakable chemistry again, the life that might have been if he'd stayed in Bedford. Broken promises and regret. Why would she even consider getting involved with him again?
If it weren't for his mother's suspicious encouragement, Sebastian would never have attended the school function. But then he saw Brianna, the woman he'd blocked from his thoughts for years as he threw himself into his work. The past-those feelings he never quite forgot-came rushing back. This was his chance...to walk away again or face the person who'd captivated him, body and soul.

They say you can't go home again, but Keith O'Connell wasn't worried about staying. He was just back in town to sell his late mother's house and try to avoid old emotions.

She knew, however, there were some things-some memories-he shouldn't lose. Convincing him to spend one last Christmas in his family's home could melt his hardened heart. But would it bring back the man she used to know and love?
