Unlucky in Love

Claire: A few hours after losing my job, I get a call from a stranger who claims I've inherited property from my father. I assume it's a scam, because my dad is alive. Turns out my mother is the liar. I board a flight to my bio-dad's hometown, but the turbulence is so bad I worry we won't make it. Declan, the hot, tattooed hunk next to me, is terrified too. When the plane freefalls for half a second, he kisses me with the passion of a man who thinks he's about to die. He seems to regret it immediately-and we both regret it when we discover he's my new neighbor. To make matters worse, it turns out my bio-dad's cabin is only half mine. The rest belongs to a half-sister I didn't know I had. If I weren't unemployed and broke, I'd leave, but this crappy half-a-house is my only possession. So I stay in the hopes that I can convince her to sell. Unfortunately, she seems intent on setting me up with Declan, and her matchmaking tactics are extreme. Declan: I came to the mountains to hide and be alone, and now I'm never alone. Every time I turn a corner, I run into Claire. She's tempting, but I know better than to wrap her up in my trouble-or get wrapped up in hers. Contains mature themes.

Lainey My ex-fiancé was a gaslighting cheater, so I broke up with him and moved to a small mountain town for a fresh start. Now I'm working as an assistant to a professional rich woman while I launch my side business offering services for women who have been trampled on in bad breakups. I love my new life, but everything changes when a smooth-talking charmer tries to steal my boss's very expensive necklace. Jake claims he's gone legit and only got pulled into this job because his brother ran into trouble with their former employer. The last thing I want to do is fall under the spell of another charming liar, but if he's telling the truth, he needs me. So I agree to help him, and the next thing I know, he's watching trash TV with me when I can't sleep, helping me deliver FU cookies for my side business, and snuggling with my cat . . . He may be a former criminal, but he's better to me than my ex ever was. Jake No one could accuse me of being a standup guy, but Lainey makes me want to be one. The more time I spend with this perplexing, gorgeous woman, the more I want to make her mine. Contains mature themes.

Anthony After my fiancée left me for my college friend, the last thing I want is romance. But if I don't get married by New Year's Eve, I'll lose my trust fund. That's why I've hired the Love Fixers, a business that assists the romantically challenged, to help me find a woman who'll agree to a sham marriage. Too bad their most promising candidate sucks on my finger within one minute of meeting me. I'm happy when I run into Rosie, the wild friend-of-a-friend who has decided it's her duty to help me. She introduces me to other possible wives, challenges everything I thought I knew about myself . . . And then she asks me to marry her. Rosie Let the record show, it was an accidental proposal. We ran into Anthony's ex-fiancée just before Christmas, and when she asked him to introduce his "little friend," I put my arms around him and told her I was his lover. It snowballed from there. But Anthony is everything I never knew I wanted in a man, and it doesn't take long for me to want to marry him for real. Too bad I have a secret that might just ruin everything. Contains mature themes.

He's supposed to help me get revenge, but all I want to do is get him naked. Emma I lost my high-powered legal career and my boss-slash-boyfriend to one of my clients. It's hard not to hold a grudge against both of them, particularly since she's a social media influencer who's flooding the internet with their supposed happiness. Meanwhile, I've moved back in with my eccentric mother. At a low moment, I end up telling my hot, single brother-in-law all about my troubles over a bottle of whiskey. To my surprise, he tells me the only way to get over such a slight is to get even. And he wants to help. Seamus I've never been much good for anyone, so I figure I might as well be a little bad for a good cause. Emma's a strong woman who's forgotten her strength. I'd like to remind her of her power. And, sure, I'd like to do other things, too, but even I know better than to seduce my own sister-in-law. Contains mature themes.
