Kilenc évvel ezelőtt Weston Madigan megmentett engem. Pénz nélkül, összetört szívvel és terhesen érkeztem Coloradóba, hogy új életet kezdjek. Weston munkát adott nekem a családja üdülőjében, majd másnap elment, és soha többé nem tért vissza, még látogatóba sem. Aztán belebotlok, ahogy éppen - fenségesen, de teljesen helytelenül - póló nélkül reggelit készít a dolgozói szállás közös konyhájában. A mindkettőnk arcán látható megdöbbenésből ítélve ő sem számított szobatársra, főleg nem kettőre. A mogorva pilóta csak azért jött haza, hogy elindítsa családja új vállalkozását. Ha betartjuk a szabályokat, talán figyelmen kívül hagyhatjuk a köztünk lévő vonzalmat. Hiába van gyönyörű, mélabús barna szeme, a pasi egy két lábon járó viharfelhő. De amikor Sutton, a lányom megnevetteti, és rám mosolyog, minden megváltozik. Tiszteletét teszi a kellemetlen szívdobogás. Ez csak egy ideiglenes helyzet. Nem szabad beleszeretnem Westonba. Nem. Szeretek. Bele. De a szabályok máris repülnek ki az ablakon, ha egy kicsit túl közel kerülünk egymáshoz.

Perfect for fans of Laurie Gilmore, Sarah Adams and Lynn Painter. What happens in Vegas, never stays in Vegas . . .

She’s spent the past year trying to forget it ever happened, until a surprise email from a wedding chapel lands in her inbox. Now Lee has no choice but to track Nico down . . . and tell him they’re married.

Breaking the news to him should be simple, but walking away proves impossible when she discovers that Nico needs a wife to save everything – and everyone – he holds dear. Agreeing to play the role of happily married couple is risky enough.

Tudtam, hogy rossz ötlet. A szívem mégis hamarabb döntött, mint én. Valentina Rhodes az egész eddigi életét azzal töltötte, hogy a saját szükségleteit háttérbe szorítva mindenki más kedvére tegyen. Amikor rájön, hogy a ragyogó egyetemi diplomája még mindig nem elég a családjának, érzi, hogy valamin változtatnia kell. A nyarat Oakport szigetén tölti a legjobb barátaival, és azt tervezi, hogy felforgatja az életét. Egy tiltott kívánságokból álló bakancslistával felvértezve végre készen áll felfedezni, hogy ki is ő valójában. Aztán Caden Callahan keresztülhúzza a terveit. A karizmatikus focikapitánynak nem lett volna szabad itt lennie, és végképp nem költözhetett volna be a lány szobájába. Valentina bebeszéli magának, hogy a korábban együtt töltött éjszaka csak egyszeri hiba volt. Egészen addig, amíg rá nem jön, hogy a srác egész nyáron a baráti társaságukkal lóg majd. Így minden lopott pillantás és véletlen érintés azt az egyetlen szabályt fenyegeti, ami tiltja a barátok közti randizást. Valentina tudja, hogy az lenne a bölcs dolog, ha elkerülné Cadent. A biztonságos választás. De ahogy végre először saját magát helyezi az előtérbe, szembesül a lehetetlen felvetéssel: talán az önmagáért való kiállás igazából nem is azt jelenti, hogy egyedül marad.
