New York Times Bestselling Author Vivian Arend​ brings you the first STAND ALONE book in the bestselling SIX PACK RANCH series.

-------------
Sometimes love is right there for the taking.

Responsible oldest of six brothers, Blake Coleman knows his desire for the sweet girl-next-door is wrong. While Jaxi has grown into a western-hat-wearing blonde with slim legs that go on forever, the responsible thing to do is keep his hands off.

Jaxi has other plans for Blake's hands, and his heart. She's more than ready to convince him they’d be perfect together, but he can't seem to see past the big "don't touch" sign that's apparently hanging around her neck.

When Jaxi ends up living on the Six Pack ranch right under Blake's nose, the undeniable heat between them slides off simmer and up to barn-burning levels. When a couple of Blake’s younger brothers decide Jaxi's brand of trouble is worth getting tangled up with, Blake's going to have to let go the reins and fight for what he really wants—her heart, forever.

Warning: Unapologetically sexy, this book contains cowboys seducing and being seduced: in trucks, pool halls, and barns. Drool-worthy country charm, a little double-teaming, and a lot of secrets are revealed as the Coleman family saga begins. Saddle up and ride.

Good people sometimes do bad things

Marianne needs to find who's leaking secrets from her company, before they lose another major contract. What she doesn't need is an affair with her married boss. Even worse, to fall in love with him.

A romance box-set of over the top alpha billionaires. From accidental marriage to big unpredictable surprises. These gorgeous men will have you on your toes and will whisk you off into worlds filled with passion and romance. The only question now is will you give these hunky daddies a second chance?

Now he's on his knees...
The words he utters next?
Are words that will change everything.
 

I was chasing what I thought was a dream.

Having made a billion dollars by twenty-nine, I decided to retire.

Build a boat. Back where life started in my small town on the lake.

My days of one-night stands are hopefully behind me.

I’m ready to find the girl who has a big heart she’s willing to give away.

And I found her, but she’s tainted by her past.

Seems life has dealt her a few too many blows, and rich guys aren’t her thing.

They aren’t mine either. Ha! Looks like we have something in common.

But this girl… she’s the one. I can feel the truth of it coursing through my veins.

And if nothing else, the way she looks at me. She wants me. I’ve never been more sure of anything.

There may be a million fish in the sea, but I only see one option.

Her.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy. ~Weston

From up here on stage, I can see her. Even with her First Lady hair and Sunday school shoes, I can’t take my eyes off of her. 

The music starts. I swing my hips to the thumping bass. Oh, so slowly I slip one button through a hole, then another, then another. I ease the black silk from my shoulders and toss it right toward her. 

I watch her pale glossy lips form a big ‘O’ before she catches it like a major league baller. The flashing lights blind me. Between beats, I can see her blue eyes zeroed in below my waist.  

I know what she wants. I give it to her. With a zip and a tug, the leather pants join the rest of my clothes. In my skin tight briefs, I dance just for her. With the last chord of the song, the stage goes dark.  

I know when the lights come up again, another guy will be dancing in my place because this is my last time. I’m not doing this ever again. It’s too bad I didn’t get her name. I really liked that shirt. But not enough to go back and claim it.  

If she wants me bad enough, she’ll have to find me. 

I never gave a f*ck about my family’s billions.

I’m a military man, honorable and true.

But my damn brother felt differently. He had me tossed in prison for a crime I didn’t commit, and now, all I think about is revenge.

It slowly becomes an obsession until something finally breaks through the dark cloud.

My high school sweetheart.

It’s been ten years since graduation, and she isn’t a little smart-assed girl anymore.

She’s a woman. My woman.

I thought prison would undo me, but nothing could prepare me for the secret my girl held back from me.

A baby. A family. One I didn’t know I had.

And now my brother knows, too. He’ll use anything to destroy me, including my kid.

Money creates opportunity, but there’s a cost it requires.

The payment for wealth is high, and my brother is willing to go all in.

I might have started out honorable, but now?

There’s nothing this ex-con won’t do to keep his family safe.

Even kill.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy ~ Weston

Don’t miss this fan-favorite tale of second chances by #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts.

It’s been twelve years, but very little in Hyatt Town, Maryland has changed. Vanessa Sexton, a successful concert pianist, has finally come home to the small town after having her heart shattered all those years ago. In some ways her high school sweetheart, Brady Tucker, hasn’t changed much either—he is still lean, athletic, rugged…But the once reckless boy had become a solid, dependable man. He’d stood her up on the most important night of her life; can she ever trust him again?

“You can’t bottle wish fulfillment, but Nora Roberts certainly knows how to put it on the page.”

Originally published in 1992.

In the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains lies a small town with a big heart—and a chance to begin again . . .
 
When Hannah Montgomery buys a lavender farm in Blue Hollow Falls with three friends, she’s creating a life she never imagined—one she hopes will honor the memory of the sweet young son she tragically lost years ago. Standing on the porch of the sprawling farmhouse, looking out on row upon row of those lush purple plumes, Hannah is ready to embrace this fresh, new start . . .
 
Then she meets Wilson McCall. The stonemason hired to fix their crumbling chimneys and leaky roof is quieter than most folks in the Falls. Hannah’s not surprised to learn the widower struggles with his own grief. Who could blame her if she finds joy in making Will laugh again, or if she feels a poignant kinship when she sees him with his teenaged son?  But her deepening friendship with Will reminds Hannah that there’s a part of her that still needs to heal—awakening a tender yearning to have a life that isn’t just good enough, but lived fully—even if that means taking risks once more . . .

Dear Mr. Brisken,

How do I hate you?
Let me count the ways.

>I hate your smug, sexy millionaire face.
>I hate your cocky, skirt chasing, playboy ways.
>I hate working as your secretary--but, I love the pay. It almost makes dealing with you worth it.

>I hate how my friends call you a BILF, when really BILK (Boss I'd like to kill) is more appropriate.

>I hate that I need you to be my date for my best friend's wedding because my ex-boyfriend, the King of Heartbreakers, and his new busty blonde girlfriend will be in attendance.

>But mostly, I hate how once the charade is over, I might not hate you at all . . .it was so much easier when you were the Boss I Love To Hate.

Sometimes in the darkest of moments light breaks through.

Cobra once wore the Steel Devils MC patch and his territory was Montana. Now his bottom rocker reads Nomad.

Cobra used to be the Enforcer in the Steel Devils MC, and his reputation for ruthlessness was well earned. After doing a stint in the penitentiary, he opted out of the MC life, and hit the open road. Still a biker and an outlaw, he goes where the road takes him. He hooks up with women for a while then when the restlessness sets in, he kisses them goodbye and is gone in the blink of an eye.

He doesn’t want anything or anyone crimping his style. He came from a background that taught him to trust no one and that loving anyone causes pain.

Yeah … he’s just fine on his own.

Then Dakota crashes into his life and turns it upside down.

The girl’s trouble.
She’s got a ton of baggage.
And she’s driving him crazy with desire.

Dakota has demons inside her that no one can chase away. The last thing she wants is a man in her life. Men only want to use and abuse women and she’s had her fill of them.

But then she meets Cobra, and even though her logic tells her he’s a dangerous and ruthless outlaw, her body wants him in the worst way.

As she gets to know him, a side of him comes out that Dakota doubts anyone has seen.

And just when she puts her guard down and trusts him, her world comes crashing down on her.

Can Cobra soothe the demons inside Dakota, and can she teach Cobra to let someone into his solitary life?

The Nomad Biker series are standalone romance novels. This is Cobra’s story. This book contains violence, abuse, strong language, and steamy/graphic sexual scenes. HEA. No cliffhangers. The book is intended for readers over the age of 18.

This guy could offer me the moon, and I’d hand it right back.

Never in a million years did I expect to run into the biggest crush of my childhood.

But, of course, I have.

And I’m reporting to him at the new company I landed a big-time job at.

Arrogant. Hot as hell. Total jackass.

Why he’s still single is no mystery to me. He’s not willing to settle down.

He’s always been that way, and as far as I’m concerned, he always will be.

But, boy, is he beautiful to look at. Every part of me screams "run" as my insides turn to mush.

No. Not me too…

Not again. I should be immune by now.

I know him far too well to fall into this hopeless pit of adoration again.

But maybe there’s a way around it. It’s his power that drives me over the edge of insanity.

If I were the boss instead of him, I’d hold all the cards.

Good thing I’m always up for a challenge.

Funnily enough, this guy thinks he’s going to score.

He might have to redefine what getting lucky looks like after me.

At least, that’s the plan.

I’m pregnant. And my baby has two daddies…

I was no one, just another American tourist backpacking her away across the world. Until I stumbled into the arms of not one, but two beautiful British men:

Prince Roland. The blonde-haired, blue-eyed, drop-dead-gorgeous prince of England. Cocky, brilliant, with the biggest…heart of anyone I’ve ever met.

Ben Tolle. The dark-eyed, brooding former-soldier turned bodyguard. They say the quiet ones are always the kinkiest, and his hands are powerful instruments that make me weak in the knees.

They love me and each other—and I love them. Now I’m pregnant and I don’t know how to break the news. Worse, there are people who hate our unconventional union…people who would do anything to see us torn apart.

The world wants me to make a choice. But this American Princess doesn’t roll over. I’m going to fight for my family and the happy ending we deserve. Together.

Amber

How would I describe myself?

Single mom.

Strong as steel.

Stupid – because I listen to my heart and not my head.

Logan

This job interview was supposed to get Amber in front of me so I could apologize for hurting her. So I could figure out how to get a second chance to make her mine.

I don’t care if she’s had kids since us – I’ve always wanted to be a dad.

She’s my best friend’s li’l sis – we’ll figure that out.

I’ve got money – but I can’t buy her.

I was her first – she was mine.

I want her to be my last.

Wait…is that even possible?

One kiss changed everything.

Sounds like something out of a fairy tale, but it’s more like a reality TV show.

And thanks to that show, I finally get my big chance at fame.

But there’s a catch.

My fiancée needs to star in the show too. The damn thing is for couples.

The only problem?

I’m not engaged.

But that’s not going to stop me.

Surely, there’s a lucky lady in the world willing to play my fake fiancée for a trip to Hawaii.

And I know just the girl.

But things never work out as planned, and I have to make a decision soon after we get to the show.

What’ll it be?

The fame I’ve lusted after, or the real love I never expected to find?

I need a wife. Now.

It doesn’t have to do with love and living the good life. This is all about getting the money my billionaire father left to me.
And I’m running out of time.

But who proposes to a stranger after the first date?

Me. That’s who. As if I have another choice.

Luck is on my side though, and a beautiful model shows up in my office.

Single? Gorgeous? Funny? All of the above.

Our first date goes so well that I feel unsure about my decision to do this thing with her—you know, fake it. I put it off and decide to do it later, to ask for her help after we get to know each other better.

But I like her more and more each time we meet, and eventually, offering her a ring isn’t for my dad’s money—it’s because I want her more than anything else in the world.

Besides, who’s going to know if it’s fake or real? And does it really matter?

Yeah. It does.

To her…

I take what I want, and what I want is Olivia...

I wanted her the moment I saw her.
Virgin curves, sun-kissed lips, legs that wouldn't quit.
She craved adventure, and I craved her.
Billionaires don't ask permission, they just take.
So I took Olivia... all night long.
Before I could taste her again, she disappeared.

Two years later, she's back. Olivia's my new secretary.
And she has a big secret, my son.
We revisited our past. And woke up with a ring on our fingers.
This marriage may be a mistake, but my vows are real.

But someone's still trying to keep us apart...
And whoever kept me away from my family will f*cking pay!
